    Charge pylontech battery with external charger

    Hi I have two Pylontech US5000 batteries which are very low in voltage and I don't have money enough to buy a Growatt, victron etc. But I have is this one lying around: https://www.vivaenergi.dk/varesoegning/batteriladere-230v/48v-batterilader-lithium-lifepo4-2095 I know that I can't connect...

    Test ground

    This is very confusing because if the earth doesn't have anything to do with grounding then why on earth (in lack of a better word :-D) should it be connected to a ground rod?

My question is: Can I connect it to my Growatt SPF 5000 ES right away or should I charge it up a...

    Is this a good setup?

    Ok. Makes sense. The seller of the batteries told me that they only was as backup for telecom as you said and never used. I thought these were perfect for the off-grid solar system but hey, that's learning by doing (or good advise from others ;-) ) I guess I'll just use these in my bunker...

    Is this a good setup?

    Hi I'm just about to connect my solar cells to charger, inverter etc. but I'm not sure if this is a safe way (and the best) to do it with the devices I have available? This is my gear: 24 Solar Cells: Rated maximum power: 245W Voltage at Pmp: 30.4V Current at Pmp: 8.05A Open-circuit voltage...
