Possible

I actually figured as much. I’ll just grab a charger I suppose and eventually I’m gonna make this come to life. It’s odd how soc shows two bars which indicates %25-%50 charged? But off of the terminals I’m getting 0.2v and then 5.0v We have another light that is flashing green and then...

Does this look normal?

Thankyou definitely will be.

6s in cold weather will fry my charge controller. 250v max. Midnights solar has a neat little website you can use to figure it out. Inverter is a growatt 6k AIO

Grounded directly to growatt ground screw on inverter is what I gathered. Thankyou

So I’ve had nothing but issues with most of the components I purchased. My Growatt AXE battery is getting replaced with 1 or 2 eg4 batteries. Breaker between inverter and batteries. I’ve ordered two little 50 ohm resistors. I ordered a dc breaker and breaker box for my solar panel connection...

Makes sense to me. I believe the max charging amperage I can have is 80amps. Does that mean I can have 5s-10p? That’s 50 panels lol I’m not opposed honestly. That would be 175v 80amps if my math and knowledge is correct?

They’re more willing to work with people who are victim to equipment error. Not user error

Multimeter reading

I’m not entirely sure my friend

I’ll be switching to 3s-2p in a week or so to bring that down. Honestly I might go do it now. I’ve got all my mc4 connectors and the tool to do it.

Ideas- -120 or 240v from generator?

I haven’t turned the inverter on yet thankfully. What exactly should I do right now? How do I make my polarity correct?

It’s so easy to do when everything looks the same. I’m glad you figured it out.

Can I do a continuity check? Or am I going to hurt myself lol

I purchased on July 1st Shipped July 5th. Received it July 19th. Installed July 23rd roughly. So it’s been about a month from the time that this all started.

Negative side

Woah lol that is impressive. I know 3m makes decent products but this blew my mind.

Yeah just spit on it first to make it extra sticky

Series connections

The scariest thing I encountered was power escaping from the unit when the unit was powered off. I didn’t like that. This occurred from the first day I used the battery. I think it’s great as well. I would buy it again. Except I would buy more than one to rule out inconsistencies.that’s my...

Water heater is most likely ac and panels produce dc…how would you bypass the device that switches dc to ac?

I have one 100amp hour growatt AXE c-1 battery.

Recheck all connections in your array? Sounds like somethings not making a proper connection? Check with a clamp meter also

Soc at time off shut off and code was around %80 I’m trying to discharge to %30

So Do you have 18 -100 watt panels like shown in pictures? Or do you have 6-100 watt panels? Correct me if I’m wrong. In simple terms Wiring in series volts will increase amps will stay the same. Wiring in parallel amps will increase volts will stay the same.

Who here thinks you should have to replace fans and cpu boards upon purchasing a brand new inverter? I for one do not think you should. I’m not going to actually. I would ….if I was assured I’d be taken care of… if it didn’t work. I’m not. I’ve changed transmissions and rebuilt old vehicles...

Current draw was around 400- 500w

Has anyone ever used a type of grease or glue to cover the terminals on the battery? I’m imagining a product like a liquid electrical tape mixed with an anti corrosion gel? Questions. Is this something obtainable? Should I coat my terminals for longevity sake? The battery is in a shipping...

How do I get it out of protection mode? The battery’s only giving me 1-5v at the moment. To wake the battery the manual states to power on the PCS. I’ve done this a few times this way now but it’s very inconsistent. Sometimes it’s working…sometimes it’s not. Ac input is %100 hooked up...

Hey thanks for that! I just looked into them! I’m definitely interested.

Care to explain what this clamping diode is exactly?

I simply switched the wires leading into the breaker and it worked fine.

Okay I’ll start off by saying this is an off grid application. I have a 6kw generator that has 240v output. Ive ran hot1-hot 2 and ground from generator. I disconnected the neutral from the generator power cable because I do not see a place to put the neutral on the inverter. That leads me...

I haven’t hooked anything up yet because I just need one person to say looks good enough to work temporarily.

4 hours usually per cycle lol please help if you suspect an issue

Would the math be 37.23v x 6=223.38? My inverter says the maximum is 250v? Am I safe enough distance away from 250 with my almost 224v?

Funny you say this. I didn’t think to test the breaker in the “on”position and the “off” position at first. After you said this I decided to test it. it still allows 50ish volts to go through it? Why is this? It’s a breaker I got off Amazon.

What’s the battery voltage at? Does your system have a low dc cut off feature?

Generator is a Honeywell 6500 240v output @ 30A

Any idea what protocol setting to chose on inverter in lithium setting #05 for this battery? I have a 6kw growatt inverter and the axe 5.0L-c1 I keep getting fault code 20 on inverter? I’m wondering how to get rid of the fault code. Is there’s an alternative method that I’m just unaware...
