Had same issue. Used secondary android device. Made sure play store was set to not auto update apps, went to APKPure and downloaded the 2.2.5 older version of Smart BMS app, and side loaded it. It gave me back the control of both of my Daly BMS's and no longer prompting for upgrade. May not be...

Not sure how that would apply on the battery connection but I can accommodate with this bus bar. Will connect the 2 P- of each BMS to a separate lug and then connect bus to SmartShunt.

I have tried so hard to solve the riddle of what firmware I need to flash my 2 BMS's to apply the update. They are both Daly Smart BMS 48v 16s1p 300A. They are both currently running 20210729-1002A. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I mess this up we lose everything given we're...

Made the adjustments as recommended and necessary to be in alignment with others ?

Thanks for your feedback, I was aware of this already but never hurts to double triple check with others to make sure there's not something your overlooking. Ignorance and arrogance gets you in trouble lol. Both of your responses confirms that I'm only getting hit in the life of my new batteries...

My setup currently is Panels to Epever Tracer 80A to 12v LA Battery Bank to 12v Inverter w/ Predator 3500 as backup generator. My bank and panels are not where I need them to be size wise so every night I'm having to start the generator when I get close to 12.3-4 and then all is good until I...

I guess given that's the AIO I have I'm packing up and moving to another country ?

Understood and thx for reminding me :) At any point whether its 2 or 20 panels, as long as my array voltage doesn't exceed the maximum rated voltage of the CC I can over panel to compensate for seasonal variations in power production.

I absolutely appreciate "ish" options ?. Thinking outside the box and between the lines can be the only way to make it work lol

So I was reading that aluminum can be used as bus bars. And I just so happened to have 2 that are 1/4" (6mm) x 1 1/4" (31mm) that are long enough for all batteries. Don't know if they would work but if so all I would have to do is drill holes for the threads of each battery to pass through and I...

Understood

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong with my settings. Feel like I'm so lost on this. Included latest status before I swap out the cell.

It's been a out 4 months now since my 3000w wzrelb inverter blew up and think I finally have enough in the budget to replace it. I did use the 3000w so 5000 would be a better fit if possible. Any recommendations would be great. I even noticed a refurbished growatt 6000 that was about $900. The...

I searched for a deep dive into the pros and cons of each in an offgrid setting but found very little. Hopefully this will fill the gap. Here are some of the questions I have. * Is the output of microinverters pure sine wave? * Can microinverters produce 120/240 (split phase) without additional...

Are there solid numbers or percentages regarding when cells being to swell/degrade from over/under charge/discharge?

So what device would I use that would give me accurate measurements of the consumption and ah being completely pulled from my batteries, including the power pulled from the incoming charge of the charge controller?

I ran the numbers to calculate the max output from the 2 panels i have and would like to pair with a SmartSolar 100/20 (48v config). I chased down the coldest day recorded in history for my area (hit these temps twice a long long time ago) and it put me at the the max output of...

Beginning to assemble my battery setup and know I need to top balance the cells for optimal life. What I have at the moment is: 4 Victron SmartSolar 100v/20a/48v CC 1 Victron SmartShunt 500a 2 Daly 48v/16s/300a Smart BMS w/Bluetooth 32 New/GradeA Eve 3.2v/304ah LifePo4 Cells 12 Trina 325w...

CCA specification on batteries does not dictate that it's not designed for use in other applications. If it only provided CCA then I would agree. Both motorhomes and boats use these batteries because they need the surge of power to turn a starter which cranks over the engine, the CCA defines the...

How does one handle properly wiring large gauge PV wire to an CC that has smaller connections? Scenario : 6x Panels @ 37.07v/13.79a Distance from Panels to CC: 100ft EG4 6000EX : PV Connection unspecified (assuming <= 8AWG) * Not provided in the manual At this distance, running 15a at 100'...

Ok, have BMS connected, able to connect via Bluetooth and all cells are reporting back to the BMS, have first CC connected to BMS but not powered yet by battery bank. I believe it's because it needs to be activated by incoming power. It seems kinda counter productive to the directions for the...

I had one of my Eve cells start leaking. Figured I would check here before searching online.

After coming across this particular one that supports 2500w bidirectional it made me wonder if with all that power supported by it why wouldn't it be a good candidate for an emergency 12v inverter. And the bidirectional really sounds great!

My current solar inventory is as follows: 12 - 325w Trina Panels (40.40V@10.30A/76"x40") 32 - 3.2v New Eve Grade A 304ah Cells (in route) 2 - New Daly 48v16s 300a BMS w/ Bluetooth (in route) 4 - Victron SmartSolar 100/20 48v Charge Controllers Now my predicament, I have a new cabin being...

As mentioned, Most readily available components on the inverter side that can be more budget friendly. 48v is ideal I agree in an ideal world, where everyone has access to 48v inverters down the road to pickup when one goes out, able to order online, or a physical delivery address, but there are...

My system is 48v so that might be a good fit. With my budget being at $900 I'm thinking the Growatt 6kw SPF 6000T DVM. I'm pretty sure Will has given good reviews on the Growatt brand.

Hmmm let me try....nope, can set to -40 but not -41

Can someone help me understand how to determine if a fuse/breaker is needed for 1-9, how to determine the size of the fuse/breaker, and if possible explain why at that location Understandings (please correct me if I'm wrong): * DC (Direct Current) power flows in a loop. * Because DC requires a...

I never received one and having an issue finding one for it.

That's how I originally had thought but what threw me off was a more recent article at windynation about how that is still not truly balanced usage of the batteries. There section labeled "Perfectly Balanced Charging" made me think there might a better way.
