    Bad Battery?

    Like your idea about float. The Outfit I bought the system said to use 58.4v. I questioned them on that, and three different support techs said to use the 58v value. I have always questioned that, and never had a good response from them. I believe your assessment about float, and will lower it...

    Bad Battery?

    No battery config in SA, points to MPP for data. Good point above about charging the isolated battery to reset the cells. Might have been the fix, and I didn't know it, as after the third isolated battery charged, the system is running like before. As far as MPP configs for batteries, Bulk at...

    Bad Battery?

    Interesting question. Have to look at MPP values again, but SA uses battery info from the MPP's.

    Bad Battery?

    Battery capacity is 315A Charged voltage 56.0v Discharge floor 20% Tail current 2.00% Charged detection time 3m Peukert exponent 1.05 Charged efficiency factor 95% Current threshold 0.01A TTG averaging period 3m SA has Battery voltage at 52.9v and SOC at 86% Shunt thinks SOC at 93% all other...

    Bad Battery?

    I have found about 5 different configurations for the shunt. They all work, and have found the one that works best. But, really, don't use the Victron shunt. It is not able to view remotely, hence don't use it much. Solar Assistant is plugged into the MPP inverter. The MPP reports all the info...

    Bad Battery?

    14v is strange. As soon as I can get to the failing system, I attach my charger and batteries climb faster than normal. Other times it failed to 44v and cutoff, it might take an hour or two to get up to 52v, then the 14v failure, voltages rises to 52v in about 30 minutes. So I know there is a...

    Bad Battery?

    Sorry for not responding. Didn't get a notification that you commented. Yes, Batteries get up to 58v on good sun days. Cloudy days at least 53 to 55v. As far as SOC, I use Solar Assistant daily, and that is where I base my assumptions on. I go to the battery shed, and numbers there match what...

    Bad Battery?

    Anyone have any thoughts on how to determine a Bad Battery? Or bad cells? Three nights in a row, about two weeks ago, my system died. Two MPP's LV6548. Three Husky Big Batteries (48v), Battery SOC was around 70%, and dropped to 10% SOC in less than an hour. My only diagnostic is Solar...

    I have watched many of his videos. He even had one where he used an app on his phone to communicate with the BMS on a BigBattery. Only thing I could think of was it was an earlier Husky battery that allowed BMS communication.

    True, MPP communication, but, here comes the but, want a BMS to replace the BMS in the 48v Husky BigBattery

    Thanks for the reply. Like you attitude with this world.

    Setup is rock solid for three years now. Just no way to see battery info eg; BMS

    Have been using Solar Assistant for over two years. Great product. The Shunt is only viewed with Bluetooth. Does not work 100 miles away, where Solar Assistant does.

    I just hope to find a BMS that will replace what I have. As I look for BMS's, there are so many different devices out there, and I have no clue where to start. It would be nice and easy to find a chart that would cross to a BMS from the type of connections I have. I really rely on the...

    Yes, open case to replace the BMS with one that communicates with my MPP's and SolarAssistant.
