What a crock of $%#! in point 1. 1. The battery pack has a discharge low-voltage protection function. Generally, it will protect the board at 9.2-9.7V. We recommend that the inverter end over-discharge protection cut-off voltage is 10V. I am never going to rely on my inverter to protect my...

I just recieved a call that my Jakiper batteries were found in Dallas and are on the way to me sometime today.

Thanks Niall for the link the the Secrets video! Good for getting a quick start.

I am happy with mine. There was a member that had a bad run in with the 300Ah version. See the link below. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/warning-ampre-time-300ah-plus-has-no-low-temp-disconnect-lvd-and-trips-at-100a-rated-200a.17669/

Here are the parameters for the CHINS 200Ah battery: Rated Capacity (0.2C): 200Ah / 2560Wh Cycle life: > 2000 cycles at 100% Depth of Discharge (DoD), up to 5000 cycles at 80% DoD Rated voltage: 12.8V Charge voltage: 14.4 - 14.6V Cut-off voltage: 10V Depth of Discharge (DoD): 100% Standard...

Looks really clean with the cables tucked in behind. Great job!

I have been in contact with Zhoulun of Jakiper Battery. Jakiper's response time and concern has improved a lot. I am having further issues with one of the 48V Jakiper batteries that I bought. One of the batteries has an obvious issue with the BMS. The RST button does not work at all. Per...

I got a replacement ET5410, the old one was returned. They determined that the "Last" setting did not work and my unit was resetting to factory default when the power was shut off. The new one retains the last settings used to include seeing English when turned on. This device has some good...

The adjustable legs are only square tubing in two sizes sliding into each other. They are available at most chain hardware stores. I picked mine up at a Home Depot near me. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-1-4-in-x-36-in-Zinc-Plated-Punched-Square-Tube-803047/206939537 I have them...

I have completed the testing on all four batteries, and tested the defective one twice. I removed and marked the batteries in the order which the batteries were connected in parallel. The results are as follows: Battery#1 fully charged (charger charges to 14.4V) and dropped to 13.34V after...

I was just getting ready to post about the Bluetti AC200 Max myself as I am looking to purchase one. I was wanting to know if anyone has had any issues like the often reported display problems. I also read in many places how bad the customer service is. I just wanted to know if anyone in this...

Thanks for the input. I have continued to monitor the voltages every 12 hours, and the suspect battery has settled at 12.86V, the other three batteries are still discharging, but very very slowly, and they have the same voltage of 13.65V. I am going to give this a week and give Lion Energy the...

Write to them at: service@amperetime.com Request the manuals and they will send them as a PDF, usually in 24 hours. Hope this helps.

I have my system pretty much at full use now. The addition of the two water heaters was what I needed. We have experimented with them and they are simply amazing. When the batteries are full, we start washing clothes, run the dishwasher... The system handles it well powering them almost totally...

The CHINS batteries are already going to be here on Friday. Super fast, I ordered them Sunday. The customer service sent me the user manual in digital form (PDF). I am going to upload here for viewing. The warranty is free replacement or refund with no need for return up to 90 days. They will...

Just an update. The batteries have left the California FedEx depot and are in transit to my home address. Scheduled delivery time is still for this coming Friday, 29th of Feb. If they arrive Friday, the delivery estimate at the time of ordering on Amazon is correct. I will do an unpackaging...

My order number with Jakiper is #17379. I was going to wait for Jakiper's reply to my last email, then start with the shortage claim with ABF, although that really scares me. Frieght companies don't give a hoot about customer service. I didn't think about the credit card company. That was a...

Unpackaged the Growatt and the WiFi module. Fought my way through the user manual and some online video tutorials. I bought a 12/3 heavy duty extension cable and cut it in half. I then used it to create my AC input and output. I connected my two 200Ah batteries in series and connected them as...

Watts247.com is a very good place to deal with. Ian offers some of the best support I have ever had. His prices are great, he is very knowledgeable, extremely fair and is a really good guy. I had issues with a product, Ian accepted the return with no questions and was very fair about it.

I could, but added cost and more inefficiency with the additional transformer doesn’t make it worth it. Just have to wait till VE decides to sell them here. I have a Quattro right now on my main system and I love it. I have a smaller system running with a 2200W Giandel. I would like to swap it...

I found them here: https://www.toolots.com/lighting-electrical/network-cabinets-accessories.html I ended up buying this one. I have two Signature Solar 48V/100Ah batteries in it with room for another. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082XVLG91/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, the inverter is set to and puts out 120V @ 60Hz. That was verified by a Kill-A Watt and a no name device like a Kill-A-Watt. The Kill-A-Watt shows fluctuation in voltage and the frequency varies as well when the flickering takes place. I do not have an oscilloscope to verify the stability...

Don’t take this the wrong way, but adding load to resolve an issue only masks the issue. There is an inherent problem with the Growatt. I speak only about the 3000w unit I had. When I replaced it with the Giandel, and ultimately the Victron, the issue was fully resolved and I don’t have to add...

TEG definitely has its strengths. Where solar failed in its intended use on well pads, TEG came through as a much more reliable source of energy that reduced power outages on well pads and kept well production online. Just because of the switch to TEG, we had far fewer operators having to...

Thanks for the heads up. It has been corrected.

If you watch the video closer, you will see that the lower battery works, then I pan up to the second battery and the RST button does not react.

Thanks, 4th D Solar is new to me. A quick update on my Growatt installation. The Growatt is installed, I wired a disconnects between the Growatt and breaker box and incoming PV panel array, 6 space breaker box, ran 12/2 ROMEX to 3 household outlets, each on its own breaker. The system is...

East Tester ET5410 single-channel DC load tester. The test parameters were 12V with around a 30A load . Look at the test in this post for details.

Thanks for your reply. I replaced the Growatt temporarily with my 2200W Giandel inverter and the problem disappeared. The Growatt inverter was returned earlier this year. After lots of troubleshooting, there was no resolution. I ended up purchasing a system based on Victron Energy components...
