Well it could happen... Are you using the UPS (Load) option as well?

Ok, I've tried very hard to get the CAN work, but eventually I gave up for now. It works, no question, but doesn't seem to be so efficient. Offpeak charging is pretty much stopped at 55-56%. No continuous charging though overnight. PV charging even worst, completely ad-hoc. Same problem with...

Well, I thought better to add some pictures. Communication protocol to the CAN bus communication, unfortunately that is not standardized, so there is various options. While I was taking these pictures for you, I quickly tested several others and it seems to be with the (other) current settings...

Is there any specific reason why you choose to get three inverter? Two 8kW would be enough with some space to expand . How much storage capacity you have (lead acid/gel?).

Hi, just barging in with an idea, the Batrion Q&A section says their unit uses the same comm protocol as the LG BMS, so it should work with the pre set values and use all data from the BMS. I'm about to order a starter kit for my leaf batteries, so I might can confirm it very soon.

Yeah, thanks for pointing out for my reckless use of autocorrect. Batrium of course, I just ordered this With a few extras. Also here is the PDF, which makes me think, the CAN could work on Sungrow hybrid inverter as well. Anyway, after I placed my order, I asked a few questions, but I did not...

Sorry it's been a while. I used CAN bus and picked one of the existing communication methode from the list (took awhile to get the right one). Batrium tech support was kind of helpful, but appeared to be they had some gaps in terms of complete understanding of their own system. I have ditched...

I was just watching some videos, and came across with this: I noticed, the guy connected the RS485 cable to the WNT #2. I'm not sure if that works on RS485, I tried to do the same thing with CAN yesterday, and I had the same false reading (Temp -100C etc). In theory it shouldn't matter, but CAN...

In my case there is no communication with the LeafMons, which would trigger a critical event, but as you said, no comm to the software, so obviously no chance to snapshot anything. My new BMS on the way just in case, but what makes me disappointed, I accepted to pay premium for the Batrium, and...

The number of panels per MPPT is summed, therefore the minimum voltage is always met the requirement. So if you do 6+3, it is 9 ( OK, just like 5+4), but you keep separate the string of 3, which is in shade some part of the day (on each MPPT). So you maximize the generation through the day. If...

OK Due to the fact, I have re-done the extension cable a couple of times, and even I tried to move it while the system was running to eliminate cold joints, I was pretty sceptic to try to move the two Leaf mons on the left hand side, closer to each other to get rid of the extended cable. But...

Is it any good? I'll see it next week, and a friends battery pack is about to be ready, so we going to use it on his setup for now. He is a bit concerned about Batrium... Me too.

Yeah, I've got answer from "Will" on Youtube: I asked the same question, and he said: "there are two connector on the back side of the interface panel, one is for LCD screen(5pin), you can directly connect the LCD if you have. The other one(6Pin) is for connecting to the BMS(8 Pin Led), The...

Sorry, I just got someone who interested to take the whole package, which would be my preference, I'm waiting for the confirmation. I'll let you know if that offer fell through.

Ok, Batrium + Sungrow SH5K-30 CAN bus communication in my case in pictures:

In my understanding, the generator can be on while the system is connected to the grid, as long it is set to DC coupled (there are options for AC or DC). Then it will charge the battery (or supply the battery DC voltage to load), which would be the goal, while I have low consumption. Then the...

This is one of them, but I think BYD also works and a few other. Don't worry about Rx, you never get any in this configuration.

As I said, did not fixed my problem either. But in the other hand, the stops become very short approximately 2-5 second and that is not enough to trigger any critical fault which would stop the inverter. I'm not sure if that is `because of the "update" or not. I'm keep monitoring but that is...

You mean this one? Have you tried CAN yet?

My Ev can supply V2L 2kW (on paper) however I saw tests with 7kW load when it tripped. I presume they using the same hardware which is the AC charger, which is 6.6kW max. In addition, our domestic load is barely passing 5kW at any part of the day, and definitely not passing my inverter maximum...

Sorry, I forgot to mention my EV supports V2L, up to 2kW (on paper), so I have 230V output from the charge port.

Yeah, that might be slightly different. I was told to not use USB for monitoring, especially when other power source attached to the board, as the USB also supplies 5V to the board and that could cause issue... I doubt about that. I'm using WiFi since I realized the WiFi is on (first post) but...

Another FW upgrade, lockups are still present...

Hmm... they are not fast... One thing for sure, I'll not going to get further Batrium for a while.

Quick update, the system is up and running, about for a month now. Creepy part of the year, so the result is pretty modest. Still looks promising. 7kWh on a cloudy day, 15kWh on a sunny day. I managed to capture most of it, however I already got a 24kWh Nissan Leaf battery pack to reconfigure...

I have a rather practical question, I have my PV+Hybrid inverter+battery setup and I was wondering where would be the best to connect the EV to supply power to the system. My inverter (DEYE sun 8k) has configurable generator input, so I thought that would be the best to connect the EV as...

Hi, I just commissioned my grid tied PV system with a DIY battery pack (Nissan Leaf Gen2) with Batrium BMS, including 500A shunt and 7 LeafMon unit. I learned the hard way, Batrium is not communicating with my Sungrow SH5K-30 inverter via CAN bus, so I'm disappointed anyway (Project Lychee...

My watchmon still stops randomly, even though, some weird stuff going on. Today morning when I re-started I realized the board still communicates via WiFi, however that function is disabled.

Hmm.. I guess your experience will help me determine whether I want a replacement or a refund in case I decide about the return.

I have the same inverter for a year now, and I also have a similar panel positioning. NE 14 panels and SW 6 panels. What I found interesting, one MPPT is only goes up to 20A, regardless. I have 440W Jinko panels, and I ended up to connect 8 of the 14 to MPPT1 and the rest of them to MPPT2 with...
