Where is the monitoring page?

good point! Never thought of that understood. So bottom balancing would be am idea or not?

My 3rd esp32 is the same.

That looks good. The obvious answer is that in order to charge faster, you need to remove loads. Not sure why you are missing 4400 watts from PV, tho in my experience my ratio is about the same at 10:30 am Is this a new system? Added PV? At noon and on an abnormally sunny and clear day I...

I have been down the same road you have. For a time I was using Renogy batteries, Renogy inverter/charger, Renogy Core One, Renogy bluetooth adapters and Renogy Solar panels. Lets see here. The solar panels are great, Never had a failure or issue in 3 years and counting. The inverter worked...

Have you tries small loads? like 500 watts? I am interested in this.

So keep in mind, even with the reduced currents, you would still want to wire it with 1 awg or 1/0 on the battery. This is so you do not need to buy wire twice or run into trouble in the future after expansion or forgetting about not upgrading the wire.

It probably;y was waiting for a gain of 10% SOC before going back to normal. This way it wont be triggered every 5 minutes on a cloudy day.

Yes, this happens EVERY time you are AC charging. no matter how. (with the 6000xp anyway.)

I am in the group. I have verified my beta firmware and I still do not have the power tab.

Renogy is not second.... They suck horribly. They dont build anything at all. They send low bid offers to the shittiest of china manufactures and have them build something.

Yes, 16 series cells. There is a lot of shorthand around here. Feel free to ask, just as you did.

it was $110 last week

I really wonder why it didnt!?

Yes, I added a ground bar and checked continuity. I did not scrape paint tho I tested against a removed knockouts hole. All seemed fine.

BAD

Isnt that fun! I mean , thats next level gaslighting or something extra fancy!

We need all the info you can give us to help you. From the little info you wrote my response is: Of course the voltage will drop. Voltage in relation to SOC could be a calibration issue. Is this a DIY battery? Is this a server rack battery? What model is your BMS? What wattage is a...

Must be on the same network name. I would try an Ethernet connected computer. Phones have a hard time with ip addresses in my experience. Are you trying on a phone?

How so? If you understand how each of them do what they do, there is NO discussion.

This could be a factor for sure!

Nicely put!

It may have had a stroke and lost its memory from the vacation. Chirping is just it letting you know something isnt right. No idea why its acting like that. Its a great BMS

I have the same graph in SA I do not have a battery temp sensor connected to SA. NONE I do not have smart batteries. I am wondering where this info is coming from for you and for me !?! Mine is less ghastly tho. But I guess its worth mentioning that ambient temps of install location were...

Love the way you put that!! Now i need more panels.

60% at least

No, nothing special in the URL. Are you sure your esp32 is connected to wifi? It was never terribly clear to me that mine was connected when I was using the esp32 access point. I didnt know until i looked in the router logs

Did you hit the Zero current calibration button accidentally?? :) I have.

Untested, incomplete, placeholder, ect

I was pulling in 56 watts for a couple minutes.

Ok, I am thinking the burning wires affected the output, not the diode. It is my understanding that the diode is only there to prevent your battery from sending power to the panels when the sun isnt shining. I could be wrong.

Good sparks or bad sparks? Make good sparky or bad sparky.

It must not be working. In the GUI version Im charging at 50 amps currently. if I put in 20 it stops charging If I put in 2 it stops if i put in 80 it stops. If I populate both setpoints with corresponding values, it stops charging I have tried decimals but it wont save. No clue over here...

Im sure its a 6000xp thing. There is no "mode" on the 6000xp, No solar first, battery first, no UPS mode.... Its all set with voltages or SOC. But if you have any battery besides a handful of supported ones, you are forced to use lead acid mode. The SOC percentage in the 5 months I have...

Do you mean connecting input and output of bms as the short or connecting v+ to one of the sides?

That may be the issue. It was slow and janky when using it as an AP and adjusting settings. Perhaps it can do only one or the other.

I have a victron SCC and an AIMs toroidal based inverter. I was under the impression that switch mode inverters were more efficient. What do you recommend for an efficient setup?

There are no selectable modes on the 6000xp. All modes are automatic based on voltage setpoints in settings. To get bypass off, your battery On Grid EOD value must be 3v lower than your current battery voltage, or 10% SOC lower than your battery depending on what you are using.

Funny you should say this, I just ran an energy audit on mine yesterday, Got almost the same numbers ~1kWh and 2H 10M. What are the chances of this? lol

The manual is poor but it has what you are looking for. You need a minimum of 120 volts of PV to wake up the charger. Did you set your float voltage? what did you set your charge voltage too?

You are so kind. I appreciate that you responded twice in a single day. That says a lot. By the way, This is day 3 for me with the 6000xp. Definitely enjoying it. I noticed someting strange on the 19th. This was the only sunny day out of the 3 that I have had this inverter with solar input. I...

I think the surge threshold characteristics change on grid vs off. For instance, On grid while battery connected, it might switch over at 95%. While on battery with no grid connected (no back up) it may "try harder" and go to 110% On my single Xp, I dont think it likes more than 300 watts...

Then it would be rated to 300v? Correct? In that picture, how would a person wire that correctly given it has positive and negative clearly marked? I know that dc is directional and having the arc snuffing bits going in the right direction is critical, but how is this intuitive?

Right on! But I certainly shy away from pressure contact based fuses and holders. Do you think Im overreacting?

That is the best way to make this work. You could By one 6000xp and a hybrid inverter and make the hybrid inverter be the second one. Unfortunately hybrid inverters are even more expensive.

Awe..it puked

Also what is the output of your generator and how much of it were you using to charge? How many watts.

Thanks for the link!

Nice to see ya! Thanks for demonstrating this. When you find out when the rest of the inverter turns off, find out if solar wakes it up with NO grid. In case you want something else to do :)
