    Champion home standby generator off grid 2 wire start instructions.

    Thanks for sharing this. I tried it but the 120 volt circuit is tripping the GFCI I have it connected to, which makes me nervous. Did you get the battery charger working as described?

    Salt silicate batteries continue charging at 100%

    Thanks for the earlier replies! Another odd incident today; when a load was turned on that reduced the charging current to the silicate batteries, the battery SoC suddenly jumped from 85% to 100%, but the battery kept absorbing plenty of power after that point (up until PV input stopped for the...

    Salt silicate batteries continue charging at 100%

    I should clarify, it was still charging at 58.8 V. I also would have expected it to switch to float charging (55.2 V) by now too. Is the inverter monitoring the current the battery is absorbing and waiting for it to decline below a certain level? Or does it stop charging every so often so it...

    Salt silicate batteries continue charging at 100%

    I have an offgrid Deye 8K inverter with 8x 12v 250AH salt silicate batteries in a 4S2P configuration (48V, 24kWh). I have grid (gen) charge enabled to 99%, but the batteries have hit 100% and are still charging, albeit slowly (starts near 2kW and I took this screenshot about 1.25 hrs later at...
