    Faulty Renogy Battery? (different discharge rates paralleled batteries)

    do you have the positive to load from one battery and the negative to load from the other battery? that's all I have to offer.

    What's better, lots of small Lithium Batteries or a few large Lithium batteries?

    I would go for the 2 x 24/100ah if at all possible. Reason being keeping the 28 batteries balanced could be an issue, more chances of a defective battery, and you don't have to deal with a Battery mgmt system (BMS). I do know what its like getting supplies to islands and that sucks. Keep...

    40amp mppt, battery max charge current 30amp - A problem?

    If you have the panels in series, you'll have 40v 10amps. I'm still a learning this stuff but I don't think you will have any issues at all.

    Epever battery settings. Bluetooth app?

    yes, mine does not do that, it stays at boost till turns off charge when it thinks batteries are full. And since there is 20+ amps coming in it thinks its fully charged when its really only 70-80%. I don't understand

    Epever battery settings. Bluetooth app?

    I was wondering how you are making out with your scc settings. I have the epever also and the amps stay to the max (30) until the batteries reach 27.5 (under Charge) then cuts off all charging until it goes down to 26.5 (no Charge, a little load, 50 watts). I thought the amps should go down...

    Automatic Transfer Switches

    If only money was no problem and I did not already have a charger and inverter.

    Automatic Transfer Switches

    Hi Dynoman. I have the Moes ats but fear it could fry another inverter, I am interested in doing what you suggested with the contactor. Does that work in conjunction with the Moes or how does it switch power source according to battery voltage?

    Open Ground when testing outlets on inverter

    Got it. I contacted them also and they responded. But Their wording was a little ambiguous. "do not use yellow(ground) wire, if house neutral is connected to ground connect black neutral with it". The house neutral is connected to ground at the house main panel so I take it to mean connect...

    Open Ground when testing outlets on inverter

    Thanks for your response. One thing I'm not sure is . the yellow (ground ) is connected to the chassis of the inverter, so bonding the black(neutral) to yellow the same as bonding neutral to ground at the inverter? What is the part about the blue wire inside the inverter? My neutrals are not...

    Open Ground when testing outlets on inverter

    Hello. I have the same issue with the open ground, same 3k reliable inverter, (2nd inverter). ( I am using a auto transfer switch and tying all grounds together, house and inverter.) I think I ruined the 1st 1 because I bonded the neutral to a house main panel ground which gave me a grounded...

    Programmable ATS with Battery Priority

    Also Do you connect the grnd of the inverter to the grnd of the grid. I'm thinking of grounding all 3 circuit grnds to 1 bus bar which goes back to grid.
