  • BMW battery production, interesting detail on foam spacer

    I thought it was interesting that the foam spacer tape does not cover the entire side of the battery cell but only the top and the bottom I suppose that is to allow compression at the edges while allowing some expansion in the bellies.
  • Extending house circuits to sub panel

    Hello, I have a dual xw+ 5548 system, with batteries, in the shed out back. I plan to connect this to a transfer switch, which would then feed my house, through a subpanel. Currently, the circuit wires land in the main panel. I want to move them to a subpanel, about 15ft away. I think the wires...
  • Stack xw+ 5548 and 6848?

    I own a conext xw+ 5548. I have the opportunity to buy an xw+ 6848. The determining factor is if I can stack these units to provide ~12kw of 240v split phase. I think I've heard that conext doesn't allow stacking with xw+ anymore. Can someone knowledgeable in the ways of schneider/Conext...
  • Conext mppt 80 600 trips battery breaker

    I bought a used mppt 80 600. When I hook it up to battery power using a 30 amp dc rated circuit breaker the breaker trips immediately when I turn it on. There is no continuity between the positive and negative battery input terminals on the charge controller. I also noticed there's a missing...
  • 2s2p2p solar configuration?

    Hello, I have 8x 230w panels, 48voc, 40vmp. 6amp isc, roughly. Charge controller is outback fm80. Battery bank is 48v LiFePo. I am planning to run sets of 2 panels in series to bring vmp up to 80v. 2s I would parallel these 4x pairs of seriesed panels using 2-1 male/female mc4 couplers...
  • Put grid power into gen port of conext xw+ 5548

    Hello I have a dual xw plus system in my solar shed on the back porch . My house is connected to the grid but I have a solar shed out back that is off grid. I plan to run AC out from the shed to a transfer switch that will feed a sub panel on my house. My intention is to run my home from my...
  • EG4 lifepower communication with Conext XW 5548 NA

    I have 4x 24v 200ah lifepower batteries. Was running a magnum ms2024, but now I've got a conext XW 5548 NA. I've reconfigured the battery cables for series/parallel (2s2p), to achieve 48v nominal on the bank. When the batteries were on 24v nominal, I was able to read their status using the...
  • (Price reduced: $1000) Trace 4024 inverter with serial cable, 250a disconnect

    Trace 4024 inverter with serial cable to allow stacking. Solid unit, upgrading for more output. Includes 250a dc breaker in trace disconnect panel. Looking for $1,000 for the lot, plus shipping. Currently located in redway, CA 95560
  • Eg4 24v lifepower batteries in series, questions

    @Markus_SignatureSolar What are the recommended and max charge and discharge currents for paired 24v lifepowers? How to handle communications? What happens if one of the 24v units faults out and exposes its partner to 48v from the other pair? Recommend to disassemble series-pair and...
  • Split wire circuit with conext xw plus inverter

    I want to wire a 120vac outlet so that each receptacle Is fed from a different leg, with a shared neutral. I know that Inverters do not allow for this configuration, but I'm unsure if my Conext xw+ 5548 would permit this wiring configuration. I've done a preliminary search online and have been...
  • Posts for near vertical array

    I'm planning to set up a new array specifically angled for winter. the panels are going to be pretty steep; most of the array can be lagged into the side of my house but about 10 ft or 15 ft of the array will extend past the edge of my house. to support the rails in this section I'm planning to...
