    I use Senville units - available from their website or on Amazon, rock solid units, with good seer ratings.
  • Post in thread: Multiple Inverters with one battery bank

    Thanks, that's what I thought, I tend to over-think things so I thought I would ask the experts here. P.S. That EG4 is chugging along and running my entire cooling load, we have had a couple of 85+ degree days and this thing handles all 4 of these mini-splits without an issue, the 220v units...
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 3000 24v issues

    I find that hard to fathom, since I have the unit set to charge from both solar-util simultaneously, my observation last night was that after solar was gone, the charger on the unit came on and charged up to the setting on #13 and then switched the loads back to battery. I am going to reach out...

    See picture above solar3.jpg, it clearly states that it can with that setting? and per the user manual. and of course if I had read the line below it, only SOLAR when in battery mode! :( Line-Standby-Fault are the conditions that allow it to charge at the same time. So setting 19-20 are...
  • Post in thread: Multiple Inverters with one battery bank

    I don't have the battery coms hooked up to one another, nor will I in the future I believe, I limit my charge current on the victron to 30amps and the same limitation on the EG4, the victron could pull in theory 73 amps from the battery bank at a full 3500watt load. The EG4 could pull the same...

    So when using SBU mode I would want to set #13 to my max charging voltage, because in the SBU mode setting 19-20 will never occur unless I have more solar and less load?
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 3000 24v issues

    21 is set to 23v and not 25v, option 12 is set to 25v but I want to set it to 26 for some testing and it wont let me do this. This is where the confusion comes in, setting 12 to 25 triggers the system to transfer to grid, in addition it charges my battery when this happens, so then what the...
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 3000 24v issues

    Update: I changed setting # 13 to 28v and setting #12 to 24.8v. Once it reached 24.6v even though I had a bit of solar it switched to the grid and charged it to the setting on #13 which was 28v. But again, I have no idea why it is not charging to the float or absorption rate of 28.8v that I...

    Can you define what this means and when these modes occur? Under battery settings I have it set to charge with Solar and Utility at the same time, however I noticed this morning that while the battery was charging with utility power, the solar kicked in and at about 25.7v on the battery the...
  • Post in thread: DIY with cheap Redodo

    Riddle me this, Buy 2 Redodo 12v 100ah batteries for $299 each including shipping, rip them apart, balance the cells and build a diy 24v unit with a new BMS $130 w bluetooth, cheaper than buying the cells from the grey market and building one diy. Or get 2 12v 200ah and do the same, still...
  • Post in thread: DIY with cheap Redodo

    My thinking exactly, going this route would be cheaper than buying from ALI or some other distributor, no shipping fees, etc. No warranty either, but the warranty is only as good as the company behind it, so I have no hopes that if one of these batteries fails that the company would honor the...
  • Post in thread: Multiple Inverters with one battery bank

    Here is my situation Victron Multiplus II 48v 5000va unit running 120v critical loads, cerbo GX, using ESS and keeping the batteries fully charged. EG4 6000XP 48v unit running 3-220v mini splits and one 120v mini split. SBU setting as close as I can get. One 48v battery bank consisting of 1...
