    How to top balance Coolithium LiFePo4 batteries with Growatt SPF5000 ES?

    Wow! So much more than I could ask for! Thank you for the knowledge and your time for writing this up. I will do thing as per your suggestions and will set things up so I have the batteries almost fully charged, then I will set the inverter to manual mode and bypass grid power so battery is not...

    How to top balance Coolithium LiFePo4 batteries with Growatt SPF5000 ES?

    I have 3 Coolithium 48V 200Ah (15S) batteries. I have BMS communication set up wit Growatt SPF5000ES. The charge voltage is set to 53.2V by default by the BMS (?) and I cannot change it in the inverter's interface. I guess it is controlled by the BMS. 53.2V is 3.546...V per cell. First...

    Growatt 5000 SPF ES - Back to grid for no reason?

    That spike is due to switching over to grid power. My grid voltage is around ~240V while inverter output voltage is 230V. So I don't see anything out of the ordinary here and according to the manual it should cause no issues unless the grid voltage is above ~260V. Also I assume if over voltage...

    Growatt 5000 SPF ES - Back to grid for no reason?

    An interesting find is that it seems like the switchover happened just as the sun was coming up and PV voltage reached around 100V.

    Growatt 5000 SPF ES - Back to grid for no reason?

    Hi, thanks for your reply :) I don't see any error like that not in the mobile interface nor the web interface. Also It is highly unlikely as it was in the early morning. My load was around 100W so ~2%. and temperature is a steady 18 degree Celsius, so it shouldn't be an issue. Although even it...

    Growatt 5000 SPF ES - Back to grid for no reason?

    This morning at around 6am my growatt 5000 SPF ES for no apparent reason transferred to grid power. Battery was at ~64%. Settings are: AC output: SBU mode Charging: Solar only Back to AC: 30% SOC Back to battery 40% SOC Undervoltage cut off point: 20% Battery Type: Li (protocol 55) 3x 48V...

    Growatt SPF 5000 ES - Error 52

    Hi, I see this is an older post. Im in the same boat. I'm wondering what the resolution was in your case. Here is mine: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/lifepo4-battery-drops-from-22-to-0.64445/

    LiFePo4 Battery drops from 22% to 0%

    That literally is what is happening. Once i connected the BMS communication successfully, all the voltage values on the inverter changed to % values and from then the battery controls the charging through the inverter and the inverter only shows %. I got the values from the interface though...

    LiFePo4 Battery drops from 22% to 0%

    Controlled by the BMS. Does it matter in this case?

    LiFePo4 Battery drops from 22% to 0%

    Funny enough... it got charged to 100% just yesterday or the day before that rather... I do have AC grid connected. System voltage is 48V Coolithium LiFePo4 battery s15 My setup with BMS is: Low voltage disconnect (setting 21) is 10%. Switch over to grid (setting 12) is 20% Switch back to...

    LiFePo4 Battery drops from 22% to 0%

    I do have BMS. Connection is up between the battery and the inverter.
