That's when I jamb on the breaks especially where simple emails go unanswered. There's the actual company and obviously the paid appeasers on FB.

Interesting. 6 weeks lead time for an "in-stock" item. Glad you got them.

Exactly. I live on the darker side of the internet that won't touch Face-steal all your data-book with a barge pole.

That's exactly what I feared. I'll give this until Monday and then I'll be canceling. There is absolutely no reason to lie when you don't have something other than you think you can profit sitting on other peoples money. Fk that. Not responding to email speaks volumes. Thanks for your...

I placed an order for 4 12V 200AH SOK batteries almost 2 weeks ago when Will posted a YT video saying they were in stock. I got an email saying they got my order and almost two weeks has gone by and absolute silence. I emailed sales@sokbattery.com and got no response at all. This is beyond...

Nothing you've said surprises me. I'm done with them. Like you I have adjusted to the deficiencies of their battery and the surge suppressor and moved on with my life with workable workarounds. I'll be adding extra battery capacity DIY and avoiding the premium that this company doesn't deserve...

When the inverter shuts down the caps eventually discharge. Hitting the on button puts you back to square one again. If it shutdown for low battery hitting the on button will just put you in a loop of low battery, shutoff, restart, BMS shutdown. The only way to break that loop is to disconnect...

The inverter is permanently connected to the batteries. There are times when the inverter turns off, like this Monday, when Solark updated the firmware. Or when there are multiple days without sun and I have to turn the inverter off so as not to run the batteries down to shutoff, or days when...

Without going into too many gory details: How have I worked around this problem? When the sun comes up the Solark starts up without drama and I can reconnect the batteries. Just never let the batteries run down low enough for the inverter to shutdown otherwise a restart with the batteries is a...

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the offer and the comment on my password issues thread. I have moved on, life is way too short. I have reconciled myself with taking the loss on the Growatt. It is still mounted on the wall next to the Solark but is disconnected from everything. I'll just use...

Hi Damian, Not good news I'm afraid. I was sent this Growatt as a guaranteed to work replacement for two prior MPPSolar LV5048's that did not work at all out of the box. The first strike was trying to setup the online monitoring software for the thing which in my own honest estimation their...

Lease, no flippin way. The moment they get that stuff on your property then they get to dictate to you what you can and cannot do with your roof if it's rooftop installation. No thanks.

Thanks! I was looking for something that specifically says that is supports lithium batteries, however, don't judge, I totally forgot that Battleborn had sent me a charger back in March when I bought a kit of 6 batteries and other components from them. I've been so focused on getting everything...

I just called the company and they recommend charging the batteries to 14.4 volts before using them in a string for 48V. Can you recommend a good charger? My brand new never used Black & Decker 6A charger is DOA. Thanks! Vince

I don't know where to begin other than to express my frustration at how bad this software is. After going through many hoops to get the Growatt Wifi Dongle to work, I went to their online server, you know, the one that is called out in their server setup in the app, and lo and behold the first...
