Lithium NMCGreat Thread
I am on course to ordering my XW Pro in the next couple of days
the PDP should arrive latter this week or early next week
I have to remove all my existing inverter, MPPT 60s and the conduit and the older Balance of System parts that I got back 2000 with my original Trace SW 4024:
So, I am researching my XW Pro settings that I will use once operational.
I have 60 kwh of Tesla Model S batteries - 12 of them at the moment. They have a different voltage range (36.0 empty to 50.4 full) and the XW Pro has a similar LBCO as the old Trace and my current inverter a Xantrex 5548. I have put together the following table to try to see patterns others have done and my charging profile.
I charge my batteries totally with the MPPT 60 charge controllers, 4 of them. I do not use the grid to charge, only pass through when needed as the solar charges the battery
I am requesting
@400bird ,
@GXMnow and others if they would, to fill in the blanks of their respective battery information for the table.
Thanks

the XW Pro HBCO minimum is 58 v - way above the Tesla maximum. Needless to say my external Battery Controller will disconnect at 50.4
I still am pondering what my Grid Support value should be, as I don't fully understand it
I also will NOT be exporting to the grid, at least not at this time
I do rely on the AC1 doing bypass once LBCO occurs, thus allowing solar to recharge the battery.
The XW Pro charger will be disabled, but I want the parameters to fit my battery for those times when manual charging might need to occur (lots of rain, clouds and snow - I had half the month last Dec on AC backup)
thanks in advance
