The alarm was "Battery name fail" so it seems the can bus checks if the battery really is a pythontech or not.@Oldman2 don't forget Pylontech batteries only use 15 cells so runs at a slightly lower voltage, Fogstar uses 16 cells, hence you may get an over voltage warning depending on how things work.

It's no big deal though... your customer can just set the Solis to UserDefined battery type and it should just work with a more generic CANBus protocol from the Pace BMS.We can update the BMS via RS232 and talk customers through it no problem. CAN communication works - just obviously need to solve the battname fail issue, unless users use the user defined battery parameters that we provide. I'll talk to pace about the update.

Re your questions......
I cant find ForceCharge SOC either in user defined settings or elsewhere.
Why would you set discharge depth 80% then overdischarge SOC to 20%? thats the same isnt it?
I would set overdischarge SOC to 15% and if I could find it I would set ForceCharge SOC to 10%
Sorry but thats not what happens on my model, I altered 1 setting and saved hoping to see the missing setting like it does on the hybrid but all I got was "done" and return to menu.Can confirm Force Charge appears after parameters are entered on the next screen.
Hi Mike,@Ben@Fogstar Hmm.. I found my Frogstar server rack battery had turned itself off overnight with 20% capacity.
2 alarms from the Solis, no can bus and no battery.
I pressed the silver start button and the battery booted up, the alarm stopped and then the Solis started battery charging from the grid. I checked a few settings on the Solis display and the charging stopped.
Why would the battery turn itself off?
This is a Solis RAI-3.0KW 48ES 5G AC Coupled Inverter info and all the battery settings are from my list post yesterday, thanks.Hi Mike,
Sent you software and instructions to disable sleep option via email. Let me know exact model of inverter so I can do some fault finding re the force charging!
No harm in asking but given their already very competitive pricing for what is a quality product I doubt you will get any further discounts. There's a pre paid waiting list and people would get annoyed if discounts were now given. Give to one, they all want and Ben's inbox would over flow.Hi Ben @ Fogstar
I live in the uk and am researching all my options for either a 15kva or 30kva battery option.
Might you have a promo code to pm me ???
One thing that I hold up most with any purchase is after sales care
I note you dont have a contact number on your web page, so is the only contact via email ??

@Urge38 Ben's not going to get notified as you've not tagged him correctly.
Its very easy to find a phone number for Fogstar, Google is your friend![]()
I notice that problem with tagging Ben too - I'll mention that to admin.@Urge38 If you look at you're post, Ben's username was not high lighted blue, as you had a space after Ben and before Fogstar, thus the system didn't pick it up as a username, although with an @ sign in his name I think it can cause complications, it doesn't appear in the drop down list.
I've never tested it - but looks like a normal RS485, and we support the baud rate. Should be no problem at all.@Ben@Fogstar
Hi Ben
I am interested to know if your bms is capable of communicating with a Schneider inverter like there Conect XW
