Damn. That’s almost 200 less than I paid. Nice!

Update that should be helpful.
It accepted generator input with no issues. The transfer was so quick you couldn't notice until the lights started flickering from the dirty generator power.
Using a generac 5500w that is around 5 years old, charging at 75a
I knew batteries wouldn't make it through the night. I never tested the generator, it hasn't ran in a few months and didn't want to pull from the grid ?.
I see a chargeverter in my future, I have to many other open projects open or I'd build my own (I have a separate thread with lots of great info, thanks to awesome members, on building one).
I did notice it was bouncing back and forth between generator and batteries (could hear relays clicking) until I figured out all the settings / got them right. I'll write down what I did next time.
It was so much easier than the last time I used the generator with the TP6048.
After today I'm quickly realizing I likely won't make it through winter with ~9.3kw of panels and ~39kwh of battery ?, might have to get a small ESE array up before the snow flys.

Can the unit work with just 1 of these batteries or is it recommended to have at least 2 of these batteries on this unit?

Very interesting. TP6048 really isn't standing a chance against srne asf48100u200 at this point it seems like.

That's going to come down to runtime your wanting from the battery more than anything else. If your wanting to tax the inverter out power wise your going to need about 3 of them to do much.
If you don't load it down a single battery will run for good amount of time. It just depends on what your wanting from it.

It will work with one but you'll be limited in what you can run due to the BMS.
Edit - and runtime as @Crowz pointed out.
Yea, don't get me wrong the TP6048 wasn't a bad unit and worked great for what it is but the SRNE is leaps and bounds above it so far.
I will have a LF schneider for my lifetime system when I find land and go completely off the grid. I was nervous about the HF myself but considered the Midnite Rosie and Lux Power are a HF architecture as well. So far it's handled the well pump and air compressor way better than the TP6048.
I feel the fact Midnite DIY series is an SRNE and the fact SGP is using them now says a lot...
Another handy feature I discovered the display stays in the last menu option / setting you were on by default, very handy imo. Iirc the TP6048 didn't do this.
Yep the tp6048 didn't stay on what your set default but at least it had option to change it to stay on the last thing you set it to. Would of drove me nuts otherwise. I haven't had any blinking on the washing machine agitating like you did. I plugged the washing machine into the tp6048's circuit to test it and see after you had mentioned that. Didn't leave it that way since I only have 1 battery and its going on the next aio I go with eventually but it did work without flickering though.
The only time we ever noticed anything was when a window ac compressor kicks in the lights would kind of dim a second. The heatpumps are unnoticeable when they run.

Exact same reservations as I have, my plan is going to be to do what 42OhmsPA mentioned in another thread. I am going to split my panel mostly across two subpanels and put a Sungold SPH10K48SP feeding each sub independently so distribute load and since I can't parallel, that's the plan as of now, I've still got to work out how I am going to do the battery setup. As of now the inverts are in the garage and I plan to pass through the block wall and put the Sungold SG48100M's on the exterior of the house. I just don't want the lithium in the house as my kids play in the garage and stuff and I just don't trust Chinese lithium phosphate at this point. I know. The SG48100M's are IP65 and without tax and free shipping I can get more kwH than my original plan of using the EG4 PowerPro WallMount https://signaturesolar.com/uncert-eg4-powerpro-14kwh-all-weather-lithium-solar-battery-wallmount/
The batts would be to the left of the meter here on my splits wall.
I’m the biggest LF proponent but at that end of the day I could buy 4 of these for 1 schneider set up.
But mine is blue so that when I add Victron later it matches lmao

Let me know how you want the tests done and I'll come up with something.
Should be as simple as checking for continuity between ground and neutral on ac out. Someone earlier mentioned it may switch when in battery only mode. You can also check for voltage between ground and neutral. It's not a big deal, I can figure it out once it's in front of me but I'd appreciate the info. Did you swap your battery cables for 2/0? Seems like it might be a tight squeeze. Thanks again for the info
42OhmsPA
What's in a title?
Next time I shut it down I can test.
Will the tests work while it's running? (I don't think so based on what I read previously)
I did not swap for 2/0 but will be soon enough.
You should be able to do it while it's running by putting your leads on the terminal screws.

It's on my list of things to do tomorrow.
I did find some previous readings here if they are any help, likely won't be without checking continuity.
5 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.
Was really anxious to see how it did with a solid load. Thanks for working on this so quickly! One Amazon review said there’s would shut down with far less load than you’re showing here so that’s encouraging So far I'm impressed. It handled a second dryer cycle no problem. Over the next few...

His electrical panel is bonded so the output is going to read that if it's not disconnected.

Thanks. I'll be taking it offline to swap the batteries to the new rack so I can verify then. (I think I said that last week...)

Yea I think you can verify the NG or lack or NG bond within the inverter after you disconnect AC out, since you're not using any AC in right?
42OhmsPA
What's in a title?
AC in is wired up but hasn't been turned back on since initial programming, I can isolate the N and G easy enough with a few turns of the #2 square drive.
this is the issue. lots of variables here. but as i said, someone mentioned earlier that it may switch when in battery only mode. 11v between N and G means something is going on somewhere

Still can't believe these inverter manufacturers don't address this in their manuals......
Edit: it's in the manual

Just went back down to check some voltages.
Continuity between N and G on the grid input panel, this makes sense since the bond happens at the disconnect on the other side of the house. 0V since the mains breaker is off.
Inverter out / downstairs loads panel. Minimal load ~400w.
10.x V between N and G
120.x V between L1 and N
120.x V between L2 and N
110.x V between L1 and G
130.x V between L2 and G
All voltages were stable.
This has me really confused and is above my level of expertise, I'll glady learn and test things... The 10.x V between N and G makes up the differences L1, L2 and G....
I'm thinking this has something to due with the house wiring... Back when I was running the TP6048 I noticed the LED bulb (fed from upstairs panel) above the washer and dryer would be very dim at night, dimmer than a night light. This isn't the case with the SRNE, that light is off.
I'll pull the cover off the upstairs panel tomorrow and start probing.
I need to get some sleep so I wake up by the 3rd alarm...
Please leave me a list of items to check and I'll dive into them tomorrow after work.

The bonding relay can be controlled through the settings menu. That can be confirmed with a continuity test of AC output on the inverter while disconnected.
