Upper management sucks....lol. I have 58 employed and can not leave until the job is done. I had to do 13 hours yesterday. I went to 2 places to get cables and Anderson connectors for the new cables on my lunch yesterday. I got copper 3/8 ends but could not get Anderson connectors. Today i was supposed to be off at 3 but had to stay till 5:30. On my lunch today i went to a few more places with no success. Tomorrow i do not go in till 11am. I am going to get up early and will post a video. . I will search and find local.Does the OP @randerson NOT realize that my 12 hour shift ends at noon (CDT) ... I had already laid out my detailed drinking schedule to coincide with drinking good beer with the steak fajitas these guys cook up every Friday afternoon out here ...
This is going to royally piss me off if the OP does not get us an update ...
Holy Cow - how long does it take just to slap some larger cables on an Anderson connector and prove me right ... ??!!! THIS is not helping me with my Anger Management issues that "may" have been one of the reasons they transferred me from LA to the desert SW .... But honestly - we set through 5 1/2 minutes of "switch on - switch off - switch on - switch off" .. we deserve an answer !!
Single malt scotch or after dinner brandy and a cigar here... never beer.AAAGGHHH - at this point I have switched from Beer to Bourbon ... and this is Thanks we get after 5 1/2 minutes of clicking ...
I have it set up to do single phase 110, not 220 split phase yet, and i have ZERO LOAD. As long as it gets 48v it does not care how many amp hour i have. Amp hours are run time and Volts are power. The 200 amp hours are recommended so the inverter last at full power more than ten minutes before going dead. It is just giving you a heads up that at full power it will be an amp hog. More batteries will be added later.... dang they are expensive so it will take a little time (unless you want to send me some for free).From the manual, the OP has a 5kW inverter (10kW surge) that recommends at least a 200Ah battery bank and 1/0 AWG cable that can handle the 220A. The OP connected a 79Ah battery with 6 AWG cable and a 60A (65A) BMS (depending on BMS label or BYD site).

YES , I know i can order them cheap online.... BUT THE WAIT SUCKS.....
14 hour days don't give me much free time.
look for an update before noon tomorrow
we will about double the size of the wire tomorrow and prove them wrong.WAIT !! are you working tomorrow?? R U doing anything right now ?? We (ok I) all know its just the cables -- just swap out the cables and tell everyone that a certain RF goddess was correct ... seriously - If i had known you needed cable or Anderson connectors I would have FedEx overnight them to you ... I can't believe I stayed sober for this ... Its Friday night in the middle of the Texas desert -- THIS was going to be my entertainment for the evening ... Now its going to be either Netflix bingeing - or playing Dominoes - or playing cards -- aaagghhh ...![]()
Doesn't matter. You gotta fill them caps up whether you have a load or not. If it's the cable, I owe you a scotch. Will a Talisker 10 do?I have it set up to do single phase 110, not 220 split phase yet, and i have ZERO LOAD.

So probably not important at this juncture but just so you know for the future -- this is a difference between 8AWG Aluminum Clad (which is what i think you have) and 8AWG copper or copper stranded ... of course if you are pushing 54 volts through any 8AWG cable - with the distance you are going - then you are fine ... BUT if you are ever setting up longer runs and the chart calls for 8AWG - thats normally 8AWG copper which is really like 6AWG Aluminum Clad (don't quote me - just making a point) ...
Maybe I can't see the pic clearly enough but it seems the new wire is 6AWG.... but I'm half blind so what do I know.

I got up at 3 A.M. just for this... and still no video!!... I am going to get up early and will post a video....
ten minutes before going dead.
$20.
That its the BMS shuting down because of the inrush current.
Actually it’s a six pack of beer, bottle of scotch, and $40 if the cable fixes it. Pretty good pot. Sadly nothing has been put up by the other side.Actually it is the Breaker (battery switch) that shuts it down at 63 amps but I'll add to that bet.. so, it is now $40 if a larger wire fixes this issue. LOL
How about this, back yard mechanics 101, 4 car batteries, jumper cables, hook up in series, it will tell you if it is mpp, or the battery.
IT IS NOT THE MPP it is most likely the BMS try and bypass it. Just to test.
Unfortunately you are fixated on one part of a post (200Ah) that isn't the main gist. The point is that you need a battery bank capable of supplying enough current to fill the inverter capacitors. Your battery bank can't do it because it's limited to 60A or 63A (depending on whether we believe the label on the BMS or the battery listing, it's the BMS or the breaker that's limiting you). It's not the Ah rating of the battery that's at issue. It's the fact that it can't deliver more than 60ish amps before cutting off.
