Bms didn't shut down. Inverter went into that grid over protection switch. mode. forget the name. I'm up over 30kwh nowYou need a bigger battery pack ?
YesYou pulled ~225a off a 35% battery and the inverter didn’t mind?

That’s awesome!Bms didn't shut down. Inverter went into that grid over protection switch. mode. forget the name.
Yes
Same, not/never enabled and didn't know it existed til pointed out by @42OhmsPAIt has the option to sell excess loads to the grid, I've never turned it on. I've had zero issues with it disabled. I am not aware of any external CT.

How does the anti backflow work if there are no ct's?It has the option to sell excess loads to the grid, I've never turned it on. I've had zero issues with it disabled. I am not aware of any external CT.

It most likely does not. Don't think any of us have tested this, howeverHow does the anti backflow work if there are no ct's?
If I remember right all of your packs are made up of different parts right? So wouldn't the soc vary from that?I'm throwing in the towel on getting SOC to match....
Just going to keep running it...

That's pretty much where I am as well this SOC stuff is kinda nebulous...I'm throwing in the towel on getting SOC to match....

2 packs are 230ah cellsIf I remember right all of your packs are made up of different parts right? So wouldn't the soc vary from that?
I run 3 280's and one battery comprised of 304's. One of the 280's is half 280K and the other half 280N. Top 2 batteries are 280N's.If I remember right all of your packs are made up of different parts right? So wouldn't the soc vary from that?
I'm definitely using one big main busbar on my next expansion.I do run all cables to busbars down the sides of the cabinet all the same length. I run a nickel plated busbar down each side that I plated myself comprised 1/4" x 1.25" copper.
Go look at my latest video, I purchased another big box last week. This one is slightly bigger, it's 20 inches deep instead of 12 inches and is wider. I'm tempted to wait on the 560Ah cells but most likely will go with 280's.I'm definitely using one big main busbar on my next expansion.
I'm happy with my current DIY mini cabinet busbar but after this winter, so far, I need a lot more battery.
I'm still trying to find a large cabinet, I've contemplated the idea of finding an old walk in freezer and using it as power room... Weld up some simple racking with angle and C channel to hold stacks of cells...
Tiny space heater would keep the cells happy and I could save a ton (or more) of coal running the basement colder. I'd also save on electricity taking some load off the mini split.... Yea, I really like that idea; hell I could even relocate it to the unattached garage.
Thick C channel and heavy wall threaded pipe...Mine is still balancing on old fence posts...
Probably the HF Inverter sounds you're hearing...Have any of you guys noticed some high pitched whine coming from the machine once in a while? It seems completely benign but is just strange

That's what they want you to do!Looks like I'll be getting a bit over 2 grand back from 2023 solar and mini split purchases... I need to spend more in 2024.
