Just finished adding a second 30 kWH RUiXU cabinet to my Sol-ark 15k.
The process I followed to introduce a new cabinet to an existing one:
Fully charge RUiXU1
Solark config: disable battery
Solark: disable DC breaker
RUiXU1 power off every box
RUiXU1 change master dip 6 to off
Connect RUiXU2...
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Everything is working now.
On the top battery I set switch 6 on.
Every other switch is off on every battery.
I had to start each battery, one at a time, delaying 10 seconds between each start. Otherwise I was getting multiple Masters.
I love your server rack...
Can Bus ID
Your diagram indicates every slave should have the same switch setting.
So how does the solark address a battery? IE How does its Can ID get set?
Doesn't each battery need a unique ID?
Sol-ark settings
Can you check my solark settings in the three images above?
I dont understand the RUiXU dip switches.
I have a rack of 6 batteries but the switches have no place to set the Can id.
How do you specify the master battery?
How do you specify each Can bus ID?
I need protocol ID 2, which is dip switch 6.
Do I set switch 6 on every battery?
Today I've learned.....

Dude. I've lived through Outback, Solark and EG4 inverters.
This is not my first rodeo.
This was a test rack that I built myself by hand and it behaved beautifully for four years. I've intentionally ran it balls out 100% charge to discharge daily.
I got every dollar out of what little I...
My home build LTO battery had a fire last night.
We heard a large pop and came out to find a small arc fire in one of the cells. One of the cells had popped completly apart. The wiring was arcing and causing a small flame.
We were running five 10 amp active balancers on five 22S banks...
I have four 400 watt panels and they won't provide enough power to run a mini split for very long.
I can only run for one full day then charge for 5 days using a 30kWH battery.
This is from South Carolina sun.
No issues vacuuming.
I wrapped the wires with this tape:

My lift is the best money I ever spent.
It's all aluninum, so it's light.
But it has lifted 600 lbs.
I use it daily.
I built the stand thinking I could drive it into the ground with a hammer. Not...
Just finished my Della install.
Took way longer than I thought it would.
I had to manufacture two connectors for the 240 volt lines. The connector on the unit is tiny. The wire I had on hand was 10 guage.
I had to manufacture a stand out of pressure treated lumber to sit in the grass.

My EG4 is producing power!
I'm running in an off-grid mode with four 345 watt panels.
What I experienced:
- no battery rack
Still waiting. Signature Solar quoted 6 weeks delay.
The cables from the inverter are too large to attach directly to the batteries.
You'll need to wait for the rack or...
I finally got the EG4 18kpv charging 6 lifepower4 batteries to 59% charged.
How do I get AC line voltage?
I'm running in off-grid mode.
I have 150volts of PV but zero volts on Line1 and Line2.
That won't work.
You first open the app while connected to wifi to download the firmware.
Then you switch the wifi to use the dongle.
You must open the app first so you can download.
I am unable to update the firmware on my new EG4 18kpv.
I switch my phones wifi to the EG4 dongle and press
CONNECT DEVICE AND UPDATE
I select TCP Connection
I see error
connect dongle of device failed
I have tried

From what I understand, you have no choice but use a BMS that covers the entire 20S string.
Otherwise, the first string to charge will disconnect from the charger
and the other string wont be allowed to charge.
You responded to someone questioning the guy being rude.
You said:
"I agree with his thought process"
Not sure, why would interject your agreement, except to support the guys rude behavior.
But, that's fine.
We'll just agree to disagree.
Shenzhen Toomen claims they are coming out with new Carbon Capacitor cells in 3Q-2020 that have:
20.0Ah 25000F 4.0VDC 120mm x 200mm form factor. Full spec attached.
I emailed Shenzhen Toomen to obtain 20 of their new cells for a 6 month evaluation.
The goal is to create a drop in...
