    sodium-ion batteries .....

    Can you explain more about your process? As far as I unterstand your explanation, you built your one Salt battery? According to the the informations on your post, your battery exists out of: Salt MnO2? Carbon I did some research and found this: What salt would be best, I found Epsom salt...

    Heltec (JK) 200A Smart BMS with 2A Active Balance

    I found this: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/jk-jikong-rs485-interface-wiring.35071/post-442064 An the esphome jk bms github shows a direkt wireing of the RS485 -> I'll give try.

    JK (JiKong) RS485 interface wiring

    @Nami Do you have a manual / more informations about the connector. I do have the JK-B2A24S20P and try to get RS485 working. Does the RS485 socekt provied native RS485 or do I always have to use the RS485 Adapter from JKBMS?

    Heltec (JK) 200A Smart BMS with 2A Active Balance

    I do have the same JK BMS. This seems to by a HW Version 10.XG. So far I can't find any manual for the pinout of the small connectors under the balance leads. Does anybody know the pinout of the RS485 connector and what's the small connectors under the bms leads? THX

    Off-grid Solar / Battery monitoring and control freeware

    Well, I also adopted the Dashboard from Joe. My "problem" is, the numerical numbers are updated fine. But the txt from "myStr" is not shown immediatly. Eg. Currentflow is -10A, but the working mode still shows "Storage". If I check the data "Inspect" -> "Data" the myStr is "Discharge".

    Did an update, impedance is now working according to V126 protocol description: https://github.com/TheSmartGerman/SolarShed Had to add, another *.prom file and use additional identifiers (BMS_A_imp). I plan to make the BMS name also an argument... so if you use more then one BMS you can all...

    Still struggling with the update of the Grafana string, any ideas: Current is ok, but the myStr is not updated... BTW. Got the impedance readout fixed - well sort of... I get data, caluclations seems to be ok. But comparison between the readout data and shown on the BMS Display seems not...

    Can anyboy give me a advice for Grafana: My charge/dischgarge protection is not shown properly: I use the panel from joe. So it should show the status. It's configured to show the last "myStr" but it didn't worked yesterday. Is it possible to change color too? Also if it goes from "Release"...

    Hmm it looks like your script is coded for V1.22. There has since been a few updates. Could the extra information now in the hex output be interfering with your script function? Well I did some rewirte of the code, you can select different Protocol versions...

    Monitoring MPP/Clone systems with freeware Pi/Grafana

    Well BMS is working fine. Expect for the Impedance Output. For 16 cells, I should get 40bytes but it outputs 59 Bytes. This cause lengt and checksum check to fail (it added this too :P) Can't get getMPPSolar.sh working. I tryed to make it executable using chmod -x. But now success. Just...

    MPP Solar + BMS communication/control

    Well, at the moment I do some testing with SolarShed https://github.com/BarkinSpider/SolarShed, at the moment I'm testing the latest Chargery protocol (1.26). After this I'll give at try with the lib procotol... Do you know this project: https://github.com/jblance/mpp-solar it also supports jkbms

    Monitoring MPP/Clone systems with freeware Pi/Grafana

    Ok, my plan is to branch your githup. I'll also updated the Chagery Protocol too the latest version. It also reads impedance values of the battery. my inveter response to the query looks like this: So I have to grep for "ac_input_voltage" instead of "grid_voltage" right? Well inveter is...

    MPP Solar - utility charge only when inverter off?

    Well, if you set Set Step 16 to OSO is only should charge from solar. I do have a 5048 MGX, if I switch the device of, it's charging only with solar.

    MPP Solar, stop from utility charging?

    Ok, well still learning to unterstand the PIP but my understandig so far is: 1. If I select SBU - it will use solar / battery fist. If the requested power is not sufficiant it will switch to utility (Bypass). But not charging the battery using utiltiy. But if you request e.g. 1000W and solar is...

    MPP Solar, stop from utility charging?

    Well, I have a 5048 MGX and so far I seems ok for me. No utilty charing, if not neccessary... But it's still not under full load... Check this out: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/all-in-one-122448v-packages.html

    MPP Solar, stop from utility charging?

    Your "problem" is Setting 12 - Voltage 12V This is the nominal voltage for the battery. It have to be lower eg. 10.5V then It will charge with untiltiy until you hit the voltage of step 13 This is my understanding of this settings.

    MPPSolar Transfer time for Bypass to long

    Sure, if I wait for Low Battery Cut Off, it may act different. But if the BMS cut off earlyer I will have a longer transfere time. Well the capacitors will loose voltage instandly, after droping under a sertain threshold the inverter can switch powersource.

    MPPSolar Transfer time for Bypass to long

    Well, I'm not sure what's right. It's not realy stated from which power soure the transfere time to another. In fact Unitlity / Grid is the lowerst priority. Just backup if solar and battery are not sufficiant... How does the "famous" PIPs like 2024MS behave? And discharging the capacitors...

    ok this is intressting. In the manual 1.0 the negativ installation for common port is shown: In Version 1.1 it's on the positve side using he ISO-Board Would it be possible to have precharge using the delay board ? So if you connect to negative side, just use the delay board + additional...

    Chargery BMS, DCC (Solid State Contactor) thread.

    Just another question to the DCC experts, maybe I missed it, but the thread is quite long now - When the DCC is shut-off, you should be able to measure 7,5kOhms? - It always provide a voltage! => This will cause the inverter so see always "see" the battery. But if power is requested it will...
