    Bov Battery over voltage error

    I have a Renogy Rover 60A controller with a Giandel 2200W/4400W surge inverter hooked up to 4ea 12v 100Ah Lipo4 batteries in parallel with the same length of wire for + and – throughout the system, using a LNEX battery controller. Running 6ea 100W solar panels wired in series, the combined input...

    I have a Renogy 60A Controller and a LNEX Battery Monitor with shunt, the controller and the monitor vary by about 4%. The controller will state say 9

    I have a Renogy 60A Controller and a LNEX Battery Monitor with shunt. The controller and the monitor vary by about 4%. The controller will state say 90% while the Monitor states 86%, any idea why the discrepancy? I have 4 ea LiTime 12V 100Ah LifePO4 Lithium Batteries. Thank You

    Confused

    Never mind I got it figured out, the total to enter is the total amount of your battery bank which is 300 the problem was that the manual doesn't tell you that once you make the changes you have to press and hold the up arrow for 3 sec's to resync the monitor. Once I did that the monitor now...

    Confused

    Okay I have to admit it I am about as green on this solar stuff as my lawn but I am learning or at least trying too. My confusion is in my solar controller and my monitor for the input of the battery type and amps. The manuals are very vague in regards to the amount of batteries one has and the...

    Battery monitor

    I have the LNEX battery monitor hooked up for Lithium Iron battery at 100Ah but was told that becasue I am running 3 batteries in parallel that the number in the setting needs to be set to 300Ah because 3 batteries at 100 each = 300 total amps. I thought the setting was just 100 as that is the...

    I know dumb question

    I know dumb question but I have to ask, It is my understanding that 3 ea 12V 100ah batteries in parallel will not shock you because the voltage is only 12V and that is not enough voltage to push the electrons through your body. Is this correct. in other words the 12V voltage going into the...

    Grounding

    I have a Giandel 2400/4400w inverter which I will use to connect to a Reliance Transfer Switch via 3 prong plug cord. The reliance transfer switch is already wired to the house to 4 circuit breakers which I have been using with a AIO gas powered generator when the power goes out. It is not a...

    Dilemma

    Correct I just state loads because that is the start order for the controller.

    Dilemma

    It isn't that it is and issue it is just that in this day and age it should be simpler, having to put disconnect switches between each componet, i.e. PV, Controller, Load and switching them off in order and then switching them back on in order is not that big a deal but until I can ascertain...

    Dilemma

    Here is Renogy's reply " If you disconnect the battery, we recommend that you follow the instructions to reset the entire system. During the installation of the system, the battery is connected first before the solar panel. When removing the system, the solar panel is removed first and then the...

    Dilemma

    I agree but the manual for my Renogy states that the batteries are to be connected first, the the PV than the load. Doing that in that order everytime I use the kill switch to disconnect for a period of time in this day and age seems illogical. The manual doesn't state the Controller retains the...

    Dilemma

    I understand and there are fuses and disconnects for each component but having one switch which will disconnect the whole system for purposes of safety while away, how does one power it back up if the controller has to be first and entering all the information for the batteries etc, etc isn't...

    Dilemma

    If the first thing that is connected in a system is the MPPT Controller and then the panels and then the load i.e. Inverter, etc, etc. Once you connect the Controller enter all the info for your battery type and then connect everything else up, all working fine. If I put a battery disconnect...

    Battery kill Switch

    Any ideas for a good at least 400A kill switch, I can't seem to find any that are rated at, at least 400A continuous.

    What size buss bar should I get

    The continuous load should not be more then 2400watts even at its highest and that is the rating of the inverter also. It will be 12v system with and no other significant loads other than the inverter

    Correct Inverter size?

    I have 3 Lipo4 12V 100Ah batteries that I am going to setup in Parallel which would be roughly 3600watts, What size inverter should I use? I currently have a 2200/4400 watt inverter should I get a bigger one? I have 6 ea 100watt solar panels that I will utilize.

    Charging 3 Lipo4 12V 100Ah batteries

    I am trying to understand MPPT Controllers if I have 3ea lipo4 12v 100ah batteries in parallel and use a 60A mppt controller, does that mean that this is the same as charging each battery at 20A? Hence if say using a 40A controller with 2 batteries would be 20 ea as say a 20A controller with 2...

    *New* Inergy "Flex" Solar Generator

    I watched a video on youtube from City Prepping on the flex he received and he stated that one of the things he didn't like was the way the battery latched and suggested that putting a strap around the whole unit was a way to rectify the problem it is at the 10:00 minute mark and the review can...

    *New* Inergy "Flex" Solar Generator

    Well it pasted my first test and the one I was most worried about and that was running my Well Water pump. It performed flawlessly. It took the surge watts about 2100+ and maintained the draw of 900 watts till the pressure switch turned it off. I now have a way to get water without running a...

    *New* Inergy "Flex" Solar Generator

    I agree I have been waiting now for 15 months and this is beyond ridiculous. It has gotten to the point where I consider their replies just lies saying anything to divert from the customers anger. They need to get their act together and get these things shipped.

    *New* Inergy "Flex" Solar Generator

    Wait a minute you mean that you spoke with them on the 6th of May 2021 and they stated that the additional batteries will not ship now until NOVEMBER?? I mean I just visited their website and it still states that if you order the unit you will get it in July and now you are stating that it will...
