    Growatt SPF5000ES Low voltage cut off can not be set higher than 45,9

    I was wondering. Imagine this scenario: - night time - battery resting voltage 50,0 - low cut off setting 48,0 When you apply a reasonable large load and the battery voltage drops temporary because of this load to 47,5. Does the inverter shuts down immediately, or does it take into account the...

    Growatt SPF5000ES Low voltage cut off can not be set higher than 45,9

    It worked, thanks! If I make OSO at setting 14, will I then stil be able to charge the batteries using a generator in case of very bad weather for days

    Growatt SPF5000ES Low voltage cut off can not be set higher than 45,9

    Thanks! I will try your tips. In Peru, we have 220 volt and 60hz.

    Growatt SPF5000ES Low voltage cut off can not be set higher than 45,9

    Hi people, I would like to set the low voltage cut off to 48V. in order to keep the batteries in good condition. Manual tells me it could be set from 42 to 48. In reality the inverter does not let me set it higher that 45,9. If I set 46, 47 or 48 it changes it back to 45 when I press the enter...

    Absorption time for growatt 5000es

    @gremlin66 19: 54.7 (3.418 per cell) about 100% SOC 20: 53.4 (3,337 per cell) FLOAT 92% SOC JK: start balance voltage: 3,34 V Your internal jk balancer then balances for a charging period from 3,34 to 3,418 volt, correct? Because when the unit switches over to the float setting, the voltage...

    Absorption time for growatt 5000es

    Thanks for your reply. The graph and table does not tell us that Andy didn't use any absorption time. Normally he set it to 1 hour if I am not mistaken. I doubt that he reduced this time to zero seconds for this test, but I could be wrong....

    Absorption time for growatt 5000es

    The question is: is the growatt unit capable to put the full 280ah into the cells? Since you can not set a absorption time like the victron charge controller. I just wonder what actually happens with the growatt unit during the "bulk/absorption" phase. The moment the cells reach their set 3,45...

    Absorption time for growatt 5000es

    Maibe there are other people here on the forum who have suggestions? It should be possible, since Will Prowse also used individual cells in combination with a mpp solar inverter (which is Voltronic like growatt)

    Appropriate panels for growatt 5000es?

    Hi sunshine people, On the specs, I see a max pv input of 18Ah. And 22A with a software update apparently....? Does anyone knows if the inverter is a good match with 12x 500wp Trina panes (2 strings of 6) I have attached the specs. I am a bit worried about the high amps, but would love to...

    Absorption time for growatt 5000es

    Hi there, In the manual I could not find a possibility to program a specific absorption time for the growatt 5000es inverter. If I am not mistaken, Andy from the offgrid garage recommends 1 hour for this absorption period. The combination will be: the 5000es with 16x eve 280 or 304 cells...

    Data communication inverter - bms

    Hello, I am planning to use: - Voltronic Axpert max 8000 all-in-one inverter - JK bms 200A - 16x 304 eve cells I know this inverter has a custom setting option where you can setup all the relevant voltages which suit the battery pack being used. But I read also that people use a data...

    Growatt spf5000es with JK BMS

    In contrast with other systems, the growatt is an "all in one unit". Charge controller, inverter and ac charger. For it to charge the battery after the bms had a low cell disconnect, it needs to be on (and thus consumes electricity). In contrast to seperate charge controllers. So tgat made me...

    Growatt spf5000es with JK BMS

    Hello, - growatt spf5000es - JK 16S 200ah BMS - 16x 304 eve cells I wonder if my assumptions are correct: - bms detect a cell voltage is too low: Growatt unit shuts down completely. Charging has to be done with an external charger - bms detect a cell voltage is too high: Growatt unit stays...
