    Dual active balancers?

    140ma is fairly common 3 batteries seem to have a higher IR than the other so charge slower 13. My inverter can't do absorption due to it using a lead acid charge profile on my lithium batteries. I have it set to stop charging at about 55v but sometimes the bms will cut out first because 1...

    Dual active balancers?

    I can choose the voltage and the delta I want to start balancing at. Currently it starts at 3.4V and 10mV delta.

    Dual active balancers?

    Awesome thanks, yea if the Neey can keep everything in check I would just turn off balancing on the JK BMS

    Dual active balancers?

    Yea I'm not interested in anything that isn't a 'smart balancer' It looks like no one has actually tried running 2 of these at the same time on the same battery. The 2a can't keep my battery in check when it's at a high or low state of charge. One or two batteries seem to run away from the rest...

    Dual active balancers?

    I currently have a JKbms with 2a active balance. I'm thinking of getting a NEEY 4a active balancer as well to compliment the 2a. Is there any reason I would not be able to run both in parallel?

    Sungrow SH5K-30 DIY battery possible ?

    Yes you are right about the compliance certificate and giving more options on the firmware. On your Batruim system is it the smart shunt or the cellmon that has the canbus connection to the inverter?

    Sungrow SH5K-30 DIY battery possible ?

    I just started looking after I discovered on the 'other battery' setting the inverter force charges to 100% every 6 months. It's a battery maintenance feature for lead acid, which is unwanted in my case, but it seems there is no way to disable it. Probably a super long shot anyway hoping for an...

    Sungrow SH5K-30 DIY battery possible ?

    No. I apparently was sent a non canbus version even after asking specifically for it to be. They have sent me some chips I have to solder into it but i have not bothered yet. I'm not even sure the Sungrow inverter would know how to talk directly to the JK BMS. It may need to go through...

    Sungrow SH5K-30 DIY battery possible ?

    Wow thats really cool all that info shows up in the inverter. If the Batrium stuff wasn't so crazy expensive I would probably give it a try. I will possibly try a seplos BMS one day but at the moment we are just making do with a JK bms and 'other battery' inverter profile. Side question, have...

    Sungrow SH5K-30 DIY battery possible ?

    Cool, I will follow with interest. Did you mean to write Batrion or Batrium? Is it a BMS you are talking about or a shunt? I ended up ditching the Daly BMS for a JK BMS to get active balancing, the Daly was hopeless.

    Daly smart BMS CAN interface

    Hi all, I have just put together my first Lifepo4 diy battery. 16 Eve 280ah cells in series with a Daly 100a BMS. My problem is when the BMS switches off charging the battery for any reason my Sungrow SH5K-30 inverter throws a fault. I want to use the CAN communication form the Daly BMS to...

    Sungrow SH5K-30 DIY battery possible ?

    Hi, I have this Sungrow inverter as well. I have a 16x280ah battery with a 100a Daly "smart" BMS. It's all working under the 'other batttery' settings but I really want to get CAN working. When the BMS switches off charging the inverter no longer sees a battery and freaks out. It sometimes goes...
