Thanks for the advice! Correct, I am looking to go for 6kW or higher, and I understand that 48V will remain a suitable voltage for a long time.

Is the MPP Solar PIP-GK 3024 supposed to be able to charge LiFePo4 batteries with grid power? I have this solar charger inverter and have recently also acquired a diesel 4kW generator for the days when it is only raining and very little sun reaches our panels. However, when I connect the...

I have a 24V LiFePo4 battery bank with three parallel batteries, one Winston 100 Ah, one no-name Aliexpress “135 Ah”, and one Eve 280 Ah. Am thinking of swapping my MPP Solar PIP GK 3024 to something 48V-based to allow bigger storage and more output than the current 3kW. What options seem the...

Had it in use now for about 2d and it seems to work well

Hello there, please note that Mkove now (posted 24 June already) also have a high voltage version available, see this news: https://mkove.com/node/42

Hi PeterInSa,, have you tried this? Any experience with their remote data? Pictures, screenshots?

I have placed an order on this MM75 and am very excited about testing it when it arrives in September. I am also wondering a little bit why there are no competing products for this? Seems like such an obvious problem

(oops double post by mistake)

Is there an ‘older’ bluetooth? I am not familiar with older or newer BTs, is there a setting in the ANT BMS to address this ?

I get zero hits in the AppStore for “VBMS” or “Vortecks”. Are they for Android by any chance?

Hi! Did you get any response to this? I am looking for a-n-y app that would work

After deleting the “Smart BMS” app I used in the summer 2022, I can’t seem to find a single working iPhone app for the ANT BMS. The “ANT BMS” is stuck forever in “Connecting…”, see image. I have used an ANT BMS 8S with 100 Ah Winston lifepo for a few years now, and for some reason the iPhone...

Actually, I think I did try this at some point. Anyway, they have stayed well in sync for a few weeks now.

I don’t know what happened over the winter but this season the problem has solved itself - both BMSs show the same. Maybe they reset themselves when the batteries were really empty at some point

Here’s the post: Post in thread 'Bluetooth for multiple ANT BMS in parallel' https://diysolarforum.com/threads/bluetooth-for-multiple-ant-bms-in-parallel.7249/post-325512

My take is that the ant bms is, well, weak in the sense that the soc will not work properly no matter what. Next season, maybe starting in April-ish, I will research and try some shunt. Hopefully there will be a nice cost efficient natively Wi-Fi enabled shunt but then ???

So (re)setting the Ah in the “settings” is the way to reset the SOC? I will have a chance to try this next time in April.

Thanks, I am thinking (something like) this is what I want to do. Is the Victron smart shunt able to be read over Wifi by any chance? I would like to be able to remotely view SOC. My hybrid inverter sort of does that but only based on the voltage

Thanks for the tip, I will try it if I ever get a need for that again!

I wonder if there is a thread discussing this already in the forums. Seems like a situation many people might be wondering about. Have searched a little but not found anything exactly pointing to this yet. Have seen comments that a shunt based %-meter would be the best option but nothing closer...

Some people have suggested changing the MAC address of the BMSs but I am not sure how it would be done.

I used to have 2 ANT BMS in parallel for my 24V battery packs, and in the end found no way to change the MAC addresses or any other thing to make them appear differently for neither iOS nor android apps. I had to disconnect one of them completely and turn it off, so that I could be certain of...

I have a couple of 24V LiFePo4 batteries in parallel each with its own BMS. One battery is AliExpress sourced 135Ah with Overkill’s BMS, works flawlessly. The other is a 100Ah Winston battery from GWL and controlled by an ANT BMS, using the iPhone app “ANT BMS” from mayibms.com. I have “SOC...

Thanks DIYsolar123! I use “User defined” battery type, as I have a couple of 24V LiFePo4 setups in parallel. I have set both the bulk and the float to 27,4V, but when the battery reaches 27,5V, the system still thinks it is “82%”… I tend to agree it is hard coded somewhere or that there is some...

I have an MPP Solar PIP 3024GK device which charges my LiFePo4 batteries up to 27,5-27,6V each day (off grid). However, the MPP tells me this is only 82% of max, and I struggle to find a way to “set 27,5V to max” - I would like for the device to show “100%” when I reach 27,2! I have read the...
