    SAFT VL41M cells

    Hi all, Not been on here for a while, but I have come into possession of some SAFT VL41M cells. I was told they have been never been used, but there are stickers on the boxes they come in that say Discharged. I've just checked a couple and they are sat at 0.4V. Is there a possibility I can get...

    Existing shaded panel options

    Yeah It's ok I'm an electrician! I don't have any experience with solar though, although I did all the battery install myself. I'll do some research on how to disconnect the panels safely.(y) I was thinking if I put that inverter on the same supply as the growatt it "should" in essence run...

    Existing shaded panel options

    I’ll disconnect the 2 West ones and see. I need to get up there to fit some bird proofing soon, so I’ll do it then. Thanks.

    Existing shaded panel options

    Thanks SamG340. I’m pretty sure it’s one of these things below. I’m not sure if it’s even any good to be used as I think it just gets plugged into a 13A socket!

    Existing shaded panel options

    Hi all, I'm sure this has been discussed many times, but I have an existing 8 panel system, with 6 panels on a South facing roof and 2 panels on a West facing roof. The installers fitted tigo optimisers on the 2 West facing panels, but I've started to notice that until the sun gets round to the...

    Seplos BMS - factory reset? Not able to use BT/PC SW

    Glad to hear It's all working. I'm going to look at the raspberry pi option for monitoring as I've noticed the bluetooth module on the Seplos has a range of about 30CM :ROFLMAO:

    LG Chem/ Seplos BMS/ Sofar me3000sp setup

    Finally got my setup running. I’m using a sofar ME3000sp, a 14s 100A Seplos BMS with Bluetooth, and a 6.7KWh LG chem ESS. 100A DC rated ABB sace MCCB for overcurrent/isolation. It’s currently running the dishwasher due to the overcast UK conditions making the solar pants! Seplos BMS was a pain...

    Seplos BMS - factory reset? Not able to use BT/PC SW

    I've got the 10E which I've hooked up to my windows PC and just received my Bluetooth display, which I ordered separately. I've not tried to connect through Bluetooth yet, but from the message I got from Seplos support the Bluetooth function is Android only, so is a completely separate software...

    Lg battery bms

    Looking at the attached photos, maybe I'm mistaken in thinking mine were 2018 models. I have the 128AH packs that are 6.7 ish KWh, but they have a very similar serial number to the ones shown in the photos above. I'd assumed the 2018 part at the beginning was the manufacture date, as many years...

    Lg battery bms

    I don't know where mine are from tbh. If I'm reading the serial number right they were manufactured September 2018, which was the outside of the recall. I'm putting them in an old coal shed, which is concrete and I'm going to fire batt it for added protection. AND be very gentle with the...

    Lg battery bms

    Markwi did you have any luck with this? I have the same modules and I basically removed the stock BMS, removed the connector from the board and then soldered the sensing cables from a SEPLOS 14S (10E) 100A BMS to the connector. I've not connected it to my inverter yet, but I can communicate with...
