    LV2424 and Growatt 3000 won't turn on with 24V from bigbattery

    LV2424 and Growatt 3000 won't turn on with 24V from bigbattery

    I will double check the BMS connections. I do not have a battery charger. How can I test with the 12V car head lamps? Is this something I can get from wal-mart or autozone?
