Well, I did that last night. The BMs actually cut it off reported 0 Ah and it fully charged only to 937. Also, it says the state of health is only 93.7. I’ll isolate the pack and try again and see..

So today my pack #3 showed 100 percent charge but only able to take in 93.7AH I brought it up on PBMS and this is what it showed. Is there anything that can be done to combat this? Or has the battery already lost 6 percent capacity after only 160 charge cycles?

I tried numerous bulbs and returned many to Walmart Amazon etc. But I have found a solution! Or maybe as you said a work around for my 6500’s 2 bulbs worked and they are the WAL-MART Great value 40 watt LED and ONLY THE 40 watt. And any flavor of CFl bulbs worked great!! I may make a...

That's what I was afraid of....

If you are going without comms you can use the Victron smart shunt to get accurate state of charge and use it with solar assistant to handle automations Works great! You just need the Ve direct cable to your pi!

Why the dig deal if a small amount gets pushed to grid? Does the poco know and then comes after you for no interconnect agreement?

Interconnect agreements are getting worse and worse and in my case I have 13.5k watts of solar which puts me in the tier 2 category which requires a 1 million dollar liability insurance policy and with Fpl! You can never have a 0.0 bill everyone has to pay the 25 dollar minimum so yeah it...

I used open loop for a long time but my batteries would always discharge at different rates and my state of charge amongst the bank would be all over the map. when I started doing closed loop it discharged very evenly and the state of charge remained more consistent. I’m not going back but...

I recently went back to closed loop communication for my sungold batteries and my SP 6548 and even though the option 12 and 13 are presented in SOC% it seems the battery/inverter will not accept any value and returns to 0% on each value. So by default it determines at 14% it returns to grid...

The 6000xp only uses can protocol for communication switch the port on the Sungold batteries to the Can port and make sure your master battery dip switch first digit is up and the others all down to designate it as the master. It should be plug and play after that. Make sure you select...

🤣🤣.

so I bought my Sp6548 inverters and 400 ah of batteries in August of 2023. And for the most part I have been pleased with them but there are quirks that you guys are well aware of with the voltronics inverters mainly the flickering lights and lack of any support. Etc… When the 6000xp came...

Not for us Floridians!! Flat is our heaviest months for electric usage!

I agree that reducing the max charge voltage to keep cell 9 from spiking. my cell 9 was doin te same thing which is why I settled on 55.2 for bulk charge it gets to 100 soc fairly quick but stops the cell 9 from triping OVP. You can still get to full with less voltage but I found 55.2 gets...

This is another reason I stopped using closed loop you end up having one battery dictate charging for all the others.

Your bulk charging is much lower then mine I have mine set at 55.3 Off grid garage did several tests on many different lithium batteries and 3.45 per cell seems to be the magic number and it works well for me as well. I set my float to 55.2 help balance them out. After bulk charged is reached...

Sure can! Let me get some more but this is all I have on me right now also I have a quick walk through video if you are interested.

No I’m open loop using the victron smart shunt to measure state of charge and it’s incredibly accurate!

Yes I bought the 12 stud bus bars from signature solar and I attached that to my SGP battery rack. Then I connected the batteries to my inverter using 4/0 wire and the victron lynx distributor, this is not necessary but I liked how clean it was and I use the victron smart shunt for battery...

I gave up long ago on closed loop for my SGP batteries. it didn’t help at all and the master battery was basically dictating everything for the others in user mode I was able to set parameters that made all my batteries happy.

Have you selected the correct battery designation ? If you are using SunGold batteries they have to be set to pylon. User is actually better settings for control in my opinion you can better tweak the charge parameters to suite your needs

What size wire were you able to fit on your terminals?

It seems to have no variance but today it was at 100 percent state of charge and my outside meter still said it was using about 70 watts sometimes 100 and setting 12 is 47 volts

Maybe some of you guys know the answer to this one. I have noticed in my electric meter usage that sometimes and mostly in the evenings that my sp6548 ‘s Are pulling small loads from the grid like between 35-80 watts. Not all the time and not during heavy sun or heavy PV production it’s...

I have seen in several set ups that the EG4 power pro batteries when connected to the 18kPV used 2 positives and 2 negatives to connect one battery. I have also seen Will prowse connect one power pro to a 6500 using just one positive and one negative. Is there a reason for this? is the...

Not sure where you got 48 bags of concrete from? I have atttached mine to concrete pillars using 6 foot form tubs and each tube took 2 80 pound bags.

sometimes you just have a cell that drops below the BMS allowable parameters its not neccsarrily defective Its happened to me before also, just do a top and bottom balance and watch that particular cell it will probably be fine once they all balance out. for instance my cell number 8 on my top...

strange, mine came marked!

My SP6548 Included the cable with the labels on it. I assumed all of them did??

Will Prowse actually Seems to Promote the Hammer Crimped models in one of his videos I Have had really good success with those as well!

i just connected by cables as per the picture and now I’m getting full charge and correct SOC for Al my batteries! Connected inverter 1 to battery one with supplied cables and then the rest of stack just started charging and no error codes !!

I have ordered 10 solar panels a Chargeverter and 2 Brightmount racks and all of my items arrived really fast the original Brightmount rack was back ordered in July I called got a response from an English speaking human in about 15 minutes. Was told they would be about another week and sure...

Yes

I have 2 and so far so good I think all of them are the same the BMS certainly seems to be the same and it has performed well so far.
