Hello all, for those kind enough to assist me and for anyone interested in learning about this system i would like to update folks.. Just got back from my cabin and followed some sound advice to troubleshoot the Growatt system. First off thanks BenQ for the advise to connect two 12volt (any batteriers) in series to see if this will activate the system... So I took my two 12 volt marine boat batteries and hooked them in series and connected to the Growatt system. It kicked on immediately and ran like a charm... I've played with the set up and it seems to work perfectly... Thanks so much for that!! I have also spoken with Big Battery and they are attempting to mail me a battery charger for the LiFePo4 batteries to see if I can get them to a good setting to turn on the system...Right now they are resting comfortably at 23.8 V... Once again I will keep you all informed once I receive and charge up this battery... Apparently there are legal issues for them shipping to our quaint country... On a side note for you explorers, I did chat with my Electrician source up here and he suggested i run this marine battery system in parallel with the LiFe PO4 battery to see if it would charge up the Big Battery. I did this and it was running BUT when I disconnected the marine batteries to isolate the LiFePO4 battery, within a few minutes all systems shut down, even when i ran the generator (which ties in perfectly) to see it the Growatt built in battery charger would take over... Anyway, that failed but it's worth reporting for those loving details... Happy Aug 10 and I head up to Georgian bay for some Sea Kayaking fun on Thurs... Will post once i move forward with a battery charger.. cheers all.. and Thanks again.. ger
