If someone would be so kind... how does one determine battery compatibility with an inverter? I assume that "compatibility" comes in two levels:
Do "budget" battery packs (with a bms) typically have comm abilities or no? If a battery pack (ie Fortress) DOES have CAN/RS485 ability, but is not on an inverters list, what does that mean?
Much thanks for any info y'all can share.
- Manual/Blind Charging: The inverter is programmed to send & receive power at specified rates and knows nothing more about the batteries than the current SOC / voltage.
- Fancy Charging: The BMS monitors SOC, temps etc and sends that data to the inverter via CAN or RS485.
