Hello, recently I built my system based on two Sungold SP6548 inverters and 8x SG48100p batteries. I set it for test with just 4x 450watt panels connected to one of the inverters ( in series). For a month the system ran fine, charging all eight batteries with BMS communicating in PYL mode (at least what I thought by just looking at led lights on batterie's front panels) . I was not using much power, just ran the countertop oven from it from time to time, just to test it. One day it started throwing error 71 and stopped producing electricity. At the same time, all the batteries showed 4-5 lights SOC on their front panels. Upon checking individual cell voltages of batteries that went into alarm it became evident that some of the cell voltages fell below 2.7v and pack voltage was something like 43v. At the same time, SOC was showing more than 90%.
I shut down all the batteries and started charging them one by one from the inverters. I charged two batteries so far and found that battery voltages are inconsistent with their SOC. For example, first battery shows 53.42V with soc of 94.91% and second battery shows 52.79V with 98.96% SOC! Is there a way to balance the batteries so that their voltages are consistent with their SOC? I understand the logic of BMS is that it tracks SOC and once it reaches 100% charging stops. It does not matter that cell voltages are 2.7v and pack voltage is just 43v, if it tells SOC is 100%, you cannot charge it more. It takes one of the cell's voltages to drop below 2.7v and battery goes into alarm and disconnects having SOC value of more than 90% at the same time. How would you advice to go about that issue?
