This doesn't explain it, just omits older FX inverters from the Outback compatible list. In terms of programming, I did not use Blue Planet's BI setpoints verbatim in the BI 2.0 (48v) system I set up with FXR inverters. They are definitely to be used as guidelines. I was able to get the backup genny to start almost PRECISELY at an 8% SOC and turn of at 70% according to the e-gauge, and easily do further tweaking remotely through the Mate3s via REoptics. I can share my setpoints if anyone is interested. This is a remote site, at least 2 miles from grid power, but I have reliable internet using a Verizon jetpack cell modem/router (and you can also pull and use the verizon Sim card in 3rd party verizon-compatible devices). In this application, the charging efficiency(and ability to use the entire kwh capacity of the bank) is outstanding compared to the old wet cell LA bank. BI-LFP bank has been installed 6 mos and genny has run a total of 55 hrs, compared to at least 250+ same time last year. I will say that Blue Planet definitely needs to expand and re-write their documentation. You will find gaps for sure which might leave you head-scratching the first time around. IMO this especially relates to battery combiner box design and recommendation. If you have more than one cabinet they need to parallel together safely using off-the-shelf components, properly rated and protected. Especially in the high voltage system I am about to install, 1MWH @ 850 vdc. They really ought to sell a listed combiner with the system. I have almost weekly tech meetings with them getting all the details straight. On 8/9/2020 8:30:04 PM, Jay <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Kirk, Can you explain why it wouldnt work? Just setpoints.

The newer FXR series are. Considering one only needs to change slightly charge voltages, duration, etc. to meet BI recommendations, it's a mystery why Outback states that older FX inverters are not compatible. Outback states this in a tech note about using LI batteries. On 8/9/2020 5:40:39 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: P.S. The system consists of an old Outback FX inverter and an MX60, with a 2600 W array. --- On 2020-08-09 13:12, [email protected] wrote: > Hello Wrenches, > > What is the best Li-Ion battery to use with an off grid system? > > Thanks, > > Drake > Athens Electric > > -- > _______________________________________________ > List sponsored by Redwood Alliance > > List Address: [email protected] > > Change listserver email address & settings: > http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org > > List-Archive: > http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org > > List rules & etiquette: > www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm > > Check out or update participant bios: > www.members.re-wrenches.org _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: [email protected] Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: [email protected] Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
