As for the Simpliphi I have them in a few projects one being Governor Browns offgrid home and my own off-grid residence is powered using them. I recently re-engineered the Outback IBR3 for the phi 3.5 and made an advanced version for my own. I purchased a flexnet battery monitor and used all three channels for the IBR I have a spare Flexmax80 that powers a hub 4 and a second mate 3. You are able to aggregate this data into optics and overlay the two. I’ll admit I haven’t had a lot of time to tweak with it but I think you can see it as an optics preview through outback.
I agree data on the Lifpo4 is critical and my understanding is Simpliphi will be releasing a version soon that has comms. I also have a Discover AES bank on my off grid woodshop consisting of 4 of the 6.5 coupled with three of the older xantrex xw inverters this is a great platform so far and you can see the battery as a device on the scp, you can also direct connect using a usb to usb cable to the battery and upload firmware and see the battery specifics Jason Andrade West Coast Sustainables Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 23, 2019, at 2:21 PM, re-wrenches-requ...@lists.re-wrenches.org wrote: > > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 16:08:55 -0600 > From: Darryl Thayer <darylsol...@gmail.com> > To: offgridso...@sti.net, newrewrenches > <RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> > Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Aquion Batteries > Message-ID: > <CAHsrUiS+GycYp7xov4SCHHYGjdZ9=RDgLf1izqLV=k38gzz...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > I have used Simphiphy.
