I would add that there is a big range in LVD in lithium batteries. Simpliphi has a really high one, others much lower which do work with older equipment and their LBCO settings. Jay > On Jun 10, 2022, at 9:15 AM, Jerry Shafer via RE-wrenches > wrote: > >  > Matt > Look at the fortress

For LBCO, you can wire the inverter AUX port to the inverter Enable port (there is a jumper installed by default). Then program AUX for a higher set point. It would be great if battery companies added an AUX port as a warning before shutting down. Maverick Brown Off-Grid Solar Commander

I agree with John A pretty simple fix is to install a relay on the AC side controlled by the AUX of the inverter. Jay > On Jun 10, 2022, at 6:17 AM, John Blittersdorf via RE-wrenches > wrote: > >  > Matt, I have several systems with the same mix working ok except that the > low battery

Matt, I have several systems with the same mix working ok except that the low battery cutoff can’t be set high enough to shut down the inverter before the BMS shuts off the battery. Have had to manually restart the batteries. Problem only occurs if generator doesn’t start as programmed or

I was told early MX charge controllers (pre-2011) would lose their mind if the BMS for lithium Batteries shut down under load.. something about they weren’t designed for that kind of surge.. but I think the issue was corrected in like 2012.. db Sent from my iPhone On Jun 10, 2022, at 7:08

Hello Wrenches, I've got customers with an ailing battery bank and I'm working to sketch out a replacement plan. I'd like to offer them a Li option, but they have a suite of older electronics and I'm writing to ask the list if anyone feels like they've settled on a Li brand that works well with
