I had a situation with a Sonnon system where the controller missed it's turn off point and discharged the batteries until there was not enough voltage to keep the BMS running. I jury rigged two 300W panels in parallel and charged the batteries directly until they turned on the BMS. On Thu, Aug

Jay, After LVD, with Relion, LiFeBlue and the new Elite PS ABC-CPU, the BMS will keep the battery off until you begin to charge. The battery will automatically come back online. Larry On Aug 10, 2017, at 7:43 AM, Jay wrote: Hi Dave, This is wonderful info. And it

Hi Dave, This is wonderful info. And it leads into the what happens when it reaches LVD? Given that it is using almost 10% per day of battery capacity for the BMS, what happens when the charging source for whatever reason shuts down. ( CC dies while people are gone for a few days for one

Yes true. I haven't found the perfect off grid lithium battery. But until the prices come down, I become a better sales person, or I get rich clients not a big problem for me. You will have to use external % meter, but been doing that for long time. Sure good comm would be better, however

Jay, Without battery BMS data for Soc how does one know? I assume you need an external shunt and an energy monitor? Any guidance from the manufacturer? One of the nice things about the LG resu 10 is the data is all there and it stays very accurate even on a week with never finishing charge to

HI Tom, I think maybe the best way to think about these batteries is that they are really like a standard LA battery. There is no communication, all BMS is internal to the battery. If you want more capacity they parallel, but no communication between batteries. All battery wires are to be
