  1. Mmm, i don't think so.. Must be a the shunt setting I need to change.. Maybe my voltage on the shunt is set to high and so when reaching full charge (based on voltage) its not "resetting" back to 100%.... Guessing at this point.. Will have a look at the shunt setting in due course.. Hoping other have set these shunts up if there is something I can look out for.. Could not find the settings for a 16s battery.. Good Luck with your build! building DIY LI Ion batteries is not for the faint hearted!
  2. I have a DIY battery with a ant bms. I added a victron BMV monitor with a (ve.direct cable) to get SOC for ICCsoftware with a axpert inverter). Problem i am having is that the bmv over time looses the correct state of charge (compared to the BMS which appears to be more correct) Overtime the BMV shows a lower SOC compared to what the battery actually is. (when cells get to around 3.4 they should be showing near 100% SOC on the BMV) Not sure if anyone know the correct settings on the BMV.. there was a long list, i guessed most of settings so not sure what others have used. I charge the battery to 54.4v which should be close to 100% SOC right..? Still need to spend time fine turning the BMV, thought I could start here:) Many Thanks, Ian
  3. HI, I recently upgraded to a 7.2kw king inverter. Often the inverter will power off, only during load shedding.. With Eskom power i have no issues even though running off solar battery..? I have noticed this appears to happen when using my desktop computer but its not consistent does not turn off all the time..? Possible earth fault, and the inverter been more sensitive?
