    GerhardZA got a reaction from MrNj in Shoto SDC10-Box 5 (5.12kWH) 16 Cell, battery settings   
    Thank you for this.

    I miss read that boost / float charge voltage... ๐Ÿ˜ž

    I have these settings configured now. Will monitor during loadshedding and maybe adjust a little bit if needed.

    Thank you for the assistance

    GerhardZA got a reaction from Coulomb in Kodak OG5.48 firmware update   
    Ok, I got it sorted. I disconnected the battery and PV. Switched off the grid power, waited 10 seconds and switched the grid back on. Now here is where it gets tricky... I had to time when I clicked update on the software perfectly, its about 4 seconds after I switch on the grid. Just before the inverter starts making clicking noises.ย 
    I flashed it with theย 102.73 display firmware and everything is working now ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thank you for the assistance and guidance.

    I have another question, but will start a new thread... ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have the same battery in a different box and run on voltage settings. You can charge at 56.4V, float at 54V and cutoff at 45V. Some cells need to reach 3.5V for the balancing to activate.

    Just for anyone reading this in the future. I got a qualified electrician to do the connection. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Just some pointers. Running Esk as is now just disconnect the plugs and lights in the present DB. Run power to the new DB from the present. Wire inverter to new DB with the transfer E/L etc. From the new DB run wiring back to the old DB where you already have all the plugs and lights circuit breakers.
    Due to so many black wires rather get a sparky too do it. Not something that one can put on paper without seeing and testing of the present wiring.
    My 2c.
