  1. Looks good, the BMS looks very similar to the Hoselect Battery, which mind you seems to be quite similar in specification. Great to see Magneto offering this as well now.
  2. Morning all, found out the main board had blown causing the issue. Had it repaired, affordably and the issue has been resolved. For the Luxpower units, you can ask the online team to check and do a firmware upgrade....they can also check the board parameters and status
  3. For new Luxpower SNA5000 units, the box even says the cable has changed...if you didn't catch it...this is what it looks like. (Photo taken at Wamuse Inverter Repairs)
  4. Hey Francois, you managed to fix this? My Luxpower with Hoselect 5.1kwh battery is doing exactly the same. No PV. The battery also says alarm and has an SCP error on it. If I break connection with inverter, reset battery the alarm light goes off. The moment the breaker is switched on between inverter and battery, the battery goes to Alarm and SCP count goes up. Inverter sees battery, but battery not charging or discharging when load shedding. Discharge set at 40A, when I checked it first it was at 100a...which is odd as it was always 40-50...so not sure why it shot to 100....wondering if the initial 100 damaged the battery or wiring. Any ideas folks?

    Hour after loadshedding...and its charging back up to 100% it appears. Will keep monitoring, still need to figure out this 100% charge/discharging cut off. Set according to time and letting the battery BMS do it's job Thanks
  6. MetaB replied to Burt's topic in Inverters
    Yeah, was stressing on the 100%, so I brought it down slightly...as a buffer. Will check after load shedding to see if it recharges back up again. Set it to Time now, so it went up to 100% and is sitting there with minor discharging and recharging going on for now. Thanks for all your guidance buddy.

    Thanks Gents, I'm struggling with the same....charges and discharges even if Grid is available. Will try out the time settings without SOC. This is my current setup with SOC
  8. Hi all, New Energy looks similar to the Hoselect range....maybe try this link It's RS485A....with these settings, SOC readings on the Inverter matched the Battery BMS SOC.
  9. Hey all, Managed to get this working on a Luxpower SNA5000 and Hoselect Battery LiPo4 48v, 100a. Used the standard RS485 setup.... Inverter - RS485/CAN port PIN 1 = RS485B PIN 2 = RS485A Battery - RS485 port PIN 7 = RS485A PIN 8 = RS485B Battery DIP switches = 1 0 0 0 Battery settings on Luxpower: Battery option 3 - Lithium Battery type - 18 or 21
