  2. Victron is half the price it was last year in my Country. The Victron Multiplus II 48/5000/70-50 you can buy here new for 850€ and the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 is for 250€ to buy. So you are right, Victron is a very good produkt. I have had a IMEON and because i have had so much trouble with the company i sold all and buy Victron. I can tell you it was the best i could do, all work fine now and i do all by myself. Also many people buy a Deye Hybrid and it shoulsd also be good for DIY Have a good time and a great start in 2024
  3. Hello Dr.LoLcat, i write before that i make a mistake, because i use other software the OS.One and I say sorry about, Those who can read have a clear advantage 😍 But look good the pro mode, respect Regrads

  5. Hello, your Battery Voltage is low for 91% SOC, If you have more than 1 Battery you should load them one times single to max and do that with both and bring them then again together. if you have done this, we do next. And lock at your settings in inverter menue, maybe you spend 50 W to feed in grid. Regrads Bernd
  6. If you make a DIY Battery project, than buy 20 Cells if you need 16, what happend in 5 years if one cell is damage, where to get one of this speci cells in 5 years? So you can make a 12 Volt car battery or for campng with the 4 cells. You taje the best for your project and the other is reserve. Than you have no problem. Regards
  7. Maybee you should take a look at seplos BMS menue Point 81 maybe, test it or ask seplos Good luck, if it not work today, use the night to think about and look tomorrow again, and again and again. One day it will work. Greatings
  8. It is both Patrick, it is like a hobby and i save a lot of money. If you build your own 280Ah Battery with 48 V you are less than 2.700$, if you buy a case also you have 3000$ for a lot of power, make a double and you have enought. (28kWh /6000$€) If something went wrong, you can fix it, because you built it and know how it work. Also you are more sensible by using power, here in Europa nothing is normal anymore, no more culture and respect. All crazy here. We will become a energy problem here if the green party and klimachange stupid is not over in a few month. The price for Energy rises and is double in one year, so thinks change fast . I like to be my own master and not say to the govement, please help me. The only they do is to rob you more . But it is also ok to buy a battery from company and have no problems if you use them normal. (80 % cost, 20 % hobby)
  9. If you have a seplos BMS you can use Battery Monitor from seplos, if you are connected you can change many options. Look at the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10pxgNLHovcDZRVGrCZsSkfecBrRw-AdW there you can read in PDF for your BMS. If you have a 100Ah BMS with Can o 485, you find all there. password is Admin and key also Admin You find all options in Upload parameter. I hope it helps If not, ask seplos, they are very friendly. Regards
  10. Hello DeonBez, the Box for the Seplos is so great, i love it. I use the IMEON Inverter and they (the support) dont talk or answere Emails. So i am at my own. After Fedex delivered the Seplos i start to build a battery to take a look if it´s works. I also ordered the Mason Box and will be here in end November maybe. So i start testing and write to seplos support. The write that the Imeon Inverter works well. But they are friedly and write every night at 2 am and i answer at 8 am. They want that i use the Dyness profil, but it did not work, so i test every profil. With Pylontech the discharge work well, but the charge use only 5 Ah. So i tested more and read the profil from WECO Battery 5K3. Perfect profil and work fine in charge and discharge. If anyone use Imeon and will build a DIY Battery with Seplos BMS via CAN connection use the WECO Profil. You have to put the Ground from pin 8 to Pin 3 from Seplos BMS and The CAN H and CAN L at 4 and 5 is ok from Imeon Inverter. Hope anybody can use the info, I have download the Print file for Seplos BMS Have fun and if it doesn't work try again the next day and it will work in a day
  11. Dear GavinS, I made a mistake, I'm communicating with the Imeon via OS.ONE software via Wireless Internet access. It is very different look from Imeon manager software as you can see in the picture, but it is the same. I will Test the Imeon Manager Software you use again and write back in a few days. I'm also dissatisfied with the OS.ONE software, I can't do what I want there either. I've been struggling with a problem for 4 weeks, the support in France hasn't also been able to solve until now. If I set a SOC Discarge stop of 40 or 50% and the discharge has reached that point, the inverter will charge and discharge simultaneously until morning and the SOC will drop another 8-15% in the process. The problem seems to come from the Water Heater app, which I already disabled in wintertime, but the App remnants seem to be causing it. Stupid thing. I am so sorry that I can´t help you. Regards
  12. Hi In the pro mode you would have to click on the button on the top right on "about" and then you click on advanced settings. You have to click on the writing, there is no button. So straight to the writing. Hope you understood me and it works. the Etienne software doesn't work for me maybe you can generate a code and send it to me? LG
  13. Hello =sT3V3= you don't necessarily need an additional balancer, but the balancer built into the BMS only works with 150mA. In my opinion, this is not enough for the memory size, so I bought an additional balancer to be able to balance the cells better. And the $50 the balancer costs is disproportionate to the overall investment. I hope you find what you need for your 24V system. The risk of buying from China shops has been limited here in Europe if you follow a few safety rules. LG from Germany
  14. Hello, I'm the new one here, I've had an IMEON 3.6 inverter for 1 year, which I'm running with 4 x 2.4 Kwh Imeon 4850 batteries. In addition, I use the retrofit system from Imeon to use the power of an older Growatt TL3-X 7000. Anything I can't use myself, I send to the power grid. That works really well, but since the ecological madness is in the government in Europe, especially here in Germany, and the instinct for self-preservation is no longer there, power shortages and very high inflation are the daily bread. I wanted to buy another 2-4 batteries of 2.4 Kwh each from Imeon in France, but the price more than doubled in 6 months. Now I want to build my own battery bank and hope that maybe someone here has experience with it. Specially with Imeon Inverter. I ordered 16 Lifepo 4 280 Ah batteries in China and also ordered a Mason DIY kit from Seplos. Seplos usually makes BMS systems and there you can set everything that is important to charge/discharge and maintain the batteries. What I have found out so far, you need an additional active balancer to keep the cell voltage the same for all 16 cells. Imeon himself is very reluctant to build batteries himself and would of course like to sell his own. Seplos states that the Imeon Inverter is compatible, but I would like to have more access to the important settings on the inverter. When installing the Imeon Inverter there are 2 passwords which are as follows: User password allows access to a simplified interface Email: user@local Password: password Installer profile allows access to an interface with some additional parameters Email: installer@local Password: Installer_P4SS I'll post the links to the products below so that anyone who's interested knows what I'm talking about As already mentioned, charging and discharging with the small Inverter 3.6 works really well, since it also steps in during the day and supplies the consumers with electricity when it rains in between or a few clouds disturb the solar yield. Imeon works with a Linux system, in which it starts the apps to tell the inverter what to do. Since several apps are running at the same time, there can be interference between the individual apps where the support from the French could be improved. Especially if you don't speak French and there's only a French woman on the phone who speaks your native language and that's it. It just takes time via email and is also not perfect. Can someone send me the password for deeper settings? Is probably one with the daily date at the end. like Growatt20221009 for the TX3-7000. but I don't know exactly for Imeon Does anyone here have more experience with my problem? Of course I could have just bought 4 more battery racks, but the price for 4 pcs including shipping and tax is around $6-6,500 for a total capacity of 200Ah. For self-construction with the 16S BMS system and the 280Ah 3.2 V batteries including the Mason Kit where everything is included, I can get there with the freight from China and tax for $3000. So 80Ah more and only half to pay. Money doesn't grow on trees for me either. I would appreciate a reply, maybe we can help each other.
