Ok thanks that makes sense.

Hi all. I have now twice seen my lithium battery showing 94% SOC but the inverter has stopped charging. Normally after load shedding my battery will go down to about 78% and charge up for about 45 mins when Eskom returns to 100%. Both are Esener units and the settings are correct and talking via the RS485 connection. Should SOC always be 100% or is there other factors the inverters checks to decide when to stop charging ? Battery has had 3 cycles so far so brand new.

Thanks will mail them

Hi Guys Been lurking for a while and installed an Esener 5.5k inverter which is pretty much a rebadged Axpert and Mecer unit from what I can tell. Coupled to that I have a Esener 5.1 Lithium battery. Both being Esener it was pretty much plug and play and so far even stage 6 has been n breeze and without solar panels yet. I did the install myself and so far my only issue is the Wifi dongle that must talk to the SmartESS "server". I connected the Wifi Plug Pro data logger to the inverter as per instructions. I can then connect to the data logger via my phones wifi. So far I have managed to : Create an SmartESS account Connect to the wifi datalogger Connect the wifi datalogger to my wifi router at home The app shows the datalogger is connected to the device (inverter) and the router but not the server. The 4th SRV light does not illuminate on the data logger. I read that the data is sent at intervals so I also waited an hour but still no data being sent to the app. I also disabled the 5G wifi setting on my router thus only having 2.4GHZ connection, no luck. Also tried connecting to another wifi router that is an extension of the main one. The datalogger is about 2m away from the wifi router so cant be a signal issue. All out other devices at home uses the wifi routers just fine. I followed the video below as well as the pamphlet that came with my inverter. Any suggestions will be appreciated ! Setup starts at 2mins
