I've updated my batteries

Hheheh Anyone here that could point me in the right direction ?? I've replaced my Bats finally.

Hiya, I just installed x2 Hubble lithium Ion batteries and couldn't be happier, I also have an axpert 3k inverter

Hi All, I'm getting ready to replace my batteries for my Mecer Axpert 3000VA Pure Sine Inverter, to upgrade my Lead Acid to Lithium. I've decided on the Hubble S120A 120Ah 1.5kWh 12V LifePO4 Lithium Battery - FIRST LIFE CELLS from Geewiz, which I've been ensured will work with my inverter if I get a balancer. Now the next step would be solar, for a new person... where would one find guidance on starting this. Thanks a bunch!

@Acuario Thanks for your explanation it seems like you have this down by a science heheheh I can see my inverter stats on watchpower so the COMM port works, but that stops with communication with the inverter like you said. are there programs like these available commercially ?

Thanks @GreenMan@Scorp007 @TaliaB @Acuario I kinda hijacked @Pat de Klerk post, which I'm sorry for, I'm getting the idea that getting the lithium is a good route to go and will be ok to us with the system I currently have, still a little bit confused about @Acuario comment "Personally I have designed a system that monitors the SOC of the batteries via the BMS and uses this to trigger a charge." Is this what the battery balancer is responsible for ? Kind Regards!!! (System I have https://www.geewiz.co.za/long-run-ups-inverter-battery/93614-3000va-mecer-axpert-pure-sine-inverter-2x-100ah-battery-trolley-8-hour-battery-life-kit-3000w-150-200-cycles.html)

@TaliaBso what I am understanding is, I will need to get a electrician to install the batteries, if I go with the 2x LIFEP04 batteries with the balancer, as an coulomb meter is required, else I will need to charge the batts separately to an 100%, before connecting to the inverter unit in series, and do this every 6 months. Thanks for trying to explain, I'm still super noob.

Hey Pat, I have a similar inverter a Mecer Axpert Type 3000VA (3000W) PURE Sine Wave Inverter (1200W PWM Solar Controller) and am here to learn! I've contacted Geewiz support (where I bought mine) and they recommended the below, They also provided some settings changes if I should make the upgrade; 2 x https://www.geewiz.co.za/lithium-ion-batteries/184556-securi-prod-100ah-128v-12v-lithium-ion-lifepo4-battery-first-life-1280kwh.html 1 x https://www.geewiz.co.za/hubble-battery-balancer/185924-lithium-24v-battery-balancer-equaliser-suitable-for-all-battery-types-24v.html With the increase in loadshedding I think this is the right move to make, I'm also looking into more options for batteries! Please anyone make suggestions I'm not at sure of what Im talking about.
