  2. Thanks, it's a challenge to make a decision on a wall charger if the manual is not available for download.
  3. Definitely a typo, same size as a US3000C
  4. Some chargers have a built in RCD, if this is the case would you still need an upgraded RCD on your main board?
  5. They are the low voltage ones, max DC input voltage is 145v. See pic below. I tend to agree, haven't given me any issues, I purchased spare units thinking my current 2 would fail but they are still solid and going. I'm looking to upgrade as my PHEV needs charging and want to put install a decent charger.
  6. Price drop: R11k for all 4 Picture of the 2 currently in use.
  7. Hey all, I recently had a warranty replacement of a US3000C and received the US3000D module. Unfortunately the ICM software which was still working for me for years is now struggling to gather BMS data for my stack from the US3000D which is my new master unit. I was just wondering if anyone has an updated firmware for this unit? I have noticed the firmware console commands does not include all commands from previous generations. It does have the new charging voltages, etc as per the last firmware update for the US3000C. I also noticed it has board NF4.E3 which is different to some of my US3000C modules with board NF4.E2 I executed some familiar commands from the console. Some commands did not work, so it seems the firmware has not implemented previous commands. BatteryView v3.0.24/28/37 does not show scaned data even on its UI, only command line interaction worked to some degree. Not sure if there is a later version of BatteryView that caters for this US3000D. pylon_debug>info info @ Manufacturer : Pylon Device name : US3000D Board version : Board : NF4.E3 Main Soft version : B1.4.0.0 Soft version : V1.1 Boot version : V0.02 Comm version : V2.0 Release Date : 25-11-13 Barcode : (I removed my barcode for obvious reasons) Specification : 48V/74AH Cell Number : 15 Max Dischg Curr : -70000mA Max Charge Curr : 70000mA EPONPort rate : 1200 Console Port rate : 115200 Command completed successfully $$ pylon_debug>pwrsys pwrsys @ Recommend chg voltage : 52800 mV Recommend dsg voltage : 45000 mV Recommend chg current : 15000 mA Recommend dsg current : -37000 mA Command completed successfully $$ pylon_debug>pwr pwr @ ---------------------------- Power Voltage : 49823 mV B+B-.Volt : 49771 mV Current : -814 mA Temperature : 23500 mC Coulomb : 85 % Total Coulomb : 74000 mAH Max Voltage : 57600 mV Charge Times : 0 Basic Status : Dischg Discharge Sec. : 0 s Volt Status : Normal Current Status : Normal Tmpr.

  11. I do exactly the same. It would be really nice to have a way to query what your outstanding fees are and also just settle that amount every month. I dont need the 62.5 units per month, its accumulating now as I'm over 300 units and growing... lol

  16. Is there a way to determine your outstanding service fee?

  20. Certainly not. My Pylons US2000B, US2000C & US3000C's are hooked up on my old Axpert 5KVA inverters without any comms cables.

  23. Here you are... the latest I managed to find for both old and new chip. From the bin file for the new chip(v2.2), it just seems they refactored some code, so no major changes from v2.1. I noticed there is also support for UP5000 as well on these versions. US_C_stV2.9_NTV2.2Crc.zip
  24. There are 3 commands that you can try: socclr clear bq34z100 data flash and reload default value - socclr statc Clear statistic - statc datac Clear data - datac [event/history] The easiest would be to re-flash the firmware even if its the same version but ensure that the "Clear EEPROM" box is checked before clicking "Program"

  27. Hi all, Just purchased a new US3000C to add to my bank and it has the newer chipset with v2.2 firmware on it. Does anyone have this firmware file as I see the effekta link below only has v2.1 https://www.effekta.com/download/firmwareupdate-for-us2000c-3000c/

  30. i would recommend the FTDI chipset for those cables. Don't use a cheap cable, they are not reliable.
  31. I'm interested to know the difference as well. Any update here?
  32. Item: Axpert 4kw/5kva x 4(Various brands but all compatible, they are NOT the clones/knock offs) Age: from 2018 onwards, I did not purchase them all at the same time. Price: R22k for all 4 Payment Method Accepted: EFT, funds to be cleared before goods handed over. Condition: Good, all in working order Location: Jhb Reason: Upgrade Shipping: At the buyers cost and risk. Collection: Yes Warranty: None I have 4 x Axpert 4kw/5kva inverters. I currently only use 2 of them in parallel and 2 are backups. All are fully functional with the latest firmware from the Australian forum. They all have parallel cards in them and i have all the relevant cables required too. The 2 in use are paired up with my 10 x Pylontech battery bank. Looking to upgrade to a Sunsynk inverter. Any takers? Willing to accept R22000 for all 4. Please PM me.
