    BdJ got a reaction from SpankyZA in SunSynk 5kW, 8kW and 12kW latest firmware version   
    Requested my 5kw to be upgraded, yesterday around the 2pm mark, all power was cut in the house. However the inverter was still kicking, noticed the "On" turning into B and started counting.

    It was updated to 3.3.8.2, will test and play with the screens. Not sure what was changed yet

    Keep an eye on this thread. 

    You are not on the latest - there are newer versions out for master & comms for the 5kW Sunsynk.

    Scheduled an update on firmware this morning at around (1Feb)10:00am SAST for my SunSynk 8kw. Code was applied on the inverter at around (1Feb)13:15pm SAST.
    from: COMM:e41c - MCU:6006  to COMM:E426 - MCU:6022-0717
    Some new menus, display. No issues to report yet all seems to work as normal. (total off-grid). There are no AC out while the code applies to the Inverter ROM, you can actually see the progress of the code applying on the main screen. (round green circle).

    AFAIK, your installer is correct, the BMS controls the inverter charge / discharge etc.
    This can be seen in the LiBMS screen.

    I am a bit confused... my Hubble AM2 was installed mid December last year.  I checked the Voltages when I saw the threads with the SOC probelems.  I asked my installer why my settings differ from the Hubble website.  He said that the BMS configures those voltages.  My current Voltages are as follows:
    Float V: 55.2V
    Absorption V: 57.6V
    Equalization V: 57.6V
    Discharge Amps: 120A
     
    State of charge has been stable since first installed and the SOH is also still at 100%, so I hope it stays there!  Sorry if this is a bit of a hijack...
    Regards,
    Matthys

    With Hubble, the BMS will prevent charge when going from 100%->95%.
    This can be seen on the LiBMS screen:

    In the first image, the battery went from 100% -> 99% (due to no PV and load), the BMS tell SunSynk "Charge current limit: 0A", which prevents charging.
    This changes at about 95%.

    The correct values for AM2 are at https://www.hubblelithium.co.za/sunsynk

    You might want to consider lower values:
    Values like 10%, 15%, 20%
    I use 5%, 7%, 10%

    Shutdown: Inverter goes into standby mode
    Low Batt: Inverter stops using battery [Load will go off]
    Restart: When charging, AC output will resume when this is reached.

    The biggest issue with AM-2 is to ensure you have working firmware.
    Some batches had firmware where the SoH went down quickly, was fixed with a firmware update.

    TIP: PBMStools is quite useful utility to see individual cells.
    Use the RS485/modbus -> RJ12/RJ11 cable (same as Solar-Assistant)

    >However, all that said, I'm not sure if my settings are correct? The battery's DIP switch has been set to 1 on, 2,3,4 off. 
    Download the AM-2 manual from here: https://www.hubblelithium.co.za/am-series

    BdJ reacted to WAP in Jumped on the Sunsynk + Hubble wagon, Am I doing it right?   
    No, fsck them! The cloudlink has zero use for the end user. They tried to fix my battery via the cloudlink and i had to take the battery in to them at the end.
    The cloudlink won't fix anything. That is by itself. It just allows them to connect to the battery and change parameters. So they "might" be able to fix something. 
    I also have a synsynk and hubble system at my fathers place that always charges to only 97-98% and i have done everything i could with hubble support and via the cloudlink. Still no fix. I just gave up and left it runing like that.

    I use a SunSynk 5Kw with a Greenrich battery, and it floats between 99% and 100% (grid or solar.) It must be something to do with the BMS floating - not over charging. It only happens at 99-100%
    Check my batter below - I set different SOC minimums for time of day (to reduce my reliance on grid as much as possible.) When set to 80% SOC, its perfect. When set to 100% - its hovers between 99% and 100%.

    On the "Battery Charge" tab set:
    Float = 52.6V
    Absorption V = 53.6V
    Equalization V = 53.5 V
    My Hubble's still have a SOH of 100%.

    I am sure @Leshenwill be able to check your basic settings,  he has done a number of Sunsunk/Hubble systems.
