Hi, I am using a LuxPower SNA5000 with HOSELECT 4.8kWh. My issue was that suddenly the battery would report 100% SOC at less and less voltage until it would not charge past 48V. Unfortunately I bought this battery from the wrong people. The guy I'm talking to is a HUGE @$$ and obviously nothing more than a salesman. Makes me wonder if selling this type of equipment should not require a green card - he does not understand the difference between Lead Acid and Lithium, or what a BMS is. So I am on my own here. I've manually charged it up now to 53.3V (pack voltage param in pbms) using a Kodak inverter with user AGM settings (was unable to get it to communicate with BMS). Now back on Luxpower after 3 cycles it seems to be charging fine again to the proper voltage. Now my question, does anybody know who I can contact with regard to obtaining a firmware update for this battery? The sales guy obviously won't help and I am unable to find any information on Hoselect batteries. Current firmware version is P13S120A-21347-1.0.0. Maybe it will work properly now and an update might no be necessary. But as I said it happened gradually so I will keep an eye on it, but want to be prepared with an updated firmware if an one exists. Cheers!

Hi, ever figured out where to get this "verification code"? This is really ridiculous that I am not allowed to update my own damned equipment. Who the hell do they think they are? Now I have to pray for a reply from the supplier whose customer service sucks.

Hi, Is this not the reason for the B-type RCD (earth leakage protection against residual AC currents, pulsating DC currents and smooth DC currents) being specified (IEC 62109-1) as the only RCD to be used with inverters? Edit: I was looking for these the other day but could not find any. Anybody knows where to buy in SA?
