  1. I would return that one, You can measure the voltage if you open the box. I would not accept the battery with a voltage below 12.6V out of the box.
  2. Thank you kg666 I renamed it to ICC then had to change permissions (As sidewinder suggested on page 5) #cd home/pi/Desktop/ICC# #chmod 755 ICC# Then it worked
  3. Stay within the manufacturers recommended voltages
  4. I am verry new to PI & linux so I might not understand what you said I used the PI image on ICC website. It looks to me that the install is done on the desktop, is this correct ? Can one download the newest version & paste it into the same folder ?
  5. Verry good price Max charging amps for a single string 30A. Max charging for 5kva 60A solar + 60A utility. Just limit the max charging amps in your settings. But my experience you can leave it on 60A due to the agm battery drawing less & less amps the higher the soc. So at 50% DOD the batteries does not pull anything close to 30A. You cannot push amps into a battery. It draws what is required. But you can limit the initial current draw. Yes they will work for you.
  6. Ok I have upgraded. Icc automatically shuts down & I get this. I have tried the sudo ./ICC but does not work
  7. Upgraded at last, when I upgrade through the app, my ICC always stops working & throws some error in the terminal window. So I always re-flash the SD then upgrade with no problem. (I also loose my old data ) I like the graph in dashboard 2
  8. Good day Chris. I have installed a Freedomwon bank on an axpert inverter. Quite easy, they set the BMS parameters a bit further for the axpert (Still within range) you set the charging voltage 55.6V for float & bulk charge. the axpert throws full amps into the batteries & once it reaches the set volts the amps tapers down to about 1A & they are full. Annycase, they are expensive initially. Have a look at these, I think mantech made a booboo with their price on these. I bought x8, 2 weeks ago, with 4 voltage meters on each 12v battery. I also did a H bridge connection between the parallel banks for balancing. The DG range of batteries does about 1100 cycles @ 50% http://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=370M0075
  9. Any one updated to v2.1.6 yet ?
  10. OK, thank you for the feedback V2.1.5 running well so far on USB inverters. Parallel & single. V2.1.5 RS232 through USB converter running well but there are some minor glitches like the PV trend is on the front panel not on the PV tab etc. Funny thing One of the 3 Pi's has the axpert settings (This is new, you can adjust all the axpert settings from ICC) in the settings tab "The single 3kva inverter" the other two was updated the same way but does not have these settings (Mannie confirmed this was only available for 3KVA single unit) Lovely 2nd dashboard with colored analog indicators, can be adjusted as you wish.
  11. Does somebody know if one can easily add a USB port to an old AXPERT 5KVA RS232 only inverter ?
  12. Does anybody know if I can add a usb port to an old 5kva AXPERT RS232 inverter ?
  13. Icc reads the two inverters as a single mppt & plots the values as one. So the graph does not show the mppt "hunting" So my question to the experts, do you think the system is currently producing what is should considering the 4 series panels (4*3)*2 instead of the suggested 3 series panels (3*4)*2 ?
  14. Windows 10 also works with watch power
  15. Well there are only 1 mppt per inverter. Not two. But we have two inverters. Can ICC show the PV volts & amps of both inverters independantly ? Currently its flashing the one then the other every 3-4 seconds on mppt1, mppt2 is always 0. Can it be that the west side is the high amps & the east side the low amps at that time of day ? So early in the morning there is a huge difference, midd day no difference & late it goes to the difference in amps of east & west strings ?
