  2. Wishing for a full recovery.
  3. True. I bought 2 x 1000W trolleys for my Mom for backup 2 years ago. First thing I did was remove the Gel batteries and replace them with 8 x Lithium cells each (200Ah). Both running on cheap Daly BMS.

  11. My 280Ah Apexium with Seplos bms drifted to 156mv over a year at the extreme top of the charging cycle. I decided to do something about it this weekend and charged the 2 lagging cells with a XY-SK80. It only took a few hours to almost bring it in line again.... Seems the drift was quite small, looking at the time it took to sort out.
  12. Yes, Sunsynk sent me a new card which I replaced and sent them the old one back. They made it clear that the onus was on me to replace it correctly.

  16. I finally took the plunge and installed a 5.4kW ITS heat pump. Seeing the daily load drop by approx: 6kWh is a pleasure. This 6kWh is the amount of grid power that I used to have to buy in every day.

    I purchased the Pace RS232 USB to RJ11 cable from SolarAssistant, Loaded BMS Tools HS2.03 (Any PBMS Tools software works) The ethernet cable used for master and slave is a normal straight-through network cable.

    Yep, I actually know that. I should have stated that the Fivestar and Sunmagic batteries are made by the same manufacturer. (rumoured to be Felicity solar)

    Thanks for this info. I purchased 2 cheap SunMagic 150Ah batteries to test out, and apparently, they are also manufactured by FiveStar. Though the booklet that came with is exactly the same as the Felicity Solar battery, it actually has a Pace bms in. After much battling using the Felicity BMS wiring, I wired up using the Pace, and voila.....all good.
  28. I have an 8kW Deye On low load it also stays on about 51/53W. I will check on the higher loads later today.
