@JMM, sorry but I don't know🤷🏻‍♂️

Neither, my 12v setup still serving the loadshedding purpose until I save up enough to upgrade with solar panels

Dongle still available...previous purcaser returned it as the serial number was still showing as in use by me. I managed to get to guys at SmartESS to delete that expired data from their server so the dongle is ready for resale/re-use.

So I did get the wifi dongle that works with my inverter! Amazing device that provides so much more live data & history for analysis of my usage patterns etc. It's extremely useful for battery percentage available as I had to manually calculate voltage available. The SmartESS app does this automatically based on the max charge & cut-off values specified for the user defined battery settings. Also, the app allows you to edit the inverter settings on the fly & monitor usage on any browser

I'm currently upgrading my 12v portable setup for a 48v db board setup & have narrowed it down to the 3 inverters mentioned in the subject line. Anybody with experience on either of them? Pros & Cons? Conderenergy 6.2kW Pros (R6200) 1. Price 2. Higher output (6.2kW) 3. Dual output power Ecco 5.5kW Pros (R6850) 1. 5 year repair warranty 2. Connecting cables MUST 5kW Pros (R6999) 1. Multiple communication ports (wifi + battery) 2. Parallel connectivity for possible future expansion. Any guidance will be appreciated. UPS/battery will be used until I can add solar.

Is an additional DC breaker/fuse required between battery & inverter if the battery already has a breaker? NB: This is for a portable trolley setup

I'm currently using it as a UPS & the transfer time from grid to battery has been sufficient enough so I was hoping that the overload bypass would be good enough for me to connect it straight to the db board so that there's never an issue while the grid is available but I know now that it's not feasible...bigger inverter required.

It's a Chinese inverter branded Inkwenkwezi... I tested adding a 2kw load after your reply & it beeped with a fault code.

Not yet, I've ordered another one from Ali Express that appears to be compatible with my Chinese inverter

Connectivity between the DataLogger<-->Router<-->Server all work on SmartESS but there is no communication between my inverter & the DataLogger

Item: WiFi Module for Conderenergy Inverters Age: 8 hours old from when I received it... Price: R750 or nearest cash offer...paid R780 Payment Method Accepted: Cash/EFT/Geopayment Packaging: Yes Condition: Nearly New (Opened box to test, connected to my inverter, found out it was not compatible) Location: Johannesburg Reason: Incompatibility with my inverter...Compatible with 6.2kva Conderenergy Inverter out of the box & if you are comfortable enough to repin the RS-232/RJ-485/RJ-45 then should be compatible with most inverters with COMM ports...I am not hence the sale Shipping: Yes, at buyers expense Collection: Yes, Clearwater Mall Link: Cam$ - 083 200 6330

Sorry for the newbie questions but isn't the purpose of the fuse to prevent surges either way (input/output)? There are only 2 cables (+/-) going into the inverter so where would the 2 fuses be installed? One on each cable? Also, shouldn't it matter if it's connected in series/parallel? The calculation for the required fuse that I found online is (rated power / voltage) × 1.25 Would those 2 suggested fuses be half of the total size each? In my head, 1 fuse makes more sense but I'm sure somebody will correct me if i'm wrong...my 2c

I used to think it was just a LAN cable & was ready to plug it straight into my wifi router...until I read more on it🤦🏽‍♂️

The cable I could've tried but I need that as well as the actual dongle?

Item Found: RJ-485 (RS-232 that is RJ-45 type) Inverter Wifi Dongle Packaging Essential: No Desired Age: Any Location: Johannesburg Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes Ballpark/Budget Amount: R500 Even if some has one to lend me in JHB, that would be fine. I just want to test the 1 COMM port that my inverter has for wifi access before I order one online as it would be a waste to order online & it's not compatible.
