    Abnormal got a reaction from Donald Muller in Ridiculous cooling design of Axpert clone inverter   
    Maybe the inverters are supposed to be mounted upside down.

    Abnormal got a reaction from Youda in Axpert King 5Kw and Pylontech communication ports   
    Updated firmware (both main and display)
    Plugged in cable and it works. Thanks guys.
     
    I noticed the battery has made the following changes to the settings.
    Max charging (02) current has been reduced to 10A I had it on 30A I assume it will now fluctuate based on the battery's state of charge it is currently full.
    Float voltage (27) has been set to 53.2v I had it as 50.3v
    Low cutoff (29) has been set to 47v, I was using 46.5v.

    Abnormal got a reaction from Youda in Axpert King Inverter Firmware   
    Managed to update both successfully using a laptop with a com port. Was pretty straightforward.
    U03 version also changed when updating the Panel.
    Old Versions
    U01 - 71.50 U02 - 01.21 U03 - 00.21 U04 - 00.00 After updating the Panel it changed to 
    U01 - 71.50 U02 - 02.00 U03 - 88.88 U04 - 00.00 After updating the the Main  firmware it changed to 
    U01 - 71.86 U02 - 02.00 U03 - 88.88 U04 - 00.00

    These have a quoted 1000 cycles at 50% DOD. Not bad - batteries with training wheels so to speak.
     These have no datasheet I would steer clear of them.

    Abnormal got a reaction from ___ in BYD vs Polytech EOL capacity   
    I have seen that these two batteries stipulate their end of life capacity using a different base of measurement. So I decided to do a comparison.
     
    Pylontech USB2000D 2.4kWh usable 80% DOD
    Usable capacity = 2.4Kwh * 80% = 1.92Kwh
    Cycles at 80% DOD = 6000
    End of life capacity after 6000 cycles at 80% DOD = 60%
    End of life capacity = 2.4 * 60% = 1.44kWh
     
     
    Pylontech USB3000D 3.5kWh usable 80% DOD
    Usable capacity = 3.5Kwh * 80% = 2.8Kwh
    Cycles at 80% DOD = 6000
    End of life capacity after 6000 cycles at 80% DOD = 60%
    End of life capacity = 3.5 * 60% = 2.1kWh
     
     
    BDY 2.56kWh @100% DOD
    Usable capacity = 2.56Kwh * 100% = 2.56Kwh
    Cycles at 100% DOD = 6000
    End of life capacity after 6000 cycles at 100% DOD = 80%
    End of life capacity = 2.56 * 80% = 2.048kWh
     
    Now BYD are publish the usable capacity which must mean that the total capacity of the battery must be more than their published numbers.
    Assuming that their 100% DOD rating is actually only using 80% of the total battery capacity.
    Then this mean that the total capacity is 2.56kWh / 80% = 3.2kWh
    If after 6000 cycles the final capacity is 2.048kWh then
    2.048kWh / 3.2kWh = 64%
    So this means that their end of life capacity of the BYD is 64% of the total capacity
    (or similarly the  Polytech end of life capacity is 75% of the usable capacity)
     
    This makes them look very similar (in terms of cycles and remaining capacity)
    Or of course I could be completely wrong, as i know just enough to make it dangerous 😊
