Meneer

Hi Everyone. So I've had a perfectly working system for a while with this inverter with 2x Shoto batteries. Yesterday we added another battery. The dip switches were changed as per the attached image, batteries reset and the new RS485 cable attached. The inverter is however still reading 200ah capacity, not 300. What else could be the issue here? We tried other network patch cables and swapped them around, nothing seems to update the reading. With the two batts, on the first bat (master) the RS485B was linked to the A port of the 2nd bat, So we repeated this pattern, but also swapped it around to see if it makes a difference. Anything we might be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

That is a shame. If I had know I'd rethink my inverter/battery combo.

@Tiaan Vermeulen The easiest solution for me in regards to getting the BMS working was to buy a Shoto RS485 Cable that works directly with Solar Assistant and plugs into the device itself instead of the inverter. Then the dip switches need to be set on the front the of the batteries, below is the link, it's pretty straight forward: https://solar-assistant.io/help/battery/seplos-bms This is how it shows up in Solar Assistant then (only have one battery connected currently) Perhaps someone else can comment on the LIB/LIC settings, I have not seen that on mine either as far as I remember.

@Coulomb Thank you for the reply. I will take another screenshot that perhaps has more info. When I ask SA to read the battery values from the inverter, SOC, capacity etc is all incorrect, only the voltage is the correct statistic. So I assume the CAN communication between the batteries and inverter is not working as intended? The electrician did change the DIP switches on the batteries at the time of the install so that it can communicate with the inverter, but it didn't seem to do anything. I found other DIP switch settings on Solar Assistant's website for the RS486 port, which I now use and it all shows up perfectly there. For reference is there perhaps DIP switch settings for these two batteries to communicate via CAN, to make sure they did in fact set them correctly the first time?

Hi everyone, I've seen various other topics on the matter but they seem to be rather oldish so I'm looking for up to date info. I have the above inverter along with 2x Shoto SDC 10 Box 5 batteries. Currently I am using Solar Assistant to read the battery values as the inverter seems to be incapable, at least that's what I'm seeing. Does any of the newer firmwares support this battery's BMS? I am unsure if the screen on the kodak shows other info which is needed, but I have attached a screenshot of the inverter's data on SA. Looking forward to some more information regarding this.
