Hi Jacques, I have an almost identical problem. two US3000s that stopped working (I suspect a power surge via the earth). I'd be interested in having then repaired. Haven't been able to find a repairer yet.

Thanks, guys. I came right with Live-stainable in Pretoria.

Thanks Jason, have asked Philip to invoice me. Will pay first thing as soon as I receive the invoice and will collect in person from Segen thereafter. Oh, wait... did I get that wrong? Oops. Trust you are well?

AKA Newsphere Solar...

How about The Power Store? Anyone had any dealings with them?

Yeah... all the warning signs are there. Let me EFT them R15K... NOT!

Nothing? You guys have nothing?

Anything on

Interesting. So the Turkish Lira is about 2:1 to the ZAR... So about R360 per pack... Maybe worth taking the risk...

I officially give up. My situation has gone from bad to worse. Who, in Johannesburg, can I call in to assist?

I really wouldn't hesitate to pay someone to come sort this out for me on-site. I see there is a 'new' inverter repair place on Bram Fischer across the road (almost) from Franks Burgers. For now I seem to have 'rehabilitated' my bank of 4 3.5kw batteries, but I'm still struggling with the bank of 2 2.4kw batteries. I am completely in the dark re cell voltages.

I dabbled in the balancing act this weekend, got cocky, and managed to shut down most of my second (good) bank of batteries until 18h00 last evening. Made it through the night on a small supplementary genny (emulating two fully charged batteries via a pair of 52V power supplies). Let's see what today brings.

Thanks. I'll be trying to balance tomorrow. I have two battery banks (4x3.5 US3000 + 4x2.4 US2000). According to the Youtube vids I should be OK by balancing each bank whilst disconnected from the inverter and with the Can Bus cables disconnected. I'll give it a bash and see what happens.

My batteries are easily 5 years old. SOH sitting at 90%. How do I balance the batteries. The Deye inverter does all the charging so I have no real idea beyond 100% at 53.2V.

Hi guys, So my older Pylontech 2.4s (3 out of the 4) and one of my newer 3.5s are starting to have issues. They charge up to 100%, but then once the start discharging they fall off a cliff. What to do?
