    My inverter is installed in my garage and during summer it gets quite hot in Bloemfontein. When you park a hot car in there it gets even hotter. I realized the Inverter DC side reached temperatures of near 90 degrees during midday. I installed 3 x 120mm computer fans on top with a temperature controller switching the fans on and off. The thermistor is attached to the heatsink. The heatsink temperature is about 20 degrees below the internal temperature indicating by the app. With the fans the temperature stays below 60 degrees.
    I 3D printed the bracket and bought the temperature controller from an online store for under R200 with a 12V powersupply. Is anybody is interested visit Thingiverse:Thing6468217 to get the STL files for the bracket. (Search Sunsynk 5kW)

    It's very advisable. All you have to do is to change (01) to SBU and then enter all the parameters for the battery.  You find those settings in various posts of the forum.

    Just pointing this out, but 12v 200Ah @ 50% DoD is 4.8kWh at best.  (probably 20 hour rating).  With Peukert's law you have even less capacity than that, but let's call it 4.8kWh to keep things simple.  Since it has lasted so long, I doubt you've been draining down to 50% every time.
    10kWh Lithium is a bit overkill for you to be honest.  You could get a single 5kWh Lithium and call it a day.

    I went from 4x 12v 100Ah to 5.8kWh Lithium.  I'm making coffee, watching TV (with home entertainment, etc. draining about 500w), got my lights on, vacuuming, all kinds of stuff and not even getting to 50% DoD on my Lithium battery.  When I was still on lead acid I was careful not to turn anything but lights on during load shedding and near the end barely made it through a load shedding (and couldn't do it twice in a day).  Lithium is a significant upgrade, I just don't even care what I turn on anymore, even during load shedding.

    Benji got a reaction from Cornel101 in Sunsynk inverter not communicating with Freedom Lite 10/8   
    I got this sorted out with some help from Freedom won batteries. It turns out a normal ethernet cable as supplied with the Sunsynk inverter doesn’t work. So whats needed is the following. The normal ethernet plugs (RJ45) Pin 7 of battery goes to pin 4 of inverter and Pin 8 of battery goes to pin 5 of inverter. You don’t need the other wires.

    Genade , this feels like ages ago , I had to go and dig deep to find some some of the files. 
    As said by TTT no support and I dont even know if any of these two files actually works. But here you go.
    Here is the Two Links :
    AICC 1
    AICC _ Debug
    If , and that is a big if , I remember correctly you just run the .EXE  file and then do the config in the Application. - Good luck !
