  1. Blue Nova Mobile Series Lithium Iron Phosphate 13V-82Ah-1K Battery The Mobile Power Series (MPS) range is perfectly positioned as a drop-in replacement for Lead Acid batteries Does this mean you can string them series or parallel as if lead acid Can these batteries be used with the Axpert VM 1000-12 for a small UPS for a computer, a tv and/or few led lights recharging from mains and maybe later a solar panel?
  2. Lekker in die Kalahari 60 jaar gelede op Sishen myn gewek net voor 9maande diensplig
  3. But as other commentators said "take it with a pinch of salt
  4. Thanks KM Interesting comparing the two graphs I am at 33deg 41 south north facing roof at 30 degrees 12 x JA Solar 405W Mono Panels Sunsynk 5.5 Kw Yesterday was a hot clear sunny day Max power produced 4.55 kW And for the day 34.9kWh
  5. I just dont seem to get my head around the relationships between Energy/ month Used Purchased On Grid Generation How do they jive? Used seems obvious as well as Generation But then we have Power/ day Current Purchased On Grid Grid where current seems to be production and grid power seems to be total effect on the grid used being positive and negative being feed back
  6. As I now have investment in two setups, Axpert and 6 panels with a 24 v lithium battery and of late a sunsynk with a 48v lithium battery, I want to use both at the best efficiency possible. One way is to see the axpert as a turbine serving the sunsynk. Does this make any sense
  7. Correct, before I acquired the sunsynk 48v I installed an axpert 24 volt at the moment I am splitting the loads between the two It would make more sense to use the axpert as aux and manage all the loads via the sunsynk
  8. Is it possible to use the feed from another inverter using 24V batteries as input to the Aux on Sunsynk
  9. I have been trying but have not been able to find the address to the data I have solarman running on my pc but nowhere it has a link to enable a data download Can you please direct me
  10. Is there a way to download the data that the sunsynk inverter accumulates
  11. I notice you do not have any Red Wiggler Worms (Eisenia foetida) Red Wigglers are by far the most popular choice of composting worm for a lot of reasons, firstly because they can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, unlike African Night Crawlers. The second reason is that they are top feeders making them ideal for modern multilevel worm farms available at most nurseries. In your food chain JohanG
  12. Sunsynk shows Bond relay connected to ATS 240 I assume it is a positive and negative The Ats label on the sunsynk has three coupling points see photo It seems one must connect the 3rd and the 1st from the left is this correct ?
  13. Kenton on sea has always had a water shortage 40 years ago the houses had cement tanks with hand pumps Today its plastic tanks and electric pumps I have 4 x 10000l and a pump that I run off solar As the town water used to have a bad taste the toilets were fed from the town and all the rest from the tanks So I only feed the toilets with town water and filter the water for drinking and cooking, unfiltered for bathing and washing. Can switch all feeds to municipal or tanks
  14. First What would be an equivalent Victron setup? Power Inverter MKS 5000VA/5000W 48VDC O/P 230VAC Pure Sine Wave 80A Built-in MPPT Float Charge Voltage:64VDC Maximum Charge Current:140A O/P Surge Power 10000VA Second What makes the Victron the better choice or is it just a question of pride I do not have the knowledge or interest to play with patches like Coulomb and others on the forum and around here the local support is quite limited Does the Victron have to be tweaked or is it more straight forward?
  15. Not good news !!!!!!!!!!!! It does seem as if this only happens when the battery is fully charged .... could this indicate some type of fault?
  16. No error is displayed but the lights rapidly switches on and off as the axpert beeps ?? Now all is quit I must say for some reason the load watts on Centurion spiked significantly compared to previous days
  17. Been living with the problem as it occurs irregularly BUT It now seems that someone else has had the same problem When the battery reaches close to full charge 97/98% for some reason it switches the solar panels off then an error is detected and this then repeats. The same occurs early morning when the sun comes out and one can hear the inverter switching but no error is activated Coulomb .... what do you think??
  18. I have taken off the "Lens Cover" off those that turned brown and replaced the LEDs and up to now they are working without issues (Right hand image in photo)
  19. I have had questions about stand alone Backup Power Supply For Home to power a few lights and the tv. Not everybody can afford all the bells and whistles Where to start and what should one lookout for eg Lithium444 Power Pack By Flexopower on Takealot
  20. Left with cover Right cover removed and it works fine
  21. I have removed the plastic lens/cover and the led is fully functional Maybe I should use them without the cover I think what is happening is that the plastic starts to discolour even very slightly this causes heat buildup and it just gets worse going into a destructive cycle
  22. It seems that leds do not like spikes ... so the circuit that it is on must only be the leds At the moment I am manually switching to and from solar using a 2 Pole Change Over Disconnector (have an unresolved problem with my Axpert) while the lights are on. Can this cause a spike
