Hi Kokerot Yes it is, please send me your number or you can reach out to me. Thanks David

INVERTERS:LUXPOWER SNA5000 5kW Eco-Hybrid Inverter 48V Single Phase (Incl WiFi Dongle) with a Shoto 5.12kWH Lithium Ion Battery 48V – 100AH Age: Invertor is a year old, the battery 1,5 ( Can share invoices) (Includes Wall Mounted Fuse box) Price: R 15 000 Payment Method Accepted: EFT/Cash Warranty: No ( Product Designed for 5000 cycles and a 10 year life) Packaging: Will wrap the battery, Invertor original box Condition: Very Good ( Was used for Loadshedding and has only ever had 3 complete 80 % cycles) Location: Pretoria East ( Close to Rigel Off ramp) Reason: Moving out of our rental unit and the new place has a back up in place Shipping: At buyers cost Collection: Preferred I can send more pics and or information.

I think you can find it here @Coulomb posted all the info

Thanks @Leondavibe Came to the same conclusion, when running the battery and loadshedding, I have a good understanding what we use and what is available as well as the battery BMS gives me sufficient information. I also watched a couple of videos around charge cycles and realised that comms etc is not critical for me esp once I understood the charge discharge mechanics of the LiFe battery (video below helped alot) I ended up getting the Shoto 5.12 Kw rack mount battery as my brother uses those in his solar install and has not had any issues over the last couple of years. Configured the system to charge at 20A and float at 54v, cut off is 48v and have never got close to using more than 30% of the capacity even on the 4 hour stretches. Battery charges back up in about 2-3 hours Thanks

Hi All Did this ever progress further?

Thanks, I will then not break everything again and wait till they add the Shoto's to the non skipped list.

Hi All Just a quick question, after all the shenanigans I went through to get the version update working my MCU is still not on the latest version 2.6. (or newer) What are the benefits of the latest version? I am running a pure back up (anti Loadshedding) solution on a VM3 5KVA connected to a 5.12 Shoto Rack mounted battery. (No panels) Everything works well except there is no BMS communication between the Inverter and the battery and I am running it on USE Setting (setting 5) and voltage management. So the argument is, if it ain't broke why fix it, but if there is some updates to allow for communication between the 2 that would maybe convince me to break it (again) Thanks

As always thanks Coulomb!

Hi All Just an update. I was showing the installer for the battery what I did and how the inverter was still seeing the install command etc. Then did the classic... and when I run it, it fails, like so.... and it ran and update the firmware. I still get an error 32 when the inverter is off, but, everything else is working as it should. Still a concern that you cannot get the cable after market but for now I will not sit in the dark

Hi All So I am upgrading from Lead Acid to Li-ion and thought I might as well also do the firmware. I have an RCT Axpert 5KVA VM3 inverter I never received the illusive communication cable in the box and at the time did not really think to much about it. It was an insurance replacement. TLDR; this cable is what I need Following the various forums here and reading quite a bit, I saw that I can update the firmware via the downloaded firmware I got from Coulomb's link. Everything connected fine and seemed okay via USB and then it errored out and I got error message 32 which is a communication error between display and inverter and to rectify this you need to load the MCU firmware update. Here is the issue, I need the Network cable to serial and then serial to usb or I am assuming network to USB cable and I doubt the male to female plug does anything to the connection. And that is like trying to find hen's teeth. I have spoke to a couple of local installers who do Axpert and it seems that there are only a select few who do the firmware upgrades and when I contacted them I got blown off because I did not buy the inverter from them and should try the people I bought it from. I am based in Pretoria so any help would be appreciate as to how I can get this done. I can also crimp my own cable if needed and get a network to USB converter I am sure but am also struggling to find that info. Lots of info on the Network to BMS for pylon tech but very little on Inverter to serial and where to get the needed cable. Thanks

Hi Jumper Thanks, yeah its kinda frustrating because on the official Shoto info page it states Voltronic aka Axpert and all the other ones are compatible. http://chinashoto.com/userfiles/4cd5d807dc514b838f58401c8f3a3e9f/files/SDC10-Box5英/SDC10-Box5.pdf I guess we will have to wait and see

Hi Jumper, Regarding the CAN what settings do I need to do on the inverter? I have an Axpert RCT VM3 and the Shoto SDC10 single battery. So all the dip switches will be down. Thanks

Hi Prince Just a question, are you able to manage the battery via SOC or is it still via voltage?

Hi Everyone, I have scanned through this and just have a quick question, I am looking at the Dyness 4,8 KWH (Wall Mount)on my 5KVA RCT (Axpert) inverter. It seems that getting a battery with a BMS and that can communicate to the Inverter is key or very important as apposed to voltage management. I came across the Hoselect battery with the same capacity but cannot find any real confirmation on it and its compatibility with the Axpert. The price difference is close to R 4000 so if I can save that for the same capacity and warranties etc that would be great, if any one has some knowledge or can assist that would be greatly appreciated.
