Awesome, thanks Coulomb. Yes, it is the 145V with removable LCD display that needs to be updated. Current inverter versions are 71.92 and 02.40. So, would you recommend I update to your fully patched firmware pair vs the factory versions? If I remember correctly, one needs to update the Display (MCU) before updating the Main (MCU)?

What are the latest firmware versions for this inverter? Where can I download them?

Hi What are the latest firmware levels for Kodak 5.48 OG Plus? I need to get 2x units to the same firmware levels so that they can be connected in parallel.

Is this BMV still available?

Samsung cells are the best, IMO. But they do come at a cost. Try Samsung 18650 3500mA 3.7V Lion Battery - Micro Robotics, INR18650-35E

Anyone have any Hoymiles MI-600 micro inverters for sale? Or even a MI-1200. Two of my MI-600s were taken out by lightning. Ellies were the local Hoymiles distributor, but Ellies are no longer in business ☹️ Location - Jhb Please PM me if you have some that you wish to sell.

I got a quote of R6440 incl VAT from Electrolux for the Elon 100 unit.

Johnno M. Where does one buy them from?

No need to go overseas 😀. Available locally from Geewiz. Emporia Vue Gen 2 Energy Monitor - with 8x 50A Emporia Current Monitoring Sensors - GeeWiz

Thanks Stepp, yes got some 5Ah ones from them and their capacities measure close to that.

Hi DMAC Where is your friend based? How much does he want for it?

This graphic is from the looooong thread on mybroadband.co.za discussing these Mecer inverters. Speaks for itself!

Yes, it will work. I have a 12V 100A LiFePo4 connected to a 720w Mecer inverter. However, the charge switch MUST only be set to 10A and not 20A. If you do that, the inverter will eventually fail. This is well documented in the mybroadband thread. Other small catch is that if you drain the battery enough, then the battery BMS will turn off the battery. When the power comes back the inverter won't turn on as there is no battery voltage and hence cannot start charging the battery. Solution is to use a voltage source that is high enough e.g. 13.8V and connect it momentarily to the inverter battery terminals. This will wake up the BMS and allow the inverter to turn on and charging to commence. For safety I only use a power supply that is isolated e.g. ye olde transformer based psu. Yes the Mecer does charge the battery at below the ideal 14.0V but so far so good and if necessary I will hook up a 14.0V (isolated) PSU to the battery to let the BMS balancer do its thing. 14.2 V is probably even better.

How much you looking for and where are you based Nic ?

Item Wanted: 32700 LIFEPO4 6000 mAH cells Desired Age: New Location: GP There is a chap who lives in Rietfontein who stocks and sells these. Does anyone perhaps know and have his contact info?
