Can someone please recommend a good quality Li battery to be used with 5kw Mecer inverter? Need about 8kw-hr, 48 - 52 Volt. So far looked at Blue Nova and Pylon Tech. Any comments on these? Any other brands to consider?

Does anyone have experience or references for Ritar batteries? They are supplied by Deltec nation wide. All I have is U Tube video indicating that it is manufactured in Spain.

Hi all you veterans, I now have full record of all the Mecer 5kw settings. Is the reason for poor battery life hidden somewhere in this settings? I have some uncertainty on settings 12 and 29, as well as 26 and 27. My settings can be seen in attached pictures. However got a reccomend from someone else for 47V for #29, 58V for #26 and 54.6 for #27. Then do I need to think about the equalization settings, which is not active if #5 is set to AGM type batteries.

Can someone tell me how to set the inverter up to operate on solar and utility even when no batteries are connected?

I have no monitoring installed. Settings are Program no, setting: 01, SbU 02, 60 03, APL 04, SdS 05, AGn 06, Ltd 07, ttd 09, 50 11, 30A 12, 46 13, 54 26, Cu 56.4 Batteries are disconnected and being repaired so I could not note the settings that are not listed. But they are all on default values. Comms pcb on my unit is damaged. Could not get a spare from Mecer. Any help on this??

Hi all, I am new to this forum. Have registeted but are awaiting approval. Meantime I have issues with solar system that worked well gor 12 months but then batteries deteriorated to point where batteries last less than 1 hour under 3kw ac load. My confuguration is: 1x Mecer 5kw inverter 15 x 320 watt pv panels connected 3x5 8 x AGM G+ 12-200 Ahr batteries connected 2x4 in series to give 48V Eskom is connected as bypass only, system is off grid. Can I get recommendation on inverter settings? Also equalization since disabled currently. Can I still rescue the batteries? Johan Lombard
