  1. Not that I know of. Your best bet is take the battery to hubble
  2. @WannabeSolarSparky are the panel specs for amperage not too high 13a vs 11a? Not fatal but there will be "clipping"
  3. Hi All, looking for a trolley to run fridge/freezer. With odd TV Xbox use. I have found this on takealot https://www.takealot.com/navasolar-trolley-inverter-3kw-24vdc-2560wh-lifepo4-sa-outlets/PLID92940182 I notice it is 24v. Pricing seems to be all over the place ranging from 25k to 29k. Whats your thoughts

  7. Looks good. Does the growatt talk nicely to the Pylontech. Can I get a quote for delivery to JHB?

  10. Some feedback from Hubble. I must update both firmwares Bulk and float should be 53.8v Cut off 44v Charge at 30a per battery (weird) Fast charge when needed at 50a per battery Discharge 100a per battery (not relevant for me because the ss5.5 is capped at 125a) Cut off at 20% (which feels high to me)

  12. I have noticed that the battery charge setting on the sunsynk does limit the amps drawn to charge the battery. Wondering if the other charge settings also have an impact.

  14. I've finally purchased and installed a new hubble am2 to put next to my old one from 2021. Noticed a few things the rated capacity is now 6000Wh which is awesome. The new battery is the master and installed closest to the inverter. The old battery is second with the dipswitch set as such. The cable lengths are even. My sunsynk is set to lithium and it's talking nicely to the inverter. The new manual from hubble requires the battery to go to 100% at least every five days to balance the cells. I was thinking to use the equalization setting in my sunsyynk 5.5. Will this work? Does this setting override the communication cable and lithium setting? Finally what concerns me is the different stickers on the sides of the batteries. (float and equalization). Please help 🙏🙏

  18. So here's the background. I have a sunsynk 5kw inverter. 1x hubble am2 (soon to be 2x) 12x400w Canadian solar panels Split 1x8 facing north and 1x4 facing east. I have space on the north but wanted some protection against morning loadshedding when I had lead acids and even when I had 1x hubble. Now I'm getting 4x450w ja solar panels. The question is how do I deploy the new panels? Option 1 put them on the north and add them on the east strin so 1x8 with 4 east and 4 north. Voltage of about 400v. Option 2 put them on the north and have two strings to one mppt 2x4 with one string east and one string north. Voltage of about 200v. Option 3 move the east panels onto the north and have another north string of 8 panels half 400w and half 450w? Option 4 face the new panels west or any other ideas? I'll await the feedback from the wise men of the forum 🙏

  20. Yes Steve from the @Powerforum Store made sure Hubble swapped my battery out.
  21. Please elaborate 🙏
  22. Thx @swazz99jhb 🙏 I will look on the weekend. What cable I am using? Can I use the same cable as I used for the bms update?
  23. Seems to be a problem with the AM2. I have the same issue - getting the run around from Hubble. Now I'm looking to rent a battery so I can send the battery back to hubble for testing.
  24. I've now tried a bms update to 1.5 from hubble seems to be behaving better since, but really need a 4 hour loadshedding from 6pm to 10pm to test it out. Fingers crossed. @swazz99jhbwhere can I get pbmstools to check the state of my cells?
