  4. I also have 2 x 48Kg cylinders. I actually stopped looking for ways to do it some time back and I thought that in the interim, a good ol' analog or digital scale would work.
  5. A nice idea until it goes with the old tank when the tank gets replaced. I've been toying with the idea of building an IOT scale to monitor the weight and thereby ascertaining the level.
  6. C or B? State of health? How were these connected?

  9. Those are tried and trusted components so you should be fine.

  11. Good day Rinelda and welcome. I use a Victron Multiplus II and it is amazing. P1000's reply above is taking a jab at Victron because they are generally more expensive than similar product offerings from other companies but the warranty, support, online community, software, firmware updates etc. still tips the balance in their favour in my opinion. Please give us details of your installation for us to make a more informed recommendation regarding the MPII.
  12. Good day JouPa. Is this a US3000B or US3000C? Regards
  13. I'm watching this with interest as I am in a similar situation with my Victron 150/70 and 315W JA Solar panels. The Axperts have built-in charge controllers. I think the one in question has the following parameters.

  15. Can anyone assist in figuring out what has gone wrong here. I work away from home and I cannot physically check anything. My wife heard the alarm and upon checking she said she thought she could smell something burning. However she's not sure. When I look at the alarm logs I see a temperature alarm followed by the overload error 8 seconds later. I'v reset the system, switched the inverter off and on again but the alarm just reappears. I think the inverter might be damaged. Any advice at all will be appreciated. I've now bypassed the inverter completely. MultiPlus-II 48/3000/35-32 (externe sensor max 32A)
  16. Why do you have your battery capacity at 210 Ah? Should it not be 74 Ah x 3 = 222 Ah? I doubt that's your problem though.
  17. I've got mine stacked on top of each other on a wooden shelf with rubber feet on the outer edges to give them some space to breathe. I can't see what the problem would be on the bottom shelf of a chipboard cupboard.

  21. Installation done. I'm really happy with it. way quieter than expected when idling. The fan switch is located to the right of the Jean Muller battery disconnect and when engaged, makes the system completely silent. Thank you @Jaco de Jongh for the customary wonderful service and patience. Thanks @plonkster for the ' Silence fan' assistant tip. The problems encountered during load shedding have all been mitigated.
  22. Look in 'Pylontech battery' > 'Parameters' > 'Charge / Discharge' . I have 2 x US3000 batteries i.e. 2 x 37A = 74A
  23. Looks superb. Congratulations. Did you connect the batteries to a bus bar as described here?
  24. @DannyK, I was hoping to hear from people with real world experience. Maybe someone will chime in soon.

  26. I had a similar experience with them. Multiple emails and phone calls but zero response. My only online purchase was with https://re-volt.co.za/Store/ I had no issues, infact they were very good. I do all my purchases through @Jaco de Jongh now.
