  1. Shoto 50Ah 14 cell And the bluenova is a 15 cell 100AH Hey Scorp! Long time!
  2. Pondering it. But the two batteries have different BMSes and cell counts. If theres no bites by the end of the week, I'll just get 2 more of these and call it a day. I'm parraleling inverters and need a pack with a higher C
  3. Oh geeze these came down in price a lot... Last price I saw was 32k
  4. Item: BlueNova BN52V-100-5.2k BP Battery Age: <2Yrs Price: R15 000 Payment Method Accepted: EFT Warranty: 8 years left Warranty Holder: My partner Packaging: Included Condition: As new Location: Pretoria Reason: Bought a house with battery included Shipping: Not reccomended but I have the original packaging Collection: Yes Link: https://www.bluenova.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/BN52V-100-5.2k-BP.pdf https://www.bluenova.co.za/products/bp-du-racpower-batteries/
  5. Could you find out what they said? We're buying a house with an Sunsynk inverter and battery that's of a different brand than the Blue Nova we have with our Sunsynk?
  6. I notice ot all the time. Not just when LS. But the wining also happens all the time. So I assume the inverter is always engaged
  7. Are they not noisy?
  8. Okay so I'm not just going crazy XD It's not so bad for me. It's the light in the garage and ny own PC while my BFs PC is silent. He is going through a UPS so that could be why his doesn't make a noise.
  9. Hey! I recently swopped out my Axpert for a Sunsynk and I started noticing this. The axpert certainly didn't do this. It's not a continuous flicker. It's like once every few random seconds. Cant even say it's when a load is applied. Could you figure it out?
  10. Item: 2 x 360W Solar Panels Mono-crystalline Age: +- 1Yr Price: R1800 per panel Payment Method Accepted: EFT Warranty: Not that I know of. Packaging: Nope Condition: As new have not had the time to put them up. Location: Pretoria East Reason: Not compatible with my new inverter Shipping: If you can arrange something I will be all ears. Collection: Yeah that'll be best Link: Close enough: 340 Watt Solar Panel - Solar Man
  11. Yeah got a nice cutout for that.
  12. I drew up a 19" rack mount for my Axpert Mk1 5KVA Was wondering if anyone would be interested in one. I'm waiting for a quote from the lasercut guys. There should be enough room on the side for those small 4 wide DB boxes. And for the DC side. There's the DIN rales on the bottom.
  13. So I figured it out. It's not hardware, rather it thought the battery was flat because I set the VCO too high in an attempt to prolong my battery life, and the very steep drop off in LIFEPO4s voltageaat the lower end made the inverter think the battery is flat so it didn't try to turn on the booster. @Coulomb Yes. I made a typo there. Youre right
  14. "LC1 73 70C"
  15. You think it's hardware? Ah geeze. I was really hoping it'll be a config problem. What is U13? I can easily get the parts. We order from DIgikey almost every week. I'm not sure what it's running. How do I check? It definitely doesn't have a LiFePo4 profile. I had to do a manual profile. Also learned last night that it determines battery percentage with the cutoff voltage that I made too high when it wouldn't stop beeping.
  16. The inverter was free with the battery when my friend claimed it from his insurance and they forgot to pick it up. It is working just fine, i don't think it's faulty. (Apart from the fans I replaced) I think there's a config that I have misconfigured, that isn't allowing it to boot. @Coulomb the new patched FW has support for LiFePo4 directly right? Would it be a good idea to update it?
  17. So, the fans I ordered arrived and I changed them. It's definitely not caused by that. Heres a YouTube Video on what it does.
  18. That's not the case. I can turn it on and off with the power switch and when loadshedding hits the inverter kicks in and keeps things powered on. I'll make a short video perhaps?
  19. Still though. Why isn't it cold booting. It turns on, but the output does not enable?
  20. I have a button with an LED so I wired that in parralel with the 4K7 5W resistor so when it dims I engage the fuse.
  21. I'll try that! Thanks.
  22. I have that same problem because my battery is too small for the inverter. But that's a different problem. I solved that with a pushbutton in my fuse box and a resister to slowly charge the caps in the inverter. It's not good for the caps to "slam the fuses closed" Caps appear as a dead short if they're discharged and are suddenly charged Edit: added a sketch of the solution
  23. I have no idea. I have never been able to figure it out. I should just order the right fans. They are on takealot Edit: No the ones on takealot are not PWM.
