  1. Thanks

    That is vague terrible advice. Why once a week? Why 50%? 
     
    Guys you have to actually read before commenting. It's a lithium battery you can cycle it everyday down to 80%(I mean you can use 80% with 20% remaining)and still get minimum 6000 cycles.
     
    Cycling it everyday will give an idea of how far you are from self sufficient,  you could be 2 batteries from self sufficient depending on your load in the evening.

    Ok Sooo….
     
    I left mine on and at about 11am I got an error 500 pop up and then the Logger was offline.
    Bottom line - even though their server is contactable the service taking the logs are not handling it. 
     
    So I recon its a server service issue

    Hi All 
     
    I am not the only one it seems. Mine logs perfectly yesterday but today it started again. It stops at about 9am and then starts at 4:30pm
    I thought is was PV so I shutdown the inverter restarted it with PV switched of and still... no dice. I also went as far as to install PVkeeper and check if it is a USB issue 
    and it works perfect. Plug the wifi unit in, and no dice. Tonight its running again. 
     
    I do have a few suspicions
    Network service not running on their servers Day for us night for them
    Internet service provider issues Problems related to international connectivity. 
     
    Next to me running a network analyser and capturing network packets (of which I have none of the hardware available atm)

    I started having those same questions and here is a link to a discussion I started regarding the Dyness batteries.

    OK Good News.
    I finally got my BMS coms to work to my battery.
    It turns out that two pins need to be shorted on the battery side to make the cable work!
    Pin 7 and Pin 6 needs to be shorted going towards the battery side.
    The 1 - 3 and 2  - 1 still applies.
    I have got to give Andy all the credit and his help has really been key in me getting this problem solved and thanks  for the top class service I have received from you.
    Not every day the owner himself goes to great lengths to get his product to work !
    Tip of the hat to you my good sir !
