    JohanDbn reacted to ebrsa in ICC software ends inadvertently   
    @JohanDbn  I noticed on the website Help page that trial versions are no longer available. However there is a great deal of information that may be relevant, particularly if you have an RPi 3. I was not aware of some so will be updating the RPi Linux for sure today. Manie has posted the commands on the Help page. 
    The current version is 3.1 not 2.999 as stated on the website.

    @JohanDbn  Manie's ICC has catered for parallel inverters for quite some time as well as several brands of LiFePO4 batteries. Google ICCSoftware or try iccsoftware.co.za perhaps. I am not sure if the website owner Jason will regard posting supplier's websites contrary to forum rules hence the suggestion to Google for ICCSoftware. Perhaps add South Africa to the query. I looked at Manie's website Help section last night and it has been significantly added to since my previous visit so taken a look.

    @JohanDbn I have a Victron BMV700 connected to the RPi and Manie's (ICCSoftware) has a software switch for that as well as for Pylontech batteries. Just Google his website and have a look if it suits you. I don't even want to think about running my system without Manie's ICC which I have been using since it became avaliable.

    I've tried both. It's practically the same software.  It's two partners that split up and each is now selling it separately.  Since they split up, each have made their own changes to it.

    Hello, had the same thing & flashed 71.94 that resolved the PV bypass issue for me when the battery SOC reached 100%

    Is my Axpert King destroying my Pylontech battery? - Batteries - Power Forum - Renewable Energy Discussion

    JohanDbn reacted to Stanley in Pylontech / Axpert back to grid voltage   
    I have not used ICC, so I'm not certain how this works, but if it can read SOC from the battery and use that to control the inverter then yes, that sounds about right.

    JohanDbn got a reaction from gbyleveldt in Axpert King draining batteries very fast   
    100% correct. I made a mistake here, and I was lucky to get out of it. They really did try every trick in the book. If it was not for my IT skills, tracking down ID numbers, addresses etc it wouldve turned out much worse. I am very sure there are many people that got scammed by them, who did not have my dogged determination to bring them to book.
    Must admit though, they came across very reputable with (apparently) 120 installations, reviews etc. 
    Note to anyone looking to go solar. Contact the SESSA Ombudsman, make sure the company is registered with them. If not, find someone that is.

    You are already running ICC, right? Then I would rather get the Pylon comms cable from them and directly access the information from the Pylon BMS
