  1. Purchased two of these for a friend to put into their battery trolley connected to a Mecer Inverter. Working like a bomb (drop in replacement for LA). Obviously cannot speak to the amount of cycles.
  2. It looks like Sunsynk has released their new data logger and their app will launch next week:- Sunsynk Update, App & Roadshow Anyone know from where we could buy one?
  3. Bain, will the 6kw pack work in parallel with a 5.1kw pack?
  4. 48v 100Ah(105Ah) 5.1kWh (tested 5.2kWh usable @ 40A) LiFePO4 Lithium Iron Phosphate Wall Mount Solar UPS Battery | Lithium Batteries South Africa (lithiumbatteriessa.co.za) I bought two of these in March and both are working awesome. There is nothing to say they are 2nd life cells. You say low cycles. How many to be exact? The display can tell one the cycles.
  5. I do not have non-essential loads between the grid and the inverter. I am just playing with the settings and will then find a happy medium (I have a spinning disk meter that goes backwards so it does not matter whether the battery charges through grid or solar at this time). My problem is the battery depleted by pushing back into the grid. I do not want the battery to feed the grid ever. I only want excess solar to feed to the grid.
  6. Further to my previous post I have just checked on the system and when selected like my second photo the system does not export to grid at all. The battery when connected via ethernet to the inverter always only shows at 99% is this maybe the cause of the problem or have I done something else wrong?
  7. So my first attempt last night at trying to cycle the battery to 50% did not go as planned. The first attempt photo attached showing the settings I put in place yesterday afternoon exported the battery power to the grid and depleted the battery in less than an hour. I did not want it to export the battery power to the grid. The battery also did not charge at 5am through grid power and waited for solar before starting to charge. I have now attempted again per the second attempt photo. My aim is as follows:- 1) From 11am to 3am use the battery to power all loads until the battery is depleted to 50% and thereafter be supplied by grid. 2) From 3am the grid will supply all loads and recharge the battery. 3) When solar is available it will supply power all loads and export to grid. Will the settings in the second attempt achieve this? Does sol exp bat full only allow export once the battery is 100% or does it allow both export to grid and charge battery if the solar exceeds the charge current? I want to make a start using the above settings and then adjust to what I think is optimal. Any advice would be appreciated. P.S. I have a spinning disc meter which is able to turn backwards although I know this is technically not allowed.
  8. Went to my local Builders today to try buy 2 more of this CBI Astutes. Unfortunately no stock and no longer show on any of the builders systems including online shop. The chap there seemed to recall that the rep took them all back. Would love 2 if anybody could find stock and was willing to ship.
  9. Very happy with my install which was done by Anthony of Savage Electrical. They are based in Durban.
  10. I am relatively new to powerforum and am more of a lurker than a poster. Recently had my solar install completed and can now sell the Efergy. It has been invaluable to me! I have copied the post from my post on another forum and do not know how to fix the colouring.
