Koerant

I have two 5kWh Volta batteries installed for little over 2 months now. Other than some config and setup issues on my inverter, the batteries seem to be performing well so far.

But this is feedback I give as a simple end user. If there is anything specific you would like to know, let me know.

I made some changes to the setup. First off, I found a nice little PDF that describes the different setups for the VOLTA battery and different inverters. In there they describe how everything should be connected with diagrams as well as specific config that needs to be in place.
For the physical connection related stuff I went and set the address of the slave back to 1 (Don't think that would have made a difference. As far as I can tell the only important thing is that you need to have different slave addresses if you have many batteries.)
I also connected the CAN from the inverter to the master battery.
The document also states that the battery protocol should be set to pylon. I then went to the battery manual and there it also states that the protocol should be pylon. I went ahead and changed this as well.
Here is an image of the current battery wiring (after I made my changes):

The cables in the trunking is connected to the inverter.
Things are already looking up. Something that I never picked up on was that the battery information was never recorded correctly on the app. When opening the app, I could now see that the parallel connection shows as 2 and the battery capacity is showing 203 Ah. I had to go to previous screenshots I sent my mates to confirm this. It used to show the parallel connections as 1 and the capacity as 20048 Ah.
I have a good feeling about the changes and I will keep monitoring the setup.
