  1. Just some feedback. We logged a return with the supplier. RCT replaced the motherboard under warranty. Back to normal operation again.
  2. Good day, Our estate has a small RCT Axpert 1000W 12v inverter which is used for backup power for streetlights etc. (about 300W total load). It's connected to a Hubble S-100A battery. It's been running perfectly fine since July 2023. However, the inverter is no longer supplying any output power during load-shedding. There is no alarm/fault code and the inverter display shows that the battery is full (13.7v), the grid input voltage is 0v, Output is 230V AC, and load is 0%. A multimeter confirms 0V AC at the inverter's output connecter. When grid returns, the AC on the inverter output is also back. We have switched the inverter on/off - same behaviour. Also, changed from Apl to Ups - same behaviour. Any thoughts, assistance will be much appreciated. Thanks
  3. Looking for a 12v lithium battery for use with an axpert 12v/1000w inverter for our Estate. Typical load ~300-400W (some street lights, access control system, couple of CCTV cams). I personally own a AM-2 and I'm aware of challenges with that battery, but what about the S100A (first life cells, not 2nd cell like the non-"A" version)? Any issues that I should know about, or can we confidently go the S100A route ? Thanks in advance.

  6. Thanks. Looks it hasn't changed recently from what I have. (My AM2 uses the file that ends with 2.50, but your file (4.50) was part of the package I got.)
  7. Hi What's the latest FW version numbers? Thanks
  8. Awesome. Grabbed. Thanks a lot !

  10. Can someone please hook me up with the latest update SW and FW ? I logged a ticket with Hubble two weeks ago via their raiseaticket portal, but no response. My battery is still fine after ~170 cycles, but PBMSTools shows I'm on FW 1.43 (P13S120A-12290-1.43), so I want to do a pro-active update. I think there's at least a FW 1.50 available, according to this screenshot here: @swazz99jhb Much appreciated

  13. USB. I got a cable in the box. (Even the first digits of the serial numbers are similar )
  14. You're not going to be connecting any load or battery to it. The inverter itself uses less than 60W< so you really don't need a very think cable to power it. 3 core, 1.5mm should do it. It's about as complex as fitting a 3-pin plug, but rather get someone to help if you are unsure. For actual installation and wiring into your DB / Battery, definately get an electrician if you have any doubt. You must get it CoC'd anyway to ensure saftely and avoid issues with your issurance if things go wrong.
  15. I obviously can't gaurantee that your inverter is 100% identical (may even have different FW), but I'm happy to give some pointers (or inverter manual, screenshots etc). This inverter can start up without battery (some Axpert inverters can't). Before I had my battery or installed the inverter, I made up a simple cable to connect the inverter to a standard 3-pin plug outlet, just to check for out-of-box failure and to test the SW etc. There are a few things to be aware of with this inverter, such as the need for an external Earth/Neurtral bond relay. You can check out my install here, if you like

  17. If you're based in Cape Town, just know that this inverter is not on the city's list of approved inverters, so it will be a problem to register your solar system as required by the council.
  18. That looks like an Infinisolar clone. Appears to be similar to what I have (just different brand/colour). I've been running it since April 2021 with a Hubble AM-2. You will need the software called SolarPower to configure the inverter initially, but thereafter I would recommend SolarAssistant because it acts as a sort of bridge between Inverter and battery.
  19. Also interested to know. At 100% my difference between highest and lowest cell is 0.048V, at 50% soc it's about 0.01V. My AM2 is at 161 cycles by the way. Edit:Typo

  23. RS232 I don't have a cloudlink, so no idea if you can use it in parallel.
