Hey, I know someone that may be interisted, but I'd like to get some info on that inverter first? Can you share a link to a datasheet or something?

I assume you are not using any comms cable between inverter and battery?

So the battery BMS controls the charging, based on voltage?

Mecer doesn't have plug for comms cable, unfortunately

I am aware of this, also one cannot adjust the float or bulk charge voltage, only the charge current. I was wondering how you monitored the battery state of charge?

One could measure voltage with a meter, or just treat the Pylontech as a lead acid and hope for the best.

Long story in short, friend of mine build his house solar system, we both ordered Pylontech batteries. I'm using his house as comparison (his batteries went to 20% then it goes to grid) and he got 118 cycles, but mine is much less +/-50% just purely for desktop PC

Got Watt meter (with Voltage meter) connected to it for check ups, not permanent use.
