Growatt 5000es with Cfe 5.12kwh li-ion battery

Featured Replies

Hi guys, I've done a few installs and have only 1, out of several installations issue. 

 

Long story short the system was working perfectly fine until the client started doing ironing on the system. The battery got drawn down and was struggling gain charge. We managed to source a li-ion charger and the battery shows full on charge. However connecting it back onto the system we getting error 19(battery disconnect) on the inverter. We've decided to take the battery in for a warranty check. Is there anything else I can check to ensure the system is still good. This was my very first growatt installation.

Hi, I’m diy’ing the same Growatt 5000es with a CFE5100s Li battery. Can you please assist with the communication cable setup? Do I reverse the rj45 wiring on either side or is it same for both ends
Thanks

Haave the same setup. After 2 weeks I managed to get the Battery and Smart Bess (If ever there was a misnomer...), but getting the inverter to communicate with the battery is like the communication between me and my ex-wife...

Hi Ayub

I'm using the same one as the one that comes with the battery.

The one that came with the battery was too short for my set-up.

for Growatt Setting 36: please try L52 instead of L51
