BMS: Sacolar/Growatt ES5000 5kw Inverter with HINA ESS Hi-5

Featured Replies

Good afternoon.

I've had the inverter for just about 18months but with 4 x 12V 180AH refurbished solar tower batteries. When 3rd one in almost 24 months failed, I decided to bite the bullet and bought a lithium battery.

I battled with the setup of the BMS on the inverter. I found a post here from about a year ago with the solution. The battery's protocol is L52.

Questions:

  1. How will I know if it is the correct protocol?
  2. How do I know the BMS is working and doing it's thing?

Thanks a lot for your advice.

Take a rough guide by looking at the highest voltage during good sun and low load.
