Luxpower SNA5000 - Detailed Battery Info

Featured Replies

Hi all

Is there a way to pull detailed battery info through the comms sent to the inverter?

Battery is a Cyclone F5 connected via the CAN port, however the only info seen is total combined capacity:

I'd like to see individual battery info such as the below:

The 2nd set of metrics is with a comms cable connected directly to the Pi and master battery. Inverters are then controlled via Solar Assistant.

However, in my instance with the Luxpower and Cyclone batteries, I need to have the batteries talking directly to the inverter to achieve the best efficiency.

In theory, Yes you can split your LAN cable using one of those Volkano Network series LAN Adapters. There is one the connects three LAN cables, RJ-45 type

@Bl4d3 I see a new firmware update has dropped for the sn5-6 might have added a few things.

Just saw it

Now to find an installer that would update the firmware.

Figured it out, was being an idiot. Can be updated in the app when connected to the dongle directly.

Looks like I now have 17A MMPT input as well

Some feedback on this. Looks like the inverter is taking the SOC of both batteries and reporting the average between them, which in my mind means that the Inverter is getting individual battery data.

Still no detailed battery info on other than the new included SOH, however, this is still averaged and not detailed per battery:
