Posted March 9, 20205 yr Hi guys I have a recently installed Goodwe ES (4.6kw) setup hooked up to 2x Pylontech US3000's. I'm not sure if I've configured anything incorrectly, but the batteries only ever charge up to 80% SOC. Is there something I've configured incorrectly? (As a side question: is there a way to see the potential the panels are generating instead of having them track the load too?)
March 9, 20205 yr Author Oh that's great, do you by any chance know what setting it is @Maxibelgium? In the PV Master app, I can't seem to change the charge voltage or current and can only change the DOD settings for on-gird or off-grid.
March 10, 20205 yr Author Ah, there must be something else wrong then. I have my on-grid DoD set to 60% and the off-grid DoD set to 89% and my batteries still only charge up to 80%.
March 20, 20205 yr What does your set-up look like on the battery configuration? You have 2 x US2000 selected? Do you have your communication cable correctly connected? Do you have the dip switches configured correctly? Both batteries should be on Default. I have the US3000 units and mine goes up to 88%. They stay there for some time while amps is still flowing in. Then suddenly they would jump form 88% to 100% in a single step.
March 20, 20205 yr Author I have 2x US3000 selected. I think it might be a balance thing. Over the last week and a bit the max charge has been climbing slowly. Today it changed to 90%. I'll post back here if it ever reaches 99%

I recently had a 16-cell BYD with a low cell that could not be charged past 54.6V because of an imbalance. What we did was to cycle it down to 80% and back up numerous times. After about a week we had managed to raise the charge voltage to above 55V and deemed it good enough.
June 4, 20204 yr CalmYourself. did you end up making any setting adjustments or did you just give it some time?
July 7, 20213 yr I am having the same problem. What are your dip switch settings? Mine doesn't seem to be coming right
July 8, 20213 yr Author I didn't make any adjustments. My system still does sit at 88% for a while before jumping up to fully charged, probably related to unbalance between the cells and the BMS compensating. My DIP switches are all set to Off
August 27, 20213 yr Hi I have a setup similar to yours, but have 3 US3000C I have some doubts... Have you configured your inverter with PVMaster? Did you have any difficulty choosing the battery make and model? I have many difficulties, but they get recognized. On PVMastar on battery now finally appears "PYLONTECH US3000C*3" I have no difficulty in loading them up to 100% One of the things that leaves me in doubt if it is well configured is in the PVMaster in the battery section appears Charge Current Limit (fromBMS) 111A Discharge Current Limit (from BMS) 111A Manual information Charge / Discharge Current （A）/ 37 (Recommend) / 74 (M ax@60s) / 90 (Peak@15s)
August 27, 20213 yr Hi Voodoopt, Not sure why you would think the config is not correct? 37 x 3 = 111 A This is anyway much more than what the Goodwe can charge (80A) or discharge (90A or 4.6kw). You will see that once the battery is full, the charge current will drop town to nearly nothing, but the discharge will still be 111A.
