if you're in "/opt/victronenergy/dbus-btbattery" directory you type "nano service/run" replace 70:3e:97:08:00:62 with your bt address hold ctrl + o, then hit enter to save type ./installservice.sh then type reboot

Interesting. So it may not care what the AC frequency is. Wonder if you could use one of these simple HF converters? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6Q7L3TF/ref=twister_B0BL425KTV?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 It's 20khz instead of 60hz, but if all the air conditioner unit is doing is rectifying then seems...

LOL, check this out. TimeUSB battery with LiTime silkscreened on the BMS

Yes, Redodo, LiTime, and PowerQueen MINI's all have the compression plates. They all have the same guts, case, BMS, etc..

I would try to get that replaced from PQ. The manual states charging voltage 14.4 +/- 0.2 So if it will not charge to at least 14.2v after giving it some time to balance I'd ask for a replacement.

Here's the cells from the Mini batteries. 4 cell group = 100Ah

You're welcome, glad you like them :) On the max load, if you know to keep it under 130A you're fine. You might want to consider as your battery bank drains, and you get close to your low voltage cutoff on your inverter, usually around 10.5v you'll be pulling more current to keep up with the...

Cool little system! Only thing I would say is your 2000w inverter will be a little more power hungry (when loaded heavy) than your system will be able to provide.

From REPT they call the new process to achieve this capacity Wending. They sent me some for testing, here's the result: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rept-battero-and-powin-team-up-with-320ah-wending-energy-battery-for-8-4gwh-indonesian-cell-procurement-project-301926331.html Also...

I'm hoping to update my tracker with bi-facials soon. I'll for sure make a video.

I agree buying more panels can be cheaper/easier. But space, if you don't have the space for more panels a tracker is a viable option. And also consider bi-facial on a tracker. I need to try this

Yeah, the BT hardware (and/or kernel driver) in the RPi is flaky, it will hard lock occasionally, and the only way to recover is to reboot.

I've used a lot of the Epever 20a, and 30a in remote IOT applications. To this day they are all running, never had a problem. Now that being said I had a 60a Epever for my own personal use, it died in 3 months of use. Never got a response back from Epever. I've since switched mostly to...

Yeah, I haven't found the time to continue work on it ATM. I think the Louisvdw repo now has bluetooth, so you might try that. BTW if anyone is interested in my repo I added a Virtual battery driver so you can series multiple batteries, and show up as one. I have two 12v batteries in my garage...

That's pretty nice. I have not heard from LVGOO yet, maybe I can email them. Thanks
