Thank you, I appreciate all the feedback. This thread definitely created a lot of back and forth with other users that was a bit confusing for me.

I can't tell. The majority of my cells during charge are reading 3400mv, some at 3500mv. After 40 minutes I shut my generator off cuz I felt like al I was doing was wasting fuel. If you think I should just let it go I'll fire it back up. I'm beyond frustrated.

Good morning. Thank for all the input yesterday, I apreciate it. I stopped trying to charge last night, my batteries wouldn't get above 98% charge. Back at it this morning. Most of my cells are at 3400mv, some at 3500mv. Both of my batteries indicate full charge in less than three minutes at the...

My manuals are crap and the “help desk” phone line at Shop Solar is considerably less than desirable and anything BUT helpful.

My batteries read in millivolts, as we speak I’m charging and all of the cells read 3400. I assume that to be 3.4v. I have changed my charge settings to 55.2v bulk and 55.0v float like Steve S had suggested, I’d rather err on the side of caution than not. If my system fails I’m completely dead...

Thanks. I feel so stupid on this forum. Seems like there is a ton of shit I don’t know/understand.

There is a reading on my batteries on the status screen that says BmsSat: 0000 What does that mean? Also, are my inverters also my BMS?

I agree. A LOT of good info. Difficult to sort through it because some of it is conflicting. I do notice that initially (February when I got an inverter duty rated generator) my batteries would charge much more quickly. Now they seem to take quite a bit of time. I will reset my charge points to...

My battery setting is set to "USE" which I believe is user defined. My default battery equalization is set to disabled but the very limited manual with my inverters says I can set this value, (program 30) to enable battery equalization if my batteries are set to USE. What values would you...

Default are 56.4 bulk charge and 54.0 float charge. Current values are set to 58.0 bulk and 54.4 float. Generator charge time depends on battery depletion.

The Shop Solar "help desk" had me set those values even higher than that. Should I return those settings to factory?

I do not have grid access. This is the battery I have. Two of them.

They are 16 cells. That explains why I always read over 48v. That always confused me.

I will as soon as I get back home.

What is BMS?
