  • Post in thread: Charging speed (bottom balancing) 14A instead of 24A

    How the hell i could miss that!! :D When was buying this bench charger, i've ordered it with 25A cables. So i was sure, that all ok with cables. But you are right, alligator clips have very small area of contact. Replaced now with 7AWG cable with ring terminals, and can push all 24A. can't...
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF5000ES ground/neutral bond (Europe 230V)

    Hello, I need help with Growatt SPF5000ES ground/neutral bond. The more information i see/find, the more confused i become. It looks like: a. ground/neutral bond is different in the USA vs Europe (please correct if i'm wrong), i live in EU. b. Growatt under the same name "SPF5000ES" makes two...
  • Post in thread: My SPD caused a fire hazard? what is the cause?

    Last week i've ordered some of these PVC enclosures. But somehow i decided to return them back and ordered 2,5 times more expensive, not so good looking, but 100% metal enclosures. And now i see this post!! Look's like i made a good choice. To the post author: lucky you, that your inverters...
  • Post in thread: Fuse or Switch? What goes first?

    Now it's clear !! :) thank you !
  • Post in thread: JK-B2A24S20P BMS Verify Password to enable settings change

    I also was thinking on how it can be time related. The only thing i can think about is that your BMS serial number is bounded to the phone application. And that code is generated for your application (if it's on the phone, it should have access to internet). So maybe it kind of your applications...
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 5000 ES Huge BANGS! and flashes inside the boxes

    Are they much more expensive? Are they much more better?
  • Post in thread: Fuse or Switch? What goes first?

    I have a question "what is first"? When cable comes from the PV, should it go first to the fuse or to the main switch ? I believe there is no big difference, but from your experience maybe there is? :)
  • Post in thread: New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    well, you've pointed in to very correct place, that i've missed out :( i just looked once again carefully and you are right. It passes only AC ±220V on all 3 rails, only the 4th port is for DC. I haven't bought it yet, i'm just looking for a solution right now. Found this device, it looked very...
  • Post in thread: JK-B2A24S20P BMS Verify Password to enable settings change

    It looks like i have no other option. Thank you for the suggestion. Will try it :) As i understand that code is only for unlocking. Afterwards you can set up a new password ?
  • Post in thread: JK BMS: canbus AND/OR rs485

    Thank you for your reply. When i was buying it i understood that RS485 is by default build in and CANBUS cost additional few $. So i paid those few $ to have (what i understood) BOTH protocols. But now reading and seeing more i got doubt. Yes, i paid for CANBUS, so i have it. But do i still have...
  • Post in thread: JK-B2A24S20P BMS Verify Password to enable settings change

    This is the guess only? Or you know/tried these pins? :)
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF5000ES ground/neutral bond (Europe 230V)

    Looks like this forum is dead. I made few posts, nobody commenting, nobody reading. Use facebook group "Growatt Users" instead.
  • Post in thread: CAN and RS485 BMS Interface with multiple emulated Inverter protocols for JkBms Jbd BMS Daly 123Smart

    Hello, i'm looking for the answer and can't find it. I've bought JK BMS and got confused, and nobody can answer me. When buying i have chosen CANBUS version, because in the manual i found this line: "3.All models can support the following interfaces and functions:RS485 interface/CANbus...
  • Post in thread: JK BMS: canbus AND/OR rs485

    I solve this problem. They call have this CAN/RS port. That port are preprogrammed from factory. You only can have one of them. BUT.... there is GPS port and it ALWAYS in RS mode :) (except you have to buy adapter ±10USD). So so you can order CAN version, but also have RS :)

  • Post in thread: Extend JK bms Bluetooth or other options

    I see that most comments are workarounds. Raspberrry pi, Solar asistant, home asisstant, venus and etc. I have and use most of it. But the question is simpler. How to just extent BT range? Just too put reveiver/transmiter on one end and another part and on the other part. That's bout it :)
  • Post in thread: New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    Thank you. Statement is very correct. Your option might be very good as well. But in my case i already have 2nd and 3rd inverters (smaller low load). i have everything already almost working. I only need at this moment adjustable voltage switch, for on/off variables. With my preferred custom...
  • Post in thread: New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    For the garage i have very basic inverter, that does not have smart features. It's quite old, modified wave 5000W peak, 2500W inverter. It's have auto off when battery low, but that's fixed, i cannon change it, and it does not fit for me, as it will turn off when battery will be almost empty...
  • Post in thread: JK BMS 200A (350A peak). 2x 7AWG. HOW?

    JK BMS, rated at 200A current with 350A peaks. Have two 7AWG cables on B- and two 7AWG cables on P-. How this is possible? Does anyone had a problems with it? 7AWG cable rated to 30-40A. Two of those will double accordingly 60-80A. Is it safe to use?
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF5000ES - efficiency depending on panels count

    Hello, I can't find information on Growatt efficiency depending on Voltage per string. I will give example: Lets say solar panel is 400W; 38V (Voc) Growatt max PV input is: 450V Situation1: 11pcs. of these panels connected to one inverter 11x38V = 418V and 4400W (let's call it 100%...
  • Post in thread: Where is input/output.

    Hi, Where is input/output or in this case it does not matter? TY.
  • Post in thread: JK BMS: canbus AND/OR rs485

    so what's the problem? Chooose what you need, and go for it! :)
  • Post in thread: JK BMS 200A (350A peak). 2x 7AWG. HOW?

    Yeah... i'm somehow did not think about length. That's right. They are very short. Maybe super fine strand also makes sense. But silicone jacket? :) It does not acting in power transmission :) Why you mentioning it? :) Higher temp. resistance?
  • Post in thread: JK BMS 200A (350A peak). 2x 7AWG. HOW?

    yeah. my fault. Cable length.... :) did not counted it.
  • Post in thread: New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    I will convert DC to AC near the battery, i only run AC to the garage :) But the question was switch or relay :D any suggestions for that part?
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF5000ES - efficiency depending on panels count

    Yes, thank you. That's what i though! Good point regarding winter.
  • Post in thread: New help with a Moes auto transfer switch..

    Hello, solar enthusiast, looks like i need some of your help. Especially from the owners of this MOES Dual Power Controller 50A. So my idea is to utilise the power on the sunny day at the max. When battery goes almost to the top, i want this MOES transfer switch to start additional inverter...
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF5000ES - efficiency depending on panels count

    That's very interesting point !!!
  • Post in thread: Growatt SPF 5000 ES Huge BANGS! and flashes inside the boxes

    You have send them all 3 inverters? I understood that only one was failing. What's next? 3 empty spaces :)
