    Dual RUiXU Sol-ark configuration

    RUiXU Sol-ark configuration

    Thank you for your prompt reply. Everything is working now. On the top battery I set switch 6 on. Every other switch is off on every battery. I had to start each battery, one at a time, delaying 10 seconds between each start. Otherwise I was getting multiple Masters. I love your server rack...

    RUiXU Sol-ark configuration

    Can Bus ID Your diagram indicates every slave should have the same switch setting. So how does the solark address a battery? IE How does its Can ID get set? Doesn't each battery need a unique ID? Sol-ark settings Can you check my solark settings in the three images above?

    Can anyone validate my solark settings for connecting to 6 100Ah RUiXUs?

    RUiXU Sol-ark configuration

    I dont understand the RUiXU dip switches. I have a rack of 6 batteries but the switches have no place to set the Can id. How do you specify the master battery? How do you specify each Can bus ID? I need protocol ID 2, which is dip switch 6. Do I set switch 6 on every battery?

    But telling a complete stranger "Time to revisit basics" is polite?

    LTO battery fire

    Dude. I've lived through Outback, Solark and EG4 inverters. This is not my first rodeo. This was a test rack that I built myself by hand and it behaved beautifully for four years. I've intentionally ran it balls out 100% charge to discharge daily. I got every dollar out of what little I...

    LTO battery fire

    My home build LTO battery had a fire last night. We heard a large pop and came out to find a small arc fire in one of the cells. One of the cells had popped completly apart. The wiring was arcing and causing a small flame. We were running five 10 amp active balancers on five 22S banks...

    Question to Will Prowse: what products do you recommend??

    I have four 400 watt panels and they won't provide enough power to run a mini split for very long. I can only run for one full day then charge for 5 days using a 30kWH battery. This is from South Carolina sun.

    Della mini-split is alive!

    No issues vacuuming. I wrapped the wires with this tape: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q8T3SSP My lift is the best money I ever spent. It's all aluninum, so it's light. But it has lifted 600 lbs. I use it daily. I built the stand thinking I could drive it into the ground with a hammer. Not...
