Just got a Maple Leaf "Beaver" 3U pack. I got the heated version but there is no markings to say it has heaters installed.. It's identical to the Ruixu and can even use the same BMS monitoring software. Maybe this heater version is more appropriate for your setup? The 3U form factor is good...

The SOC may deviate if you ever have a load of less than 0.5A per battery.. Any time less than that will not be recorded as consumption by the BMS. So if you left the inverter on idle for a week, without solar input, the batteries would die with 99% SOC indicated.

Saw a few people comparing cables and connectors between AOLithium and Ruixu. I have a few photos below of both. Cables: - Ruixu.................... 4AWG, 1000V and 125C rated............................. ~100A max continous - AOLithium......... 3AWG (25 mm2), 1500V and 125C rated...

Their spec sheet says there are multiple mounting options including floor or wall...

Maybe Seplos bms?

The unit arrived today.. Will be some time before I get it mounted up.

Was going to make a new thread but this topic is pretty close so will ask here. I have a Victron 6.5kW AIO (Maple Leaf 6500EX which is same as LV6548). Its in a backyard shed and a 20 kW stack will be attached soon. I don't have grid power permanently in the back yard but can run a 10 or 12...

Does the 6000XP use CAN or Pylon485?... I assume CAN

The layout of the comm ports, indicator lights and DIP address bar looks really similar to the Seplos BMS's...

Had 2 units delivered today. Order was processed on the 25th and looks like freight logistics got it moving in early December. Nothing wrong with shipping times but seems AOLithium customer support does not have access to the waybill records of shipments out of the Canadian warehouse agent...

Ok thanks, I thought someone mentioned ordering in a comment above.

ok, update for Canadians, the extra $100 CAD off is gone and packs will ship out on Nov 20th apparently. You can still go to aolithium.ca and use the code AOLITHIUM05 to get $80 off per pack though.

Yeah I will look for an old one too... I just need one intermittently in the winter to top up when using the Lux 6KXP, the single LV6548 was just fine direct.. anyone ditching their old ugly yellow V1 send me a note.

Inverter communication is the wildcard here.. I will be working on getting communications sorted out for my Voltronic 6548 type AIO.. No luck yet. If everyone who gets comes working reports here we can better interpret the instructions in the user guide. My kit came with a network cable for...

Depends on what you need the system to do. If typical and max amps out of the stack is less than the rating of the cables (25mm2 = ~3-4 AWG) then you will be just fine with the parallel cables and one set of longer inverter connection cables. If your inverter can draw more than 125A from the...

Almost ordered but really my system is hobbiest level and I only need 1500-2000W top up slowly in the winter so decided this was overkill (wont have a generator).. I just picked up a 1500W 60V power supply for $250 to top up when needed.

yes it looks like there was some hardware updates since Will's first look video.

The cost comparison was shipping inclusive. For what it's worth the Ruixu customer support is a little more responsive and have better answers. Perhaps worth asking directly how taxes are accounted for in the sale, could help with the decision. The AOLithium connectors are the FSP models...

I guess it is about 3 typical 100Ah rack batteries in one wall unit.. Not many options are below $2000 CAD per 100Ah (48V).. Solar Power Store is doing closely follwing the model of SignatureSolar, they have their own in-house brand (Maple Leaf) that hunts down lower cost chinese OEM's and...

when I got mine it stated 48% on the indicators but only took 3kWh to charge fully (54.6V) as per spec... Which you make it actually closer to ~38%... (1.8/4.8).

This is what the Ruixu connectors look like.. CNNT ES08-P Don't say amphenol

Just had one delivered from SPS.. Can't install until I find a V1 Chargeverter.. Then have to sell the 6548.. I considered the other distributor but I think the warranty was only 2 years but the price was half.

Ok so max current discharge would be about 25A per pack or 50A per dual stack if current sharing is optimized. I don't see any problem. A single stack would get close to max but still within spec. AOLithium does state the 4x parallel format is for up to 5kW systems. Keep an eye on current...

Finally got pretty much everything set up with the MLPS 6500EX AIO and Solar Assistant. There was a slight hiccup at first since I could not get rid of the "70" fault code when comes were hooked up. It turns out the Voltronic inverters need to be set to LIb protocol and NOT PYL. Ruixu was...

At this point I may just pick one up and ride it until it dies.. If it dies quick then dive into the offshore warranty fun. Really wonder if the other owners had it die..

Ok.. I just bit the bullet and ordered a pack to see what all the mystery is about. By this time next month there hopefully will be much more user-generated info and content on here, YouTube and the internet in general. Supposed to ship Nov 20. For off grid use only.

On Vancouver Island it would only rarely get to -15c for a few days.. I could run 6S in the summer but the winter may be tight so I am sticking with 5S.

Ok, I am running Ruixu batteries and although their instructions for connecting communication to Voltronic 485 is to use the PLY battery type the technical support rep told me to set the inverter to "LI-b" mode instead. This got rid of the flashing 70 error notification and the battery icon is...

Just speculation, but maybe the current version of the app will only read and display those metrics if the pack and protocol is EG4.

What is the output of the inverter? 6 kW? The 2 parallel stacks should be fine for the wires supplied. They can do 125A max and over 4 packs is around 32A each.
