  • Post in thread: Top balance

    I have switched the leads but I have since disconnected the power supply because I was out of town for the week. I will be back late this weekend and will reconnect it. All of the cells are still connected in parallel so maybe that helped them along a bit. But before I start top balancing again...
  • Post in thread: Top balance

    I’m currently doing a top balance on 16 280ah cells. I have the cells in parallel and before I started the cell voltage was 3.27. The power supply is set to 3.6 and the amps haven’t gone down in 2 days, 48 hours. The amps are sitting at 5.6 exactly and the test started around 6.34 amps. Am I...

  • Post in thread: Grounding solar panels

I’m going to run 2 strings into the LV6548 both of witch will be hooked into a metal shutoff fused with 30 amps. Also I plan on grounding the metal shutoff to my grounding black outside. I...

  • Post in thread: LV6548 bypass

    Sorry the reply took so long, but yes I did figure it out. I had the back to grid setting set to 54v and that’s why it never would switch over. But I figured it out and it’s working great. Only thing now is on the WatchPower app I can not see the history. Every time I try to check it, it logs me...
  • Post in thread: LV6548 bypass

    Hi guys. I have a new lv6548 hooked up and no matter what setting I put it on, it will not pull From the batteries when the grid is connected. I want it to pull from the batteries and solar first. Then once the batteries die and there’s no solar I want it to pull from the grid as a backup. Does...

    I did find some more information and did end up grounding the panels as well as installing a pv combiner box with all the proper Fuses and surge protections. Thank you
