Update. Just in case anyone ever has similar. It was a loose connection on the main input to the inverter. Solved and all working again now :)

So I’m back again with some questions. The main one being ‘have I managed to break something’! So the story starts yesterday morning when I needed to charge the car using the granny cable (in a socket in the main garage board, wired into the house CU). I didn’t want to drain the battery so I...

Thank you :) I’ve managed to change it to 280 using the IPhone app :) the battery has charged and discharged fully a couple of times so I’m not sure why it didn’t adjust automatically. The iPhone app was much easier to use and connected via Bluetooth quickly.

I’m asking quite a lot of questions at the moment so apologies for that. My battery capacity is only showing as 200.00 Ah. Should this not be higher? I thought it would be 280. Also thought the BMS would auto detect this. Battery has only been charged a couple of times so far so wondered if...

Has anyone come across this previously? I’ve downloaded the battery monitor software, uploaded the right profile and logged in using the admin log in. First thing I notice is that the diagram at the top doesn’t seem to look right I also only get this screen with all the data for about a...

Configuring the BMS was the bit I was nervous about so I’d just left it alone so far. Looks like I’ll have to look at making some changes.

Finally got my Seplos Mason and Sunsynk Inverter set up. Been a long road due to DNO delays :( I do have one question though. The SOC is set on the inverter and currently set to 100% charge. Should this be adjusted to 95% or is it fine to leave at 100%? Think I read that the recommended is a...

Hi all Just looking for a bit of advice around extending my CT cable on a DIY battery only installation. I’ve had to run armoured cable from the meter box under some patio slabs (path) and then into the garage. I’ve run shielded cat5 alongside it as I was advised not to bury the CT cable...

Sorry to open this again. I’m just setting up my Seplos Mason (BMS 2.0) and my Sunsynk Ecco 5.5 inverter. Can I double check if this also needs the coms cable tweaking as mentioned or if it’s fine as it is. I know people have been mentioning the 3.6 and 8kw versions but keen to check if it’s...

Do you think that would meet the requirements. I’ve just added a note on the inverter. They’ve accepted the diagram but just want it updated with the restriction.

The SLD I need to update. Am I correct in assuming that’s the line drawing I submitted? Am I also correct that I just need to make a note on it to show that the export to the grid is going to be limited to 3kw? I won’t really be exporting so I’m ok with restricting it although I think it’s a...

Yep, made it fairly clear but got the very short and sharp response. This is what I said but I’m trying to not get an argument with her but it does seem wrong.

Definitely wants 3kw. Seems a bit odd but as I don’t really need to export then I guess it’s not a problem.

No other inverters at all. This is the first one. I did wonder why the 3kw was referenced as I would have thought I could do 3.68kw anyway. Do you think I should go back and confirm. It’s not even a 5kw inverter that I’ve got, it’s a 5.5kw so those numbers aren’t right either. Just wondering...

I’ve had a response on my G99. Can I just check that the limit would be on the export to the grid? I know that the household usage is regularly around 5kw so keen to ensure I can draw that much from the battery. I really don’t want to export anything at all.
