    Seplos Mason DIY kit review (4/5)

    I figured out the language thing.. If you press and hold confirm it changes back and forth. Yeah, I am feeling pretty dumb. Anyway, I now notice that I have an over volt error on pack 2. I am going to read up in the manual and see what it says and review settings. Cell voltage looked fine...

    Seplos Mason DIY kit review (4/5)

    The one in Chinese will charge but will not discharge yet. I am assuming it should drain both equally?

    Seplos Mason DIY kit review (4/5)

    This morning after changing to charge with grid and solar both. they are both back topped up. most likely still in Chinese, I have not looked. and pack two lowest cell voltage is really low. I need to cycle these up and down a few times to see if it gets in line. pack two has not been used...

    Seplos Mason DIY kit review (4/5)

    thanks for the link.. I watch all of his videos.. esp the seplos ones. that is what is making the task of getting in the weeds on it a little scary.. I know what headaches I will encounter.. I really wish it just was plug and play. I know they make them now but I wanted to get bang for the buck...

    Seplos Mason DIY kit review (4/5)

    just one and I have SA monitoring both but even since it glitched to Chinese it is not charging. I am watching the SOC slowly go down. I have a PC laptop to install the software on and try to connect over ethernet.. I have not tried that yet, I know it will be a struggle, so I havent yet...

    Seplos Mason DIY kit review (4/5)

    Quick question, What does it mean or why would 10C seplos bms revert back to Chinese. I assume I will have to undertake the daunting task of finally installing the comms software on my laptop and figure out how to connect to the bms and reset it to English. I am not looking forward to that. I...

May try just it to try and narrow down th rot problem. So far lots of info on the mpp and seplos battery system. It does seem...

    Solar Assistant not connecting to internet via wifi

    I am also having the same problem. I am on 2.4 band. I can log into it, it sees the wifi, I switch over to LAN, click the link to register and it says device is not connected to the internet. I have rebooted and tried everything I can.. this is frustrating. I have a TPlink gaming router i...

    Wi-Fi for LVX6048… any ideas?

    yeah I can take pics. but basically after I had to replace the power supply, it was DOA. I am powered up, I pick a wifi on my router that is 2.4. I see solar assistant. I can go to 10.0.0.5. I cannot get the wifi to go so I can register and deploy to the batt and inverters. I re enter the...

    EG4 6500 SUB priority

    I was oso but for the time being i am in snu because i am in sub mode. With high temps i am worried about blackouts. If batteries fall below cutoff i think the bms kicks off and it trips the inverters. But that is me using voltage as a guide instead of real comms. I am getting solar assistant...

    Wi-Fi for LVX6048… any ideas?

    I am going to, watching things guess by voltage is not a good idea. getting real stats and comms is going to be so much of a stress reliever. going out to the inverter and looking at power gen for the day, current load, battery soc, total load between two inverters, if I am off grid or on...

    Wi-Fi for LVX6048… any ideas?

    I had date set on mine and could never get it to work. I entered login and password so many times I thought I would vomit. Anyway, it would get to next to last step and then hang. I tried again not long ago, because I didn't remember login info I cant change it because the inverter info in...

    Seplos Mason DIY kit review (4/5)

    I have a couple of these kits with 280ah eve cells...I like them and would order again, but with shipping of a couple kits and then cables it would be almost as cheap to just order SOK or Keeshee complete kits. I dont mine building the kit, it was pretty interresting and has been working good...

    EG4 6500 SUB priority

    I have MPP inverters as well, the LVX 6048s that are doing something like this. There are times when the batteries are near full charge but the inverter does not switch to batt when the sun goes down. it seems to want full charge or else. They are set in SBU, and OSO for the batteries. I can...

    This off grid project, what have I gotten myself into?

    I really should update this thread as I have learned a lot since the original post. I have everything installed and spent a fair bit of time going through inverter settings and learning from mistakes. For me as my seplos battery mason kits (2) are both C (CANN) bms's I am letting the default...

    MPP LVX6048 High Temp Throttle?

    I like the heat pump water heater idea and have started reading up on them and the rebates that start 1 Jan 23. I plan on extra insulation over the winter in the attic especially over the garage. I live in a subdivision with an HOA, my options are limited for shading the roof.. maybe more...

    MPP-Solar LVX-6048 Solarpower App

    I finally get all the way to the end and after the module reboots I get all X's between inverter and server. I am about to give up and just get Solar Assistant.

    MPP LVX6048 High Temp Throttle?

    I also live in Tucson AZ and have a pair of the LVX 6048s. I have been keeping an eye on the temps in the garage where they are located. I have a shop fan that the wife turns on around lunch time for a couple hours on hot days. The only real issues I have seen is an occasional drop of all...

    will you pay the price for seplos pusung S

    sorry if the question has been answered.. the inverters are LVX6048. Default settings for amp in and out from solar and grid. I believe the cables said 4000v. these are the ones that are 50m2 type and rated at 250 amp over current. Inverters are in parallel. I am still learning but will try...

    will you pay the price for seplos pusung S

    Any chance I can get the cable connection type.. my 50m2 cables that I purchased with two 280ah battery kits get very hot.. I need to be able to find the cable connector type that connects to the posts so I can make my own much heavier cable. The two units are daisy chained and then go to a bus...

    MPP LVX-6048 Settings youre using

    This is option 20 correct. Default is 40.8. Batts last night were below 5 percent. Actually prob lower. It was a bit latter when it dc’d. checked seplos 280. Mason bms. It cuts off at 41.6. I will do as you said and bump it past that. Probably 50 or 51. I need to ck what is best for lifepo4...

    Yes it did. Then util never picked up and once i got it all running again i. Had to power off and back on the batteries to get the inverter to charge them. Right now i think i need to adjust option 20. From default for these diy cells. Both inverters have blinking lights for solar and batt...

    MPP LVX-6048 Settings youre using

    Ok i think i got it. Followed Ians video. Watched it a few times. Got confused with old 6548 video and setting the 180 degree on slave inverter. On the lvx. The wiring between them does that. In fact paperwork didnt match video. The black and red wires showed out to in on the manual and the...

    I made sure voltage was good. I just need to do initial config ie master slave and paral so i can run a 240 v item. Set batts to lipo4. And priority to sbu correctly. Then i should be good. I just need better than manual guide. Its a little confusing. I will give it a shot tomorrow. Tips would...

    I have the manual and found what fault 8 was. After reading it seemed i need to set batt voltage and something else. Option 12 and 14 before i change option 1. But those warnings are not anywhere Before hand. So that is why i was looking for smarter specific steps. Do i kill everything but...

    This off grid project, what have I gotten myself into?

    Thank you MrM1, I don't really want to sent them back. I am looking for software to draw out my off grid system. any good free software recommendations. I found a few free ones with google. Just wanted to see what the forums use.

    This off grid project, what have I gotten myself into?

    I thought I did good research for higher DC voltage for longer run from back to the front of house. The inverter idle, and one less PV input and low freq that I probably didnt really need is causing second guessing.
