I will do thing as per your suggestions and will set things up so I have the batteries almost fully charged, then I will set the inverter to manual mode and bypass grid power so battery is not...

    How to top balance Coolithium LiFePo4 batteries with Growatt SPF5000 ES?

    I have 3 Coolithium 48V 200Ah (15S) batteries. I have BMS communication set up wit Growatt SPF5000ES. The charge voltage is set to 53.2V by default by the BMS (?) and I cannot change it in the inverter's interface. I guess it is controlled by the BMS. 53.2V is 3.546...V per cell. First...

    Growatt 5000 SPF ES - Back to grid for no reason?

    That spike is due to switching over to grid power. My grid voltage is around ~240V while inverter output voltage is 230V. So I don't see anything out of the ordinary here and according to the manual it should cause no issues unless the grid voltage is above ~260V. Also I assume if over voltage...

    Growatt 5000 SPF ES - Back to grid for no reason?

    An interesting find is that it seems like the switchover happened just as the sun was coming up and PV voltage reached around 100V.

    Growatt 5000 SPF ES - Back to grid for no reason?

    Hi, thanks for your reply :) I don't see any error like that not in the mobile interface nor the web interface. Also It is highly unlikely as it was in the early morning. My load was around 100W so ~2%. and temperature is a steady 18 degree Celsius, so it shouldn't be an issue. Although even it...

    LiFePo4 Battery drops from 22% to 0%

    That literally is what is happening. Once i connected the BMS communication successfully, all the voltage values on the inverter changed to % values and from then the battery controls the charging through the inverter and the inverter only shows %. I got the values from the interface though...

    To be more precise, I would only like to drip charge (trickle charge) my 48V battery from the utility with 2A... so no more than ~100W. That should be possible with this setting right? I cant seem to get a lower charge rate than 550W from the utility. ~10-12A
