I see what you mean Ray. Sorry I misread your mail. There are not too many batteries out there that need LBCO above 48V. Which ones are you talking about please?

There are 3 now. The old graybox XW defaults at 44V LBCO and the range is 40 to 48V. There also was firmware back in its day that got older units updated. Schneider still has the firmware under discontinued products. XW+ is default 44V and adjustable 36 to 44 vdc. XW pro is running downstairs and I will take a look. It would be my guess that it is the same as XW+. I think one needs to be sure they are in Advanced settings to tweak LBCO also. I am not plugging Schneider and have done work for both Outback and Schneider as well as my clients. Hope this helps.

As it's names states, its simple. Each 3.8 kWh unit has an 80 amp breaker built into the top, weigh about 75 lbs, and are a bit smaller than an L16 but with carry handles. We use an insulated 2 pole combiner block to run all the parallel conductors to the main 2/0 cable. No monitoring, but they do have an handy setup guide with recommended settings, specific for each manufacturer (including Outback). Note to all: Schneider XW can still not set its LVD above 48, which basically makes it incompatible with most Li+ batteries. Their tech support has been abysmal as well. We're looking forward to them as one of the larger companies in the business, to put additional resources into their engineering, and come out with at least a firmware update to correct this problem.

They are considering using Discover, Blue-Ion, Battle Born or SimpliPhi batteries. Does any one have any recommendations of which battery functions best with the Outback system.
