I meant the efficiency of the electrical transfer of energy to the EV battery, not necessarily total system efficiency.  In general, higher charge rates means more heat, more line losses, etc.  Just look at the efficiency specs vs charge rate for any battery; its basic physics.  The lead acid b

The good LFP batteries all tell you max charge/discharge rate and that in their specifications. Cascading of batteries usually widens these rates. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net [2] text 209 813 006

I think what he means is that the battery lifespan will improve with slower charging. On that note, I have not seen much concrete information on how high charge rates affect all of these newer lithium batteries. They all claim outwardly that their battery can be charged fast, because let's face it

>Lower charge rates are more efficient both for the car's battery and the solar/ battery system I don't get that. Our house battery is full at about 11 a.m., so we have about four hours to charge the car. During that time we make about 6KW, so the car uses 5KW of that and charges up. If I went to t

Also have a customer with a Leaf that can charge from a dual GVFX system.  He uses the 120 vac charger.  Lower charge rates are more efficient both for the car's battery and the solar/ battery system, so I recommend sticking to the 120 vac chargers if possible. Ray Walters Remote Solar 303 505

Jones Solaredge does not like to surge or ramp up quickly, in conversations with SE the fix might be a variable frequency controller, I do not know how the controller you have will work but historically that the cure. Jerry On Mon, Jun 8, 2020, 8:15 AM Jon Siegenthaler wrote: > Hey Wrenchers, >

Hi Jon, I have zero experience with the LG RESU 10H hi voltage battery. I assume resu10H is what you mean and not resu10? That said I did alot of testing with Schneider and LG for their attempt to make a 48V resu10 NMC offgrid system in 2017. Schneider had to derate XW+ to less than it's fu

Hey Wrenchers, This is an installation with two Solaredge Storedge 7.6 inverters and the LG Chem Resu 10 batteries. When the utility goes down the two inverters for the solar switch over to back up mode and feed two separate dedicated loads panels. One panel works fine and all of the dedicated lo
