Midnite just changed their absorb voltage to 56.4V.  For what its worth, I treat the batteries from manufacturers exactly the way they say, I don't want to do anything that may jeopardize the warranty.  Also with LFP batteries, its not just a pile of cells, no doubt each manufacturer has their

Today I installed 3 of the MN POWERFLO 5 batteries with an OBVFX3648 Per the battery label I was able to set the inverter LBCO to 46 vdc. I see that the battery BMS range Is 44.8-58 vdc We should be good to go. Jeremy Rodriguez Solar Installation / Design All Solar, Inc. 1453 M St. Penrose Color

Can the mate3SL not use the mate3S firmware? Is there a reason to need a version other than 001.004.007? Or am I misunderstanding your post? Tyrone Houck Oregon Solarworks LLC CCB #204937 LRT #076 541-787-1366 tyr...@oregonsolarworks.com On Mon, Feb 3, 2025, 12:50 PM Nick Lucchese via RE-wrenche

Jay, great questions. One of the few good things about the OutBack Skybox (I think it was that one) was the lifting holes on the upper back corners so that a bar or pipe could be run through making it much easier for a lift into place. Maybe for the 300 lb batteries lifting eyes on all four top cor

Hi All Im wondering about a few things as we are talking batteries. 1. how do people feel about the amphenol battery connector vs lugs? A lot of batteries are going that way. Lots to like about them. 2. battery cable lengths. I see both things said, that they have to be the same length or d

HI Nick Thanks but I’m curious about 1 thing. The charged voltage they list here is around 57v. But the charge voltage specifics I just got from midnite say 56.4. What’s up with that I don’t understand which is correct. jay > On Feb 3, 2025, at 1:45 PM, Nick Lucchese via RE-wrenches > wrote

Greetings Wrenches, Perhaps I'm one of the few stuck with a handful of the Mate3-SL units that was counting on Outback's promise that they would be upgraded for free once the chips became available but that promise was not carried on to the new owners. I believe most all of the Flexpower Radian pa

Hi Bill I tried and failed to find any setting information on that battery besides charge and float. Kinda need to know things like LVD, recommended LBCO, etc. But if it’s similar to other prismatic cells you should be able to set the OB inverter to a LBCO that works without having to go throu
