Hi Kent,
Yes that’s what I mean.
According to the manual I’ve got, up to 52v for the low, 64 for the high.
Which is high enough to do what the simpliphi needs.

I like that approach, Jay. Great idea. It gets the job done and is self
contained - using only the features of the inverter. The remote power
off could still be used with another remote switch. If there aren't
enough aux output ports in the system, one could add a Morningstar relay
driver.

Hi Ray,
We have been working with most of the leading lithium manufacturers for several
years now. Some have already implemented closed-loop integration such as
Discover, other we are working with open-loop integration with Simpliphi,
Fortress, Blue Ion, others.
For the manufactures that are op
Another way to buy more time with simplyphi would be to minimize LBCO
hysteresis voltage and LBCO delay time. This would shut down the inverter
sooner. They appear to be set at the defaults and could go lower.

That was our kludgey plan, if Schneider can't do a firmware update. The
issue I have with that, is the no load draw of the inverter is still 25
watts, so eventually it could still pull the batteries into full shutdown.

What ever battery you may decide on make sure it's both Fire rated and UL
listed. I have had customers require this from their insurance companies

Ray,
I agree it is a kludgey way to accomplish a low battery cut off. But, it
doesn't change the no load draw issue. No load draw is still a problem
even if the normal low battery cut off adjustment has enough range. At
least with most lithium batteries there is a secondary shutoff.

Wrenchers,
I seem to continue to have my foot stuck in the past
regarding off-grid. Off -grid seems to have more of an element of a
need for reliability, redundancy, klugability. Believe me L-ion
batteries and especially the "total units" like the:

Bill,
I too have the same issues and the only reliable (long term) way offgrid
is to have both chemistries. You get the best of the new battery types
(partial Soc tolerant) and the reliability of a a LA battery without any
electronics adding new ways to lose power. By having both hooked up to

Hi David, I have used "Iron Edison" they will custom build a LiFe PO
battery to your specifications
There may be a way to combine LiFe and Pb acid, using the LiFe PO for
cycling and the Pb for high energy.
If cycling is a smaller portion of the load.

Blue planet has money behind them and already years of manufacturing, many
more years then some of the other manufacturers out there

Discover Battery has been around since just after WWII. I think that since
each Li battery is native to the system voltage, the way to get some
redundancy is to simply have more than one battery, most systems will
anyway. Then if one fails you can use the other ones until the failed one
is replaced
Hi Wrenches,
A client alerted me to the fact he can't connect via the Conext Solar
app on his phone for the last few days. I tried and got the same thing
"Service Unavailable - try again later".
The website works fine - but anyone else having the same result with the
phone app?

Yes ! CI2 has been down since friday for 3 of us. Probably some pretty
big things going on when you can't go to work. I heard the server needs to
be re-booted. My droid table app works at the house but both apple and
droid phones are down.

Simpliphi has been around since 2002, so they actually are older than
their 10 year old warranty. Most other companies can't make that
claim. As far as reliability, each 3.8 kWh is independent, so you can
just shut down a bad unit and send it in for repair. I'm building
