Re: [RE-wrenches] Schneider Insight Home and Insight Cloud

My experience with using Insight and Xanbus is that the projects never end. It is too bad, since Schneider equipment seems really good. The software issues don't seem to ever get completely solved. Possibly with a very simple system, the Xanbus might work OK. _Drake Chamberlin_ _Athens Electr

Re: [RE-wrenches] Deka Duration

Read the warranty. Very limited uses to maintain coverage. Mfg by an Italian Co that is somewhat condescending toward customers. But of course East Penn is good to work with. My understanding is that they do work with the three phase Sol-Ark inverters. Brad On Wed, Feb 7, 2024 at 4:52 AM William

Re: [RE-wrenches] Schneider Insight Home and Insight Cloud

I guess the SCP is back in production. But if I understand correctly you still need the insight to program the XWPRO versions? thx jay > On Feb 7, 2024, at 8:50 AM, Drake Chamberlin via RE-wrenches > wrote: > > My experience with using Insight and Xanbus is that the projects never end.

[RE-wrenches] Lithium batteries

One of the things that I’m just now learning is about BMS failure/warranty/fix/replacement. Some can be field installed some need to go back to the OEM. I guess its something else we need to check on. Jay > On Feb 7, 2024, at 9:06 AM, Bradley Bassett via RE-wrenches > wrote: > > Read

Yes, I’ve put a few systems together with these batteries, smaller ones. Some larger ones in the queue. The product itself seems well designed, and flexible for many different configurations – low or high voltage and scales from 1 to 100’s of batteries. The WiFi / Bluetooth software interface &

Re: [RE-wrenches] rolls battery question

The three interconnects between the 2v cells are bolted. If they are over 15 years they might be welded...

[RE-wrenches] generator charging question/VFX3524

Hi folks: So, we have a customer (equipment not acquired from us) with an older OUTBACK VFX3524, charging their 3 X RB24V200 ReLion LFP batteries vis a vis one leg of their generator. The battery is capable of up to 200A recharge though the manufacturer recommends 10~100A. The customer has

Re: [RE-wrenches] generator charging question/VFX3524

Chris, I am doing just what you are contemplating. I have a 6000 watt Briggs & Stratton Gasoline worksite generator and had the same issue charging my Fortress Eflex batteries. I was getting 25 amps off one leg but the genny wasn't happy about it. I ran another line off of leg 2 directly to an I

Re: [RE-wrenches] Lithium batteries

We just had a complete failure of a set of four Simpliphi 3.8 KWh batteries, 48 v.  It has completely changed my thoughts on Li+ for off grid.  This set lasted 5 years, which is about equal to bottom of the barrel Golf Cart batteries.  The RMA/ Warranty process has not been smooth.  It took alm
