hardywaltz: Hello, good morning . You are highly welcomed to the forum ! Outback is also a solid mppt cc. I have quite a number of client's using same charge controller and can give you a more in-depth explanation of how the outback operates .. -Dunka -Saipro etc can assist you on outback cc questions. Must power star inverters 4-6kw 48v can basically power your off grid needs but it kinda has upto 80-130w idle consumption .. You can also contact me for USA Magnum inverter 4348 with 50a max charge current capability at a discounted price if interested ... Cheer's Smartcell global services 081-350-31951 1 Like |

NiyiOmoIyunade: had to do further research, the icellpower 12v charging current is listed as 30amps n not >50amps as u said. i have a must power 48v 4kva inverter, with my clamp meter it clocks in at 29.5amps, while the display states 31amps. so really interested in the icellpower 12v inverter that outputs >45amps. https://www.icellpower.ng/product-page/1-5kva-12v-inverter-icellpower |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by kiekie1(m): 2:17pm On Jan 17, 2018 |
earthrealm: Hello, it depends on the must power you have . Power starlight series 4kw 48v to 6kw 48v has upto 40-45amps charge current . Power star light series ranging from 1kw to 2kva 12v has upto 50/60a charge current .. The 12v & 24v 3kw specs have higher charge current features than the 48v units. In its manual , the above listed is stated 70amps theoretically. You get to see Max charge current when your batteries are depleted and in bulk charge mode .. It drops whilst charging from constant current mode to constant voltage to float charge . Cheer's |

Does anybody know anything about the LPT3000-224 inverter (https://cloudenergy.com.ng/products/3kw-home-inverter) from Cloud Energy? It has the same shape and design as the MUST EP3000 series inverters, and seems to be based off CoSuper/Devel LPT3000 series inverters from china. The AIMS inverter (http://www.aimscorp.net/3000-Watt-Pure-Sine-Inverter-Charger-24-Volt.html) also seems to be based of the cosuper inverter. It claims an idle power consumption of less than 10W |

The Lithium invasion has started I fixed one in India at home when on vacation and it' superb - Touch control, Phone interface and charging time of 2 hours with Built in 800 Watt MPPT . The lithium battery is small though 20 AH 50 V ( 1 WKH) designed for indian situations . Only 1 KVA for now 2 KVA coming in June with larger battery and add-on unit for longer storage. Mine was one of the first 4 pieces in India Looks fabulous tough on the wall https://www.luminousindia.com/regalia/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN_pXvpqrWs |

Boss! See below my exact words - I bolded the relevant portions. I reconfirm the charging amp measurements for the MustPower I checked out your link for the ICellPower 1.5kva 12v and it lists 30amps. There is a 2kva version which is rated at 40amps but sadly I could not find a link to post Perhaps it is out of stock. I reiterate that budget permitting, the OP can easily combine two ICellPower units (1.5kva 12v costs ~70k/unit per the website) to get more amps or combine 1unit of ICellPower with a Soeur Smart Charger if his battery chemistry tolerates a 14.8volt absorb setpoint or he is unwilling/unable to mod the Souer. earthrealm: NiyiOmoIyunade: |

I tried the Su-Kam 24v version once and sorry to say they did nothing to balance my battery voltage. Victron has a balancer which has good reviews but I am discouraged by the wiring complexity required to install them especially in a 48v battery bank or if you use a 6v in series battery setup. The victron battery balancer is also pretty pricey in my opinion. I posted a link below as a starting point... https://www.victronenergy.com/batteries/battery-balancer Here is another bonus link for a battery balancer of unknown provenance which I am by no means recommending https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s?k=zhc+battery+balancer If one battery in your bank tests consistently lower than the others in voltage, you might want to isolate it and charge it properly and if the chemistry permits do an equalization then put it back in service together with the good batteries after all of them are fully charged.

NiyiOmoIyunade:do u mean i can combine two inverters to achieve higher current for charging the battery?? If it so, then i have a another 700watt inverter which i can connect in parallel to achieve higher current |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Feshizzy(m): 2:17am On Jan 19, 2018 |
NiyiOmoIyunade: Thank you very much for your time in replying, Actually, I have fully charge them individually to balance them before putting them in a pack, One of the battery seems to have a higher voltage during float charge. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 7:49am On Jan 19, 2018 |
Yes! Most definitely you can combine two inverters or charge sources on one battery bank to increase the net charging amps going into the battery bank. At any point in time one inverter will both power your house loads and charge the battery bank while the other one will only be dedicated to charging the battery bank. - the AC output side to your house loads will not be used at all for that second inverter but/or if you want to switch your house loads between the inverters you use a changeover/knife switch between the two inverters' AC outputs to keep them electrically isolated from each other. Please note you cannot combine/parallel the AC output of two inverters except the manufacturer specifically says so but you can easily parallel the DC/battery side without issues. In your case simply disconnect all power sources, switch off DC breakers, then connect the positive battery cable of both inverters to the positive battery post or busbar and then the negative battery cable of both inverters to the negative battery post or bus bar of your battery bank - basically thesame way you would set up one inverter only but now you simply connect both inverters to thesame point/post on the battery terminals ryusufu: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 7:59am On Jan 19, 2018 |
You are welcome Sir. How large is the voltage difference between the batteries? if one is reading say 13.1v and the other 13.0v when fully charged and when discharged to your DoD cutoff point e g 50% discharge, you have one reading 12.2v and the other 12.1v under load, then there is obviously some capacity or State of Charge difference but you really shouldn't be bothered. In my experience, one may never get battery voltage to converge exactly despite all measures taken. You should only be worried if say for example one battery reads 12.2v and the other 11.5v under load at around the 50% discharge point - that kind of voltage difference is the only one worth bothering over. Feshizzy: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Feshizzy(m): 10:02am On Jan 19, 2018 |
NiyiOmoIyunade:At float, Three batteries reads 13.3v while the last one reads 14.1v. At DoD is quite the same, I have tried manually balancing like a said before by charging them individually to full. But after a while it becomes unbalanced after few usage!! |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mank1234(m): 10:53am On Jan 19, 2018 |
Feshizzy: You should be worried if the difference in the voltages is more than 0.3V. You may not notice the effect now. One battery is overcharging while the other is undercharging. Overtime, one of the batteries will fail. The higher your charging current the faster this will happen, especially, if your setup doesn't equalize in more than a month. It happen to me once. While one battery was very strong, a cell in the one that was undercharging died. Before then during equalization stage when voltage to both batteries was 28.8V, one used to read like 16.2 while the other read like 12.6. You'll also get a slightly better AH from a well balanced battery bank than from one that is out of balance. Get Victron battery balancer. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Feshizzy(m): 11:38am On Jan 19, 2018 |
mank1234:Thank you very much for your insight, Same unbalanced state is where i find my batteries currently, Do you know where I could get the battery balancer and at what rate did you also get yours? My System is 48v Thank you in advance |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mank1234(m): 1:04pm On Jan 19, 2018 |
Feshizzy: Got one at 72.25USD from Amazon. It's currently out of stock. Check eBay if you can get it there. Because your system is 48V, you'll need 3 of it. Alternatively, you can get other brand from aliexpress. The one I got from Aliexpress didn't last up to 6months. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by kiekie1(m): 1:27pm On Jan 19, 2018 |
mank1234: I won't really advice him to use the Victron brand or any balancer on those set of mixed batteries which we do not really know their history ... If he newly bought and installed 4 sets altogether , I would have seconded the motion of the battery balancers performing tremendously well ! Cheer's 3 Likes |

Good afternoon my ogas, pls I need a used solar panel of maybe 12v/150watts or 200watts. Anyone that has for sale can contact me. I am tired of using generator to charge my battery. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 2:10pm On Jan 19, 2018 |
Mank1234 is on point on all counts. You either identify and fix or replace the one bad battery in your bank or you buy a balancer. The Victron battery balancer is probably the best name brand out there but by jove is it pricey! . You are looking at 70pounds (35thousand naira) apiece and you will need 3 pieces for a 48v bank and I do hate the wiring complexity it brings. Find it here on Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01DH6B2D2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516366319&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=victron+battery+balancer&dpPl=1&dpID=51uMlarppnL&ref=plSrch 3 pieces Victron balancer is already the cost of a new 12v 200ah battery so you choose... If you were a betting man I would ask you to go with the ZHC version on Amazon US https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s?k=zhc+battery+balancer You need only one unit for a 48v system and it is much simpler to wire and nothing much to lose at around 70USD total landed cost. See the link below for youtube reviews of the ZHC from offgriders so you can gain some confidence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaLGR_XF9ek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMOz-5JeAy0 I have been in bad battery scenarios both for myself and for clients a few times so I know how it feels.

NiyiOmoIyunade: Thank you very much for your contribution Mr Niyi, I have been eyeing that chinese balancer for a while, Just wondering if anyone has had some experience with them, So far so good the only known issue is the low pitch noise it produce after a while. I have also seen those videos and many others that shows the stuff really works even with different battery age and size. Cheers! Regards!! |
