OCTAVO:

Not advisable, it will burn the inbuilt charger quickly. As a matter of fact, the inbuilt charger does not last.
It's even better to buy the one that doesn't have inbuilt charger, and buy charger separately, that was what I did.

Please what kind of charger should I buy, my inbuilt charger has stopped charging my battery, it's now showing a stable red light instead of the usual blinking green light.

Good morning My seniors, please I have the following issue
*My 2000w suoer inverter's inbuilt charger stopped charging my battery, what should I do?
*If I need a replacement, what external charger would you recommend? I'm using one 12v 200Ah battery.
*Also, the inverter does not have a digital display, how do I acertain the battery percentage and all?

OkoroPeugeot:


What's the performance of the Pure Sine model like?

Is the 4000w tag real? Can the surge carry 1hp Sumo pump?

I have one that looks like that in my cart on AE but fear de do me to buy



Not 4000w.

If you look closely at the inverter you'll see where they stated that the peak power is 1000w and actual power is 500w. But I plan to only power devices less than 200w with it and non of them will involve appliances with 2x to 5x starting power.

This is is my mobile inverter for use on the move.

What's your battery bank size?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 12:39pm On Sep 27, 2021
You may be overcomplicating your needs.

Since you already have a BMV in your system you are able to see power in and out of battery, SoC e.t.c - these parameters are sufficient for basic monitoring and you can easily connect your BMV to an existing Raspberry Pi to put the metrics online (EmonCMS e.t.c)

Are there any specific parameters you wish to see on the Multiplus that will make you need something more elaborate?








netotse:

I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, I already have home assistant running on a PI, the issue I have is how to get into the Multiplus. Had to run HAOS because it's a Pi3 I have and a supervised install kept freezing. I have another Pi I want to use as a media server so I would be loathe to convert it to an EMS just because of Victron.



can you share a link? my issue is the range of cables, it seems
1. For the CC I need a normal cable, (seen somewhere I can use a cable and ESP chip to hack serial to wifi)
2. For the BMV 712 I would need another cable as well,
3. For the multiplus it seems I need to choose between a different type of cable from 1 and 2 and another type of Bluetooth dongle,

mennnn victron will find it difficult to scale at this rate, they seem to enjoy making things complicated

In the business of inverter, you get what you pay for. Just checked out my Suoer modified Sinewave Inverter and a random transformerless pure Sinewave inverter. The portable oscilloscope just showed me what I already know. Lol grin


This is cool. Nice one boss. Could you please provide the links to buy the oscilloscope and pure sinewave inverter you used in your experiment?

Have you tried a pulse repair charger on them?
If they're not too far gone it greatly improves their performance

Thanks for the link, boss.

Lol...if the price was 70usd in 2017 and it now sells for 73.30usd (less than 3.5usd increase. I want to assume that the 90.30usd pice they struck out is a marketing gimmick), then it means the price inflated by less than 5% in 4 years. E no bad at all.

Meanwhile, abeg which one should be pick in the highlighted option, and can the inverter carry stuffs like fridge?

Read the reviews, and note the stated power is the peak power and the running power is like half. So a 1600w has like 700w running power. I doubt any of these inverter is ok to run a fridge for long. The starting surge may damage it. Also remember the inverter has no internal battery charger.

The type you buy depends on what you plan to power, and yes our frequency is 50Hz @ 220/230v.

Good day Guys,

Anyone with a DC SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE of 120V - 200VDC MAX.

ALSO what is the best Indelec lighting protection at the moment, with a counter too I presume?

AliExpress ruled against me. It was a painful experience. I provided pictures and all, but I guess what they needed was a video of me opening the package. How was I to know that the item inside was already broken and therefore make a video of me opening it in order to prove it arrived broken?

I just took it as my loss.
Chai... I always make sure i snap or video package opening whenever i pick up items. Just in case.

I have gotten refund everytime i made a case.

I actually want to see just the BMV and the CC, the cable for the multiplus is just so I can change the settings when I want, the idea of having something I don't have control over is doing me somehow.

wrt emoncms and the Pi, the distance between the Pi and the CC/BMV is too long to use USB cable and Bluetooth wont work*
are you aware of any other way to get the data into the Pi?


*From what I've gathered, the bluetooth API for Victron is closed so it cant be used for integration with emoncms/HA, it only works with the APP


olopan:
Looking at you, one kin as you just dey mention Pi3 .... That thing is 45k minimum now ... grin


Lol I got them in 2016 and 2018 o, before things went to the next level, I got one out of curiousity, the second came as an EmonCMS base station when I used it for energy monitoring. I've retired that and now run HAOS on that Pi, the second one is a media server.
