I'm not an expert like yourself, bro.
But I think you are not totally correct.

I have 2 batteries that when you hit the BMS cut off voltage, it won't come ON when there is charge. You have to bring it ON manually.


Does that mean the batteries or BMS is bad?
If you have an ok BMS, it should come on by itself.

If it doesn't, BMS may be of low quality.

Good morning

Please if I discharge my battery till BMS shut down, how do I start it again? Will the inverter connected be able to wake it up and resume charging? Or I must use a separate dedicated lifepo4 charger?

Please how do I get it done? The bms of Haisic is limiting charge/float (27.2v/26.6v), and from the info you it was recommended to drain till bms shut down. Please how to I wake it up? Thanks for your reply
These things are automatic. Battery gets discharged, it goes off. Battery sees charge it comes on. No need for manual input to do either of them. Unless there is an issue.

Who has any experience with this new product
48v 5kwh going for 800k
The more the merrier.


Lead acid will soon be relegated to the backstage.

Price looks ok


But I don't know what battery cell they have or the BMS they use

I'd recommend you buy from Mr Reed or the Valtech guy.

At least you'd know what's inside.

Cheers.

Where do you place SRNE and Deye then? They are almost the same price with Victron angry
You are right.

The inverter is a Firman inverter 5kva 48v transformer based hybrid while the battery is lvtopsun 51.2v 200ah. I simply reset everything by turning off the inverter and battery for a few minutes then turning them back on again. Somehow it resolved the issue. I attached some images. The first is the battery reading from the inverter while the second is from the battery when fully charged. Is this normal
Oh, that's cool. Just like in a PC, a good restart may just be all that you need to fix some issue.

Good morning. My inverter just dey show me shege. Anytime I try to change a setting for example if I go into settings and want to change the charge priority or bulk charge value. The moment I change it, it shows an error the reverts the setting.i just changed to default. This means that I can't change anything. What do I do to solve this
Just to add some recommendations that could be helpful. You may want to add this to your query:

1) inverter make

2) inverter specification

3) Battery make or type and possible brand name

4) Image of the error/fault you got.

Gracias

Above, I guess, will help you get faster resolution to your issue.

There's two actually

The 2nd one is only cracked at the back since it's bifacial. The front is clean no crack

Do you Reckon it's a good buy?
Better to buy the one with crack at the back for ₦30k.
Crack in front no work at all.
Cheers.

This brand new JA 430w is broken at the top left corner. It's bifacial

Is it a good buy? Unbroken is 118k

This is 80k
Only a good buy at 10k

So by next year you'd replace it.

Cheers.

i also so that post and was confused, I don't know if he has done a capacity test on it before.

Dare pulled 290ah on those battery, mine is set at 280ah.
.

I'm waiting to hear how he arrived at that.

You know, it'd make for an interesting read.

I think it's 208Ah at 12v,either way 316ah is still bigger
Interesting, how did you arrive at this?

Jbond:
I noticed he later mentioned 3.8kwh is bigger. But my reason for asking was because of the difference in volt in both, normally i know a 3.8kwh is bigger than a 2.5kwh. But because the 2.5kwh is 24v and the 3.8kwh is 12v, hence my confusion on which will be better for a total watts load of 528watts? (freezer inclusive).

And is Cworth lifepo4 battery a good branr, or please if you can recommend another better brand bro
Amp-hours (Ah)= Energy (kWh)×1000 ÷ Voltage (V)

So, the 3.8kWh at 12V = 3800÷12≈ 316Ah

While 2.5kWh at 24V = 2500+24 ≈104Ah


316Ah is bigger than 104Ah

Elizkid:
Whenever there’s grid supply my inverter displays error
Code 10 instead of charging.

The error code 10 says “Output Power Derating.”

What does that mean?
What's your grid voltage reading?

Is your cooling fans working as it should?

Your inverter may be detecting grid voltage that is outside its acceptable operating range and is derating its output to protect itself.

Peterlove11:
Yes
That's interesting.

R & D do pay off.

Just like the mono and poly technology, the HF inverter makers are closely bridging that gap with LF inverters that it's now a blur.
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 7:55am On Jul 13, 2025
Peterlove11:
Get your HF inverter, ensure it's protected and enjoy. They've come a long way and it's the future. I have used both LF and HF, anyday am still picking HF. They are equally reliable.
That's my SMS HF inverter delivering loads close to its full rated capacity. Another advantage, they are efficient in inverting DC to AC.
10KVA?

You can DIY your way through the fan noise of your inverter by buying a simple fan controller with temperature sensor for less than $3

Greetings.


Please I just added 4 additional panel of 615w to my old 4 pieces of 615w and then changed the charged controller to 120.

I am using 5kva felicity inverter and 8.5 lithium battery

Kindly see the error code on the image as attached

What is the likely cause and solution

Mind you the battery is 100% charged now as we speak as the error 4 comes and go off at interval
What's your battery voltage reading at the time this error shows up?

Airfryers surge sir. My Hisense starts with 2400W then drops to 1200/1300/1400W. Thesame thing with Non-inverter microwaves. THEY SURGE ooooooo
My airfryer don't surge. Just the usual heating element start and stop duration which varies based on set temperature. The higher the set temperature, the higher the frequency of heating element being on than off.

Please I need real users of regular energy efficient microwave and air fryer.
Recommendations pls.
I use Hisense airfryer.

Wattage fluctuates between 1300w to 1600w based on set temperature.

Since the maximum I usually have it on, at a time, is 17 minutes, I'm not that bothered.

HeavenlyBang:
This is 24kw of inverters, I suppose? Why exactly does a residential building need this much power.
ACs, water heaters

My guy's home total load is 22kw if everything is on
Just a small duplex.

So I can understand 24kw inverter.

Pnutmillionaire:
Good day guys, my deye throws an f56 dc_voltlow_fault some nights and the inverter trips and comes back up 3 minutes later, battery is well charged at over 90% when it does this and voltage is usually over 54v. Battery is communicated well with inverter and has 2A active balancer jk bms. Anyone has experience with this or can help ?
This fault likely indicates a momentary voltage drop (sag) on the inverter's DC busbar under load, rather than a sustained low battery voltage.
Potential causes and solutions include:

1) High Inrush Current: Large appliances (like fridges) starting can cause a brief, significant current draw and voltage dip. Solution: Reduce peak loads, increase inverter's "Max Discharge Current" setting.

2) Poor DC Wiring/Connections: Inadequate cable size or loose connections create resistance and voltage drop. Solution: Inspect and tighten all battery cable connections; ensure cables are appropriately sized.



3) BMS Issues: Intermittent communication, a weak cell causing the BMS to trip, or overly aggressive BMS low-voltage settings. Solution: Monitor individual cell voltages via the JK BMS app during the fault, verify communication, and review BMS low-voltage limits.


Troubleshooting involves identifying specific night-time loads, monitoring inverter and BMS data during the fault, and checking all DC connections.
