is it a 24 or 48v battery bank.
It’s a 24v bank. The challenge is that the luminous inverter is not hybrid

Is that the luminous with parameters that is not editable? If yes then I don't think it will help much for optimal charging but it will charge just ensure your BMS hvd are conservative enough.... Get a better inverter once pepper rest sha

I think he can buy external charger for it nah... Or will it not be sufficient?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 4:35pm On Sep 16, 2022
U need to state the wattages of those fans and check ur laptop adapter for the wattage too. A 12v system will do just 5n if ur total load no pass 600-800w

This was exactly my thought. Buy and external charger to charge with grid, as well CC for the panels.
The next question will now be if the Luminous with CC and panels can charge the lithium battery bank

It is not editable, I actually bought that before I knew about Lithium. I have tried to sell the luminous so I can add money and get Deye or TBB but have been able to sell it.
So I want to know how and if the luminous can be used with LP bank pending when I will upgrade to hybrid

While optimal charging may be achieved with those external ingridents, there is the discharging part as well which will remain sub optimal but the BMS will always serve as last resort protection sha.

That said the cost of doing all that should already get him an hybrid inverter.

The OP can always rig up a cheap voltage sensing relay for LVD.

The XH M611 on AliExpress fits the bill quite nicely.

Critically the charging on the Luminous can get up to 28.8v which works out to 3.6v per 3.2v cell - this is within tolerance but rather high for day to day charging.

I think OP should draw up a complete bill of materials for purchasing an inverter & solar charger (hybrid) suitable for LFP vs rigging up various knick-knacks to achieve safe charge and discharge, compare the alternative costs vs his long term goals for his system and then move from there.

Top BMS, has anyone used it around here?
Hopefully it balances this battery.
Long time! Did you solder the cells because it's as if the wire linking the cells has different resistance hence you are seeing cell "6" lagging behind, though your BMS has average balancing current, did you balance charge the individual cells before assembling? If no, try to charge cell "6" to push the voltage closer.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 12:51pm On Sep 18, 2022
you did good with this installation, all i see is improvements in your ideas and skills ......... happy for you.

what i believe you should do to maximize things is

1. introduction of 275Vac SPD [Budget] or a Midnite 300Vac SPD to all incoming AC connections to the inverter area, ensure you have a good earth connection to complete thee SPD install

2. introduce 600 - 500Vdc SPD for both your inverters since they work with solar panels, also a DC breaker from panels to inverter incase non was present.

sure others will have a thing or two to say.
More power to your elbows

if you reduce your fan from normal ones to DC/ energy saving types then it is possible that you get a starter package on your budget with lead acid

considering you will need a
1kva
220Ah/200Ah Tubular
30-60A PWM charge controller
300W [150Wx 2]
other materials void of basic protection for your system.

you need 600W to charge the battery but with a fair grid supply you can run with this till you can increase budget.

1. Buy a good MPPT charge controller with editable settings
2. Use a BMS with editable settings over bluetooth and if i can trigger a low battery signal, so you know when to put if off

Thank you, I remember building this with your help.
It's a huge pack of 256 batteries, I was hoping the BMS would balance it is why I bought it.
I didn't balance the batteries before assembling then together..
Also the balancing wires are not soldered. I may have to unpack and solder the balancing wires.

Unpack all and run a group of 3 sets.
Charge each set full(balance), allow dem to rest for few weeks to check for voltage drop then connect dem as 3s. You will enjoy it well.
The challenge is how to get a charger that can do 4.2v.

I suspect the fuse at the battery side is cut. I had a similar challenge with an inverter once. I opened it located the fuse and gently replaced it. Working well since

Good day all,
please i need some who can repair 3kva hybrid i power inverter. it does not supply energy when on battery or solar but only supply when there is public power

You should get a spot welder, you will find one for 25usd below on AliExpress, I bet it's so stressful doing it this way!

Spot welding is great no doubt but I need my materials nearby. One can only order dem. Had to soldered 324 psc eventually not at once though.


Now I am super enjoying it bro. The days of stress is over.

1. As I plan to also use grid to charge the bank, what capacity lithium charger do I need? Size and brand

2. Do I need 60A or 80A Charge Controller for 2.8kva /8kwh banks? And what good brand CC can you recommend?
