Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by FerrariBaron(f):
Please my fellow lithium enthusiast, between a SRNE 2.56kwh 24 lithium battery and a Bread 5kwh 24v lithium battery, which should i go for since they are both within my budget. I dont know if the SRNE and the Bread lithium battery have smart BMS.

The total watts i want to use the system for is below 700 watts, thank you

Good evening house

Please I observe my 12v 4kwh Haisic battery charges rather fast from 11v to about 13.5 but takes ages to charge up to 14.6v. This happens both with solar charging and grid charge
The charge curve has a sigmoid shape. It takes a long time to reach full charge from around 13.2v.

How come you normally hit 14.6v. I thought Lifepo4 12v batteries shouldn't exceed 14.4v.
Are you sure you're not overcharging your battery?

Bread without a doubt.

Thanks, not so sure of the exact charge cut off. Only been able to hit it once so you may be right about 14.4

Buy the biggest battery you can.

Mrreed, Valto, Haisic all sell affordable batteries.

If you have to choose between the two listed, definitely the 5kwh from Bread. Buy directly from their store if possible and ask any questions before buying.

Thank you very much for your response.

I wanted to buy same battery and inverter, but since you that is experienced said the bread battery is okay, i read on this thread that their inverter is noisy and all that.

So please what inverter brand will comminicate well with the bread battery.

And will 4 true rated 450 to 500 watts panels be okay for the 3kva inverter and 5kwh battery set up?
Thank you very much

Case by case basis on communication. I don't know what protocol Bread uses.

2000w is passable. You can survive on it but you're probably best served going up to 3000w.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 1:26pm On Jul 28, 2025
There is Feeo brand in case you need it.

there is no 30A only 32A

3.65 on full charge is okay for lithium batteries.

Mine charges to 14.6 everyday.

Good Afternoon Mrreed,
Whats the largest 48v battery you currently produce with metal case that has tires?
With Bluetooth BMS.

Ok thanks, please i just confirmed the battery has no communication port, but it has the usual inbuilt bms.

Pls is the no communication port going to be an issue or its something that can work like that? Thanks

there's this thing that people do, where they say let's meet in person, I used to think it's for teenagers but a grown adult suggesting it in big 2025 shows how unexposed you are. Is it that you want to engage in a physical bare knuckle fight like Russian under dog fighter and fight them till they drop deeaad or what's the plan?

Your attitude is very myopic, you need to stop it.

Thank you my brother, you have exactly spoken my mind
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Collione: 5:15pm On Jul 28, 2025
I want to take this opportunity to appreciate this group in my inverter journey. I love my set up so far. The 10kwh battery is monstrous for my daily usage so much so that I barely consume 10 percent every night with fridge and fan on and the Firman inverter is a champ although I'm still disappointed that it can't communicate via BMS still but I set the parameters as bulk 54.4v and float as 54.0v keeping my battery at 96 percent full charge not 100 though the recommendation is 55.2 bulk and 54.4 float. If anyone is able to communicate Firman with lvtopsun I'd like to hear it as it's important to me. God bless you all for your amazing work

Are you sure this will not have a long term effect on the battery? I think the recommended full charge voltage for each cell is 3.6v, because my CC always gets into a defence mode with a bleep sound and Red icon alert whenever my battery hits 14.6v.

You have my contact I believe, You need to use RS485 communication protocol. Set RS485 Communication using the screen to Pylon.
