Thanks for the feedback Steve - glad it was a success

Hi Kenneth, it is a 23A battery. Also known as code MN21.

Depends on the inverter. The inverter generally reads the battery voltage. The voltage remains the same but the voltage drops more slowly due to the added capacity. You do however need to look at your charge settings. You should double your charge amperage. Nominal charging rate is C/2 where C is the capacity of the battery. These batteries are 74A each so max charge current should not exceed 37A for one battery and 74A for two batteries

Thanks. Can you tell me, is it necessary to switch off the inverter when installing the 2nd battery or can I just trip the breaker between the inverter and the batteries?

Apologies for the late response - no changes on the dip switches. You only need to worry about dip switches if you have more than 4 batteries

Glad it was helpful!

No problem at all! In fact, that is the recommended method, i don t know why he connected the negative to the second one.

Hi, it will work but you wont have any protection. Its best to have a fuse between the inverter and battery. Apologies for the delayed response.

Glad you found it useful

Yes, I was thinking that. I am having real problems with this but it seems to be set the first dip switch to on on the master battery so it is at the correct baud rate for the inverter (if 9600B/s) and then all other batteries have all dip switches set to off. If you have a 115200 baud system that is different but I think most are 9600 - my Solis is and you can check on the settings screen of the inverter. Hope that helps - and works!

Hi Alfredo, each UP5000 battery will give you 4.8kwh of capacity but will only allow you to draw a maximum continuous power of 2.4kw (battery capacity divided in half). So both a 5kw or 10kw inverter would work but a 10kw inverter would be overkill with limited batteries and solar panels. The advantage of a bigger inverter is that it allows you to expand your system over time by just adding more batteries and panels. If you have 2 x UP5000 batteries with a 5kw inverter you would be able to run the full inverter load of 5kw on the batteries alone without utility or solar. Hope that helps.

Hi Gabriel, it shouldn’t take too long to balance. Given the small difference in voltage between the two batteries it should be ok to connect them. In general you should be fine if the same number of LEDs are green on each battery

Thanks Victor. Yes you can. I ran my 5kva inverter with a single 3.5Kwh for over a year. It will handle 500w of continuous load with no issues for close to 6 hours - depending of course on what your low voltage cut off settings are. With a single battery you can draw a maximum continuous load of 1800 watts

Hi Agustin, thank you. I just added normal flour to the pizza peel and thats it. Don’t try to move the pizza for at least a minute after putting it into the oven to give the base time to cook before you attempt to rotate it

Thanks for the feedback Gabriel. I actually removed one layer of bricks on mine a while ago. I can’t say that it made a huge difference but then I always make sure that I have strong flames coming through from the rear. But I agree with the theory and have left mine with one layer less.

It gets really hot - thats why it takes only 3 minutes to bake a pizza

Hi, Its a very simple recipe. 1KG flour 700ml warm water 50ml olive oil 10g yeast Salt This will make 4 thick bases or 8 thin bases. Leave the dough in an air tight container in a warm place for at least an hour. The dough should ideally double in size. Try it out and let me know if you like it.

Thank you, will let you know. :)

not even close haha

@@alejandrocampana245 why? What happened? Will post a video the next time I make some

Hi Hennie, I purchased them on Takealot

Hi Terrence, since you are adding the battery in parallel none of the voltage settings need to change. The only parameter you should consider changing is the maximum charge current. You should double this value as you are doubling your capacity. The max charge current should be set at 37A per US3000 battery. So you can set it to 74A or round down to 70A. All other parameters should remain the same.

Hi Skyline, thanks for the feedback. Agreed - going to get a nice 4 battery cabinet so I have room to expand.

Hi Daddy, you can mix the batteries. When using the same module use the latest production unit as master. If you have different modules follow this order for determining which battery to use as the master battery: UP5000>US3000C>US2000C>US3000>US2000 There are two additional things to note: 1. The bigger batteries generally offer more value as they are cheaper per KWh - divide the cost by the battery capacity to figure out which one is better 2. The UP5000 only carries a 5 year warranty whereas the US series generally has a 7 year warranty that can be extended to 10 years upon registration

@@zaydshouse1373 Thanks for the response...

Any battery parameter settings you could remommend, i left everything in defaults eccept for charging source priority?

@@Daddys1652 Max charging current should be 25A x number of US2000 batteries (37A for us US3000) - you can round down to the nearest 10 if your inverter only works in increments of 10 - this is normally program 2 Program 12 - battery low return to grid - 48v Program 13 - battery full - 51v (or 50v if you want to start using the battery sooner and use less utility Program 26 - bulk charge - 53.2v (but I prefer to go a bit lower at 52.5v) Program 27 - float charge - 53.2v (again I prefer a lower value of 52.5v) Program 29 - battery low cut off - 47.5v (I set mine to 48v)

Hi Ian. I have an Axpert inverter. All my dip switches are off on both batteries. Dip 1 controls the RS486 baud rate which is the rate at which data is transferred. When its on the rate is 9600 bits per second and when its off the rate is 115200 bits per second. Dip 2 must be off if you are in single group mode (you will have more than one group if you have many batteries - typically more than 4). What issue are you experiencing?
