    When it comes to the topic of Batteries, there is so much to learn and ultimately be aware of, especially if you're a first time buyer!
    In this episode, we'll be taking you through some of the pro's and con's around Lithium-Ion batteries specifically, and we'll be giving you a breakdown on what you need to understand about these batteries when you're out shopping for yours!
    We learn all about what kWh and Ah stand for and why it's important to take the numbers on that datasheet into consideration when buying a Lithium-Ion battery for your Solar system!
    As always thank you for watching, leaving any questions you may have in the comments below, and we will see you in the next one!

    Good day and thank you for this video. Kindly advise what to do, I have a 5kwh 200ah 24v lithium battery which is new. It charges well but at each attempt at discharge, the BMS trips off after a few minutes (sometimes up to 1 or 2 hours). Please what’s the possible cause for this and what can be done? I was thinking the inverter used is incompatible with it but I wonder if. Besides I want to be sure so that I’ll not change inverter and still face the same issue.

    • @solaradvice
      @solaradvice  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It sounds like the comms between the inverter and battery isn’t right, do you if it is compatible? It can be as simple as replacing the comms cable for the correct one.

      It depends on the battery, but for most of the batteries on the market it's 10 years.

      The majority of them at the moment are 6000 cycles, from the low end 4000 up to 8000 cycles, there is a brand offering 10000!

    I bought a lithium battery FUSION 4.8 to be specific, i was using GEL BATTERY before . Please help me with the settings of this battery to Axpert inverter in terms of charging and discharging and the communication (using comm cable)
    among themselves and if possible the fuse or breaker to use between them (Inverter and battery).

    • @solaradvice
      @solaradvice  ปีที่แล้ว

      If you have an Axpert then you don’t have the option of comms, you will have to set it in user defined and manually add the amps.

    100 % DOD should be avoided at all costs in my opinion. I believe that a larger battery pack with CAN communications to your inverters are key. I wish you well.

      @@solaradvice 80% DOD should be a minimum with LIFEPO4 chemistry, I favour 60% DOD on a larger battery pack in series for longevity at 48 volts, it’s just a personal thing. Incidentally do the battery packs you were showing have a PCR Pre Charge Resistor built in too the on and off switch?

    question, how do you know or check(if possible even) how many cycles you have or got left?, i mean, nowadays people buy batteries and use them for 5 days and return them cause they do not perform as expected, how do you know they are not selling you a used battery? and before you say, NO they WONT do that, believe me, where i am from, THEY WOULD LOL, a company here selling batteries only give a warrantee on them till cycles are depleted, so if its got 150 cycles, no warrantee even if the battery is 150 days old

    Great summary of LFP situation but not enough emphasis on QUALITY, you mention for 5 secs at the end. 99% of these pre assembled batteries are made in China and the cells used to make up the battery is critical. CATL are the biggest cell manufacture in the EV market for good reason, because they are the best full stop. I have clients in the UK that were pleased with EVE batteries three years ago but are already seeing degradation from daily cycling to 100% DOD. Buy batteries that contain certified quality cells and use them between 80 - 20% DOD ie avoid the steep part of the charge/ discharge curve for maximum cycle life. Discharge no less than 20% and recharge no more than 80% you will get >6000 cycles or 12 - 15 years.

      if you had just kept to "lithium" batteries, it wouldn't be a big deal. or a deal at all! "lithium" batteries encompass a few different chemistries. it's that you kept saying "ion" after the lithium that is misleading.
