Thanks Glen, looking forward to seeing the installation video. I notice it has a built in over current circuit breaker (whereas the US2000 & US3000 do not). Does that mean that when we come to install we do not have to add an auxiliary external over current breaker/fuse? Even if we are using multiple US5000 units? If so, that's great as it saves time/money on install. Cheers FYI - referring to AS/NZS standards
Correct. If each battery module meets the requirements of AS/NZS 5139 for isolation and overcurrent protection, then as long as the shutdown procedure identifies the requirement for ALL d.c. isolators to be off AND that they are readily accessible (not behind a lock or screw).
I have 8 on order hoping it will almost keep me off grid in the UK most of the year with 15kwh panel array. I hear the DC battery type is far more efficient than ones that sit on the AC side of the inverter i.e. Tesla. Tesla has to convert twice more in and out of the internal batteries, almost bought them until i did my research on TH-cam.
I have 8 on order to, due early Nov. Hope they are the B variant. Last batches to arrive in UK were not :( Anyone know if all being shipped are now the B? Will save me a fortune in additional fuse/breakers!
These are already arriving in Europe. Are the dip switches still visually upside down? Also can you test how far down the SOC will go before it turns off?
Thanks Glen, looks like a great product. Can you confirm that the orange/black 25mm cables are double insulated? If not, do they have to be for AS/NZS standards? Thanks mate
Hi Hamish. Double insulation is only mandatory for battery systems that operate over 60V (DVC-B and DVC-C). The insulation on the battery cables shown here have a withstand voltage of 4,500 V
WEIGHT IS ONLY 40 KG ???? HOW IT'S SO LIGHT??? Im using lead acid batteries they weight 43kg and it's only 12v and 140AH.... amazing how much more energy i-ion can store
"Child save" 🤔Well, children have no business to be anywhere near this type of unit I think. Looking forward to your test, if you have not already done that since this video is a year old now.
Have done installations using both the US2000 and US3000.
Would love to see what the US5000 offer.
Another cracka intro and Another cracka unboxing. Good stuff glen! G’Day from the Naki NZ
Glad you enjoyed it
Really cool video. thanks for the details. thinking to buy few of these units.
Hello there why did you left sirrus supercapacitor?

I've been running on 8 of the 2000s for 3 years no problem. I'll be getting some of these when the price drops though!

@@TheDeano4000do you think the price is now at the right price can get for £1227
Just got some for 1070 Inc vat
Will you review the pylontech pelio?
Hi nice video ... I have question to ask whit 2 pylontech us5000 battery which inverter do I need to run them battery thank you
These are already arriving in Europe. Are the dip switches still visually upside down? Also can you test how far down the SOC will go before it turns off?
Testing is a way off... need to install them first.

For a 3 phase hybrid inverter how will connect this pylon battery. One battery bank per phase?

Isnt it a Lithium Iron Phosphate, not a Li Ion ?
Yes, LFP is one of the many types of lithium ion
way too many adverts buddy. Otherwise great content
That’s the TH-cam algorithm, not me. Get TH-cam Premium and never see an ad ever again.
