I wouldn't think it would but I don't have a gas stove.

Never heard of those before. Thanks!

What on earth is kowint energy?

@@adon8672 another battery company

Yeah, I get it. I've never had to crimp my own amphenol connectors before. I've seen it done and it looks like you can use the same tools for a standard lug crimp. I just like the ease of connection/disconnection, plus they're a safer connection than an exposed lug.

It really is! Thanks!

Stay in the dark with maverick solar.. lol just joking. Did you test this new midnite battery with the new one hybrid inverter yet also? Mav you need to film also if your testing all these new products.

Oh yeah! I just started messing with Home Assistant! Once you get it set up, it's great! Does take a little computer knowledge to get you started unless you can find some really good tutorials.

@@robertschulke1596 what is ABYC?

Oh man, sorry to hear about that. What state are you in? Have you been able to figure out the damage yet? I really hope it's something simple like a blown fuse and that's why you're not seeing anything come back online.

@@michaelhainzl5106 thanks! Enjoy!

Glad to be able to help!

Nope. They don’t last long if they come around…

True but the fans kick on before you get to full power. They only get louder once you get closer to full power.

@@AdamDeLay07 any room with this in needs fire proofing that should also help with the sound

Thanks!

Laurent, Thanks for the comment. I believe the Victron BMS is specifically for Victron batteries. With my Victron MultiPlus system, I had 2 DIY batteries with JK BMSs and I just programmed the charging settings based on voltage. You can do that in the Victron charge controllers as well as the MultiPlus inverter. No problems at all as long as you program in proper charge rates specific to your batteries.

HELLO if I understood correctly your jkbms was without CAN communication? as for the moment I am with a JKBMS 150A on 24 volts I will soon change to 48 volts and buy a JKBMS in 200A maybe if I can buy a JKBMS with can output? otherwise we can make the victron multiplus, cerbo GX, MPTT charge regulator believe that my pack is in lead gel! it will not see that they are LFP if I give it identical voltages that lead as low voltage 41 volts (in LIFE in 16S) this corresponds to 2.56 volts and program high voltage at 57.6 volts 3.50 volts per cell what do you think? thank you laurent

Thanks for the comment. So you CAN turn off the EPS switch on the side to disable the actual inverter portion while still allowing PV to come in and charge the batteries. The fans will run anytime PV is charging though.

@@AdamDeLay07 Thanks. Is the EPS switch designed for regular use? Or will it wear out?

@@alaskahomesteadadventures7579 It's just a regular paddle switch on the side. I would imagine it's designed for regular use, but even if it did wear out for some reason, it would be an easy replacement.

Great news. I guess the guy i talked to at current connected didn't think of that.

@@alaskahomesteadadventures7579 Not a problem. So the switch is right inside the wiring compartment on the left. It's actually "in front of" all the other components which would make it extremely simple to swap (ua-cam.com/video/mP09GCoR_R0/v-deo.html). The connections aren't soldered on. You would disconnect two wires, pop out the old switch, then reconnect the wires. You would end up spending more time pulling out all the screws on the cover!

Yeah the "Working Mode" page for settings seems to be an updated interface that they're working on. So the "Working Mode Settings" section allows you to determine how you want the inverter to run at certain times. Do you want it to Charge from AC, do you want it to only run on Grid or do you want it to operate in a normal "Battery first" state (self consumption). It really gives you the ability to fine tune your system based on your needs. As far as the error you receive, do you have battery communication set up between your inverter and batteries? If so, everything will be based on SOC and not voltage. Glad to be able to help!

@@AdamDeLay07 I have LiFe batteries with a BMS but no communication so I've set the battery type to Lead-Acid (per instructions) so it should be able to adjust charging by voltage... but it won't. It now charges the batteries to 54 volts which I suppose is adequate but I would like to charge to a slightly higher voltage.

@@MarkSpohr Gotcha. So are you trying to make this change on the Old Settings Page or the new one? What is the label of the field and what exactly are you trying to put into the field?

@@AdamDeLay07 I tried to make the change on both the old and the new setting page and get the same error 3. (AC Charge Start Battery Voltage(V) and Start AC Charge Volt(V) ) The battery float voltage is set to 54v (on the old page) and that is what it charges to. The new page doesn't have a float voltage setting. I just changed the float voltage setting on the old page to 55v successfully and it appears to have started charging the battery (hopefully to 55v). I still can't change the AC Charge Start Battery Voltage(V) (It gives me the error 3) but it looks like changing the float voltage causes it to start charging (slowly - ~100W).

@@MarkSpohr I don't think you can set the "AC Charge Start Battery Voltage" to a higher voltage than you have set for the "Charge Voltage". AC Charge Start Battery Voltage is used to tell the system when you want to start charging from the AC IN connection. Typically that's going to be a significantly lower value than the Charge Voltage because you want to use the battery power you have stored up. You set the Charge Start value to a low voltage threshold before your system switches over to AC IN/Grid power.

my serials are not in the range of when that issue was discovered.

@@AdamDeLay07 Hi Adam, just query Victron as this was a major issue for older serials as well, They make the inverters much quieter, as this was a known issue for a number years with the multiplus2. As i am a Victron installer in NZ, and have upgraded a few of these to make it quiter for my clients. Your fans have athe classic pulsing sound at low RPMs, due the PWM pulse of 25Hz, which was to low, so victron supplied a inline kit which is plug and play to increase the PWM to a much higher frequency.

@@robduthie2979 my serials are not in the range of when that issue was discovered.

I've been keeping an eye on the beta updates. They're still actively plugging away at this. I'm seeing new updates every couple weeks at least. I can say that I've been running the beta since I put out the first video and haven't experienced any issues with it in runny my house. The last beta update came out on 9/20. You can actually see more details in the community forum: community.victronenergy.com/t/venus-os-beta-series-announcement-and-changelog-v3-50-22/120

@@hollywoodj500 it’s funny, I’ve had quite a few people ask me about that. Unfortunately I don’t have an 18kpv to go over the settings.

@@Mike-01234 awesome! Thanks for sharing!

@@UnkyjoesPlayhouse thanks! It’s fun!

@@Time-Trvlr huh?

You also have the ability to use the display on the inverter to make changes.

@@AdamDeLay07 correct, which is less intuitive than the app lol. we are trying to go forward here, adam, not backwards

@@jimmy4518 haha! You won't get any argument from me!

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the specifics of Schneider inverters. I would ask Schneider what BMS protocols they support. I believe the indoor EG4 wallmount batteries can switch to different inverter protocols to help with battery communication.

Oh yeah, but I believe that's in standby mode, not when the inverting power.

I do have node-red on my list of things to look at. Unfortunately that list seems to be very fluid and it grows rapidly!

@@Tiersmoke92555 the only difference is you don’t connect a grid connection or CTs. I actually ran with grid disconnected for quite some time. It’s actually a lot less programming. You just have to set your charging and discharging rates based on your batteries.

@@stifflerjj4 Yes. Solar Assistant will save all data it retrieves from the different devices that it’s connected to and gives you the ability to look back at his historical information. The raspberry pie that the solar assistant software runs off of can transmit its own Wi-Fi hotspot for local connectivity. The only thing that cannot be done without Internet is remote access. Solar Assistant Overview ua-cam.com/video/ZzkWqQPdSNY/v-deo.html

@@AdamDeLay07 how do I get something like this I get getting a little mini computer and all that in the video it says it goes online it's not actually an app

@@stifflerjj4 there’s links in the video to a pre-installed version of solar assistant on an orange pi. There is no dedicated app, it’s just accessing a specific page in your browser (depends on online vs offline).

You would want to program your charging amps based on your batteries and what they recommend.

@@kelstr No it doesn’t. I’m sure it has been requested but it doesn’t have it right now.

@@cindymelchert1879 Thank you very much Cindy! I really appreciate it!

@@cindymelchert1879 Glad to be able to help! I only had the DIY cells, so I had to rely on voltage for my charging until I got Solar Assistant and started using that to determine when my system would switch between grid and battery power. I would recommend that anytime! I did make several videos on that as well. I actually don’t have any EG4 batteries.

@@edwincalender5071 Thanks for sharing! I’ve haven’t heard of that one before. Glad there’s other companies out there standing behind their products like that!

What brands and what issues were reported? It ultimately boils down to what the cell manufacturer recommends for allowed orientation.
