Re: [RE-wrenches] Midnite AIO Battery Low/Lost Behavior

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

I can’t agree more that auto restart is a requirement.  A well designed system that has the inverter shut off( shut down or not sure what the correct term is) due to low battery should restart in the morning.  Now I could easily see that it will have to get to some X amount of SOC or volts or watts of input before it connects the AC loads.  Jay On Jul 15, 2025, at 3:21 PM, Chris Schaefer via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote:  Mr. Bryce, As offgrid is our biggest piece of the pie, I too would like to have the AIO power back up when voltage is at an acceptable level just as our OB's, Magnum's and Xantrex's have been for years. My hope is that in the very near future a firmware upgrade would make this a selectable feature.

Sure would be cool if there was an automatic reconnect mode that could be set.      On Tue, Jul 15, 2025, 7:56 AM Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: With this new breed of AIO inverters, when the battery reaches low voltage disconnect, do they all need manual intervention to restart inverting? I'm having an issue with a Midnite AIO with a stack of Pytes batteries that reset themselves for a yet undiagnosed reason. The DC Battery voltage goes to zero on the inverter for a moment, and then returns. The problem is, it requires manual intervention to push the button to turn the inverter back on. It does not happen automatically. That's not good for an unmanned remote site.  Jason Szumlanski Florida Solar Design Group  _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.org List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org There are two list archives for searching.
