Re: [RE-wrenches] Best Battery

For some reason (that I never got an answer to from Outback or Blue Planet) 
older FX inverters are not compatible with Blue Ion LFP batteries. The newer 
FXR series are.
Considering one only needs to change slightly charge voltages, duration, etc. 
to meet BI recommendations, it's a mystery why Outback states that older FX 
inverters are not compatible. 
Outback  states this in a tech note about using LI batteries.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Best Battery

2020-08-09 Thread Ray
My favorite right now is Simpliphi: company has been around since 2002, 
and as the name implies, they are simple to install.  There is no 
external monitoring or comm, just an output breaker on each battery that 
can be reset if the internal BMS ever shuts down for any reason.  We've 
done several sets in new systems, and as battery replacements with older 
Outback equipment.  Simpliphi provides a nice programming cheat sheet 
for all the brands of inverters and charge controllers.


For smaller systems, the LiFe Blue batteries are great.  They have the 
best monitoring (simple blue tooth to a free phone app) and they are the 
only Li+ battery that has a solution for cold weather charging that I'm 
aware of.  Other battery companies have just given us the shoulder shrug 
and tell us to install the battery in a conditioned space.  Not a good 
answer for many off grid systems in the mountains.


I'm not a huge fan of Blue Planet; if their battery is over discharged, 
it requires a 48 v dark start.  I also did not find their enclosure to 
be NEC code compliant to connect conduit to. We had to modify it to 
allow a 2" KO. Cable routing and connections internally are also 
awkward. Its just a computer rack cabinet repurposed for batteries, but 
it does have pretty blue Lights (which we disconnected at the customer's 
request)  Finally the comm system is based on the E-gage, which was 
never designed for off grid and depends on a constant router and 
internet connection to monitor.  That is another deal killer for some 
remote projects.  Internet connectivity is great when available, just 
the monitoring can't be dependent on that connection.  Their tech 
support was good though.


Beware that Schneider inverters LBCO can't be programmed over 48v, which 
is a deal killer for most Li+ batteries.  We currently have a system 
that we are adding a relay to shut off AC output, that will be triggered 
by the charge controller.  That is just an amazingly kludgy solution for 
a really dumb problem: not allowing higher settings of the LBCO.  Until 
Schneider releases a firmware update, they are not even being considered 
for future projects.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Best Battery

2020-08-09 Thread jay
HI Drake,

I think it really depends on what inverter you have, what the size is, what 
features you want and why do you want lithium?

For example to me, as they are black boxes, I will only use one that has a 
physical external monitor, not only a web based, which at this point is pretty 
much Discover.

Also Discover is the only battery that actually has a closed loop, ie it 
actually communicates with the inverter control system.  Currently that is 
SolARk and schneider.

And Discover is the only one of the more common popular batteries that is an 
actual battery OEM and its a big OEM that has been around for something like 75 
years. 

Simpliphi is the easiest drop it replacement. No monitoring, but its sealed so 
no mice/rodents/bug issues, no comm to inverter.

Blue Planet is too much hype to me, only has internet based monitoring, is on 
open cabinet which I worry about the issues above, no communication to inverter.
I do like that it is a modular approach so its lighter to assemble.  

There are a number of others too.

Before I spend tens of thousands of someones money I always check to see how 
long the company has been in biz, what their size/$ etc.  And I look to see how 
the corporate structure is set up, ie how big is the tech department?  Look at 
Blue Planet for example, big list of names, only 1 tech person.  

Good luck with the wild west of batteries,

Jay

My favorite are Discover AES and Fortress Power. They both communicate
