Hello Wrenches,
I have a system that suddenly started seeing quite a few SOC drops and
blips, causing generator starts.
Here is an example SOC chart:

I plan to head up and apply a firmware update on the batteries, check
cabling etc but Im curious if anyone has encountered/sol
Which model? Do you see the same dips in voltage? Probably yes.
Are all the batts the same firmware?
The AES dashboard can be useful for finding a differing module.
No I have not seen this and only have had one bad battery that was
replaced by AES. Yes check all wiring. Good Luck!

Is the altestore kaput? Their website is still active but their phones are
disconnected. What's the scuttlebutt? Is there some way I can squeeze one
more old fashioned slang term into this email? No? Malarkey!
Also, is RE-bitching still active? The archives are still available but the

Nicholas,
If we take a deep dive into this issue we may be able to close the loop on
whether the industry is in lock step to leverage its synergy and make the
necessary paradigm shift to pivot. Alternatively if there aren't the
necessary boots on the ground nor tools in the tool kit to think outs
Two days ago, one of my clients came home to find the door of his powershed
blown off its hinges and a smoldering Discover AES. The case was still
intact and the entire room is coated with a fine graphite-like powder. The
fire department was unable/unwilling to do anything to cool the battery
down
Never heard of one with LFP. The cobalt and Magnesium Lions are
definitely out there. Was this a 6650 model Michael?
Going to be fun times doing a failure analysis on this one.

Yes, it is a 6650. It's neighbor survived, we think. Might be able to pull
data off it or the Lynk II

It's 6 stack of Discover 42-48-6650. Reported voltage dives when SOC goes
down, but it's not real, the Schneider doesn't see the same dip in voltage
so it appears to be a communication issue.
Thanks

Hi Michael,
For 11 years I’ve been in the Li battery business. We formerly designed and
installed over a hundred Li battery based systems, mostly mobile installations
but UPS and off-grid as well. Since 2018, we no longer do installations.
Currently we sell our own Li-ion brand with many thous
The 6650 definitely meets all the UL's, ETLs, and UN's. Probably the
first one to do this and since Michael said that it is a first for
Discover, the jury is out until an FA is complete.
Good points by you Larry, but not valid for many thousands of Discover
AES 6650s.

Wrenches,
I'm wondering if any of you have thoughts/experience with the additional
10% ITC that the Inflation Reduction Act allocates for "domestic content".
I'm doing some googling but not really sure what equipment (racking,
panels, inverters, BOM, etc) we would need to install in order to qualif
Mac,
I have a system that does this (or something similar) with all of the
Insight data a few times every day. I'm pretty sure it is lost data
resulting from communications drop outs. Internet to the site is via
StarLink. If you are only seeing this on the SOC data there might be a
problem wi
Kent, Battery monitor is internal to 6650 battery. No bat mon! Probably
as you said the xanbus comms need a look as Mac said.

You probably checked historical events and analysis below.

For this application I was originally thinking about a 48V inverter with
120V output, but there are not many options in the size range I was
considering. It hit me that I could potentially get a 120/240V split-phase

Solar Panels. Not sure any solar panel company is making panels in the US
that meet the requirements as of today. I get emails from some but they state
they are several months away . Seems to be a moving target that at times
resembles a shell game.

I think SolArk makes an 8K 120V-only version

David is correct. We have some experience with Sol-Ark’s inverter, and it’s a
good product. However, be aware that you can configure it either as a 120V
inverter with a max. output of about 5 kW or as a 240V inverter with a max.
output of about 8 kW. However, it does NOT do split-phase, meani
Maybe the new 5kw 120v unit is the 8kw at 120v?JayOn May 3, 2024, at 4:22 PM, Tom McCalmont via RE-wrenches wrote:David is correct. We have some experience with Sol-Ark’s inverter, and it’s a good product. However, be aware that you can configure it either as a 120V inverter with a max. output
