Hello David. You are correct that the BMS cable for the US2000C is different from what you are currently using. In terms of the BMS cables available from Victron, the US2000 uses a BMS Type B cable while the US2000C uses a BMS type A cable. Functionally, the difference is that the ground wire on the battery side is on pin 2 for the US2000 and is on pin 6 for the US2000C. Please check my response to the email you sent me for a visual diagram.

Hello, unless you are planning on adding 5 or more units to your system, there is no real need to mess with an LV-HUB for 12 US3000s. For normal configurations, the short answer is that the DIPs never need to be changed from their default positions. If you happen to be connecting to an inverter via RS485 using a 9600 baud rate, then DIP1 on the master battery (they are labeled upside down) needs to be turned on.

I have enjoyed the evolution of off-grid camping as a camp host over the decades. I try to be a model for our camp hosts, not a preacher. No matter how much you preach, they almost always show up with a distorted & cheaper version that will perform differently & fail uniquely so that you have to gently re-educate them, spoon-feeding as you go. We went from a couple AGM batteries, 250-W of solar, & a decent Tri-metric monitor & charge controls with a 400-w inverter in our truck camper back in 2011 to various modest evolutions as we upgraded RVs & camp host locations with different solar levels available. Now, as a manager, we didn't need an inverter as traveling between seasons and overnight Harvest Host stops we just used our generator for 3 minutes coffee or microwave uses, yet enjoy our 200 AH Lifepo4 batteries to overnight run our DC RV, furnace fan, lights, etc. Now as we are closer to semi-retiring, our next coach will be a Brinkley & it is time to consider winter snowbirding with a combo of roof & ground solar, single 3-KW inverter, 300AH Lifepo4, & 30-A DC vehicle charging, etc. With camp hosting & snowbirding I like modest systems that still perform reliably as needed, with the generator used modestly as needed. Case in point, last winter it was cool & rainy in Quartzite a lot. Every single large PV system was running their generator a lot, those who filled their generator bay with batteries bought out all the portable generators in the valley. They had to run them a lot to fill those huge banks. When we went to do elder care in FL & the RV park blew two huge transformers, our 200-AH batteries performed all night to run our fridge, furnace, & lights while most others went to a motel & had spoiled food in their fridges (most had a single L.A. battery & a 12-volt fridge). As we pursue purchasing our Brinkley Z 2900 we will keep you folks in mind. Cheers, Davey & Sheila

Thanks for the question! With Pylontech batteries, all you need to do is get the battery connected and in communication, then the BMS will take over to ensure that the new battery comes into balance with its partners.

Every other battery I have worked with needs to be manually balanced before connection, if you are even able to add a new battery at all. Hats off to Pylontech’s BMS for this.

@@sukmy1i sorry for the delayed reply.. The cables are rated for 120A continuous and the batteries can handle 100A. The thing is, if you are running at the absolute maximum to meet your loads, then that is really just a signal to size up your system. Your car can likely go 120mph, but if you drove it around all day at that speed then your service life is going way down. If your loads are not a deciding factor and can be whatever you allow them to be, then I would take the number of batteries you have and multiply them by 50A. Then size your number of cables so that a single pair of end runs never has more than 100A going through it. That will give you a nice middle ground for your max discharge current that won't overtax your system. If your needs are more than that, you can make it work up but I would start looking to add more capacity.

Hi Cristian, thanks for the question. In a Victron system with a Pylontech battery, it’s an automatic setting. If there’s a BMS and it detects a BMS, it toggles it to "Controlled by BMS." Different batteries communicate differently (or don't communicate at all), introducing complications - and that’s where battery choice really matters. But in this setup, when reconnected (the coms cable is connected and if the DVCC is turned ON), the MPPT will automatically switch to controlled by BMS.

2 questions. 1. The ATC dry contact could be used on the ATC input signal wire on an alternator controller, does the ATC contact open before the FETs open to allow the alternator to stop charging before the batteries isolate. 2. From the manuals the heating only comes on below -20degC to allow discharge, but what about recharging which needs above 0degC.
@intelligentcontrols
@intelligentcontrols 2 ай бұрын
Hi @flyingpeterf, good point. 1) The alternator controller that we’re thinking about with this example, is something small like an Orion or the new XS DC-DC charger which can be isolated without damaging the alternator. If you're using a Zeus or a Wakespeed (100s of amps), then you do need to be conscious of not isolating your alternator under full load - that’s where the alternator controller should be protecting the alternator. 2) The heater has two modes. The first is a “soft off” mode, where the heater will only auto-activate at around -20C to prevent the cells from becoming too cold to discharge. The second is the “On Mode'' which can be activated via the Bluetooth app or by inserting the heater plug into the I/O port. In this mode, the heater kicks on at around 4C to keep the cells within discharge temperature. So, the idea is that the battery will never get too cold to prevent itself from discharging, which means that you should always have the ability to warm it up from self-consumption. However, if the battery is just sitting unused in a cabin, there is no real need to have it maintaining >4C and wasting power. Hope this helps!

This video covers a valid point. It's all about redundancy, especially in harsher climates. I can understand in extreme cold climates it's not always possible to climate control the battery room leading to reduced capacity and even a battery shutting down due too cold to charge a possibility Here in most of Australia due the hot summer weather 3 months of the year we always DERATE everything to 70% MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS current. That is BOTH with the batteries and inverter being usually in an air conditioned room set to a max of 27 degrees C when it can be 45 outside for the hottest hours of the day. When it's hot we have so much sun and long days so climate control of the battery room is so easy to do as we have surplus solar power. We always look at the best outcome for longevity of life for the hardware and reliability of day to day use as a worst case weather situation. Interestingly my Pylontech US5000-B battery label states 50 amps is the preferred CONTINUOUS CURRENT per battery and 100 amps Max , so my spec across 3 batteries is 150 amps x 48volts = 7.2Kw @ 240 volts is it's comfort zone. There is also up to 200 amps PEAK rating per battery for "seconds" on top of that and the inverter can do 22Kw peak to cope with induction motor starts such as air compressors, water pumps or large power tools and even welders My 3 x US5000-B batteries run 2 sets of end run cables giving 240 amps (cable amps continuous) that feed an 11kw inverter that is feeding a home demand load max CONTINUOUS LOAD of 7.2Kw (approx 70% max load) or what we call a (very common) 240 volts 32 amp circuit. This is fine for a small 120 sqm home. You will need double that for a large 240sqm plus family home with air conditioning by far the biggest current draw with cooking after that. Heat pumps are used for hot water and excel in hot climates using only 1-3 kwh per day so are not big power users. So even if 1 battery were to drop out of the 3 it would not be noticed in the home as 2 batteries can easily supply 75 amps each. Not ideal for longevity but any battery issue would likely be fixed in days or weeks and not months or years

Hi there. Yes, you can definitely use a BlueSmart IP65 charger while the battery is in the vehicle. The clamps accessory works excellently to attach directly to the battery studs. The M6/M8 Eyelets accessory is also a great way to more permanently mount a charging point so you can use the quick connect any time you’d like to hook up the charger to the +/- of the system. The Power supply mode provides a constant voltage with amperage up to the maximum amperage you have chosen (usually either full amperage, or half). You could, in theory, use that mode to charge a battery, but you’d not benefit from any of the sophisticated charge curves the unit is capable of. So while you could do so, I would highly encourage using the charger functionality as it is designed to charge a battery and then safely keep it at a full charge. All parameters are adjustable within the Victron Connect app on a smartphone, which allows for detailed control. If you haven’t yet downloaded Victron Connect on a smartphone or laptop, I suggest doing so. There is a “demo” section where you can open up a demo of the software for nearly any Bluetooth capable Victron device that can be controlled via smartphone to see what the settings are/what they can be.

All we know is our experience and the experience of our customers and partners in Europe who have used Pylontech for many more years than we have. What brand of battery do you feel is a better choice? We’re always looking to learn what people like and why. Have you had experience with Victron batteries? The Smart Lithiums are great and use prismatic cells. The NG SmartLithiums are coming out soon, and we’re looking forward to getting our hands on them.

Hi Sergey, we haven’t tried it because we haven’t had them/sold them. Pylontech has made many batteries that we haven’t had access to or experience with in the United States.

The US5000C allows approx. 75A, which is around 3.6kW at 48V - is that the maximum power with which I could charge my ev?- I'm planning 5x pylontech US5000 on the Deye SUN-12K-SG04LP3-EU - and would like to be able to charge the car battery for 150 km overnight. - Does it work?

Hi there, the batteries are capable of handling 100A a piece, but the 75-80A mark is a better sweet spot for increased battery life. I recommend multiplying the number of batteries you are using by that 75A and then having that set as your discharge limit. If you size the battery bank appropriately, there should be no issue with your application.

@@intelligentcontrols Thanks a lot. The SUN-12K-SG04LP3-EU is compatibel? I have two compatibilty-lists from pylontech, in one of them it is not listed. One last question - the us5000 is LiFePo4, NOT LiIon, right?

@@nanookpictures, Correct, this is an LiFePO4 - a very safe, stable battery chemistry. US5000s have been used for many years, particularly in Europe and Australia, in residential settings (temp-controlled garages, indoor living spaces, etc.). This integration with Victron is now into its 8th year at least. Have a look at the 2023 compatibility list: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0628/8041/5974/files/Pylontech_Compatible_List_V2.08_ESS-2023.pdf?v=1715796562.
