Crossy Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 I know the polycarbonate isn't fire-resistant. But it was in the shed, I can lift it, and it keeps the cat/chickens out (yes, I removed the eggs from behind the smaller packs). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just happened to have a couple of Thai labourers re-building (actually knocking down) our damaged retaining wall. A hundred Baht each (probably about 30% of their day rate for demolishing the wall) and they were more than happy to oblige. Keep an eye on the cells in your new battery packs. I installed an identical battery pack (from same seller) in January, and after just three months of very gentle use (as you can see from the cycle count) one of the cells is already failing: To protect the cells I set the low voltage cut-off at 3V, and when cell 9 reaches that voltage the other 15 cells are still close to 3.3V (approximately 70% SOC). As a result I have very little usable capacity in the pack. Clearly, cell 9 has a manufacturing defect, even though it looked OK when i first received the battery pack. I have sent all the evidence to Luyuan, and am waiting for their engineers to take a look at it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crossy Posted June 7 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 7 Patience is rewarded, Lazada have two 15% "6-6" discount vouchers (having two is unusual). So, I bought two Deye 5kW inverters (two separate orders, 1 voucher used on each), one order got an extra 50Baht off for using my UOB card 🙂 12k will get quite a lot of beer 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on mfgr date they most likely also have the latest firmware in them already but if you need to update them it can be done remotely by Deye. Send a request email to service(at)deye.com.cn and give them the Inverter serial numbers and the logger serial numbers and keep your inverters on-grid until they have done the update. Congrats to a good purchase, I'm sure you will not regret it! Edited June 9 by Rimmer email address edited per forum rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like prices in Thailand on Inverters getting better..I saw the Growatt was at better price in Thailand now also. Pink 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
