Rumplesteelskin:Please enlighten us further. Does the BMS cut at 26.8v while charging or what? |
AndroBlaze: 5:41pm On May 30 |
Rumplesteelskin: This is one of the reason why a communicative BMS is important or at least a screen that allows us to monitor cell voltage. Good price, but Haisic are being too secretive. Thanks a lot for sharing. 2 Likes |

ManAdii:Na valto introduce me to tbb as far back as Jan 2022, I have installed over 15 units of their old inverters 3 Likes |
Rumplesteelskin: 5:48pm On May 30 |
ManAdii: Yes, that’s what all my tests are pointing to. For context: Before the Haisic battery arrived, I was using a custom-built lithium battery with my 3kVA hybrid inverter and 24V solar setup. With eight 200W solar s on the roof, I could charge the battery from 24V in the morning to 29.2V by 1–3 PM, depending on sunlight. The Haisic arrived and got stuck at 27.2V on day one. I initially thought the issue was charging current. My inverter s 30A for AC charging, the charge controller is rated 60A, and the battery’s recommended charge current is 40A. So, I ruled out current as the problem. Did a drain test, still stuck at 26.8-27.2 V after hours of charging. Did the final test today, disconnected the inverter from the battery, and the inverter went straight to 29.1 V, while the charge controller that is connected to the battery shows 26.8 V. So, I have ruled out the inverter limiting the charge current. My guess is either the BMS is faulty or one or more cells are weak. Order the Coulomb meter posted here a few threads back, but it will take 3 weeks to get to me. |

AndroBlaze: Yeah, I totally agree. That screen is very important but the price was crazy, even got a better deal at #790k. The 5000 plus kWh capacity left for me to use did wonders, but I need the full capacity, that is why I needed it in the first place. 1 Like |

buyAride: From his explanation for the inverter sizing. You're multiplying the total load wattage of all your appliances when used together by 1.33. That is, when you have everything that uses power on, the total multiplied by 1.3. This is W X 1.3 for inverter This is different from the total used in the entire day which is Wh (watt hour). Wh X 1.3 for battery 1 Like |

Rumplesteelskin: What was the charging current at that 26.8v? 1 Like |

Rumplesteelskin:I had same issue when I got my Haisic 3.6kwh battery. The issue as very simple. Bms was limiting charge. Drain till bms LVD and that’s it. Charge as normal and your issue is over. |
fuckboys: 7:56pm On May 30 |
Rumplesteelskin:and your 8 pcs of 200w battery is not enough to charge that battery bro. You have a huge capacity battery there. You need more than 2300w of pv to comfortably charge the battery and carry your loads. |
AndroBlaze: 8:02pm On May 30 |
fuckboys: Quite interesting. Was this fix suggested to you or something you stumbled upon while using the battery? |
Rumplesteelskin: 8:10pm On May 30 |
mctfopt: For PV under 32A, for grid and Gen 30A. fuckboys: I did this earlier today hoping it will reset the BMS but it changes nothing. For over 6 hours now it won't get over 26.8 - 27.2v. My inverter hasn't indicated that the battery is full, still blinking the charging light.

AndroBlaze:it was suggested to me on this same thread by someone, tried it and it worked perfectly. Before that it use to limit charging to 13.4 but now i charge to 14.6 everyday. 1 Like |

Rumplesteelskin:i mean bms LVD not your inverter LVD. I had to turn of lvd on my inverter to achieve it that day. 1 Like |

fuckboys: None of the power source is even charging it above range I mentioned earlier, and that same solar set up was charging my other battery with no issue. |
Rumplesteelskin: 8:14pm On May 30 |
fuckboys: How can I do that, please? |
fuckboys: 8:27pm On May 30 |
Rumplesteelskin:there's always gonna be a difference between your inverter reading of your battery voltage and the true battery voltage itself. I had 5v disparity between my inverter reading and actual battery voltage. Inverter reading was higher by 5v compared to actual battery voltage. You'll need a multimeter to get the actual battery voltage and check the difference with your inverter battery voltage. Then set your inveter by adding the difference in values to settings in your inverter. I'm saying all these cos I'm 💯 certain you haven't hit bms LVD to activate that bms during your testing. 1 Like 1 Share |

The same way there are not many 24v 5kva inverter. Anyone with a need for such battery capacity will be better off using a 48v system. You will save on cable and won't be stressing your inverter and battery unnecessarily. HeavenlyBang: 1 Like |

Rumplesteelskin: I'm experiencing this same thing with my battery! I just brought it home to test again today and see if it's an issue with my office setup. |
bkuranga(m): 9:13pm On May 30 |
fuckboys: Ehn ehn! If this solves it, I go they happy. I don they think about how I wan take fix this issue. |
ask4bk(m): 9:13pm On May 30 |
HeavenlyBang:Must be on special demand only. Such size with 24v will require high amps to charge it and it's hard to get a charge controller of such. To get 4kw from sun you'll need about 200a charger, something that on 48v you'll get with simple 100a charger. That's why 48v is better for those big batteries. But there must be people who just want them like that and he will give them what they want. 1 Like |

bkuranga: All of una wey de buy Haisic on the lowkey should speak up oooo. At the price point, it has turned to the battery everyone is recommending. But it should be testimonies we should be using to recommend things on here, so the more info, the better. 2 Likes |

Rumplesteelskin: Simply put, if there is a way to temporarily switch off your inverter's LVD or temporarily change it to something as low as 20.5v, do it. What you want is your battery to turn off and shut down by itself, which the BMS should do before the voltage gets less than 21v. Also ensure you switch of your PV array from the breaker if you are using a separate controller. If I were you, I'd do the test in a controlled setting. I'd allow the inverter's LVD to turn it off the way it normally does. Then prepare myself to switch it back on after a few mins or so once the voltage has slightly gone up and immediately change the LVD on the inverter to 20.5v. Put a heavy load on the system and within another few minutes the BMS would have turned off the battery and obviously the inverter. You'd also need to factor that there needs to be another power source available to power on the inverter so you can wake up the battery and charge it, or you have a separate smart 24v charger available (easiest method). I've actually used something as small as a transistor radio battery to power up a controller that died when their was no NEPA available and the BMS had shut the battery off for a 12v system earlier. So don't be scared, just be prepared. 1 Like |

badaru1: Bus voltage too high? I don't think there's anything you can do to it. Try to reset the inverter |
