    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

    Trying to play Valorant and I see all my friends (non CISP customers) are getting a ping of about 120-130 to Bahrain where mine is sitting at about 220+. I'm assuming I'm going to the UK and then routing back. Unfortunately Bahrain is our closest physical servers but because of the parties...

    Help configuring my inverter/UPS

    With regards to the buzzer, setting 18 might be what you're looking for (if it's based on an Axpert inverter). Should be bON by default, changing it to bOF will cause the beeping to stop when pressing buttons. Setting 22 is "Beeps while primary source is interrupted"

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    He has an amazing amount of knowledge and I suggest checking out more of his vids if you're interested in solar.

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    Tested them for 4 hours last week at about 0.2C discharge with the voltage sitting at about 12.8v at the end. Haven't done a full capacity test yet. It was an absolute pleasure this weekend when Eskom decided we didn't need power when waking up. The only thing I need to look at now is getting a...

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    I did not leave them in parallel (not enough bus bars and all voltages were within the recommended 0.02v). This morning the voltages were sitting at 3.39. It doesn't seem possible to set float charge off, but the voltage can go low enough to match the DC cut off at 12v.

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    Multimeter arrived so I could check and all cells arrived charged to about 3.26-3.27. Did some DIYing last night to get everything including the inverter stuffed into a crate. Got 2 PC fans moving 37-39CFM through the crate so there is more than enough airflow. The fans are connected with...

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    My understanding is that there are multi rebrandings of the Axpert range. So the quality is highly dependent on the brand. The 5kva allows for solar as well as parallel connection with some rebrandings having a custom firmware for LiFePO4 batteries. I've heard nothing but praise when it comes...

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    50A is the highest my inverter will go (4K/5K model required to go higher) For 26 & 27 I was working of his info here (My Recommended Charge Profile Parameters - about 2/3rds down the page) which contradict his recommendations in this video As for the balancing, I may be misunderstanding it...

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    So my DIY kit (8 cells, 4s2p) arrived, nice and quick (it was only ordered on Monday). I just want to check the inverter (Axpert KS 1kVa) settings I intend to change based on what I have picked up while watching 50+ hours of the YouTubes. Inverter manual Setting Number Current Value New...

    Awesome, thanks. I've started going through quite a few of his videos since yesterday

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    Connecting the fans to the inverter cables makes more sense, forgot about that option.
