Hi Can anybody help? I have a Mecer Sol-I-AX-5P, 5Kw Inverter and a Freedomwon Tower E5000 Lifepo4 Battery.
My Problem is if the battery runs low and shuts down during load-shedding it does not reboot when the Utility returns and I have to manually reboot it. Surely it should automatically reboot itself when the Utility returns?
PLEASE HELP.

Do you have a manual for the battery?

No it won't because when it trips the inverter does not know it's there. Stop draining the battery so far.

You're draining a 5kwh battery in 2 hours??

There's still a whole lot of education needed around backup and solar I blame people who go around throwing terms like off grid about.

Some people totally don't understand the capabilities of their installed systems.

Must be, but how can you drain it in 2 hours what are they doing

I have always been surprised by what normal households look like on MyBb, on backup, 3 TVs all on at the same time during loadshedding, some animal thing that also needs to be powered, frequent kettle and microwaving, hairdryer, a massive gaming PC, 3 fridges and an aircon plus a couple of fans.

All I long I thought a backup means the bare minimum, a single TV, lights, PC, laptops, routers etc, but it looks like some people have different ideas.

I sometimes have 3 TVs on, plus have had my pc on during load shedding, but I've got double that in backup.
Depending on what you're doing on the TVs that could only be 300w. Aircon and fans though.

Yeah, as far as electronics are concerned you can have everything on, that's my idea of a battery and inverter backup, lights and electronics, everything else can wait.

I think the biggest issue is a lot of people don't do an energy audit before, though I would still love to know 5.2 kw in 2 hours

Its impressive I've even had a geyser on for 30mins and got nowhere near draining my 5kwh battery in 2 hours.

I think first concern is draining the battery until it switches off.

This is a 100Ah battery, for 5kW system?

100ah 52v battery, not exactly the same as a 12v 100ah :)

And? I'm not the one who runs my battery flat. If OP is pulling 3-4000W that means nothing.

That a 100ah 52v battery is 5kw/h so for a 5kw system it's fine, though I'd love to know how he's pulling 1.8kw/h or more
