I'm getting 2 nissan G1 lithium packs, need some help setting up the epever tracer AN. I've deduced the following:
Each battery is a 2s2p, 2 of them should give me ~16v and still work with a non 24v+ voc panel. A kind of "turbo" 12v system.
[B]Empty voltage[/B] 2.5v per cell
[B]Nominal[/B] 3.75v per cell
[B]Max[/B] 4.15v per cell
[B]Knee[/B] 3.2v per cell (from users of large banks on youtube)
Operation temperature range -25 ~ 60 ℃ (which i will just program)
So now for the epever,30A: less straight forward. It claims to support lithium but these settings can only be set up from the user parameters in the PC software. I don't know if the "lithium" parameter page settings all even work or what oilengine control is.
This is what I have so far:
[B]Over Voltage Disconnect:[/B] 16.6 (4.15)
[B]Over voltage reconnect[/B] 16.2 (4.05)
[B]Equalization:[/B] 16.4v (4.1) time 0,disabled
[B]Boost Voltage:[/B] 16.4v (4.1) time 0, disabled
[B]Float Voltage:[/B] 15.6v (3.9) ??
[B]Boost Reconnect[/B] 15.2v (3.8) ??
[B]Charge limit:[/B] 16.4v (4.1)
[B]Discharge Limit[/B] 12v (3.0)
[B]Low Voltage Disconnect:[/B] 12.8v (3.2)
[B]Low Voltage Reconnect [/B]14v (3.5)
[B]Under voltage warning:[/B] 13.2v (3.3)
[B]Under volt end[/B] 14v (3.5)
Aiming to get an SOC in the low 90s and discharge to about the knee voltage where current output will drop anyway.
What I don't know is if the float voltage should be lower/higher and if I should be completely disabling the boost/absorb stage. With the time at 0 the controller will charge in bulk to 16.4 and then drop into float, which is hopefully low enough to not stress the cells but still allow the panel to directly drive loads.
Not sure what voltage will bring back the bulk charge unfortunately or if that boost should act as a buffer in between.
What it looks like in the software:
