Thank you very much!!

Hi Niel.

Not sure if anyone here has Luxpower experiences, maybe someone may have an idea on the Volta batt. :man_shrugging:

Hi Niel

I installed a combo like this for my sister a few weeks ago. @Tariqe also has done many of these installs.

What exactly do you need help with.

For the comms, I used the standard cable that came with the battery / inverter on CAN. Can’t remember which one came with the cable. On the inverter I used the pylontech profile

Just follow the steps in the inverter manual. The interface is similar to an axpert range and if you, like me, haven’t used an axpert before, it’s not very easy to get through.

I have done 4 of the exact same combo, it is not the easiest of inverters to set up, the Sunsynk/Deye is a breeze compared to this one, I actually connected each one temporarily at home with a battery and grid connection and went thru the settings, before installing at a clients home, Vassen asked me on the phone how to program it and I couldn’t remember half the stuff needed.

Hi there Vassen

First things first… HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I came across this forum when looking for answers about my Luxpower 5kw inverter combined with 3x Volta stage 1 lithium batteries.

I’ve installed the setup my self on 24th Dec. 2024. At first everything worked fine, but on the 28th I noticed that the batteries charge up to 98% and stop. Sometimes it’s fluctuating between 96% and 98% or 98% and 100%.(this is after 2pm,by which time the PV panels have had the batteries fully charged and there are no discharge from the batteries) Also, my amps show 20084ah. At first I had the battery setting on code 6. I tried code 0 but since today I run it on code 2. Now since I’ve put it on code 2, it shows 103 ah on the inverter, instead of
20084 ah. That should be 300 ah, right?

I got the com cables that came with the batteries connected from 3rd battery OUT to 2nd battery IN and 2nd battery OUT to 1st battery IN and from 1st battery CAN to Inverter.

What am I doing wrong?

I would appreciate it so much if you or someone could shed some light on my situation.

Thanks alot.

Greetings,
Johann

Hi Johann,
Unless I am missing something, shouldn’t it be 1st battery OUT to 2nd battery IN, from 2nd battery OUT to 3rd battery IN ?

Hi Tariqe,

Thanks for the info. I am completely new to this kind of inverters and batteries, so I am open to any suggestions and help.

I will try that and see what happens.

Thanks again,
Greetings

Hi Tariqe,

Hope you are doing well.

I connected the com cables like you said, but that didn’t change anything.

I am wondering if the com cables that came with the batteries are the right kind… I am no expert at that level at all. Lol

Thanks

Hi Johann

Sorry for the delayed response. Did you eventually come right?

I only installed the one system that I mentioned above and that was with a single battery.

I also had issues with the battery charging / discharging and eventually contacted Luxpower support who did an update and changed the configuration settings.

Afterwards it seemed to be stable.

Hi Johann,
Apologies, I missed your question.
I also have installed/ 4 luxpower/Volta combo’s , but with a single battery only, like Vassen said, best to contact Luxpower.
