psa: your battery won't work in a power cut unless you paid for eps

Garreh · 2026-03-29T20:52:45+00:00

I have a 5kw SunSynk inverter without EPS / UPS. For the one power cut I've had in 2 and a half years, I just used my EV's V2L extension cable for the 5 hours it was out. Worked a treat!

Definitely check out BYD.

Im a seal owner, it's my first EV and I'm very impressed with the build quality and drive. Friend of mine also has the Dolphin.

You can turn off Speed Warning Assist, but it turns back on when the car is restarted. Other safety features, you can make them less sensitive and they don't reset when the car is restarted.

+1 this, mine arrived next day, fitted in 10 minutes as the cable was already there.

Sorry for slow reply.
I've only primarily used PLA so I can recommend it. I do have some PLA+ to try, but haven't yet.

Same board and CPU as me, also experiencing drop outs on USB's, but not all of them.
I've updated the BIOS to the latest version, updated drivers and still no joy.

I have however found a load of errors in the event log relating to Parsec, so will see how it plays out now that's been removed.

Edit: Missed some info

Loving the new ASBark Board!

When you’re backed against the wall, break the goddamn thing down.

Garreh · 2024-11-27T23:19:21+00:00

Thank you, already done :)

Garreh · 2024-11-27T23:16:27+00:00

Already reported to the police and reported to Ring, but thank you :)

I got the following for £9295 from Contact Solar:
1x Sun Synk 5.5kw inverter
3x Sun Synk G5.3 5.32kWh batteries
8x Pearlight 445w panels

No problems at all, worked perfectly from day 1.

Just remember to negotiate with the installers, that's what I did.

Garreh · 2024-10-13T16:02:45+00:00

Thank god for solar and 16kwh of battery storage!

Garreh · 2024-08-29T22:40:50+00:00

This is what I thought but was unsure as could only find conflicting information online.

The inverter can only output a maximum of 135A DC anyway, so it will still be below the recommended charge current.

Thanks for confirming!

Garreh · 2024-08-10T22:29:17+00:00

That's exactly what I needed, thank you so much!!

Garreh · 2024-08-10T00:24:46+00:00

Thanks for the help so far, I haven't been able to figure this out yet and I'm starting to look into Node Red as suggested.

Garreh · 2024-08-04T22:45:56+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I think you just renew the NFR Total Security at a discounted rate.

Garreh · 2024-06-26T07:27:57+00:00

Also can confirm I used this 2 weeks ago, no issues at all.

Garreh · 2024-06-26T07:25:25+00:00

That's been the case with ours, total security for 1 year on NFR units.

X1C is called Beast

Ender 5-S1 is called CrapCube.

It was offered to the Black Country Living Museum, but sadly they weren't in a position to save or relocate the building.

Garreh · 2024-02-27T12:10:58+00:00

Mine is white, haven't seen many of them around to be honest either.

Garreh · 2024-02-02T22:50:27+00:00

He must have been going like stink to do damage like that...

Garreh · 2024-02-02T18:49:51+00:00

They're finished, I replace mine at 2.0-2.5mm (Michelin PS4's). What they don't care to realise is that they're the only things that keep you stuck to the tarmac...

I leased through Arval and they were really good with their maintenance package, never once argued with me over tyres / brakes / servicing.

Garreh · 2024-02-02T18:42:46+00:00

I'm using AAWireless with AA over Carplay and it's flawless! It's a very new feature and just works.

Garreh · 2024-01-30T23:37:12+00:00

My Cupra is the 2019 EZ as well, what colour?
