Battery inverter principle of communication base station

How does a battery-inverter system work?

In a power system with closed-loop communication, the inverter, solar charge controllers, and other components do not control the battery. Instead, the battery informs the decisions made by everything else in the system. The performance of any battery-inverter combination depends on how effectively the battery can fulfill this role.

What is a basic battery communication system?

As you will see, this is not always a given. In a basic battery communication system, the main information shared is the battery telling the inverter whether or not it will accept or give a current at this moment. A system with basic communication offers reliability and noticeable performance advantages over non-communicating lithium batteries.

What makes a good battery-inverter combination?

The performance of any battery-inverter combination depends on how effectively the battery can fulfill this role. For the battery to receive what it needs and for the system to operate at peak performance, these control messages must be accurate and well-understood by the rest of the system. As you will see, this is not always a given.

Are budget battery companies compatible with inverters?

Most budget battery companies don’t have support from the inverter companies they claim compatibility with. Rather, they reverse-engineer communication protocols established by officially supported brands or simply buy and incorporate their BMS boards.

How does a victron inverter work?

With this information, the Victron inverter can optimize the charging process and maximize the battery's capacity, allowing it to be discharged down to 95% DOD (Depth of Discharge), also known as 5% SOC. This communication occurs seamlessly and does not require complex programming during commissioning.

Why is battery communication so important?

Battery communication is more complicated (and more critical) than most brands care to delve into - and this is understandable; too much information can overwhelm, and no battery manufacturer wants to discourage a potential customer who already owns a Schnider, Solark, or any other brand from using their battery.
