Questions I can't find covered in the manual about the MNPowerFlo5?

[bailey]

1)  Does the BMS use FET's or mechanical contactor(s) to disconnect the battery from the inverter if it detects an error/fault condition?

2)  How much energy does the battery consume internally when it is turned on?

3)  Is it compatible with SMA Sunny Island 6048-US inverters in closed-loop mode?

Thanks!

1- Fets
2- 2.3 Watts
3- If the SMA has the ability to talk "Pylon" yes it should work as the MNPowerflo5 has Pylon protocol in it as well as the Midnite protocol

Topic heading is correct so I post more questions here:

Please provide additional dimensions missing from the V1.3.0-BETA revision of the MNPowerFlow5 User Manual. In particular the following:

1) Overall height of battery with stacking brackets installed.

2) Stacked spacing between centers with brackets installed (there appears to be some nesting or overlap between stack levels).

4) Did the stacking distance change between the brackets of V1.2.0-BETA and V1.3.0-BETA?

5) Overall body width with brackets installed.

6) Overall width including handles (Dimension lines changed between V1.2.0-BETA and V1.3.0-BETA.).

7) Front clearance beyond front flange needed to support all wiring connections to the front panel (Figure in section 6.2.5).

Thanks,

I'll also post another question here:

Please provide additional information missing from the V1.3.0-BETA revision of the MNPowerFlow5 User Manual. In particular the following:

8. The manual doesn't mention what charge controller set points need to be used with that battery. Assuming I want to use this battery with a Midnite Classic charge controller, what's the absorb voltage and time, what is the float voltage the battery should be kept at?

Thanks,

Kurt,
It is on the battery sticker but here are the settings
Absorb 56.4V
Absorb Time 5 minutes (00:05) on the classic
Float 54V
