So I've taken the plunge and bought some new batteries, fogstar rack ones - arriving soon.

Means my uHome ones are for sale, 

@newbuilder, @philologus, I've 6 uHome's any interest in one / some / all before I put them on the fun that is ebay?

Thanks

Let me know if you don't have takers for all of them please, I might be interested in some.

Yes, the 30kWh one is on my shopping list. I'm hoping the next shipment will be even better value, with the price of lithium crashing, and overcapacity in Chinese battery factories.

In a similar vein, if anyone is interested in some pylons, I have 8 x 2.4's and 1 x 3.5 to sell, and will probably stick them on 'the bay '

@Solarchaser, I could be interested in some of your batts. I'll PM you

Anyone ever tried to add a new battery in (uhome) to find that the addition stops the batts from charging to 99%. Voltage tolerance is within 2V, they were at the same SOC. in the evening they can be seen balancing themselves out by taking small hits of electric and then discharging. With new batt first the Soc gets to 80 but with existing bath first I can reach 90%. This was advertised as a new batt but it came out with its shopping box and had been batered.

Sorry for obvious question but are all the dip switches definitely in the right configuration?

Sorry from your signature I thought you had 4+ batteries. 

I think you got your SW2 and SW3 mixed up. But my manual says the slave should have only have 3 on on SW2

Ignore that, I just checked my actual batteries and they're as you described, the printed manual must be wrong

newbuilder

so long so long story cut short. 3 batteries blew and awaiting a replacement so down to 2. 

My manual says 
parallel is
dips 1 and 3 and rotary 2 for master
dips 1 and rotary 1 for slave

are you seeing different?
