  • My SOC dropped 3% in 2 1/2 hours, which is an improvement from the 5% or so I had been seeing. I've just confirmed that all the batteries I updated yesterday have all got the new software. Repeated issues with the first battery and then the odd interruption when updating the software on the others when I was updating yesterday, gave me some doubt. I'll log data over the next few days and if it continues I'll see what infinity say. As I previously said the old battery stack was rock solid, no loss seen when battery on standby.

  • Do you see much loss when the battery stack is on standby? was that the period after charging till 05:00?

    Had an email from Infinity confirming that batteries with GB009 in the serial number (large plugs old style), the latest firmware is the AB_AIO_4850_V121A_0411_TEST. Batteries with GB09 in the serial number (mini plugs, new style) latest firmware is GD305_2400_V12BE_23112809, both of which I have been provided with by Infinity. They advised to allow my stack to have 3-4 large charge/discharge cycles to see if that settles the SOC loss on standby.

    Yeah the graph shows about 2% loss. Can you ping me over firmware and I will see how I go?

    1% over 6 hours but another dead battery. Version 1. Wouldn’t turn on after powering down

    Is that with the updated firmware? Very good. 
    Bummer about another dud battery, perhaps the fuse inside is getting tired (poor quality?).
