[RE-wrenches] kilovault 2400 HLX Lithium Battery Charging.....

[Starlight]

Hello Jim,

If you ever need Kilovolt battery service for the 100, 200 or 300AH, we stock parts, can update firmware and repair batteries.  

It is important to use 12 volt balancers between each series pair. Victron Battery Balancer has been an excellent product. Be sure to use the cross connectors for each parallel battery.

Does anyone have any experience with the Kilovault 2400 HLX 12v batteries.  I have a customer that wants to hook up a generator to his system and go over programming on an outback system.  I looked up this battery company and they don't have a website and their phone number didn't work so I assume the company is out of business.  I found a manual and the specs state that the bulk charge time is 2 minutes per battery I assume.  I'm still a rookie and learning the proper charging parameters for different kinds of batteries so any help would be appreciated.  He hasn't given me much info, but apparently there are......
-8 batteries on a 48v system.  I assume the batteries are 2 strings of 4 batteries.  

-Outback FXR 30/48 inverter

-Outback FM Charge Controller.  He didn't say what size, but the assumption is 80a

-MATE 3 controller

-Solar....not known at the moment

-Gasoline powered 120v output portable generator.....KW is unknown at the moment.  *I don't like this, but it's what the customer bought.
