<div id="signature">So this is all open loop with outback correct? I can't even get into Simplyphi. website today. Maybe the windows update...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The battery below was suppose to be networkable but it looks like not much progress.
<ul style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; font-family: Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">
<li style="color: #000000 !important; font-weight: 400 !important;">Model: AmpliPHI 3.8kWh</li>
<li style="color: #000000 !important; font-weight: 400 !important;">Inverter compatibility: Sol-Ark, SMA (coming soon), Schneider Electric (coming soon)</li>
</ul>
A question, it looks like Outback is not closed loop with any battery company. I hope I am wrong!<br />

<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-family: times new roman,serif; font-size: large;">Is it similar to my problem with my Simplify batteries? Over time, the BMS did not allow all cells to charge the same. To correct this, I had to charge each battery separately, and after this, they stayed equivalent for more years. </div>

<p class="v1MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana,'sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">I have only purchased one set of Fortress batteries. There have been issues, I am sure many of them self-induced. Fortress has been overall very responsive. There have been a few days where I could not get through to technical support but with persistence I always manage. Fortress has offered truck–roll compensation at a reasonable rate as well.</span></p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal">Good morning my fellow wrenchers. While I see the comments on SunPower and the challenges, are any of you having similar issues with Fortress? Their bms boards from the early classics have not held up and even after replacement there are still issues ( parallel batteries and stand alone not showing accurate #'s, ). While support has been, well supportive, the issues persist. Any thoughts or fixes you have come up with?? I just had a customer unplug the coms cable from their sol-ark and bring their readings to volts VS %% and it is starting to work a bit better. Any and all help or ideas appreciated.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Thx<br />peter Giroux</p>
