I purchased a flexnet battery monitor and used all three channels for the IBR I have a spare Flexmax80 that powers a hub 4 and a second mate 3. You are able to aggregate this data into optics and overlay the two. I\u2019ll admit I haven\u2019t had a lot of time to tweak with it but I think you can see it as an optics preview through outback.<br><br>I agree data on the Lifpo4 is critical and my understanding is Simpliphi will be releasing a version soon that has comms.<br><br>I also have a Discover AES bank on my off grid woodshop consisting of 4 of the 6.5 coupled with three of the older xantrex xw inverters this is a great platform so far and you can see the battery as a device on the scp, you can also direct connect using a usb to usb cable to the battery and upload firmware and see the battery specifics<br><br>Jason Andrade<br>West Coast Sustainables<br><br><br>Sent from my iPhone<br><br></span><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">On Jan 23, 2019, at 2:21 PM, <a href="mailto:re-wrenches-request@lists.re-wrenches.org" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="4">re-wrenches-request@lists.re-wrenches.org</a> wrote:<br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Message: 1<br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 16:08:55 -0600<br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">From: Darryl Thayer <<a href="mailto:darylsolar1@gmail.com" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="7">darylsolar1@gmail.com</a>><br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">To: <a href="mailto:offgridsolar@sti.net" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="8">offgridsolar@sti.net</a>, newrewrenches<br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> <<a href="mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="9">RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>><br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Aquion Batteries<br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Message-ID:<br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> <<a href="mailto:CAHsrUiS+GycYp7xov4SCHHYGjdZ9=RDgLf1izqLV=K38GZzenw@mail.gmail.com" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="link" x-apple-data-detectors-result="10">CAHsrUiS+GycYp7xov4SCHHYGjdZ9=RDgLf1izqLV=K38GZzenw@mail.gmail.com</a>><br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></font></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I have used Simphiphy.
