Exemplary SBR Balancing & Calibration

Applicable to: SBRxxx series

Updated over 3 weeks ago

In case of unbalanced SBR battery modules, follow this exemplary balancing and calibration procedure to heal the battery.

EXAMPLE OVERVIEW

Devices: SH10RT V112, SBR128

Initial Situation

  1. SOC jump from 80% to 100% while charging and

  2. SOC jump from 32% to 0% while discharging

iSolarCloud-Settings

COMMON PARAMETER SETTINGS HYBRID (Endcustomer access)

Backup mode: Set to Enable, then Reserved SOC for Backup will show. (No 3)

Reserved SOC for Backup: Set SOC in % of reserved backup power for off-grid use. (No 3-1)

ADVANCED PARAMETER SETTINGS HYBRID (Installer access)

Under Battery Parameters:

  • Max. Charging (No 4)& Discharging Power (No 5)

    • SBR096: SBR096 max. charging power should be 4.5 kW but we would lower it to 3 kW to further support the balancing procedure.

      SBR096 max. discharging power should be 4.5 kW.

    • SBR128 and higher SBR power classes: SBR128 max. charging power should be 6 kW but we would lower it to 4.5 kW.

      SBR128 max. discharging power should be 6 kW.

      SBRxxx: To calculate the charging & discharging power, take min voltage from datasheet and multiply by 30A.

      Note: A lower charging power helps to further support the balancing procedure. This is why the charging power during this procedure was even further reduced to a number below the calculated charging power (see above).

  • Insert the real Battery Capacity (No 6) according to the Datasheet.

    E.g. SBR128 → 12,8 kWh

  • Always set SOC Lower Limit (No 2) to 5% - incorrect value displayed in image.

Under Energy Management Parameters:

  • Energy Management mode (No 4): Always set to self-consumption mode. - incorrect value displayed in image.

  • Charging start and discharging start power (No 5 and 6): Set charging & discharging start power to 200W

SBR Balancing & Calibration Procedure

CHARGING PROFILE 27.01.2025-12.02.2025

Balancing & Calibration Cycle: Setting reserved SOC for backup for several days to 95% then set it to 0% and discharge from loads.

FOLLOWED PROCEDURE:

  1. From Jan 28 to Jan 31st set the reserved SOC for backup to 95%.

  2. Afterwards, set reserve SOC to 0%

  3. After 3 days with customer load it was able to fully discharge the battery to 0%

  4. On Feb 3rd put again reserved SOC to 95%.

    Note: It took 3 days to reach 95% by itself due to low sun

  5. At February 9th set again reserved SOC to 0%

  6. After the second full discharge just with customer load, the jump is from 6% to 0% (bottom right corner)

  7. Lastly, perform one more cycle and the unbalanced battery modules should be totally healed.
