Today there were new firmware and app versions available for the SBV.

If you update the master firmware you can now set the lower limit for discharging the battery. And then you are able to update the SBV with your smartphone when you're connected by bluetooth to the SBV. This worked fine so that I don't have to run my router without an UPS. I plugged now the router to the SBV, too.

My app is running on an apple phone as 4.3.0. ….. don’t know if this the latest? All Zendure updates performed successfully on the battery via the app).

Yeah I noticed the firmware update yesterday. Was hoping to get some feedback on what's fixed before I install it.

You see the changes when you start with upgrading. In the change log you have to start the upgrade one more time.

There's now a power planning function available for the SBV. You can give solar power a higher priority or set a timetable. I haven't tested it yet but when this is working this would be a great feature.

I don't understand the power plan or IT doesn't work as expected. I plugged a 200 W solar module to the SBV which is running in UPS mode. Then I set the solar priority. First there was no solar input. I had to

unplug the AC input. The in and off option of the AC input via app doesn't work. Then I got solar input. After replugging the AC input both inputs work. But the AC input wasn't lowered to charge the battery because of the parallel solar input.

Just a warning: do not updat if you're charging through solar. We're seeing serious capping issue (see the other thread). I regret updating the system

I don't see the capping issue as it still maxed at my panels capabilities like before the update.

The Superbase V shut down and trips the circuit breaker when I turn on AC while charging from the grid. It doesn’t happen when using solar to charge.
