The Deye SUN-12K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 with Batrium BMS, this is how it works for me

After several days of intensive research and many attempts, I managed to connect the Deye SG05LP3-EU-SM2 to the Batrium BMS, and both now work perfectly together. For those planning to use this combination, I have put together a short guide.

The cable

I took a standard network cable, cut off one of the connectors, crimped ferrules onto the two middle wires (blue and blue-white), cut the remaining wires so they couldn’t touch to prevent a short circuit, and then covered the whole thing with heat-shrink tubing to make it look nicer. I connected the blue wire to CAN bus high and the blue-white wire to CAN bus low. It works for me without any shielding.

That’s how it should all go. :slight_smile:

I can only encourage everybody to connect the GND pin, when creating own cables for a CAN bus. Theoretically a CAN bus should work just with high and low pins, but practically a potentially very different GND potential on both ends of the bus confuses the CAN bus controller chips, especially if those GND potentials are changing a lot.

According to the instructions, the shielding should only be connected at one end.

The current setup is a test; in the final assembly I will also install a shield.

Hi Jens,

Thank you for this write up! Can we add it to our wiki for other users to benefit from?

I have noted this against your name in case you need support later on :slight_smile:

Thanks again,
James

Hi James,

I’d be very happy if you could add my post to the wiki.
My current inverter software version is:
MAIN: Ver 2107-1170-1809

Best regards from Germany!
