The inverter is up and running, seeing AC Coupled solar input, basically sees everything but the battery. I have tried setting Brand to 0 and 1. Inverter is on latest firmware.
Since the battery has never communicated with the inverter I went to update the firmware on the inverter and I'm worried it is bricked. I turned the battery off, plugged the rs232 cable into one of the battery-comm ports, plugged in the USB, set the dip's to all "on", and powered on the battery. It went into a boot loop 10-15 times and then didn't boot up at all. No matter what cables, dip settings, anything, it won't power on.
This is beyond frustrating.
