For those who've been following the saga of our solar PV & battery storage system, the latest news is that I decommissioned our last Redflow ZCell a week ago in order to have two stacks of three Pylontech Pelio batteries (https://en.pylontech.com.cn/products/Pelio) installed. As described in my last blog post (https://ourobengr.com/2025/12/what-happened-next/) I'd pushed the failing ZCells as far - or possibly further - than could reasonably be expected. These new batteries work just fine with our existing Victron inverter/charger gear, and give us just under 30kWh of usable storage capacity. I'll do a proper writeup in due course once they've got a few more miles on them, but for now here's a picture.

@tserong after some wrong 3 AM "nuclear meltdown" alarms from my Pylontech US2000Cs I recommend to watch out for firmware updates for Pylontech products. (They work 24/7 without issues now for years)
@stereo4x4 thanks for the tip 🙂
