Guys
I am in need of some guidance.
Not long after I installed my PV/Batt system, I had a bit of an issue, the exact details I cannot now recall.
After investigation, I was advised that a file was "stuck" and the internal dongle appeared to be faulty.
I was asked if I had a spare USB memory stick, which I did. I was told to ensure there were no files on it, load the .bin file I was sent and insert. This I did by formatting it and then discarded the faulty USB stick as I was told to.
All good.
Earlier this year the dashboard started showing the battery storage going ape. It would indicate 0% then jump to 100% and vice versa several times a day.
Tech help identified a "stuck file" and suggested I make sure there were no files on the USB stick and copy the supplied .bin file. Just as previous.
I checked the USB and discovered a hidden folder containing hidden files, which I could not get rid of. These, apparently, were written by Windows when I formatted it.
Tech help advised me that the issue I was having was because of these files, and why was there a SanDisk unit plugged in and where was the original?
After explaining the history, I was told I would be sent a replacement USB stick.
There is, currently, no USB stick fitted, which means that no S/W updates can be installed, the battery cannot do its calibration routines.
That was Sept. I have emailed and phoned multiple times but I still do not have the requisite USB.
Any suggestions? Does anyone have the CEO's email?
TIA

Onboard USB memory stick problems
what kit have you got?
go and buy a USB stick and format it
I have a copy of 3012 that I put on my Gen1 Hy5.0 that GivEnergy sent me. I can email you that if any good
Hi Steve.
I have a GivEnergy 8.2kWh LiFePO4 Battery with GivEnergy 3.6kW Hybrid inverter.
I have, the file BMS_ARM.bin which was sent to me in Sept
As I stated I have a USB stick, which I formatted (full not quick), but the hidden folder and its files (System Volume Information) are rewritten to it by Windows. These are the files that, apparently, are causing the "stuck" files.

Try method 3, but make sure it is the USB you clean.
Method 3. Run CMD Clean/Clean All Command Lines to Erase USB Drive

Thanks Steve.
I'll try that later, but not tonight, as I'm off out shortly.
Have a great New Year, and all the best for '24.
Don't buy a SanDisk USB !! They crash the BMS for some strange reason.

Interesting.
Any suggestions as to RELIABLE brands?
