Morning Gents
I am losing comms between my 2 x 2.5kWh BYD B box units. Installation is 3 years old and the issue started in January this year. Tried the following without success:
1. Swopping CCGX
2. Rolling back firmware
3. Changing comms cabling
What did however seem to work was replacing the CCGX with a Venus. Venus was in for 2/3 weeks without any comms failure however client does not want a Venus.
Below is screenshots when we lose comms.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Does restarting the battery or BMU help, or change anything?
Does restarting the CCGX help or change anything?
How long is the distance between the BMU and the CCGX?
What is the firmware version of the BMU and BYD modules?
What is the firmware version of the CCGX?
Can you connect to the BMU via the RS485 to USB adaptor and BYD technician software?
Hi Janhkruger,
While I haven't seen this behaviour, the first recommendations in nearly all non-obvious cases is to get the BMU and battery units up to the current firmware version and see if this corrects the fault.
The firmware is available here:

Leo a BYD service agent has made videos of the firmware update procedure here:
