    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Hmm the upgrade didn't seem to help one bit. It finished about 2 hours ago and its not using the batteries or solar at all. It did restart with the first file and after the second update I did a restart from the control panel to make sure that wasn't the issue. I think I have the settings to...

    Thank you! I'll upgrade the firmware and try disabling charge last. I had it disabled before but then found it was charging the battery and using the grid

    I think this shows all the settings. No charge first, set for charge last. CTs are connected and working great. Has been working fine for weeks. Did trip a breaker about a month ago but nothing like that now. And it started working again too. Weird stuff (to me)!

    So this started happening a few days ago. Comes and goes as it pleases. No changes in settings in a few weeks. Has been using little to zero grid for about a month. No breakers tripped. Yesterday it started working again in the afternoon. Sun is quite full so should be seeing around 6000W...

    Well nevermind.. it started working again. Super odd. Hopefully it was just a long delay after changing that setting. Thanks again!

    I changed that and didn't see a difference. I restarted the inverter through the menus too

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Probably a dumb question but I'm stuck. Yesterday had a battery status check error. Looked at the 6 batteries and one was in alarm but others were all charged. Restarted the problem battery and the alarm cleared but then now the inverter isn't backfeeding any power. The CTs are still...

    Will do. I wondered why they wanted the ID changed when the BMS software recognized each one. Thanks for the tips

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Do I need to upgrade the firmware on every battery? From the BMS laptop software I could see all 6 batteries to I'm surprised the inverter can only see 1. I thought I read only the battery connected to the inverter directly needed the newer firmware

    Thanks. I'll check the battery tab too but you can see the BMS limit below is only 50A. Maybe its only seeing one battery

    EG4 18kPV Q+A general thread

    Can't find the answer after searching.. Have an 18k and 6 EG4 Lifepower4 Batteries. The BMS is working after upgrading one of the batteries but I see a flat line when charging. I can see on the web interface the BMS charge limit of 50A which seems a bit low. Do I need to upgrade all of the...

    Dang even for the critical load panel? Will do. Didn't realize it was required! Only held off so I could keep the AC on
