    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    I'm no expert by any means but this still does not look right to me...the battery load cliff drop is happening every day around 4-6pm. (4 EG4-LL batteries, sol-ark 12k)

    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    Thanks I just found that. There's nearly always some load...at least 300W

    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    I found the cable pin out in the manual so I assume that's the problem with Sol ark comm

    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    Thank you. I've successfully updated the v1 firmware and selected Sol ark for communication. However, the Sol ark isn't seeing the batteries (I've triple checked ID's and everything). Is there a particular network cable pin out required? In using a standard RJ45 patch. Also, I successfully...

    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    Thank you. I received the cable and just finished updating the v1 firmware...I don't see an update available for v2 on the website. Also, the V2 batteries don't have the menu to select the comm protocol as shown in the video Batteries are plummeting every day within hours of PV dropping (early...

    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    I went through the YouTube video from about 8 months ago...this is the cable that was sent to me. I have 2 of them and also made one myself. I can't remember the exact error I ran into but essentially software would communicate fully. I'm pretty tech adept with a strong MS Windows background, so...

    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    Looking at the data chart for today, it looks like an extreme battery voltage drop from 56.5V down to 52.8V with load only around 1kW...bad battery pack/cells somewhere, correct?

    Capacity charging/discharging issue, only getting half. EG4-LL Lithium Battery | 48V 100AH

    I'm having a similar problem I just noticed. I've got 4 EG4-LL (1 v1 and 3 v2). All seemed well for months but now they are all only charging to about 53.5V total (all cells showing ~3333) so none appear out of balance... I'm running off grid with sol-ark 12k and charge parameter has been set...

    EG4-LifePower4 or EG4-LL Lithium Batteries not able to handle surge of table saw start-up

    I now have (1) v.1 LL and (3) v.2 connected off-grid to the Sol-Ark 12k. When I just had the single v.1, I didn't have a problem with inrush and the battery unless its charge was low. The Sol-Ark would trip a lot before their firmware update. Now, it only seems to trip with some power tools...

    Communication between EG4LL and Lifepower4 Batteries

    I have 4 total EG4-LL Lifepower4 batteries (1 v.1 and 3 v.2) connected to off grid Sol-Ark 12k. I'm unable to access the protocol selection menu by pressing the back button for 5 seconds per the manual (also followed all the other steps with dip switches, power-cycling, etc). One of the v.2's...
