Thanks Jared! I was just wondering about open loop. However, I have 6 EG4 Lifepower4 batteries with rack and an EG4 communications hub. I was told a year ago by signature solar to set the voltage in the hub to 56.5 for closed loop. Setting the value in the hub to 56.5 changes the following settings in my inverter: float voltage, absorption voltage, and equalization voltage all to 56.5. Say I change it to 56.2, it will change all three of those settings to 56.2. There's nothing I can do about that. Do you have any insight on this?

I was able to get the EG4 LiFePOWER4 Communications Hub reading all the batteries but I haven't been able to read any historical data from the hub. The YouTube makes it look easy but no go so far. Working with a EG4 inverter and I can see all the data on the HUB. I just cant read the SD card through Battery test software.

Could you post a few screenshots of this?
@EG4_Jared Hey Jared. I asked you about this a few weeks ago but never heard back.

I had to put the computer on the inverter port not the battery side. After a cup of strong coffee I figured it out this morning
I can tonight, Work gets in the way of my solar fun.

I do apologize; setting the voltage to either 56.5v or 56.2v should not significantly affect performance. The LifePower4 is designed to technically support up to 57.2v before triggering an overprotection warning and 58.4v before module voltage protection with the latest firmware.
