Using second port of EG4 18 KPV to extend battery bank

They are different brands and models 100% correct

Hmmmm. So... how are my rack of Lifepower4's going to communicate with my new 18kPV & PowerPro's?

They aren't?

This may be due to the fact that after adding a new battery, the inverter needs to do a reset in order to re-recognize and display all connected batteries.

Power pro's probably a good choice for those starting out with no other type of storage.

Well it's been a little over a month now and not a single reply so I will add an update. I still have not reset the 18 KPV. All 9 batteries are charging and discharging pretty well. They all act like a complete unit with similar cell voltages as they run down or charge up. The EG4 18kpv still show 6 batteries instead of 9. I'm starting to think that the 18kpv is only communicating with the master V-2 LL, as it has a port to connect to on the kpv. There is not a second port for battery communications, so the Hub is doing it's work but the kpv is not seeing it because I still need to do some thing.

I’m sorry nobody is replying to you. I was asking questions to and it seems like everybody scared to talk to somebody. My name is Scott. My phone number is 8048323269.

Hello Scott, No drama here it's all good in my mind.
I was told on other treads to do this and that but I haven't. Reason being, unauthorized updates will void warranty.
All my batteries are stock. All SOC numbers are in sink with all batteries. They all act as 1 battery with all readings.
The eg4Hub is connected to last battery in cabinet before connected to 3 LP's. The 3-LP's I have terminals connected to 2nd port of KPV.
It's all working fine, seems healthy, all numbers/voltages close. It's just being reconized as 6 instead of 9 on the 18kpv.
I don't really care as long as the batteries stay healthy and seem to be.
