I've been working on this off and on for a while. I have the 6500 and I'm using 2 different non-EG4 LifePo batteries at an unattended cabin. If I get enough cloudy days the batteries reach disconnect voltage and once that happens the 61 error shows up on the inverter and stays that way until I power off the whole system...Shut off the solar, then hit the reset on the battery. I'm not really sure if its supposed to do that or not. I figured that once I got a sunny day the panels would start producing enough power to charge the batteries and bring them out of disconnect status but it never happens....unless I fire up my generator with my EG4 chargeverter, then he 61 goes away the batteries come back to life and all is well. I guess that's because the Chargeverter bypasses the inverter, the inverter then realizes the batteries are back online and is back in business. I got the Chargeverter because charging by generator didn't really work right either.
Is there some setting I'm missing to get the inverter to reset when solar is back ? I thought the answer was to try to connect the batteries with the communication cable and change the battery type from USE but I got nowhere with that.
The other option I thought of was if I could get a standalone solar charger that would bypass the inverter and charge the batteries but that seems crazy as then my EG4 AIO is only an inverter.
