  • Post in thread: Luxpower LXP6K vs EG4 6000XP

    I got my inverter from them before I really knew about this forum and the big world of modern LiFePO4 and AIO solar systems. They shipped quick enough and were kind enough to negotiate compensation for some minor shipping damage. I would say they are likely understaffed so email responses may...
  • Post in thread: RuiXU battery experiences

    Shipment arrived yesterday on 2 pallets, one with the 6-slot cabinet and one with the 4 battery packs. Shipping in Canada was with Day and Ross transport with final delivery by smaller truck with power liftgate. Boxes looked fine, took about a week from Toronto warehouse to west coast. Have not...
  • Post in thread: Thoughts on the AOlithium 51.2 server rack lithium battery -48v

    Had 2 units delivered today. Order was processed on the 25th and looks like freight logistics got it moving in early December. Nothing wrong with shipping times but seems AOLithium customer support does not have access to the waybill records of shipments out of the Canadian warehouse agent...
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000xp PV startup voltage?

    Maybe I would have to run my 10 405W Longi's in a 10s configuration... would be about 400V 13A max... for one MPPT though. Early morning would be ~180V and typical mid-day would be 360V where I am..
  • Post in thread: AOLithium 51.2v rackmount batteries

    It seems nobody looked at them besides Will. There is another thread that will have owner feedback in the next few weeks once the packs arrive. Also note that Ruixu also dropped the price for black Friday to 1199
  • Post in thread: Thoughts on the AOlithium 51.2 server rack lithium battery -48v

    Yup @moc , all in appears to be the most cost effective per pack for Canadian consumers. If you buy just 1 they are 18% cheaper than the new Ruixu but if you buy a set of 4 they are about 7% less costly. So the more you buy the closer Ruixu gets to price,.. they are alot bulkier than the...
  • Post in thread: New EG4 Chargeverter V2

    Honestly,.. My use case is a "Chargeverter Lite" with only 1 of the power supplies to be 120V input only. Very basic settings for voltage and current and maybe a timer with the most economical display they can find.. Zero bells please..
  • Post in thread: Aolithium and a bus bar setup

    I think this guy is doing what you suggested.
  • Post in thread: Help connecting battery monitor to SolarAssistant

    Same Question.. Using "inverter values" is ok but there is not battery temp info passed through the Voltronic it seems. How do people connect both the inverter and the battery stack to the SA unit
  • Post in thread: Inverter not reading SOC

    I am not sure if trhe EG4 batteries are only capable of EG4 protocol... would seem limiting if so.. One thing to try; Make sure you have the cable correctly wired for RS485 communication and try the PYL format battery on the inverter settings. Below is a map from Ruixu for RS485 communication...
  • Post in thread: AOLithium (48V) Buyer Feedback

    I just noticed on the Canadian storefront they have the server rack pack covered by a 4-year warranty... I could swear this was the full 8 years when I ordered back in November. The policy now shows 4-years for the server rack units but 8 years for their 12V packs.. Looking on the...
  • Post in thread: Solar assistant: do you use it?

    Nice. I wish I could see all the metrics per battery.. The Ruixu packs use LIB protocol for my setup and the Solar Assistant driver for that protocol is bare bones.. One value for voltage and current for the entire stack, no temps either.
  • Post in thread: Thoughts on the AOlithium 51.2 server rack lithium battery -48v

    Yeah me too.. They said shipped but the only reference is an internal shipment number.. They said no tracking but the trucking company might call or they might just show up. They did say that that work with DHL so who knows. They really need an agreement with a North American dealer to...
  • Post in thread: New EG4 Chargeverter V2

    Says it of stock again, all V1's have been snached up it seems. Or my email link was bad.
  • Post in thread: Thoughts on the AOlithium 51.2 server rack lithium battery -48v

    Sounds good, share some photos when you get it going. Also let us know if you get communications to work properly.. if that is something you will connect. Also I assume that any 19" rack will work? although the AOLithium packs are quite long I think.
  • Post in thread: Maple Leaf Power Wall

    I think it is a branded TOPBAND unit. Not many others on the market but I am pretty sure TOPBAND also makes the Ruixu branded rack batteries and Will loves those.. So..
  • Post in thread: AOLithium possible scam?

    That is some beefy packaging.. They are doing somethings right but management of pre-order communication is not one of them
  • Post in thread: EG4 3000 with AOLithium server rack batteries and communications(RS485)

    Oh right, they stopped including cables. For best results you can use the longer cables for each pack and cut them to length if desired to connect to the master bus bar. But... the current demand of the 3000 is likely not to be an issue even if you went with the parallel cables. The AOLithium...
  • Post in thread: Chargeverter Availability? (Early 2024)

    V2, $480 pre-order what exactly are the improvements... looks like it supports some sort of BMS communication now.. https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-chargeverter-gc-48v-100a-battery-charger-5120w-output-240-120v-input-pre-order/
  • Post in thread: RuiXU battery experiences

    RJ45 is the connection type I believe and RS485 is the communication standard. Somewhere in the manual I read about the max length of the communication cable before signal is degraded.. Don't recall at the moment.
  • Post in thread: AOlithium batteries on Sale in Canada 48v and 12v

    Looks like their entire shipment was sold off and they are now only getting stock in January.
  • Post in thread: Maple Leaf Branded 6500EX-48 - Any Experince?

    This one is only 250VOC.. Not 500VOC like on the EG4. It also does not have PV input strain relief like EG4's 6500EX, it has MC4 adapters.
  • Post in thread: AOLithium possible scam?

    So the order to delivery was 8-9 days,.. All they needed was a shipping notification with tracking details.. A lot of fuss could have been avoided. How did the packs look? Let us know if they work or are junk. For the price I guess they are cutting corners on customer support.. You are...
  • Post in thread: Thoughts on the AOlithium 51.2 server rack lithium battery -48v

    Damn, Is this reported by the BMS and also observable when measuring cells directly?.. They are ridiculously low price for Black friday deal and people are jumping on it.
  • Post in thread: Thoughts on the AOlithium 51.2 server rack lithium battery -48v

    Mine arrived in mint condition but I agree a strap is a good idea.
  • Post in thread: Luxpower LXP6K vs EG4 6000XP

    I will see if I can do the same thing. Thanks.
  • Post in thread: RuiXU battery experiences

    Thats what I was thinking.. maybe the initial charge did not fully complete properly. I will try that again. Very strange it died with 93%
  • Post in thread: RuiXU battery experiences

    Further to above.. They are not yet selling the floor or wall brackets. Maybe their support people can give us an idea when they may be available
  • Post in thread: Eg4 6000ex battery capacity in Solar Assistant

    Yeah I guess that's my question.. Should the Master Ruixu be able to pass this data to the Voltronic/MPP inverter?.. I manually set 19.2 kW but would be nice to know if there is setting I missed somewhere
  • Post in thread: EG4 3000 with AOLithium server rack batteries and communications(RS485)

    Good to hear what you think of the AOLithium packs. You will have to play around with the dip switches to see if one of the protocols above will work. Also make sure the communication cable pin-outs are correct for the AIO port CAN com channels. AOLithium does include a network cable but it's a...
