The connects at the bars are all good. Lock tite is a wonderful thing. :) the he wife is working, so can't check at the inverter at the moment. I'll update when done. Thanks for the tip.

Im getting the actual voltage from the batteries which matches the Victron battery monitor that is connected in line with the EG4 at the bus bars. The inverter uses 0000 cable to the bus bars, and a 125 amp class T fuse on the + side. We're talking very short runs here, and oversized cables.

Why would the EG4 all of a sudden start reading .31 volts lower than the actual? This is a problem as the actual charging results have been .31 higher than the batteries max recommended amount. Note: As the bank is comprised of (12) 12v 220ah units wired in 3 series sets of 4 batteries, making...

Didn't find a previous post specific to this. Have a genset that has a remote start key fob. To activate, you press the Start button twice to start, and a separate Off button to turn off (single press). On the generator itself, you must press the Start button twice to start it as well, once to...

It seems that doing a twirl, standing on one leg, and then rebooting works! All good now...

Went to connect a set of panels to it for the first time, and get a repeating beep on the EG4 all in one, but no fault code. Its just 4 x 380 watt in series. 181v at 9.41 amps. Way below the 500vdc max. Everything is in palarity is correct. I my try skipping the combiner box, but thought I'd ask...

Never mind....got it. I'm just dumb... ?

That may have done it! I didn't have an automotive charger (gave to my son recently), so I just hooked it to the hummer with jumper cables. After a few minutes I attached the Victron to the second set of battery lugs and where it was showing 0 amps when "charging", it's now showing 3 amps and...

Good idea. Didn't try a small resistive load, like a 12v led light. You also suggest series the batteries and check voltage?

Yeah. Already did that, as my father-in-law wanted lights...lol. That's also why I went directly to the converter, skipping all the old wiring from the house battery location to make sure a bad ground or short wasn't an issue, but everything worked as normal on the old lead acid when put back in...

Good idea. I just looked at the website. No Bluetooth capability. The Faq was pretty sparce. I already submitted the problem to the support team, but as they're on China time I won't here back until tomorrow, and rather than an answer, it will probably a series of dumb questions from a script...

That's a good idea, but how do I test for that as it goes to zero without a load? When I connect anything, as I stated, a 300w inverter with no load on it, just connecting the leads, makes it go to zero. When I connect the Victron charger, it shows 14.4 volts, Absorb, but at 0.0 amps? Is it...

These are fortunately red/black. Also tried going directly to the convertor +/- with new wire from 3 feet away....same, but I had also tried a 300w invert directly off the battery with no load, and it went to 0v as well, and back to 12.4v when removed.

Picked up on Wills recommendation video a TimeUSB 220ah 12.8v lifepo4 battery The plan is to just replace the house battery with this unit. But, it appears the BMS has a different plan. When I connect it to the existing batteries location, the voltage drops to 0, and you can hear the BMS...

That's good to know. Let us know how it works out.
