    LifePower4 Battery stack charge imbalance

    Something I did a couple weeks ago I wish would have done back in December was raise my discharge cut off up until I was getting back to 100 percent once a week or so. I realized I wasn't gaining anything going down if never got it back same kwh regardless, just went up to 30 was able to go back...

    Well pump problem with EG4 18kPV

    What’s the frequency set on the inverter. Seen some had issues where factory default was 50 and didn’t get changed.

    EG4 6500EX Problem

    I will let others help you further diagnose but I am fairly certain you shorted the DC bus by paralleling the PV . I only say that because in my beginner stupidity I did the same.

    EG4 6500EX Problem

    At any point did you have both connected to the pv at the same time? By that I mean paralleling the one pv to both inverters.

    EG4 6500EX Problem

    Just out of curiosity how do you have your pv wired to and from the imo disconnect. A pv short can short out the dc bus and cause batteries to trip also. I learned this the hard way myself.

    18kpv settings help

    That is supposed to be right from what I remember they can be reversed from the touch pad its obvious very quickly if they are wrong the export number will shoot up. They can only be plugged in one way on the board.

    18kpv settings help

    You really haven't exported that much its monitoring isn't that great for what it reports. How do you have it wired up pass thru or critical loads panel? Is your dongle set up and working? You can temporarily cut off the grid feed to it to you can get everything resolved.

    18kpv settings help

    You are going to see some export more so on the screen than what it actually is doing its more of a net zero export than a true zero which is pretty much impossible. The only way to do it as posted above is off grid mode.

    36KW water heater? How could you even...

    My HPWH is in the laundry room with the inverters so they have a mutually beneficial relationship. Sometimes in summer I just start running hot water to help cool that room down maybe a week or so in winter will it actually get cold in there.

    Testing EG4 6000XP AIO inverter.

    Okay peaked my curiosity when Will mentioned it in his video cause it could supplement mine just enough to be able to put my 18kpv in "off grid mode". My wife somehow can get it up to 15kw when she's home alone ha. be a lot cheaper then adding a second when i don't need that much.
