6000XP Quick Charge - EPS Switch must be on for AC charging

Oh in case it matters this whole time of testing I've had EPS Output OFF. Breaker on, but the switch is off.
I think EPS needs to be on.

Edit to say - I think solar is the only charging method that works when EPS is off. (I Could be wrong)
 
Oh good Lord, that was it. That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me but whatever.

I don’t turn it on when I don’t have a load because of the drain. But if I want to prepare for a storm I’ll remember to flip it on first.

Connections to the house loads and breakers will happen tomorrow.

EPS switch
 
Yea that'd be a good amendment for the manual. Actually I've seen a few errors and other things in the manual that need updating.
Can you edit your main post title to include. "EPS Switch must be on for AC charging"

That might help someone in the future, if they have a similar issue.
 
When it got to 100% solar stopped coming in. So I plugged in the Tesla and set it to 8 amps. But I can stop that and just let them top balance till the storms get here in 3 hrs. I noticed when the inverter showed 100% one LL-s showed 100% and the other one was 98% even though both said the same voltage.

Do you recall the voltage?

No, but I'm playing around with the "AC first" setting now so I set that to take the load for an hour - worked great. So I'm slowly bringing it back up to 100% by EOD and will let you know.

What should the V be for these two LL-S's when at 100%? Breaking out the manual now...

Anything over 55v is sufficient.Screenshot_20240112_131159_Edge.jpg
 
100%
53.8 Vdc

BMS Limit Charge: 10 A
BMS Limit Discharge: 200 A
BMS Charge: Forbidden
BMS Discharge: Allowed
BMS Force Charge: OFF

So now I'm just letting it top balance I guess? Solar dropped to just going to load. This is usually my peak solar time of day.

When I started the system up I did so with battery comms. I didn't set any battery settings in the inverter other than to set setting 3 to Lithium and 0=EG4, it pulled everything else from the batteries themselves. Actually I don't even see where to tell it to charge up to 56v unless I set it to lead acid first.

Quickest way that I've found.

Change to lead battery type.
Bulk 56
Float 56
Max charge amps 10.

Let it stay on utility for a few hours.
