    Trying to get EG4 6500 EX to reconnect to batteries

    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...

    Does EG4 inverter really communicate with 3rd Party Batteries?

    I've had my EG4 6500 for over a year, messed with it a little but never really happy with the way it works. For the first time in many months I went over to the cabin and messed around with it. I wanted to try to get the converter to communicate with my batteries but had no luck. When I first...

    EG4 6500 Blowing breaker

    I am running an EG4 6500 with 2 100ah batteries and 6 320w panels in an off-grid cabin. The only consistent load is a pond aerator that draws about 5A. I ran it last summer during the day with very few issues but this summer I want to keep the water cooler and I am trying to run it only at...

    Chargeverter wiring

    I was one of the first to get a Chargeverter having pre-ordered on the day it was announced. However as these things often go for me, I never got around to actually using it over the winter. I mounted it, wired it in everything except install bus bar and connect it to the batteries and...

    EG4 6500EX auto start generator

    I have installed an AutoStart module for my generator and using the dry contacts. I set option 12 and 13, setting the battery voltage to trigger the dry contact closed sort of high for my test at 51. The battery voltage was showing about around 51.5 so I turned on everything in the cabin I...

    EG4 6500 Generator Charging

    Finally made it to the point in my EG4 install where I hooked up the generator with the autostart module. My initial generator test a few days back showed about 22a charging with a clamp meter. Today my readings and the readings on the Inverter were all over the place mid day It was as high as...

    New EG4 6500 EX install

    Today was the day I finally swapped out the new EG4 for my POWMR which was driving me crazy. I am really impressed with how much more robust the EG 4 seems. I ran through a full set of tests, didn't have allot of sun today but enough to charge. This is a completely off-grid install at a cabin...

    EG4 6500EX Generator input

    I'm wondering how people have connected a generator or utility power to these inverters. I only see one Line, a N and a ground for the input..however, the manual talks about line 1 and line 2 (Black and Red). It made me wonder if they intended to connect the 2 separate hot lines from a PB 30...

    Neutral to Ground PV is Hot

    I have a PowMr 5k inverter charger in my system which has been up and running for a while in an off grid cabin. It seems to operate ok for the most part, I can power the cabin, startup generator to charge batteries if its cloudy for a couple days etc. One question I have been trying to resolve...

    Grounding Concerns

    Hello, I am running a PowMr 48v 5K Inverter, 2x48v 100ah Rack batteries and 6 x 320w 24v Renogy panels in an off grid cabin. 200a fuse on the battery, battery cutoff switch and 15a Breaker for the PV. Cabin was wired by previous owner. No ground rod was installed to the main lug QO panel...
