    EG4 Indoor 280Ah 48v WallMount Battery

    I apologize for the confusion. The Ethernet cable pins 3 and 6 should be connected to the open battery communication port of the master battery to NO. I will contact our technical writing team to look at improving this section of our manuals and reference sheets.

    Eg4 6500ex grid charge

    It would enable you to verify that only one neutral-ground bond is present in the system.

    Eg4 6500ex grid charge

    Also, if the 6500 is on the latest firmware of 79.71, you should have a setting 42 which can enable/disable the neutral-ground bond.

    EG4 LLS rack with EG4-WallMount Indoor

    The optimal approach would involve setting up three battery banks: one featuring the 280Ah Wallmount and the other two comprising three 100Ah server racks each. Subsequently, you should parallel them to an external bus. They will be compatible with the LL models but not with the LifePower4...

    EG4 LLS rack with EG4-WallMount Indoor

    I would recommend using an external bus bar to parallel these batteries together. Also, it would be recommended to have one Wallmount for every 3 server rack batteries.

    Sudden drop to 0% in SOC with EG4 6500Ex + EG4 LLv2

    It would be interesting to see if this issue reoccurred while set to user-defined for the battery charge and discharge. With the batteries not utilizing the 80% depth of discharge, it seems like the percentage reading needs to be calibrated through a deep cycle process.

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    I will be looking into this; do you have a straight through ethernet cable to try for the BMS communication cable to the inverter?

    EG4 18k input voltage range

    Feel free to DM the serial number for the inverter and I can look into this.

    EG4 18kpv Questions

    With one inverter, if the max output amperage was exceeded, the inverter would switch to bypass only until it is below max amperage output.

    EG4 18kPV and EG Propower Wall Connection Issues - BMS?

    Would you be able to change the inverter to lead-acid to see if this would allow for the inverter to function properly?

    EG4 18k input voltage range

    I don't believe the grid connect settings are available to the end user.
  19. EG4_Jared

    EG4 18k input voltage range

    If the voltage of the AC input falls below 220v or goes above 252v, the inverter would initiate AC bypass and would not charge batteries with the grid. In some cases, this can be adjusted to match the grid profile and range.

    6000XP Single unit vs add second

    To maximize the MPPT with a single inverter, you could configure a 7s2p setup, which would result in 327.6VDC and 19.18A. This configuration would enable 4,970W per MPPT, slightly exceeding the usable wattage of 4,000W per MPPT, while remaining well under the 480V maximum input.

    EG4 6000XP Programming

    Given that this inverter lacks a battery backup mode, the desired setup may be challenging. Nonetheless, it might be possible by adjusting the on-grid discharge to 90%, which is its maximum limit, or by setting the voltage according to the battery's bulk charge specifications on this setting...

    EG4 3kW Off-Grid Inverter | 3000EHV-48

    You wouldn't need both unless you desired redundancy and if your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requires it. I generally recommend a PV isolator such as the IMO Disconnect, which accommodates wiring for two strings into the disconnect, unless code compliance for your local AHJ...

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    With Lithium Brand 1 and the WallMount set to CAN EG4/LUX on Z02T17 or newer, you should expect to see the following information on the monitoring system.

    6000XP won't talk to EG4-LL

    The firmware would be found here: https://eg4electronics.com/categories/batteries/eg4-ll-48v-100ah-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery Inside the file, there is a distinction between the 4-dip switch and 6-dip switch version. Also, DIYPV is correct. With setting 11 set properly, the only draw on the...

    EG4 6500EX - Single PV or both PV's

    When comparing single PV input (PV1) versus both PV inputs (PV1 and PV2), each option has its advantages and drawbacks. Using a single input simplifies installation and reduces costs but limits total power output. On the other hand, employing both inputs increases total power capacity and...

    6000xp Knockouts

    I would refer you to page 5 of the conduit box for the wallmount batteries since they have the dimensions and drawings for the 6000XP. Link to conduit box manual: https://eg4electronics.com/backend/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/EG4%C2%AE-280Ah-WallMount-Indoor-Conduit-Box.pdf

    EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

    I would recommend changing the RS485 protocol to a different protocol and having the CAN set to EG4/LUX. This would ensure that CAN protocol is being used while having BMS communication with your inverter. With CAN EG4/LUX, I would set the Lithium Brand to "1." This will give you additional...

    (updated) Signature Solar 48v Chargeverter

    BMS communication enables the sharing of battery information with the selected inverter/charger, such as the battery's state of charge, error codes to halt discharging and charging, and for certain battery models, the capability for rapid shutdown.

    Weird issue with 6000XP 🤷‍♂️

    Would you be able to try and remove the ComHub from the system and see if this allows you to charge the bank to a higher voltage? If this works, I would recommend updating the firmware on the communication hub.
