    RESOLVED: EG4 6500EX and 6000EX Lights Flickering FIRMWARE

    You mean like...off grid, like this person? Posted 2 days ago. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/resolved-eg4-6500ex-and-6000ex-lights-flickering-firmware.54956/post-966992 here is another off grid...

    RESOLVED: EG4 6500EX and 6000EX Lights Flickering FIRMWARE

    Really, bulbs are the issue and not the EG46500EX? From the guy that, after replacing two 6500EXs with Victron Multiplus-II inverters, posts a video in which he states that "99% of my flickering light issues have been resolved since I put these inverters in". Faulting bulb quality or washing...

    Two EG4 6500 EX-48 to two A510C Pro/Tran 2 Transfer Switches

    That is how my 2nd load panel set up in the house. I also have another 310TS from the first load panel in the garage at the inverter. 1st load panel powers 2nd load panel....

    Random power outage EG4 6500 split phase

    Pretty much but figured out a work around. The problem I have here: When my system is <99% SOC and there are intermittent clouds, the system will F80 on 2P1 when loads are >25-30A. But, when at 99% SOC it will not F80 when a cloud crosses the sun. Neither will it F80 when the skies are clear at...

    EG4 Lifepower4 48V Top Balancing Firmware.

    The only issue I had when updating this weekend was, I had to restart the program once for two of the 6 packs. Otherwise, all went well. I did it the way @Markus_SignatureSolar explained. Fabricated a cable as shown in the video by @Zapper77. The packs all reflect the same "Full Bat Cap" of...

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    and I am thankful everyone who participated. Why was I checking/asking of parameters, I'm glad you asked. Because Tier 2 sent me "the proper parameters for those batteries", because "once these changes are made then you will see some normality in the batteries." "I see one of them that...

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    I have watched many of them. Just so anyone reading this thread understands: This was not about balancing the packs or the cells. It was about determining what causes the same 4 cells of 96 to not ever have the BMS report a charge beyond 3.3X volts for the past 5 months. Too bad I didn't save...

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    Assuming your post was directed at me. Took them to 0% SOC on 071123 and back to full. Below screen shots: Took to 0% SOC on 071123, another after full charge on a SS charger yesterday, and this morning after sitting all night. The four cells still are not charging over 3.3 or are reported...

    every time I cycle the batteries the date and time resets to 2020. So now I have to reset it again. Also, this is a screen shot after the batteries were charged to 100% SOC with the SS charger. Today, right now....

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    I keep it at 55.6 bulk and 54.6 float. But, over the past few weeks I have been playing with those to try and get those 4 cells to charge. Then I noticed pack 6 kept having OV trips while the other packs had no issue at 56.7V. Time? I don't know. whatever the manufacturer's setting is. I know...

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    Is it possible that packs 1/2/3 stop balancing as seen in the screenshot because the Max Diff is <.01V, but packs 4/5/6 keep trying because the cells that won't go beyond 3.3v which keeps the Max Diff average over the BMS cut-off?

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    Doesn't the attached screenshots show there was no OV shutdown and that the bms is still charging/balancing, but those 4 same cells stopped at 3.3V? It has been over 5 months and those same 4 cells never go beyond 3.3V. Only 6 at a time, correct. As seen in all the screenshots. I'll add one at...

    Is this the cause of 4 cells not charging beyond 3.3V?

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    Really would like SigSolar or EG4 to chime in on this since it seems the Tier 2 Tech stopped responding to emails until I change alarm and protection cell and module voltage parameter settings and collect more data. @BraydenFromEG4 @SignatureSolarJames

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    The imbalance exists ONLY because of the cells that do not charge beyond 3.3V nor balance. As can be seen in the screenshot from yesterday, packs 4/5/6 never stop trying to balance while the other packs are done and equalized. Is it because the BMS sees in those packs that the Max Diff(V) is...

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    I believe it was, the BMS Test software says "Cell OV Protection" in the protection status line rather than Module OV Protection.

    No. Don't believe version is problem since Pack 3 is just fine.

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    No. The Tier 2 Tech wants me to lower them, but I have not yet done so. It seems to me that doing so would only make pack 6 trip alarm and protection sooner.

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    This isn't about how all cells perform balancing. It is about the cells outlined in red that "STOP" charging at 3.3V, never reach the set bulk or float voltages, and "NEVER" balance. All other cells that are not outlined in red will charge and balance to within/under .01V of each other to bulk...

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    Didn't tell me to grid charge. Packs 3/4/5/6 were purchased at same time and placed in service in November 2022; packs 1/2 purchased together and placed in service in January 2023. All were charged fully January when placing in service together. Reasons why should be explained when Tier 2...

    EG4 Lifepower4 Cell Voltage, Temperature, Overvoltage Questions

    Question: Why are three of six EG4 LFP4 batteries doing what they do? What action can alleviate the anomalies or is everything normal as Tier 2 explains? Packs 4/5/6 are behaving differently than the other three in that they have cells that do not charge beyond 3.3V. Pack 6 also has much lower...

    RESOLVED: EG4 6500EX and 6000EX Lights Flickering FIRMWARE

    You don’t need to turn it off if you haven’t connected it to your internet. To disconnect I just do the Wi-Fi config again and put a BS password for my internet, the inverter fails to connect and I exit the app. Do that for each inverter you have. Log in to the app to be sure you got it to...

    RESOLVED: EG4 6500EX and 6000EX Lights Flickering FIRMWARE

    No, I have not. I believe they are pushing the manufacturer's crap monitor for imaginative reasons. I don't believe that data is safe or inaccessible from SigSolar or the manufacturer on their server. Access also allows changes to be made to the inverters. There is a reason why it's free...

    My old 05/2022 inverters were doing this, the replacement inverters do not. Do yours also have something like these occurring?
