My electrician and I installed the EG4 6000xp and 8 400 watt solar panels and were trying to get the inverter to communicate with the 2 5.12KW Sungold batteries (my first mistake). It wouldn't work and so I called EG4 support. I did manage to get the dongle to work so the EG4 support guy could do in and see what was happening. EG4 was very helpful, he told me there have been problems with Sungold and I should just register them as a lead acid battery.
I had them hooked up so they would work in parallel, with one being the master and the other the slave, but it didn't work. I keep getting a 'battery voltage low' warning and wonder if I should change the setup on the batteries. Should I just get a bus bar and run both batteries to the bus bar or what? Since the batteries are not being recognized by the inverter I don't know why I would be hooking the one up to the other and not both to the bus bar?
