Positive value should be charging and negative should be discharged I think they are just using the incorrect values displayed to the userIn this case negative battery means charging, and positive battery would mean discharging.
Are you saying you feel that way or it says it should be that way in the manual?Positive value should be charging and negative should be discharged I think they are just using the incorrect values displayed to the user
Yeah, this makes no sense. Since there's no output, all numbers should be positive. @Zapper77 any ideas?Looks like EG4 monitoring website & app has the battery value the same as the PV value but the battery charge value is showing a negative number on the graph. A single 6000XP is only being used as a solar charger right now. no input or Output A/C wires are connected.

This helps clarify what it's doing. I wasn't thinking from the inverter standpoint. Thanks!Picture that the graph is formed from the point of view of the inverter, not the battery. To the inverter the battery is either an input or an output. Then, it makes sense that charging is an output. The power is coming in from solar and going out to the battery.
I think it should be from the battery stand point. But that won't work because the inverter can operate without batteries. So having the numbers displayed from the inverters point of view is the only logical solution.This helps clarify what it's doing. I wasn't thinking from the inverter standpoint. Thanks!
Yeah. You would have to look at each stat as it's own "component" instead of it being a part of the inverter as a whole, then Positive values would be input and Negative values output. PV data would always be positive and consumption would always be negative. Battery and grid could be positive or negative (grid would only be positive for 6kxp but 18kpv could be both).I think it should be from the battery stand point.

should be this was. Solar Assistant, Growatt and Victron all have the correct value. also, the value is the PV power and not the power from the battery's BMS. It's just logic that they need to change so is using a battery BMS to use that value.Are you saying you feel that way or it says it should be that way in the manual?

Why do you disagree?Agree to disagree.
Because battery charging is a load, an output, and therefore negative in my mind.Why do you disagree?
