    6 EG4 rack batteries SOC issue

    I was not aware of the issue of generators damaging my Sol-Ark because of dirty power. I have a 5500 watt Troy bilt 120/240vac generator that has been converted to propane. I think it damaged my well pump years ago during a long power outage. If I ever need it, I'll have another way to charge my...

    6 EG4 rack batteries SOC issue

    Thanks I think it was set at 56.5 before I started trying to figure out why the SOC was slowly going down over a four month period. So should I reduce my charge voltage down from 57.5?

    6 EG4 rack batteries SOC issue

    Ok, I still have a problem. Rack battery #2 refuses to charge up to where the other 5 are It's setting in the 40% SOC now and the other 5 are 90% + SOC I need to get Signature Solar to have a look at my system.

    6 EG4 rack batteries SOC issue

    Before updated the EG4 communications hub, my version was 1.5 After the firmware update, it shows as 1.10 This seems weird that the versions would go down? I see in Zapper's video, he got the same results He went from 1.6 to 1.10 So, was my previous version actually 1.05 Just curious about...

    I have a Sol-Ark 15k and 6 - EG4 rack batteries. I also have 6 - 400 watt Bi-Facial solar panels that charge during the day I have the Sol-Ark setup so that it only charges from the grid between 1am and 6am That's the cheapest rate for Duke power on the flex program My system has been running...
