    6000XP line balance?

    The equipment doesn't balance the lines, YOU do. You need to wire your system such that the draw of your equipment is balanced. Balancing isn't a function of the inverter, it's a function of the installer.

    EG4 3kW Max Charging Voltage?

    I received @10kW of 16s LiNMC batteries which would take a max voltage of 67.2v (4.2v per cell). I don't want to run them up to 100% capacity, but I'd like to get the most in them as possible. Reading the literature, it seems the max bulk voltage is 62v, which would be 3.875 per cell, but the...

    Help planning array for Eg4 6500ex

    I have a shed I want to eventually install 2 6500ex's in. It's a slant roof with 2 faces that are 143"x56". I'm hoping to find panels that will fit and meet the specs for the 6500ex's mppt. I believe their minimum voltage is 90v. I found some 200w newpowa panels that I can fit 10 of total...

    Mppt for 60v lithium battery?

    Crap, I did not notice that, I've been thumbing through so many things trying to find something that would work. So no, I'm in the US.

    Mppt for 60v lithium battery?

    Thanks. Victron only lists their MPPT for up to 48v batteries in the documentation. If you have one, would you be able to tell me what the max voltage you can set each charge mode to? If they work, I might be able to go with the easysolar 2, it's got a 250/100 mppt built in...

    Mppt for 60v lithium battery?

    I acquired 4 8s 50ah lithium batteries for free, and was hoping to run them 2s2p which would give me 59.2v nominal, 67.2v max. I couldn't find an all-in-one that would work with them, which was my hope. So now I'm trying to see if I can put together a diy friendly system that can use them, and...

    8s Lifepo4 BMS on Li-ion Cells?

    The other issue is the total voltage. My goal is to get a 48v inverter, but their input seems to be limited to less than the full voltage on a 3.7 based 16s battery. 3rd issue is I can't find these batteries, at all. I tried googling international rectifier, infineon, the model number...

    8s Lifepo4 BMS on Li-ion Cells?

    Haven't decided on which all-in-one I'll use, but could I theoretically set it to protect the low voltage aspect? Probably get a few daly bms's. On the flip side, is there an all-in-one that would accept near the full voltage from these batteries? I'd run 2s2p as independent units.

    8s Lifepo4 BMS on Li-ion Cells?

    I received 4 of these batteries for free and I'm hoping to use them as the start to a solar generator. They're 8s li-ion batteries, epoxied into these enclosures. I can't break them down without destroying the plastic, since they're siliconed together. Is there a difference, other than cut off...
