    EG4 6000xp Neutral and ground showing 40volts

    Odd, i don't see that option in the EG4 Monitoring Web Page for my 6000XP. Is there something I need to enable to see that?

    EG4 6000xp Neutral and ground showing 40volts

    Where in the settings for the inverter can you enable the ground neutral bond? I haven't seen this setting anywhere in the app. Is it somewhere on the menu?

    Eg4 18kpv wifi dongle not connecting

    I think you're right. What a mess! The manual should explicitly state that, or even better there should be a setting for battery communication On/Off, it shouldn't require selecting Lithium as the type to require communication. EG4 needs to work on their documentation and setup flow, this is...

    Eg4 18kpv wifi dongle not connecting

    Ok, looks like my network was blocking outgoing requests to China. I made an exception for this device and now I can get to the settings. Stil 10.10.10.1 never loaded. The wifi setup process is pretty bad and could use some improvement. There seems to be no communication to indicate what...

    Eg4 18kpv wifi dongle not connecting

    I have again powered on the 6000XP with the dongle installed. Connected to the SSID which is the serial of the dongle. After I've connected I go to 10.10.10.1 in a browser but it never loads, always "connection refused". If I look in my network settings I can see that 10.10.10.1 is the gateway...

    That's exactly what I did before...I'll try it again thanks

    Yes, connected to the dongles hotspot network, same SSID as the serial. What's the next step? I initially used the EG4 monitoring app to try and set it

    Eg4 18kpv wifi dongle not connecting

    I have tried these steps, when I connect to the SSID of the device and go to 10.10.10.1 in my browser nothing loads. I've tried on multiple computers and phones

    Eg4 18kpv wifi dongle not connecting

    Can you share how to "reset the dongle"? I can't get mine to connect and when I connect to the SSID and go to 10.10.10.1 nothing loads. I've tried on multiple different devices and browsers. I have to say for a first time experience with EG4 this is pretty bad. I've tried setting it on my phone...

    Issues balancing with Batrium BMS

    Well after a couple days getting a full charge and no intervention on my part the cells are more in balance. I think I'm going to do absolutely nothing here. Putting in an active balance will be a pain in the ass since I'll need to get to all the cells, so I'm just gonna say a 30-40mV cell...

    Issues balancing with Batrium BMS

    But it causes my OCD to be aggravated when my cells aren't all exactly at the same values!!!

    Issues balancing with Batrium BMS

    I collect all my cell values, I don't see them spiking in that same way. And this only happens after a long period without a full charge and seems to eventually level out. So high IR would be my guess. I've been meaning to get one of those IR meters...maybe now is the time! Does any of this...

    Issues balancing with Batrium BMS

    I do a fixed absorption time. 9-mo out of the year it's sunny here and I'll leave it at 1-hr. But after a weeks of cloudy days I set it to 3-hours so it had enough time to balance while the cells were at a higher voltage.

    Issues balancing with Batrium BMS

    The weird saga continues. After about 3-weeks without a full charge staying between 30-60% we finally got some sun and I got a full charge. When I hit absorption I had a few cells spike way up. Then after a while they settled and are now the low cells. I don't get why this happens. It's probably...
