    Adding new server rack lifepo4 battery to older server rack lifepo4.. drift issues

    I've been using my older 24v Eg4 (GYLL) battery for about a year and a half now and decided to get a second. Of course the newer EG4 lifepower4 version doesn't communicate with the older GYLL. So I'm having issues with different rates of SOC on both the charge and discharge cycle. I know that...

    Growatt SPF 3000TL LVM not ever reaching float

    A couple things we need to know: 1. How are your panels wired? 2. How is your battery wired and what BMS are you using? 3. Are you running any loads while charging? Some likely issues: - not enough Solar power - BMS or batteries faulty (but 8 think it's more the solar output is too low)

    Using Solar Assistant to read multiple batteries of different types

    Has anyone been able to achieve this? Or is there anyone in the Beta team who can share information on whether there are plans to have SA read multiple batteries with differing BMSs. I have an old GYLL battery and a new EG4 lifepower, they use different protocols so I can't read them...

    Battery cycles in bank of 4 accruing un evenly

    Why do u have the batteries wired in pairs? Why not have Equal length wires going to the bus bar from each battery?

    DC USB power supply for Solar-Assistant

    I found one on Amazon that's a 12/24v to 5v adapter with microusb connector on Amazon

    Solar assistant reading battery capacity incorrectly

    Yes, it's reflected as 100ah in SA but on the EG4 software it states 200AH

    Solar assistant reading battery capacity incorrectly

    I've reached out to SA via email but I've not received a response in more than 2 days. Does anyone know if the application is still supported? My issue is that I have always used SA to read my first gen GYLL battery without any issues. Recently I purchased the EG4 lifepower battery and added to...
