I missed this message. So I think that may be part of my issue currently, I was not aware of a bond issue with this inverter. So I got the cable in, tried it, and it caused my EVSE to through a GFI error still.

I want to use the EVSE from the grid to power the batteries during specific hours where it costs less to do so. The program utilizes the chargers internal reporting for the amount of power used to charge a battery powered device. In order for the EVSE to begin charging it needs a J1772 adapter...

You make a fair point. Lol

I appreciate that. I ordered a cable from them to try. Looks like the SUSUTOO adapter I was using maxed at 15 amps, and the inverter pulls a minimum of 15 amps, so it was popping things angrily. Should have the new cable in the mail in the next couple of weeks and can update when it comes in...

I can take some photos in the morning to send directly. Currently it’s not a very… safe setup. 😅

Yes it is.

Definitely fascinating from what I’ve read so far. Does the chargeverter have any method that you know of for connecting a j1772 connection to it? The plug I posted should only be capable of 3.5kw, and if I could have something that would pass through the full amount that the chargeverter can...

Not a dumb question, and one I expected to come up a few times. The cheaper rates are only available through the EVSE. The plan would be to charge the batteries via the EVSE on days when I don’t get any sun if I need it.

It has a potentiometer that doesn’t seem to work for the life of it. I adjusted it as low as it could go though.

That certainly looks promising. A bit pricey, but could be a good option for sure.

All right, so I’ve got a dumb thing I’m trying to do, and trying to not blow things up in the process. Current setup: Sigineer 15kw 48V Inverter...

I really appreciate the info. Do you mind if I ask how much it's costing for the engineered plans through them?

Do you mind if we ask how much the plans with the engineer cost?

Yeah, I'm trying my best to be as nice with them as possible and so far it seems they still like me. Unfortunately they're not very forthcoming with information albeit direct questions about what exactly they're wanting.
