For sale, a never used Signature Solar Server Rack for their EG4 line up servers, or any other server rack mounted batteries like SOK, etc. I paid $500 + shipping / Willing to let it go for $150 OBO. Local pickup only (Southeast Valley - Phoenix Arizona) I no longer need the rack as I made a...

Thanks @jberger Any options if you don’t have a PC?

Greetings DIY'ers, Does anyone know how to set the date and time on the EG4-LL batteries from Signature Solar? See photo below... I assume this can be done through the PC software, only problem is, I only have a Mac laptop... I can't seem to find a way to do it directly through the screen...

As it turns out, I am already doing this, but I am still not able to charge the batteries using 120V AC Input from utility to produce a 240V AC Output from the overall battery bank system. I'm not sure this is even possible. Perhaps you have to have 240V going in to get 240V coming out? Also...

Thanks @Will Prowse - much appreciated!

@Will Prowse - would you be willing to comment on this post? Thanks! Jm

Greetings… Using an LV6048 with EG4-LL 48v batteries, Can I charge the batteries using 120v with utility using AC input, but output 240v through the AC Output ports with power from the batteries/utility? If so, does anyone know the settings? I’ve tried just about every combination in the...

Hello @SolarBro - thanks for this photo, this helped me a lot with figuring out my challenge. While trying to charge my Electric Vehicle completely off grid (shut off via a relay switch to avoid utility bypass) - no shore power, the car charger gives a ground fault. see attachment. However...

This is correct. Once battery bank reaches proper state of charge from the grid (a set time of day) the timer will disengage the inverter from the grid, no longer charging the battery bank, and once I charge the car, the batteries will deplete (to a set voltage programmed in) stopping the car...

Thanks for the reply!!

The reason I ask is that the inverter would be considered 50a as resistive. So this might create challenges.

Hey @timselectric - I got to thinking, I already have this device for my pool pump and it works great. it is rated 240V @ 40A - do you think this would work for this application as well? I would like to use this device versus the Intermatic...

@timselectric - with reference to this wiring diagram for the relay timer, it looks as though only L1 and L2 are controlled by the relay. Which makes sense based on your comment of only controlling the hot leads. So, do you just wire the N and Ground direct to the inverter from the breaker...

Thanks... It is set to come in on Monday. Once I get the batteries and the Inverter installed (late July) - I'll be sure to post an update. Any other information you can think of, please let me know... Appreciate the wisdom on the forum!

do you think this device would work if I wanted to control ir Do you think this device would work if I wanted to control it from my iPhone: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VS7SRHN/ Thanks for your advice!
