I want support to connect to multiple Batteries My battery bank has 4pc EG4LL with LCD batteries and 2pc EG4 LIFEPOWER4 without LCD. I can connect to the EG4LL or the LIFEPOWER4 but not both at the same time. It would be great if we could pick multiple batteries on the configuration page.

Changed that, but still no luck.

I can not find the "easy:)" part! I get "access denied" Here are my edits, what am I missing? I edited /etc/pam.d/common-auth as described. modified shadow modified sshd_config

After using dd to put the solar assistant image onto the onboard mmc drive on the pi's board. I powered down the unit and removed the sd card. I cannot get the pi to boot using it's internal drive.

Thank-You Crowz I will give it a try.

Here is the reply that I got from Solar Assistant Support.

Can a Realtime Clock, be added to a Rasberry Pi that has Solar Assistant installed? My solar system is offline (no internet), After a power loss I need to remember to go to SA configuration page and reset the time. If I forget to do this then I may be overriding old data with new data and I...

Do this test with them daisy-chained, set all batteries dip switches to 2, then turn on each battery individually, and use Solar Assistant to connect to each individual battery. If this works then you know your daisy-chained communication cables are good.

I have this LifePOWER4 version of the EG4 batteries communicating with Solar Assistant, I connected multiple batteries just like your picture shows. I would guess your dip switch setting is not correct, remember after changing the dip switch, you need to power cycle the battery for the new dip...

Will the EG4 Inverter communicate with Solar Assistant? Why do you want battery to inverter communication? Solar Assistant can get more detailed info by communicating both with the Batteries and Inverter, than getting just the info that the Inverter collects from the battery (i.e. Battery Temp...

Are you running the Cotek 24V 3000W inverter off of the same "one EG4LL 48v battery"? My experience is, that you need a minimum of 2 or 3 of the EG4LL 48v batteries to start a high surge load. The battery BMS has short circuit and overload protection built-in, when it sees that high surge it...

Will you share the new firmware, please? Also, do you have a link to the driver for "Exar Corp (xr21v1410)". Thanks,

Can you use the dry contact built into the inverter? see attached.

This feature would be great on Off-Grid installations, Back-up generator would only have to be big enough to charge batteries (80A). Instead of powering all loads and charging batteries.

You are right, I did not consider that the current needs to flow through the transformer to trip the breaker. I edited my post above.
