    EG4-LL v1 BMS Communication “Float Stoped”

    Did you update to the latest firmware for that battery, is it the V1 [discontinued] or the V2? If V1, I have the same batteries, a firmware was released some time ago, I updated as I use them in a Schneider system. I keep my modules balanced by keeping float enabled, but changing voltage about...

    Home Assistant Integration - Schneider 6848 Pro with EG4-LL's [with display] V1 Batteries in Closed loop communication.

    I'm a little late to this thread, sorry about that. I will post all the information I have gathered so far. I want to make my HA config much more modular, however I am having a difficult time, as I have 3 MODBUS connections; I have a thread here...

    Schneider firmware really has issues

    The InsightFacility Gateway Firmware v1.18 is available to download again. Has anyone tried this again to see if the "bugs" have been worked out?

    Battery Hookup 280ah 17kw Modules Battery build (16s)

    I got tired of all the crap inverters out there. GroWatt 12k was beast, but had hardware issues, I tried EG4 6500's as well. The EG4's literaly blew up, so I went with Schneider XW Pro 4868 - Never had an issue since. I'm completely off grid, so therefore dependability is a must.

    Yes, these are supposed to be new never used CATL cells. From what I have seen, I do believe so as well. I was in the same boat, I’m glad I pulled the trigger to buy 4 of these. Fingers crossed that I do not run into no issues.

    Updated Photo's. I am waiting for parts to come in. When that happens the next photo's should contain heat shrink'd bus bars, tinned connections with installed DALY BMS [Temporary] Or, I wont get that far, time will tell!

    For me it is the mechanical abilty to secure these without a doubt. No Concern, period. No chaffing etc, rub through... loose connection etc..

    Battery Hookup 280ah 17kw Modules Battery build (16s)

    I will use a DALY 150 [US stock is avialable] for the time being, as I am torn between the Seplos BMS and the updated PC200: Pace BMS P16S200A Andy's Webiste: https://off-grid-garage.com/battery-management-systems-bms/

    I will tin plate them, I think Tin should be enough? Do you? I will only Tin plate the areas of contact as the remaning area's will have heat shrink on them.
