This makes sense and I think this is what I'll do. Thanks to everyone for the replies.

So....going back to my main question...am I safe with my current setup of 7 eg4 batteries and an LG6548? no added fuses.

I have a few EG4 batteries and an LV6548 all in one. The batteries come with a built in circuit breaker/fuse and I'm pretty sure I read the LV6548 has built in fuses. They all connect to the same bus bars. Do i need a T Class fuse for each battery too? Do I not need any more fuses? Am I safe or...

I added 3 batteries about a year after i got my first 3. There is no noticeable difference that I can see. I'm sure more time will add to that, but I think worst case is that you have some that charge up quicker and you'll lose a little bit of the capacity as those will discharge into the weaker...

All great info guys. Thanks for clearing this up. With all the inverters out, it was pretty hard to see why the 6000ex is not the go to seeing as it does 240v. Nobody mentions this 3000 watt limitation per leg and if you want to wire up your house or a cabin, you have to be careful with 3000...

One thing that I found interesting is that the manual for the 6000ex calls for 10awg wire for the AC output wires. Got me thinking there was no way it supported 6k watts on a 10awg.

The EG4 6000EX runs 240 volts on two legs. Does it max out at 3000 on each leg? If I have a sub panel and one leg goes to one side, the other leg to the other side...what happens if one side of the panel (through a few breakers) wants to draw for example 4000 watts?

My 6000EX puts out 49-50v DC on those inputs.

Thanks!!

I guess my main concern is that usually it's been my experience that Lithium likes to be slow charged at the higher voltages. I'm worried that doing the opposite could shorten lifespan of my batteries.

Thanks, but they're separate systems that share the battery bank.

Each battery has 4ft 2 awg cables going to a 300amp rated bus bar. Inverter 1 has 4ft cables too and inverter 2 has 5ft cables all 2 awg.

5 minutes max and usually it's like 30 amps and and sometimes hits a minute at 50amps

My poor memory says I have bulk set to 58v and float at 54v. Batteries are not getting warm as far as I can tell.

I have 6 of the EG4 48v batteries. They never are all at the same battery percentage according to the BMS software. No biggie, they're close enough and work great. I get all the rated power out of them. The issue is that when I charge them up, they don't reach 100% at the same time. One battery...
