    Bonus points for 1 not reading the refund options, 2 being that guy and letting everyone know
  • Post in thread: EG4 48v 25a Battery Charger Update

    Not sure what's going on but I received an email from you guys today. This line popped out at me. Is this a store credit or an actual refund going forward? "We would like to offer a credit to your customer account for the difference in price + $50.00 for the inconvenience."
  • Post in thread: Idea to safely charge inverter capacitors

    I built this for my small 48V system after having my Growatt disconnected for a couple of hours and forgot the precharge. Still can't find my cat ? https://diysolarforum.com/resources/inverter-disconnect-switch-with-precharge.60/

  • Post in thread: My Growatt has been switching between 50hz on battery and 60hz grid for months - what devices have I ruined or potential damages?

    Off grid system , and it was set to 60hz Reset twice before. Unless US intermittently switches to 50hz while I’m charging.
  • Post in thread: The vaccinated are more likely to catch Covid

    Do you, loved ones, or family take yearly flu shots? Same difference, maybe it’s the speed that this new Covid reality washed over the earth. i just got my booster and flu shot, went on with my day no drama. Talking about immunosuppressed people like they are just now dealing with medical...
  • Post in thread: Safety hazard w/ Growatt 5000ES (European version) when connected to American grid

    I started to watch Will’s video but it was pulled just as I started watching. Ian has posted a detailed eye opener part 2 video today.

    Thanks, I get it, cheap is better. Plus the “retro look” industrial design. They look and feel like something out of an old SciFi movie. Most don’t need harsh environment rated batteries.
  • Post in thread: A Strange Issue that occurred on my Ecoflow Delta Pro and the 10 second fix.

    This fix is in the faq section of the app. I found it by accident when my pro and extra battery stopped staying in sync chargewise. Took 2 complete cycles. I use 80 to 20% in normal operation.
  • Post in thread: EG4 48v 25a Battery Charger Update

    I purchased my 25 amp charger early November 2021. It was an 17 amp charger from the beginning. Glad the company is stepping up, I'm going to keep mine, probably won't even deal with getting a partial refund. All this depends on the warranty situation for those who choose to keep them. It sounds...
  • Post in thread: Safe Grid Use of the 5000ES and transformer

    His brief comment in that video was, use an internal transformer all in one. Don’t use external solutions. Distributors, and some YouTube creators are realizing the liability box they have placed themselves in. Companies like Growatt have no business selling products, that can easily kill...
  • Post in thread: EcoFlow Delta Max 2000 Automobile Charge

    The XT60i car cable is wired to limit to 8 amps. Use existing or buy another solar cable to get the max input.

  • Post in thread: Schneider xw pro 6848 not powering up with eg4 lithium battery

    This Li-ion guide Appendix has different start up routines for Schneider approved batteries. Interesting info if you haven't read it. The minimum number of batteries to support inrush current vs battery sizes is interesting. Also have you tried removing data cables from your pack long shot but...

  • Post in thread: How do you do your own Structural Engineering report for roof mounted solar panels

    So many variables like location etc, to me the most important one after if your local and state agencies allow it, is what does your homeowners insurance company say?
  • Post in thread: LifePO4 16s 48v Daly Smart BMS won’t turn on…

    Do you have the low temperature sensor plugged in? BMS won’t turn on without it.
  • Post in thread: Bestgo battery

    New member, my Goal Zero Yeti 3000 gave up the electron ghost. i decided to build a small dual purpose home back up and RV system. Earlier this week I watched All Will’s videos about 48 volt systems. On his recommended page he had Bestgo batteries from Electric Car Company as a great buy. They...
  • Post in thread: Growatt 3000TL LVM-ES limit AC Input?

    Have you tried playing around with setting 2, also the battery not charging is controlled by setting 12. Set that the voltage you want the batteries to start charging in line mode.
  • Post in thread: Bestgo battery

    Im confused, are you saying contact him? Didn’t think he answered individual inquiries.
  • Post in thread: Just got Ecoflow Delta PRO, can I use external LiFePO4 batteries to add capacity??

    The YouTube videos I’ve seen used scooter batteries or DIY 18650’s. Has anyone connected a LiPo4 48 volt 100AH battery like this? if I do this with my Delta Pro I’m going to use a 10 amp fuse in case it doesn’t go as planned. Even though the fuse likely wouldn’t blow quick enough to protect...
