They gonna kick OP off that plan in 2 months. Pretty expensive lesson to learn here.

I can confirm it has to be 2.4Ghz

Jim, did you know you can connect to the dongle with bluetooth in the mean time? You can see a lot more than on the display and make all needed changes.

When I was young and dumb I had a brushed ebike motor. On a couple different examples of my stupidity, I reverse connected the battery and blew the controller for the motor. I learned that I could use a light switch to turn on the motor so that's what I did. 15- 20 amps at 36 volts. It was...

thousands of years and we still cant stop the frequency from shifting every 3 days or so...... Where is my hammer!!

They must have sold you the one I sent them back! lol Edit: never mind Mine only clocked in at 22.64 amps. I found my email chain. haha

What a helpful kitty!

I had the renogy Core, It was listed to work perfect with my 3000 watt renogy inverter. It didnt even show up. EVER Customer service said it was defective so I replace the Core. The next one was the same.... My inverter was listed as supported but it WASNT Yeah pfuck Renogy.

My situation is 8 commercial pre built pouch 50ah 48v batteries in parallel with 1 48v 280k set. I have a victron shunt on each set and the results are interesting. I can tell the discharge curves are different. And I can see that it normalizes after every hard charge or discharge

Well, folks, we got 21 replies and not a single OP response over 5 hours.

Yes, noted a 3 or so second time gap. Solar assistant does a MUCH better job than the EG4 software for updating the data. Thanks for your input.

Just watched that video. Holy hell. Yeah, Im with ya, we dont need to import our f -ing light bulbs.

So are we really saying that a previously happy and functioning cell just randomly, without abnormal load, shorted itself to an ohm value low enough to raise temp and vent? and after this, the parallel strings fed into this shorted cell and blew the fuse causing a spark? Im as interested as...

Terminals is by far my vote. As long as you snug them, fondle them , snug them, fondle them, snug them, yank them a couple times and later get them all sorts of hot and then snug them again. Yes, Im serious.

ALL inverters will consume power. During the day they will be stealing it from your solar panels. During the night the will steal it from your batteries. You can leave it on all the time if you have enough solar and batteries.... You may or may not. You would need to find out.

We will keep a warm chair here for you. Most of us here like helping people.

I would keep it under 12 amps and use it. The real consideration in my OPINION is the difference between AC and DCs arc potential at specific voltages. Make sure and educate yourself on why this specific scenario may work and find out what wouldnt work. Knowledge is power.

I hate them so much!!!!

I have the new EG4 6000XP and am FORCED to use lead acid settings without an option for absorb time. It IS a problem. I am all ears. Thank you for your efforts here.

I dont claim to be an expert but I dont believe there is a whole lot of energy between 3.05 and 2.5. This may be only a couple amps. If these batteries are +/- .005 at 3.45 then they are mostly balanced. My cells have a .035 separation at 3.65 and I am not concerned about it because again...

This is correct. You sort of seem like you are afraid of dumping current into a battery that doesnt have a noticeable effect on voltage. While this is a valid concern in a lot of areas of life, it is not a concern when the goal is charging a battery. It means its hungry. What Wattmatters said...

I diy so I dont get involved with a paper weight because 1 cell decided to kill his friends like that one unfortunate person here recently.

Same here. 6000xp charges batteries at 50-60 watts when no solar available and on grid bypass.

This could be what your problem is. If you constantly charge to 80% and never hit 100 it will certainly confuse the BMS and the % numbers would be pretty worthless and would drift.

This would be the ideal situation. I have used the Victron 150/60 for 3 years. LOVED it. Yes, it started at 60v. Tho the only problem I had was it doesnt log data more than the basics without using VRM which is an additional $300 purchase to get to where the AIOs already include. I paid...

I cry about this every day. Bigly and yuuuge!!

Hi, I live in a 930 sq ft home. I have a 6000xp. I have 4000 watts of PV and 34 kWh of battery. I run everything except my clothes dryer (it could, but it would max the 6000xp) and my water heater ( doable, but would be more solar than I care to spend in air conditioner season. I bet I use a...

Come on man! You know? THE thing!!

Renogy does!

So happy for you!! And it wasn't user error :)

This is common knowledge for lithium cobalt. These are the cells in power tool batteries and laptops. Fires have happened, tho with how many power tool batteries are out there and the ABUSE they get it seems like its pretty unlikely beyond physical damage that they light up. They can also get...

Thanks! Thats the vid I referenced when I put mine together!

I have thought about this before and decided NOT TO DO IT. Far too much risk with an unprotected cell. Even if you paired a single 304 ah battery in series with a 100Ah 15s pack, I STILL wouldnt do it.

Why dont you just build a 15s pack and add it to your 15s battery?

Its the saws fault.....

That is so awesome! THAT makes me want rack batteries.

They seem very nice. I routinely get 6200 out of 6660 watts on them. Much better percentage than my 4 year old renogy panels.

I want a 29,000 Sq ft house too!! Thanks for taking the time to write this up. You outlined a bunch of cool ideas!

For sure! She wouldnt let you leave hungry.

That is a good clue. The cloud blinking means it may be a server problem. That would be EG4s problem i think. Solid first light means it can see wifi and is connected to wifi I do suppose however this may mean that it is connected to wifi but doesnt see internet. The EG4 app gets its info from...

Its your dryer not line balancing this. The heating element is on both legs. The motor is on one. I see the EXACT same thing on my emporia Vue using grid power.

Make sure its flat after drilling. Burrs be very bad for your health.

JK all the way. I have 3

This doesnt look good. not terrible, but wtf did they send you. The only thing that would make sense here is all 4 packs have been used 3 years and rarely got to balance voltage. This is not the case right? EG4_Jared look at those deltas.

Is great! I think most of us here use it.

It is kinda off but there is A LOT of energy between 3.40 and 3.49 That simply means that you might have a ways to go if most cells are at 3.45 and some hit 3.65. Cycling will fix this, but the best thing to do is hold the cells at just under protection activation voltage. The balancer is...

Most likely that dryer will be close to 100% of the eg4s output on battery, 6000 watts. It may run it but nothing else at the same time on battery. The pass thru rated at 50 amps with the dryer running would leave you 6000 watts if split evenly on L1 and L2 for other things.

I wanna see the spicy pillows!

That is the name of the game :)

I agree with everything non jungle Tim said. It will indeed perform fine.
