    Yes, i just read the manual and confirmed aux power from 8-60v Here is the manual. https://store-fhnch.mybigcommerce.com/content/RSHGWSN-W02W-G1-US/UM_Renogy%20ONE%20Core_A0.pdf

    So cool! I never knew such things existed! I just watched the promo
  • Post in thread: EVE 280ah problem with 1 battery only?

    Self discharges are INTERNAL shorts. They always convert your batteries energy into HEAT. Heat is bad mmmmK. If this were lithium cobalt chemistry I would tell you to get that cell out of your house.

    Thank you for all of this!

    Gotta keep that new edit button smell as long as possible.
  • Post in thread: Discover AES LiFePO4 Battery with one dead cell- Is it possible to repair?

    agreed, connection or BMS?
  • Post in thread: House burned down

    Because fire dept. Guy thinks that was the hottest spot. And that is usually where the fire originates. There is probably some truth to the location, tho, not necessarily the fuse.
  • Post in thread: 6000XP line balance?

    Seems normal to me.
  • Post in thread: EG4 18KW will not pull PV power

    No one is perfect or knows everything. When I take on an unfamiliar DIY I usually study it for at least a couple weeks. This is to get a good understanding of the project before way too much money is spent I especially take note of the manner in which other people accomplish the same thing. I...
  • Post in thread: How non-linear is battery life?

    What happened when they did? Just read 0 across terminals and fed thru string voltage at 3v less than typical? Or?
  • Post in thread: Adding/removing loads to match solar production levels

    Probably a sub panel with new wiring and outlets for all the things that you want powered. You would then connect that sub panel to and inverter/charger that would be hardwired to the main panel. This way you can just activate bypass mode on the inverter/charger when you dont have enough stored...

    Kindly name this presenter. Thanks
  • Post in thread: Lifepo4 voltage drop recently

    I'll keep that in mind ::cool:(y)
  • Post in thread: 6000XP Wiring and questions

    Of course! You would just need to wire solar circuits where you need them or cannibalize your breaker box and remove all the non heavy loads that you wish to power and put them in a xp powered breaker box. Make damn sure you get a new breaker box that can use the same breakers! :) I just wired...

    They sure do.
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000xp with JK Inverter BMS

    I am REALLY hoping that I am wrong. But I haven't found a way.
  • Post in thread: Efficent microwave?

    Yes on a 20 amp breaker
  • Post in thread: Did I damage (4) Battleborn batteries?

    The battery is not necessarily at 0, A proper designed battery like the BB would have a battery management system that would disconnect the battery at a specified cut off voltage. Also, the reason the battery cant go higher than 13.5 is also because of the battery management system. The...
  • Post in thread: Hawaii Condo Living

    Wild idea, but get a cooler and an ICE MAKER. You can run the icemaker when you want to, when you need to, and shut the damb inverter off. This makes sense to me with extremely limited solar. What does everyone think...
  • Post in thread: Connection over cable not possible JK BMS

    I have been using this BMS for 3 months and havent discovered this "big issue" What are you referring too?
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000 XP general questions

    I used 6 awg as well.

    I want graphs for both legs, 🦵
  • Post in thread: 6000 xp bad start

    why not get the ethernet dongle? why not set up a guest network? Why not set up an isolated network without internet? Put black tape over the leds.
  • Post in thread: Discover AES LiFePO4 Battery with one dead cell- Is it possible to repair?

    correct. most likely not compatible.
  • Post in thread: IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    THIS It seems to me that I would need over 5X the panels on a winters cloudy day than a on a typical sunny day in summer for the same output.
  • Post in thread: 6000XP AC (Grid) charge setting not behaving as expected?

    yes, only thing you can do is make sure the loads with charging are lower than 24 amps
  • Post in thread: House burned down

    For sure. Agreed
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000 Xp into Victron VRM using Raspberry Pi.

    Flexible enough to let people use Venus on a raspberry pi tho. That alone seems huge to me. Their VRM software is awesome. How do you think I can get my 6000xp Mppts and my victron SCC numbers into the same graph or different graphs with a sum total? I have been using the smart shunt to...
  • Post in thread: Eg4 6000xp off grid

    It is most likely not your current problem but I wouldnt use more than 3500 watts of that generator. Someone who knows more than me can tell you why. You must be talking about amp hours... There is NO reason the BMS would say 31 v with a 16s setup unless there was a major problem. We need to...
  • Post in thread: 6000XP AC (Grid) charge setting not behaving as expected?

    not sure what box you are talking about, but it sounds like a SOC state of charge control.
  • Post in thread: Edited: False alert.

    How do you know this is the shipping container with your battery?
  • Post in thread: Slotted, Phillips, star, square, Allen, Posi, Torx, WTH?

    Those should work pretty good tho? Yes?
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000xp manual is pretty lacking.... I could use some help.

    I don't know what you mean by station name. I named it Home. I doubt that is what you are looking for. Where would I find the station name?
  • Post in thread: How many solar panels for 6000xp

    Why would you use 2 6000xps for such low energy needs? That could be done with a 3000 watt $300 inverter, not a $3000 pair. Aside that point, 12 in series would be awfully close to the PV input limit. I have 240v DC going into my 6000xp. Works just fine. Your thought of using 222V would be...
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000xp with JK Inverter BMS

    Yes but not simultaneously. Actually I can get my jk bms SOC , my shunt SOC, and the 600xp SOC into Solar assistant. But only one. and SA can not automate on anything other than time for the 6000xp.
  • Post in thread: wzrelb pure sine wave 5000w 24v power inverte

    No, first panel negative to charge controller, first panel positive to negative of second panel, positive of second panel to charge controller.
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kpv quick charge not working

    The only think that stands out to me is that it looks like you have it set to lead acid? Are you using lead acid? Can your battery take 250 amps? Can you grid panel dish out 60 amps at 240?

    I bought one of these, Just putting it together now, It took 35 days

    hmm
  • Post in thread: Help balancing 16 cells

    This is the most reasonable answer to your problem. OP
  • Post in thread: EG4 6000xp with JK Inverter BMS

    It seems the automation via SA is only programing the 6000xp. Not sending commands.
  • Post in thread: For Sale! Complete system

    You may be replying/quoting the wrong person My quote was for the OP and about its "clearly never been used"
  • Post in thread: Using 2 inverters for reliability

    I think its worth mentioning that you can only parallel the same brand, and model of inverters and most importantly they need to communicate with each other to mach phasing of the AC output. To put it more clearly, If you took a renogy inverter and paralleled the out put with an amazon special...
  • Post in thread: New Solar Assistant beta 2024-04-05 and stable 2024-01-23 software released

    yup. and that sucks.... SA receives SOC from the smart shunt, and makes automation decisions off SOC but not from the smart shunt??? wtf
  • Post in thread: Using ChargeVerter 5000 instead of 6000XP Charging?

    Sounds like you could help me figure this out. I have one 6000xp. If i connected a clothes dryer up to it it would soak up maybe 6000-6200 watts. This would be while Im discharging 300-500 watts as normal bringing the total load being 6300-6700 watts. In my scenario, the breaker I have the...
  • Post in thread: EG4 18kpv quick charge not working

    So some basic thoughts first. I have seen errors like that when the app "seems to work" but actually isnt online. Exit the app on you phone and then restart it and try again. I have also hit the quick charge button and it seemed to do nothing. The page didnt update and the watts didnt...
  • Post in thread: Ground mount panels grounding questions.

    Is there any problem using bare wire?
  • Post in thread: Future of DIY LiFePO4 looks bleak…

    Hmmmm. That is a very interesting point. About 16s vs 15s and 90 percent.
  • Post in thread: Is it common to lose 10 percent to your shunt compared to AIO input?

    Just wondering if this is an issue. This is a EG4 6000 Xp going to a Victron shunt shown in solar assistant.
