A bit of research reveals this to be a zombie truth: it used to be that batteries would discharge faster when stored on concrete, but newer technology put the kibosh on this phenomenon. Yet the belief persists. A hundred years ago, this rule-of-thumb was quite useful, as the case around the...

That would be because there is so little working about the communication between battery and inverter right now. So many early buyers got cables that did not work. Then there was rumor of firmware needed updated depending on inverter. Then there was new cables and connections were still bad...

Why would you rush to register batteries? you have one year per the Robbie thread to register the things. I have had my 2 EG4 LL 2 weeks and I have not made any attempt to register them. If I decided to sell then there is no transfer issue. I did charge them to make sure they SOC 100% and have...

Charge them both to 100% SOC. I have 2 of the EG4-LL with the LCD panel. I love that LCD and think it is worth the extra money for it by itself. I dont have to connect my PC and look at the cells in it for that 'at a glance look' at the cells. If you have the EG4 with out the LCD, then you will...

The cycle of charge to discharge is going to vary for people. Some like Will P have indicated SOC to 0% and back to 100% on some battery. Then others have posted 14% to 82% SOC is a cycle. So to me a cycle is about the stress on the battery of charge to discharge and this will vary on the...

I see your other thread which lead to this thread https://diysolarforum.com/threads/eg4-lifepower-startup-procedure.42054/

I did connect 8 280aH and 8 304aH together to form a 48V on a 16S BMS. It worked fine from what I could tell the short amount of time I used it that way. I had read that the BMS will handle balance, and the balance is based on a low and a high voltage, not the aH of discharge and charge.

Well at least you have 100aH batteries to put together. Mine are 2 100aH and the other set are 304aH.. I sure hope the BMS on the EVE 304aH setup can handle being attached to the other batteries. No one seems to have an opinion on that. As to your EG4, they have a startup surge protection. I...

So glad you posted this issue. I was thinking the same thing just 4 days ago. I have ( 2 ) EG4-LL 100aH 48V on order. Then I have 16 EVE 304aH already with the JBD 7S-20S 300A BMS. SS wanted me to get 2 of the EG4-LL with the 2 6500EX-48 inverters since my goal is 240 split phase with...

I think @Will Prowse has some videos about panels with this discolor look and talks about them. I cannot remember however if it was an issue, or the power output is still the same.

I dont think that what you asked is still really in the manual correctly. I happen to want to buy 2 of these and run in parallel so I looked at what you asked. from what I read there is no exact wording for SOLAR UTILITY BATTERY while that does spell SUB for short, the manual of the 6500...

There was a firmware issue with the LV6548 in that it would not sync up as 2P1 and 2P2 until that firmware was updated. Perhaps the 6500 is having that same issue?

While I am sure you dont consider your experience a 10 as in perfect, it was resolved. I am sure that with resolution on your side on this issue you can change the title of the thread to RESOLVED instead of RANT. At least that is what I would do and request from an admin if it was needed at that...

I think what SS and other companies do not take into effect is the google bots these days too. The forums back end tags and bots, these threads are easily ranked and put at the top of searches. Even if you are a consumer and you use the word terrible you get
