Thanks I hope those settings work for my LL batteries. Since the last time I communicated with you on this topic my situation has progressed. I now have my two 15Ks connected to 3 Power Pro’s and my 6 LL V2’s after I updated the firmware for the LL V2’s so that they can communicate with the PP batteries and not void warranty according to EG4 head of R&D.

Props to the OP on figuring this out. They added this to the manual, but using hubs. I have almost the exact same setup, but unfortunately I have 18 batteries and not enough unique dip switch combos for this to quite work. I had to separate my battery banks and use the same dip switches between the banks. I have 12 batteries on one bat input on the hub and 6 on another bat input on the hub. I'm hoping eg4 will have a way to output individual pack socs from the comm hub and I can feed that into the SA in the future. I've emailed them and will see what they say.
Take care,

Hi, can i ask you to elaborate on your setup? i have 2 x 8kw sunsynks 3 15kwh seplos's bats. Ive set up a trial of Solar assistant and Home assistant. i wanted to get as much battery information as i can into HA/SA without compromising the information given to the inverters. At the moment the batt info is pulled to the inverters via CAN.
SA told me that its not possible to do what i would like to do.

you'll be fine pulling the info from every battery, with the exception of the master battery..
Once you set that as a CANBUS master, it wont respond to RS485 request anymore..
For my setup this isnt an issue, as i have a pretty big stack...
simulation your setup , you would see something like this in SA :
in turn , that info is relayed by SA to HA where you can use it as you choose
