Thanks everyone. Yes, this will be a one-time thing to get them all to the same SOC. They are brand new, so I hope they are close. Moving forward, they will be charged by a Victron MPPT or Victron Multiplus II.

I bought a BigBattery 48v blue charger that outputs 57.6v DC / 20A to do an initial charge on 6 EG4 LL-S batteries to get them at the same SOC. I see now that the charger states it is exclusively for two BigBattery models of their LiFePO4 batteries. In the manual of the EG4 LL-S batteries...

Thanks! 1) I do not believe it will hold two wires as it just has a hole for the wire to enter into, but I can use a Wago 221-613 for 10 AWG wire 3 conductor, 600v, 30A UL listed device to split it with a pigtail. 2) I will be using a 32A single pole 120v/240v DIN mount circuit breaker...

I have a Reliance A306 30-amp, 6 circuit transfer switch. Specs are 60A max combined loads, AWG 10 minimum cord gauge, 2 20-amp breakers and 4 15-amp breakers all 120v. I want to power the transfer switch from a Victron Multiplus II 48/5000/70. The 6 circuits I will be running are five rooms...

Thanks, I think I have watched all your videos that you made when you switched to the Victrons (and you do a great job of explaining things). You are the only person with videos on the 5kVA model that I bought to help future proof me for any direction I may want to go in the future. I am wanting...

Thanks for the confirmation

I have a couple of questions that I can't not seem to get my head wrapped around. I will be hiring an election for this, but do like to understand things fairly well so I can talk with the election somewhat intelligently and also not be ripped off. I purchased the Multiplus II 48/500/70-95...

Thanks for all the excellent information. I knew my MPPT was oversized, I got a good deal on two models up and was looking to future-proof this somewhat. Even the inverter, 5000v is a size up from what I need currently. The panels are Renology, so I hope that makes them easy to get in the...

Ok, I see what you are saying now. Thanks for the suggestion

I like the suggestion and even as I have it now, would be using it daily. I would keep my computer stuff plugged into it using the batteries at night and solar during the day. That may not sound like much, but I work in IT and have several servers, etc. What would really make my project...

Thanks, I went with 4 550w panels that should get me closer. I started a new post with a schematic of what I will do for review. I did end up going with Victron equipment. I appreciate your comments.

Here is the system I am looking to build, and I would appreciate everyone letting me know of any wrongs or better methods to do things. I will be mounting it on a piece of oak plywood that has been covered with ceramic paper that is rated at 2300 F. I am also going to use a raspberry pi 4 /...

I am now looking at the following: Growatt 5kW (SFP 5000 ES) 3 EG4 Lifepower4 48v server battery packs 2 Renogy 550W bifacial mono solar panels in series For now, I still am wanting to keep this separate from my house wiring and attach a heavy-duty power strip coming out of the Growatt. I...

I will investigate that, but it already has some negatives in my mind. I am not looking to install a transfer switch as I mentioned my system will be on the smaller size. To do a transfer switch, that really steps up things and requires an electrician, possible sub panel for critical circuits...

I live in a rural area and due to severe thunderstorms and close scrapes by hurricanes, I'm looking to build a small system. I mean a little larger than a "hand-cart" system, something on a two-tier cart. I am only looking to run a fridge, freezer, and a few small things like router, firewall...
