I've got a support case with SS that I'm working with but wondered if anyone else had this issue. Out of the blue, one of the LifePower4 batteries in my array went completely dark - no Run, Alarm, or SoC light showing. Upon removing from the array, I could hear a high pitched noise, and tested...

Hey all, just got four SPDs for my setup - x1 EG4 6000XP with two PV arrays as input. Typical voltage up to 400V. 48/56V battery array, and AC breaker, no grid tie or grid input. SPDs - x2 600VDC for the two solar inputs, x1 300VDC for somewhere connecting to the battery (would have liked a...

Hey all, I'm seeing alarm light on all my batteries in my LifePower4 battery array and was not seeing any charge indicators. It's been unusually cold here past few days so I suspect it is due to low temperature which I'm guessing the BMS disabled charging while there are low temps. I've seen...

Hey all, a couple days ago I flipped the PV Disconnect off in prep for thunderstorms - I don't know if this helps save the inverter if there's errant voltage that comes in from the panels, but thought it might help - then after the storms I turned the PV array back on. Ever since then one of the...

Hey all, I've got some panels ground mounted for now, well below the amp/volt specs, but am looking to start planning out longer term setup now that I've just received my 6000XP inverter. Looking for suggestions and feedback on what I've got and what I could set up.. 6000XP Inverter PV inputs...

Hey all, I've got a 120V to 48V ~15A (~800W) charger for my LifePower4 batteries that are in one of those 6 battery server racks. This charger has alligator clips, is it ok for me to plug this into the bottom battery, or better to plug into the busbar? Would like to be able to charge while...

Hey all, I'm transitioning from 2 3000 EG4 inverters to a single 6000XP EG4 and have a question regarding my main panel hookup. In the previous setup, I had a neutral-ground bond in my main panel, 2 hots and 2 neutrals coming from the 3000 EG4 inverters, and a chassis bond that was joined up in...

Hey all, I just ordered the EG4 6000XP and noticed that unlike a lot of the other inverters they offer, there wouldn't be any battery cables coming. I looked in the manual to see what the needed gauge would be and am seeing 1AWG for Inverter-to-Battery. So I go to search for my favorite cables...

Is there a video request topic for Will we can post to? I know he's said before that he really only makes videos when the community is interested in something. I know he'd do a very well and in-depth demonstration of its uses and pitfalls is the main reason I ask. My main draw on whether or not...

Hey all, Per the title, I'm seeing a battery stop charging at 78%, just barely into the 4th light. The SOC on the EG4 3000 Inverter is showing 78%, but right around that time the voltage is sky-rocketing like it's full. Could it be a bad cell? But then the voltage should be even lower, right...

Hey all, I've got 2 EG4 3000s set up in Split Phase and an array of 3 of the EG4 Lifepower4s. Before setting up split phase, I'd get what I assume are accurate readings for the battery state of charge, showing 99% or 100% (and listed 300Ah, but no longer shows that) before seeing the incoming...

Hey all, Curious what to expect for each of the components of a system. I figure Inverters is the lowest, but wondering if people have had inverters running for well over the 5 years they state. All-in-ones are fairly new, so I doubt there's much data to go on for the long-term (10+ years), but...

I recently wired up two inverters, the EG4 3000 yellow ones and was curious about inverter power consumption expectations. Before: 1 inverter power consumption + general things like the freezer/fridge/etc would take around 10% of the battery capacity over the night. Now: 2 inverters in split...

I have a Renogy 48V 50AH battery, the long rectangular one. I accidentally used a long screw from my 12V Renogy to try and put the lug on. I torqued it too hard and it broke through the bottom of the terminal. I popped open the top and saw where some parts of the BMS and connector cables to the...

Hey all, I wired x2 3000 EG4 Inverters in split phase this Memorial Day weekend for my external structure (not tied to the grid whatsoever). The inverters work fine and I've got 2 separate phases. The breakers are set up to effectively split the load between the inverters, so that's all good...

Questions on using 2 EG4-3000 EHV-48s. Eventually I want to have split phase, but need to buy new breaker box and breakers, etc, for that. I've currently got one EG4-3000 running with ~2kw of panels rigged to it. I have another EG4-3000 that is not currently hooked up, but wanted to know if I...

Hey all, new here and looking for some advice on using a combiner box for my PV array to an All-in-one Solar Charger/Inverter. Some insight into the current set up I've got.. 3500w All-in-one with max 4400w solar input (manual recommended to use 4 AWG into solar input) - 150V max, 145V...
