    SOLD - EG4 6500EX For Sale - $800

    ***Someone local is picking up on Sat. Will update post when sale goes through.*** I have used this very lightly to learn and play around with 4 panels. I never got the funds to purchase the batteries, so I'm letting this go. Will come with all the manuals and accessories too. I'm located near...

    Battery Box for 16s EVE 105ah cells

    As the title suggests, I'm looking for a container for my 16s EVE 105ah cells. The pack will be powering a 2015 Club Car Precedent. I have a Daly 250A BMS that I'll be mounting in the box as well. Any suggestions on manufacturers for boxes of this type? I'll likely have to wait until the fall...

    Bus Bar Temperatures

    I looked at several, but since I have plenty of space to work, I chose the cheap option. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FMXEWQC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details This seemed to work well, but it would be problematic if you're in tight spaces.

    Bus Bar Temperatures

    Update**** As suspected, I didn’t have things tight enough. I torqued everything down to 3nm to start with, and everything is completely cool now. Now I need to find some good lugs/ring terminals to fit 2ga wire. Would harbor freight have those? I’m going to look in a bit for those and a...

    Bus Bar Temperatures

    Thanks. I have ordered a torque wrench so that I can get the recommended level of torque. I've done some research on the forum and it seems that most agree that for my specific cell the max is 8nm, but should only be tightened to 5nm to prevent stripping. I'll give it a shot when the tool...

    Bus Bar Temperatures

    Hi all, I have a general question about how hot bus bars should typically get. I have built a 16S pack from the EVE 105ah cells. As you know, these have rather small terminals and they came with screws and bus bars. When I put about 20-30amp load on it, some of the terminals get very hot to the...

    Signature Solar EG4 6.5K Off-Grid Inverter | 6500EX-48

    I figured out the reason the unit was shutting off after 10 mins of no BMS communication. I had to change the battery type to "USE" instead of EG4 or the other types. All others except "USE" require BMS communication. The User one doesn't, but this isn't in the manual.

    Signature Solar EG4 6.5K Off-Grid Inverter | 6500EX-48

    I've noticed a couple of odd things like that with settings. Another example, it will not honor the settings I have for source priority. I have it set to SBU (solar, battery, utility). No matter what, if I flick on the breaker for the AC input, it will 100% bypass the solar and battery and feed...

    Signature Solar EG4 6.5K Off-Grid Inverter | 6500EX-48

    The only setting I saw was “no alarm”. It doesn’t disable the error 61 beeping.

    Any way to silence that battery alarm? I have a LifePo4 bank setup and the beeping is nuts :)

    Signature Solar EG4 6.5K Off-Grid Inverter | 6500EX-48

    My 6500EX arrives today. Am I going to need to use a resistor to connect my LiFePO4 battery bank? I didn't see anything in the manual about it, but want to be safe.
