    EG4 8k firmware update 09.19.23

    I feel like an idiot but I must be the only person in the universe that can't find a single piece of information how to get a firmware file update from a laptop to an EG4 8kw inverter.

    EG4 8kw battery charging current

    EG4 8kW Hybrid Inverter - my impression after 30 days use.

    I have installed a system with 2 8kw inverters planning to run in parallel eventually. I have 2 battery packs consisting of 6 EG4 lifepower's and 4 EG4LL V2's. I cannot for the life of me make either inverter start up and communicate with any battery. Currently have each inverter (not tied...
