    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    Thank you for the reply @Will Prowse. I think I have a legitimate need for accurate State of Charge. I am trying to use my system as a house backup using a transfer switch. During normal times I want to use the energy I generate but always have at least about 30% in the batteries. So what...

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    I'm still having the problem. I have a single 6500Ex and 3 eg4 batteries. Fault 61 appears in the middle of the day during higher current charging conditions. I have a brand new cable from signature solar. I have gone through the videos from signature solar and still the same problem...

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    You are probably aware that you can mute the alarm. I have mine muted so that my wife doesn't say the same thing to me. :) But I do think this is a software issue on the inverter. And yah, the app is hopelessly behind the firmware options on the inverter. The two bits of software are not in sync.

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    For me, it communicates fine 90% of the time, but during the middle of the day when the charging current is higher, I'll get fault 61 for a few seconds and then it clears on it's own. The fault will go on and off continually until the charging current lowers.

    EG4 6500 - Error 61 Information Gathering/Solution

    I'm having Issue #3... intermittant Error 61 during the middle of the day during charging. Battery is nowhere near 100% :)

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    I got a new cable from signature solar and still getting error code 61 during middle of the day (> 30amp charging). None of the suggestions on the video fixes the problem. Seeing the same thing as 5275K_Dude.

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    The eg4 batteries spec sheet is here --> https://signaturesolar.com/content/documents/EG4/1511006-specs.pdf it shows recommended bulk voltage and float voltage.

    EG4 6500 EX 48

    you can run 120v appliances off of one inverter but you would need two inverters for 240v appliances.

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    I'm seeing the inverter is not getting accurate information about the state of charge. The inverter app is showing 62% state of charge : but the bms software is showing 30-40% state of charge: I have a good cable. It seems to me that the firmware in the EG4 has issues. But even more...

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    well I'm getting fault 61 even with the new cable. It's happening intermittently during charging especially when the charging current is above 40 amps. It'll blink for a while and then stop. I notice that when I connect the laptop to the battery pack, battery 0 sometimes take a while to...

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    for anyone who wants to try to make their own cable here is how I got it working. Pin 1 goes to Pin 3 and Pin 2 goes to Pin 5. Here I used the one green pair. It's working right now... but I will keep an eye on it.

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    I've charged all my packs to 100% and now can't get fault 61 to go away. I'm using custom built cables that seem to work sometimes. I'm pretty sure this is more than a cable issue since it's intermittent.

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    I already have my bus bar flipped but still get error 61. It does sound though like some of these problems are related to batteries not evenly charged. I also have a growatt inverter and it did not have these issues (with the same battery pack)

    EG4 6500EX and EG4 Lifepower4 intermittent 61 error

    I have the same setup (EG4 6500EX and (3) EG4 batteries) and I'm getting the same problem. Error code 61 especially during higher current charging (middle of day). I'm also getting the inverter shutting down at around 16% state of charge with error code 52. I don't know if the cable per se...

    mismatched battery question

    So I have a little problem. lifepo4 batteries from China are hard to get right now and I could not find a deal on perfectly matched batteries.. So I've managed to snag 4 150ah lifepo4 cells and a daly 100amp bms. I also have snagged a prebuilt 100ah lifepo4 battery pack with built in bms...
