It is being displayed as one very big battery, Note the "Maximum Discharge Current" = 1200 (12 batteries at 100ah each)

Fault code 59 is a "Minor BMS Fault". If you run the IPower.exe (or iPower-nt.exe) that SunGoldPower can provide you (or you can find it elsewhere) it will display 59 as "Minor BMS Fault" at the bottom of the screen

Did you download https://eg4electronics.com/categories/batteries/eg4-ll-s-48v-100ah-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery The readme.txt file says: This firmware can only be used on the EG4 LL-S (EG4 LL V4) battery. The purpose of this firmware is for the RSD function in closed loop Communication...

If you are not running Version 3.37 firmware (have an older one) and you are using an EG4 Communications Hub you will need to update to v3.37 as the firmware update increased the baud rate on the pins 7&8 RS485 port to 19,200 which is what the BAT Input on the Hub requires. This increased baud...

The BMS_Test software communicates using a HexAscii format using the EG4/Narada protocol whereas the BMS_Tool uses a Modbus format. I suspect the EG4-LL series batteries to not speak the EG4/Narada protocol The EG4-LL-SS and EG4-LL-V2 firmware downloads from the EG4 website also include the...

There are several BMS_Test softwares out there and I believe you may be using the wrong one. Try the one you can download from https://eg4electronics.com/categories/batteries/eg4-ll-s-48v-100ah-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery This is a screen shot of the version for EG4 LL batteries

Can you view all batteries with then SOKTool software (use the same cable but disconnect from SA) Before opening the COM port select FF for the "Pack" address. If you have all batteries RJ45 ports correctly connected between the batteries then "FF" for the Pack address will allow you to view...

The auto update tool is locked into the firmware version installed when shipped and as the auto update tool installed firmware cannot be updated. I believe the latest firmware is V3.37 The BMS_Test tool can upgrade (and downgrade) the firmware (so far). It is also nice to have as it lets you see...

The CAN/RS485 ports are used for BMS to Inverter Communications The RS485/RS485 ports are used for battery to battery communications The RS232 port is used by SA or PC based monitoring software. For the SunGoldPower batteries you would want to connect SA to the RS232 port on the master...

Are you operating in "closed-loop" or "open-loop"

Pissing on Biden can be a relief

Your multimeter might have a fuse(s) in the amp measuring function separate from the other functions on the meter

There are way to many "BMSTools" or "PBMSTools" software out there. passwords: 1: 123456 2: paceadmin 3: calculated from current date/Time in the format ddmmhh (day minute hour). You add 10 to the minutes and the hours are in 24hr format; for example current date/time is 04/09/2024 9:45 PM. The...

You need to find out if the manufacturer has the correct cable to connect the battery to a computer. If not it may be possible to build a cable but you will need the pinout of the RJ 45. The battery RJ 45 more than likely uses either the RS485 or CAN protocol (or both). You will need an RS485...

If you purchased the batteries with a communications port you can download the software from https://sakopower.com/download With this software you can monitor the batteries. To get the battery BMS to balance cells you will need to charge with 56 volts (16 cells x 3.5 volts per cell). Most BMS...

If you provide a charge voltage of 56 to 56.5 volts while monitoring the batteries with the BMS_Test software you will start to see the BMS for each battery begin to balance cells when the cell reaches 3.45 volts. This will be be indicated with a 'Bal' next to each cell. Once the BMS starts to...

BMS_test software. "Config" tab. Enter 888888 for the password. In the "Reading and writing MOS adhesive fault codes" box on the lower right of the tab click the "Read" button. The value returned should be "00" take a look at these posts...

I believe you could connect the positive from the left top battery to the positive of the right top battery and the negative from the left top battery to the negative of the right top battery. This would be equivalent in having all eight batteries in parallel Connect the inverter positive to...

Do you have the pinout for the RJ45 jack on the battery? You will most likely need to make a custom cable that only connects RS485A between the inverter and battery and RS485B between the inverter an battery. You may have inadvertently connected ground (or power) to an active pin. As stated...

The Mr. Coffee is killing you....

Battery to battery RS485B and RS485C. Any of these two to the next battery, the two ports are wired in parallel so no particular order. Any commercial ethernet cable will work. RS485A to inverter RS232 for computer or Solar Assistant monitoring

The minimum and maximum voltages of a true RS232 signals are +/- 12/13V., while TTL signals are 0 to 3,3V/5V. The differences between a TTL RS232 (also called RS232-C) and a True RS232 interface is only related to the signal level to GND (Ground) and not with the current to power the device...

I have found that charging a battery to where the BMS starts balancing the cells (and holding this charge voltage) but no cell reaches OVP will reset SOC to 100% and this 100% appears to be accurate with respect to battery capacity. Driving the charge to a single cell OVP will not necessarily...

The batteries would normally be connected to the bus bar using the smaller M8 bolts. The inverter is then connected using the larger M10 bolts. Generally you would connect the inverter to the top most M10 bolt on one bus bar and to the bottom most M10 bolt on the opposite bus bar. If you are not...

The rack (most anyway) also provide a nice bus bar arrangement that make for a cleaner installation with better cable management

Many inverters have firmware that can be configured to operate the inverter at 12, 24 or 48 volts. Same firmware in each inverter with several "Constants" that define if the inverter battery voltage is 12, 24 or 48. My SGP SPH10K48SP (SRNE Clone) for example has a modbus register...

I am arriving late in this discussion. Can the OP confirm the two attachments are correct for his equipment. The Inverters output 240vac on L1 and N which parallel feed the input to the auto transformer as the OP wants a 240VAC (2 -120 VAC leg) outputs. Is there any bonding of any...

Keep in mind that most big box store drip irrigations systems rate the emitters gal/hour based on 25 psi. The system uses a 25 psi regulator with a vacuum break. Each foot of elevation of the water tank provides 0.433 psi. Price the cost of a 15ft tower made from readily available lumber to the...

Or , elevate the tank and use gravity to feed the drip irrigation

Make/Model of batteries as well as a simple wiring diagram would help

You need to use the EG4 provided software and the correct communications cable to "talk" to the battery. The BMS holds a lot of information including what is causing the "Alarm" light to be on. Find out what that cause is before you open the battery. You will have these batteries for hopefully...

It would help if you let us know the batteries you have (i.e. EG4 LL, EG4 LL-XX or EG4 LifePower4) The EG4 batteries will communicate with the EG4 hub on pins 7&8. The batteries need to have addresses from 1 to XXX and the hub is address 0. SA will happily communicate with the batteries on an...

Lightning happens when a really huge negative charge builds up in the ground, corresponding to a positive charge overhead, and the differential becomes sufficient to jump the gap. (and, as others are pointing out repeatedly, air is an excellent insulator, so it takes a whacking huge voltage...
