Aolithium communications EG4 6000

They are silly prices for the cables! Nothing anywhere in Europe. They are not responding to any of my emails / messages now either.

Yep same here I don’t know if they went out of business or what’s going on. Honestly, I plan on making my own cables. I found where you could buy the connectors.

I don't have a 6000xp but for my victron setup, all dip switches down worked. But to be honest, even changing the dip switches never affected the AH reading.

Is your data lead factory or self made? The ethernet cables that come with the aolithium are not 485, they are straight through connectors and I couldn't use them with my victron cerbo. I made my own data lead, it is very easy as there are only 2 data and 1 earth to connect.

Be patient, I have some good news for you the company is not a fake. They stand by their word. 2 of my 8 came with damaged crates. I reported to the deliver co. Then I emailed the shipper from China. I told them about the issues with pictures. They asked me to recrate the one that was a blue screen and keep the one that had bent handles and a dent on the side that worked. They sent me 2 new ones, plus paid the freight back to L.A. Wow! Shocked it was no trouble dealing with them. They we responsive and reassuring. I paid for 8 and now I have 9 Batteries. I need cables AK02 & Ak01 for the new batteries. I will check with Mouser.
 
Matthew are you getting heat on the cables hooked to 5 batteries when you put on a 50 amps Ac load or more? I have a bank of 4 and 5 batteries run to a busbar. From there 2,0 cables to 2, 6000xps inverters. Another question. I have( 2)- 9 panel runs of 315 watt panels On the Master 6000xp 48 V inverter is it ok to used port 1 and port 2, for 9 panels each port or do I need to use port 1 on each inverter? I will have Grid and 12kw Genset on propane for charging and emergency loads. The transfer switch is already hooked to grid power and genset, so it come on when power fails. It powers up house just fine. I'm just not sure how to hook the 2 inverters up with batteries to the Grid and Genset transfer switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

These pictures are excysting wiring in the Transfer switch panel. I'm just not sure how to hook the 2 inverters up with batteries to the Grid and Genset transfer switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not worried about it. I plan on getting a remedy for that very shortly. I’m gonna make cables for each battery and connect them directly to the bus bar.

If you look up "Seplos Connector" on AliExpress you will find some listings for Futronics connectors and some for the larger 8.0's as well.. Seems Seplos uses Futronics for some of its kits.
 
the manual (thought it shows blue dip switches, not red) says it should be dip switch 6 up . -- to be clear, NO ONE has this working right yet then ?

What do you mean by working right?

Mine shows the correct number of batteries in parallel and the remaining Ah capacity

The V3 (reds) have an entirely different BMS.. And would be surprised if the programming is exactly the same as V2. The manual is likely not too representative of the V3 BMS..

Nope, you are wrong. I have 6 batteries working seamlessly in a victron setup. They are seen as pylontech and in my closed loop system are performing well so far. edit V2, with blue dip switches.
 
Shouldn't it show total battery capacity, not remaining capacity?

Maybe I got confused about that along the way?

Also who has red dip switch style?
 
I have 6 reds and 2 blues, I am not sure if standard Ah readout should be total theoretical capacity or the BMS estimated remaining capacity. All I got to work properly is the remaining usable capacity.

okay thanks, trying out your settings, see how far I make it.

Given that these batteries are no longer available, is there a way to match them with other batteries and have the proper BMS communication? i.e., dip switch/parallel communication.

Is there another battery compatible with it?
 
I've pretty much given up as v2 comms seem to work but v3 I cant get working Atleast for voltronic... The bms's don't seem too accurate either
