Brand new EG4 6000XP threw #26 error code and then blew up

My inverter was throwing Overload messages, randomly shutting down with as little as 200Watts connected to it right out of the box. Strangely the problem went away as soon as i lifted the Battery voltage from around 50 to 58 Volts by adding two more cell blocks. Of course EG4 never replied to my desperate outreach for help, i wasted at least 60 hours of my life trying to figure this out. I guess the root cause of that problem was a faulty transistor from the beginning and not the battery Voltage.

Really does sound like a capacitor may have blown due to an inrush of current. Without a resistor that could happen.
 
My bet its one or several MOSFET, thats the typical part that breaks on these inverters, 99.999999% of the time. Plus i have a good BMS in the chain set to 150Amps that would have avoided frying the whole bank of transistors.
