I have 2 400AH 12V EG4-LL batteries the original. Apparently the BMS firmware can't be updated and according to the BMStools I have D-4S400AH-P00-ZTR-V1.0 models. I've been having major issues where whenever I put any decent load my voltages drop and everything resets in my RV. In such I've updated everything to 1000a Lynx, 4/0 gauge wiring with wires going between each battery and from each battery lug to Lynx power in right infront of it.
Because of this issue I decided to rip everything out and test it. I plugged in my Quattro 5000/12v inverter directly into 1 battery with no fuse or anything else. I then attached a voltmeter to the battery lugs and applied a load. All while the battery was plugged into my laptop monitoring using the BMStools software.
Pulling just 103 watts from my inverter caused the voltage to drop to 10.3V at the lug and 10.39V according to the inverter. All while the BMS is showing 13.3V with a SOC of 96%
I then plugged in to shore and Absorption charging set in pumping 70W/4.9A into the batteries and reporting 14.27V on inverter and 14.22V on voltmeter at lug. BMS showing 13.310V with a 2.520A charge rate.
What should I do now? I'm about to do the same test with a small 24AH lithium battery I have to make certain its the EG4 battery. Also will do the same with the identical battery.
