Richard,
THANK you for the support, and I have had nothing but wonderful results from my EG4 48V battery installs. (4 different installs, various configurations)
I have found using the voltage settings with Sol-Ark, Outback and Victron, the SOC is within 1 point once it gets dialed in (no direct BMS communication with the inverters). Having been in the Solar business for 17yrs, I of course know and plan on the install-configuration shakedown when introducing new product lines into the matrix.
I do have a question on whether I can stack the Lifepower4 (or any of the line), in series and what are the limitations? I have heard only the BMS quits reporting, but I am curious on the voltage limitations. I called sales and heard 16 in series, but that would would be close to 770V, and I think there might be a mistake. Not sure whether the BMS would "quit reporting" or just plain burn up from overvoltage. IE: If the limit is say 200V then I could conceivably put 3 of them in series.
I won't try anything stupid until I get confirmation.
Thanks again,
Jack
