EG4 ChargeVerter Availability

[ScrodusGargleRotten]

I wish they could work as a Modbus slave. And the Dry Contacts were better. And the display were more accurate. And I didn’t have to have AC contactors on the inputs and Hall Effect sensors on the outputs to detect 1/2 power output.

But here we are.

When does the half power output come in?

I think the initial models one of the two power supplies could slide out of place internally due to lack of a securing bracket?

you mean the original yellow ones? I have used mine two or three times while running the centrifuge for 10-12 hours it uses a buttload of juice and its winter so i have used mine a couple of times. is this something I need to look at for mine? and if it moves what are the consequences?

Max 28 amp output
Plus the arcing of it loosening

Just what I'm imagining

Yes the og yellows. I believe it was mostly due to getting dislodged during shipment, fix seems to be:

We just found out that the latest shipment only came with one of two mounting brackets for attaching the unit to the wall. We are briefly marking them out of stock until we can get more brackets from EG4, but if you want one without the second bracket just reach out to our sales team.

Once we get the brackets in, we will get them shipped out ASAP. Many apologies for the trouble and inconvenience!

Ok. So are the people with chargverters already shipped going to receive the missing bracket?

Same at Signature Solar and yes, brackets will be sent out to anyone who doesn't have them!

Thanks for the reply. That sucks that now you guys get to deal with that.

Do we need to let you know we didn't receive them or will it be automatic?

We have a lot of sharp people on this forum. Some that could possibly design a chargeverter like “thing” without beginning to use their grey matter. The board and logic would be the toughest part.

When does the half power output come in?

Not sure. Occasionally one of them only puts out 50 amps. Had to add external ammeters to try to track when it occurs. Since I did that it hasn’t happened, of course.

Yes, we have record of who got them out of this batch and will make it right as soon as we get the correct parts to do so!

You're welcome! Reach out would be best as we couldn't be certain that every unit that went out didn't have the other bracket.

Yep mine arrives Monday (thanks for the delay FedEx…) Im sure Ill be needing the 2nd bracket. Hopefully I can mount it without or make a temporary bracket to suffice until the 2nd arrives.

Two supplied brackets on top. Two cheap 90 angle brackets on bottom. Done.

Thanks fedex

Thanks for committing to following up!

My Chargeverter is still in transit from Fedex. Left Las Vegas on Thursday 3/20/25. So I'm not really sure if missing a bracket.
But my main point...... This is what good Customer Service is all about.

Thanks Current Connected!

LOL. Mine was same. Same as always with FedEx. Anyway, got it and have it installed. Easy peasy. Running battery bank down now so I can test over the next couple days.

Mine arrived today but I had no time for fun today!

 

[EPicTony]

Glad I ordered mine (original yellow style) when I did. $399 yippee . Don't need all that fancy dry contact crap for double the price. Do they include a tube of k-y with the new version ?

 

[Offthewall]

Mine arrived today as well. I was missing 1 bracket as expected. It slowed me down a little…. 10 minutes and a little fab work later and I made a temp bracket out of aluminum stock.

Thanks to Current Connected for KY free pricing!

Ahhh. Love it when a plan ( puzzle ) finally comes together! Will be doing F150 Powerboost 7.2 kW => Chargeverter tests shortly. Thanks CC!
