EG4 Lifepower4 and MPP Solar LVX6048WP...

[Mark-]

Hello,

Anyone using EG4 batteries with an MPP Solar LVX6048WP or other EG4 and MPP Solar combinations?

Looks like no from the lack of responses. I have DIY Seplos Mason kits, but no comms with the LVX6048WP inverters. Not really needed in my opinion. Just set the parameters for how you like to charge and float.

Thanks.

I have an LVX6058WP but a generic 48V 100AH battery. Were you able to figure the settings out under option #3?

I Use USE, and set the charge parameters to 56V bulk and 54.4 float.

That is how I have it now. I was wondering if there were any advantage to using the Ethernet wire and increase data accuracy through my “Solar Assistant” app.

I also use solar assistant, but just for monitoring.
Solar Assistant is able to see all seven batteries through a single USB to RS485 connection.

All through the one connection between your LVX6048WP and your Raspberry PI or did you run another USB cable from your Raspberry PI to your battery?

I have two LVX6048WP in parallel, and use the RS232 to USB cables from each inverter to a Raspberry Pi 4. There are no comms between the batteries and the inverters, so I use an RS485 to USB connection to another USB port on the Pi 4 for monitoring the batteries.

One nice thing about the Seplos BMS's is they connect together and communicate over RS485 in parallel, so only a single connection is needed on the Pi 4 to access all the batteries. My Pi 4 is in a Vevor enclosure to keep it water proof. Everything is located outside the house.

Thank you! That is very helpful! I’ll go see if I can do something similar to mine. I appreciate your input.
