Update 2023/04/20: The batteries issue was resolved with the firmware mentioned in this post. The inverter still throws fault 04 when starting the 24,000 BTU window unit.
I bought 3 EG4-LifePower4 batteries that arrived on Wednesday (6/29/2022). They are from Signature Solar of course and are "refurb/used/open-box/garage sale". They were $1,124.25 each and I have 14 days of warranty / return window (from 6/29). After Wed 7/13 they have no further warranty from SS and I'd be stuck with them.
This is what they look like:
May favorite first. I have no concerns with this one. This unit seems brand new and just damaged in shipping.
This one is obviously a return and I am concerned about the SOH as it relates to the cycles.
It's SOH has been reduced to 99.9% Max capacity has been reduced to 99.9%. It has 4 cycles on it.
Extrapolating 4 cycles removing a tenth of a percent of health, in 800 cycles we would remove 20% health. That's 80% SOH in just a little over 2 years.
