EG4 PowerPro Battery Firmware

[y0bailey]

The firmware files are now there!

Is there an order we should flash? RS485 first, then RS232?

I'm still waiting on my RS232 cable...should I just wait until I can flash both or am I OK to proceed w/ flashing the RS485 files recently added?

The order does not typically matter, however, it will be fine to flash the RS485 firmware and the RS232 at a later date.

If you'd like to dm me your order number, I can get you an update!

Two sets of files. Two cables required.

I didn't get to it last night and I'm out of town now so I haven't actually flashed yet. I'll report in once I've done it.

As y0bailey has already mentioned, the RS485 update is labeled PowerPro 280ah RS486 Firmware on the downloads section of the site.

Where does it say RS486 firmware? Is there any way to make this more organized? Shouldn't it just be one zip file that contains both the rs232 and rs485 firmware?

I will definitely bring this up to see if we can get this addressed. However, this would be the RS485 firmware.

Alright I lied...I had time to flash before I left town!

Followed directions, success on both files first try.

Now they are on S02T17.


One question for the EG4/SS folks... My limit charge went from 100A to 200A when I added the second battery. However, in the app I still only see "battery parallel number: 1"

Is that supposed to read 2?

I just want to make sure I'm not missing something!

See screenshot.

Nevermind! It updated!

But now a new question... Should this be reading 400A now?!?

This would be correct.

 

[y0bailey]

This would be correct.

Thanks for the response.

Seems like the old firmware was limited to 100A.

New firmware defaults to 200A. 2x200A = 400.

This was my confusion since my firmware was so old.

Glad to be up and running at full capacity now.

I've never heard the fans kick on when charging before. Them electrons can now move faster and the 18kpv ramped up while I was down there staring at it!

So this is what I am not happy about. Why is the file name S02T09 but the actual update is S02T17?

I have requested to get this renamed as soon as possible.

Is it possible that some of these come shipped with the new firmware already flashed? Can I get the firmware version from the display on the battery? The reason why I was asking is because on my solark it has communication and it's allowing 200 amp.

New WallMount batteries do come with the latest firmware installed. The firmware version can be found on the battery screen by pressing the return button.

I went through the display and I did not see any firmware information on the display.

Here is a video that may be helpful finding the firmware version. However, if it does not show, please let me know.
