Being that the items are on backorder till mid next month, it was only a return of the money.
And hydro was another source EG4 mentioned in our phone conversation that needed to be addressed as well. Meaning they've had several calls besides mine about the addition of wind and hydro.

I bet solar assistant can still take it down !
Once the battery is fully charged, adding more electrons causes dendrite growth. OSLT...
It wont hurt anything. Wind is just another controller that needs to be PROPERLY SETUP. Same with the OP'S generator. A DC bus doesn't care where the power came from or what brand name is on it.
Exactly. I'm a bit surprised this hasn't already been mentioned, maybe it has and I missed it. It's no different than running out of usable MPPT's on an AIO then adding an external charge controller for the new array.
But is a float of say 56V adding more electrons? 3.5V per cell?
EG4 LifePower default settings:
I wanted to start with recommended float voltage because nobody can argue with that logic. If there is any loads on the batteries they will find 54V at least usable. Just use their closed loop MPPT and input the wind generator through that. May need to double the voltage to get it in the middle of the MPPT range. Since the invention of money there is a way to do it that doesn't variolate the rules of man or physics.
Right, but whats the "smoke" number?
Purely by monitoring voltage.
I'm not sure where their warranty (above) differs significantly from any other vendor on the planet. Regardless of any verbal communication, the only warranty for this or any product is what is written. How does your Sungold warranty differ? Does it cover outside damage? This thread seems a little FUD'y.
When the only communication the charging device has with the battery is voltage and current sensing.
You keep saying this . . . By whom? Please provide receipts.
Asked and answered:
Sungold doesn't tell me not to connect solar assistant to their inverters
Well now that you mentioned it (Does it cover outside damage) sungold never asked me how any of the problems occurred. They just figured out what they thought was wrong and sent parts....
Didn't read ahead, was stated multiple times prior without identifying the culprits. If true as stated, someone needs to have a sit-down with these people and get them up to speed. My guess is over-zealous tech support or a simple misunderstanding of the question. Anyone who calls and starts a conversation with "Does this warranty cover", probably starts setting off alarm bells. A warranty is only as good as the company behind the product. Thus far while sometimes somewhat sluggish, getting it resolved, I've seen no indication that eg4 has failed to honor their warranties. If you want to bash them a bit for past sins, I shant comment, but AFAIK all the incidents reported here have been resolved one way or another.
