Hey all, I have a question about the charging of the EG4 Lifepower4 battery. I have one that does a max charge of 50A via my EG4 6500EX. This isn't changeable by me, so I'm guessing the BMS is telling the inverter on how to charge it. At 95% SOC, it throttles back to 10A until it's topped off. There is a closed comms between the inverter and battery via a cable supplied by EG4.
I have a 3.6KW array, and it usually takes about 2 hours to charge my one battery if there's sufficient sunshine. That's a max of 2.75KW at a time, considering the 50A charge rate, and 30% SOC.
I have considered getting another Lifepower4 battery. My question is will the master battery set a higher charge current after I install it. Like will it go up to 100A to accommodate two batteries? I know with a 3.6KW array it won't be able to produce that much current (70A max?), but was curious if the charging setpoint on the inverter would change.
