I wonder if you could try plugging in a high draw 12 volt appliance to your 4rth battery through the 12 volt 30 amp XT60 outlet. See what that does to your system.
No update for the last few days about the battery issue? Is it any better? I just sent my Host back after issues with battery issues, I think?!? I have seen a few instances online with similar battery issues. Is it an inherited issue? Or just random. Following …
Different voltages for one..... Also, It throws off the time remaining clock on the screen, and also wears out the batteries faster on some rather than the others ;) Now, if this is just a reporting error, and the batteries are really the same power, The system thinks that there is more power left than there really is. (throw off that remaining clock) Think of it this way, if you lift weights and your left and right arms... And the left arm uses more energy than the right arm....the left arm wears out much faster than the right arm, right?
What is the voltage coming out of the E3600 to battery #4, and what is the voltage coming out of #4 going to #5. Not sure that it would tell you anything. It would be interesting to compare the other port voltage coming out of the E3600 to batteries #2 & 3.
Checked all 5 batteries. Same voltage in all 5. It is just that darn meter gets all weird with that last batery and "THINKS" it is higher than it really is, this would throw off that remaining clock time, right? Percon made a big mistake by leaving those cascading ports "LIVE" on all there products. kinda dangerous, but great for modding ideas I guess...LOL There really should be a power cut off or disconnect when not using those ports for safety. So you can just stick in multi-meter in there and see the voltage of each battery in real time. we did this a few times on video a few updates back :)
Bob has Pecron given you feedback about the issue continuing even with the replacement Ep3000 battery? The answer/solution or confirmation it's not a big deal should come from their engineers?
Not much info yet, but they just had that big CES thing, and they are just getting back now. (people that we deal with at pecron) Engineer said that they are trying to copy my results right now on there systems.
I agree. To be able to reset that shunt and power meter. We will try to drop the system to "0" once again and see if this works. It did not work the first time we tried it.
Maybe try and move that last battery to a different location in your system and see if its still happens
Thank you for the idea :)
But, We already tried that. Different spots, different cables, different number settings.....same result :(
I have had similar problem. Try: discharge no any charging all to 0 % till it's dye. Then charge it to 100%. It worked for me
We tried that, but we will try that again :)

Oh snap, that might be a good test to try :)
Thank you for the idea :)
Have you tried moving the new battery to a different order like no 1 or 2 position and see how it works
Yep, already tried that :(
1. Different spots
2. Different cables
3. Different number settings
All yield the same results with the 4th battery
Just a guess; can you adjust it with the app thing?
For some reason, the app is not working on my phone right now, we showed this in one of the updates.
Always worked before...lol

Still testing, but it seems like that 4th battery just never stays with the rest...more videos coming :)
@ it seems as though you have more video information out about this unit,then anyone else out there ! I hope Pecron is on top of this with you!
Are you inputting solar into the expansion batteries directly
Nope, 100% of the energy is going through the main 2 x XT-60 ports on the e3600lfp for all of these tests.
so, I'm dumb. what's the issue with the batteries being out of balance 😅

@RamblinBobReviews thank you
No worries :)
We are all learning as a team on this channel :)

It need to learn 0% and 100% for proper reporting.
