Great video. Hey I just did my first diy project using the EG4 inverter and the EG4LL battery on a hand truck. Unfortunately I don't have solar panels that create enough voltage to solar charge the battery through the EG4 inverter. I have two EcoFlow bifacial panels that are 220W and I was thinking that if I just connect them to an mppt solar charge controller that I could trickle charge my battery. Is this a valid idea? I don't want to mount panels on my roof and I only need my battery for backup during outages.
We have the eg4 with the 29K set up that works quite well but some days with the clouds overhead we do end up with less power than needed by the end of night. I have a 3500w inverter generator with only the 30amp./120v output. Do you know if I can hook up the 120v to the generator input on the board?
@@Mikebuildss I hope this is what you need.... It's the Luxpower 18K eg4 inverter 48v 280ah Does that tell you enough? I'm a career sparky but never got into the solar until my 5th wheel and then this, my buddies system. Thank you
What is the idol consumption of ur EG4 inverters and how do you feel about it I'm hearing some people complain about the high idle consumption of those particular inverters including the MPP versions
@Mikebuildss right but I'm running a 24 volt solar system with two 24 volt 3000w inverter charges and 12 kilowatts in lithium my mini split runs great on it I've gotten it all the way down to less than 200 watts in eco mode
I'd like to know how you converted from the Nema L14-30 to a 110V in. Looking to run my chargeverter off of a Honda EU3000i that doesn't have a Nema L14-30 output.
@@greggoryleblanc1024 use an inverter, to go from 12 volt to 120, then plug the charger into that and set the current to make sure you don’t fry the charging system
The charging voltage that this unit appears to be capable of is far too low to fully charge a 48 Volt LFP battery. The manual for this cheap charger states that this unit is only capable of a 57 Volt maximum output. The output should be capable of reaching at least 58.4 Volts to fully charge a 48 Volt LFP battery. This unit appears to be poorly designed.
Love the cat! He owns everything, just like my yorkie!
I love your cat!
Sure wish EG 4 would put out instructions on how to connect this to my Ethos battery/ EG4 system.
@@good2go193 I just went straight to my main 48v busbars where I connect the batteries and inverter together.

Yes should work fine!

What’s your setup exactly? I’m sure I can help just neeed to know what you mean exactly

@@diysolaradventures7894 it seems to use less than 50 watts idle, my 6500ex used slightly more.
@Mikebuildss oh okay I deleted my last two responses because I didn't know you had upgraded to the 6000 XP I thought you were still using the 6500s
@@diysolaradventures7894 oh I see , I would highly recommend the 6000xp it’s definitely more refined then the 6500

@@jamesg6071 I made an adapter, I made a video but never posted it, I’ll post it and it shows how easy it is
@@Mikebuildss Awesome thank you!
The chargeverter cleans up the dirty power from your non-inverter generator so that you can safely charge your batteries.
Your neighbors must be so confused seeing all those panels and hear a genie running.
They are jealous I can harness the power of the sun!
How would I charge the batteries from my work vehicles power system?
