RE: 6000 XP set solar charge limit?

I have (finally) been able to approximate a LFP friendly charge curve with the 6000xp charge controller running the show 'open-loop' (without rj485 co...

RE: 6000xp bug in charge controller setpoint voltages with open loop

I have FINALLY found a combination of charge voltage setpoints that appear to give a "correct" CC-CV charge curve for LFP. I think EG4 still needs to ...

RE: 6000xp bug in charge controller setpoint voltages with open loop

these settings did not work by the way.... charge behavior showed that system ignored the EQ setting, and just stuck to a CV=54.5..... which results i...

@jarrett , thanks for followup... if and when a patch is ready to test, I am more than willing to be a beta tester and report results. The goal of cou...

@jarrett , great, I'd appreciate that. What I am looking for is the ability to set inverter charge setpoints such that I get a proper CC/CV charge cur...

@jpangburn ... not pointless to be concerned, but better to be educated. using LFP in cars is far different than solar; mostly because of the charge c...

@jpangburn if you are running with closed-loop rj485, and have successful communication, then setting battery type to Li (lifepower4) lets the batteri...

RE: 6000 XP set solar charge limit?

@jared , you gave an incorrect and incomplete response.... a. LFP charge curve *should* bulk charge to 56.2, and float at 53.5-54.0 for best results...

running off-grid, you really do want to charge to 100% every day possible to start the night with full batteries. A 'correct' charge curve for LFP bat...

Still, no response or followup ? very disappointed in EG4 at this point. I'm going to have to evaluate other inverters, or add external charge control...
