Hello Bobro, There are three setting under setting 6. The setting I have for setting #6 Ic 125 amp charge. #6 Iac is set to 1 amp. This would only limit ac charge to 1 amp not pv charge. The third setting for #6 I9c is set to 20 amp. This is the max for the generator input.

If you enter the menu and arrow up to number 6 each time you press enter it will cycle through the three settings.

Also in your previous post you stated you were having the exact same problem. Is this the charging discharging or both? Also can you provide some details on your setup. Number of inverters, batteries (capacity) brand and model would help.

  1. Hi Jared thanks for responding. I did finally talk to someone at eg4 on phone and he also explained the three settings me in #6, so I did set the iac to 0 amp but am still withe same issue. 
  2. I have four new 100 amp lipo redodo batteries that preform well giving me about six hours of power after sun goes down, but then is when I have the cycling problem. It still appears to be recharging the batteries,  but only enough that the system then switches to the batteries and they only last a minute or less, then the cycle. So I have just been shutting the battery breaker off as this doesn't seem good but not sure how to resolve it.

@bobro Do you have the wifi dongle setup to be able to use the website monitoring? There are a lot of setting and it can be easy to missing going through the onboard menu. But I do have a few suggestions.  

Based on the batteries you are using 4 x(12.8 volt 100amp hour) batteries wired in series you have a 51.2v 100amp hour pack that has a total of 5,120 watts of power. Using the 80% rule you have about 4,000 watts of useable capacity. Your batteries are lithium iron phosphate and they have a much flatter voltage curve meaning that 70% of the available power is between 51-54 volts.

I would recommend raising your EOD(on grid end of discharge) voltage to 48-50v. This is setting #11. Once you get to less than 25% capacity remaining on your pack the voltage will drop fast even under light loads. Once the disconnect voltage is reached and the load is removed the voltage will recover a good bit and if the inverter is charging the pack the voltage will raise fast and is easy to get to the +3v from disconnected voltage and that can cause the cycling effect.

Also if you are wanting to disable your AC charging Setting #14 AcCh: should show diS for disabled.. If you can't get this setting you can try the website. Go to the maintenance tab and read the setting from your inverter. It is easier to see all the setting. I hope this helps
