I recently installed two 6000xp's, 15k Ethos battery system, and purchased the EG4 chargeverter. It's not fired up yet as I'm finishing last few cable connections.... and need to set up the comms.
My question is can I connect the chargeverter to the inverter where the battery cables are connected to the inverter?

also.... the Ethos batteries have those little grounding screws.....I don't find info in the docs on what should be done with those.... just daisy chain them with some 16 or 18 awg and carry it to the inverter earth ground bus..... or to both inverter busses....? thanks....

I recommend installing an external bus for connecting the Chargeverter and battery, rather than connecting the Chargeverter directly to the battery terminals on the inverter.

@jared Would EG4 possible consider marketing a quick connect busbar with enclosure? I have seen one out there and that are pretty nice, but I think I would trust one branded and tested by EG4 over it.

Sometimes the easiest solution is the best solution.
Sometimes not.

@joel-brodeur It's definitely something that is being considered.

Hi again folks... It's been awhile but I'm just now getting around to officially firing up my system. (I had to concentrate on dealing with my cancer battle... Going on since 20019 surgery.) I used a nice buss bar from my eg4 distributer. Gotta set all the configure stuff and should be up and running. I'm gonna use the Chargeverter till I get some PV panels for now. A question that I have now is the precharge issue.... Does the bms on the ethos handle that precharge? Thanks for your time to help this old guy out..... Paulie

Got 'em hooked up and had no precharge issues.... Cool !! The settings on the 6000xp are a little daunting. Setting 1 for batteries.... Got the lithium part set but the "brand" is puzzling... How do I get the proper number designation that is required by EG4 for my Big Battery Ethos battery bank ?.... Thanks.... Paulie
