Looking to see if anyone has gotten EG4 LL-S batteries and EG4 LifePower4 V1 batteries communicating with an EG4 6000XP inverter (or a 12K or 19k or the 12000XP).
I've updated my two older LL-S batteries with the latest multipack firmware and have them and two new LL-S batteries showing up in the 6000XP inverter. I have the newest LL-S batteries on the top of the rack and then the 2 older LL-S batteries. I have a fifth battery at the bottom that is a LifePower4 V1 battery. I've successfuly updated the LifePower4 V1 battery with the latest firmware (version 3.4). I'm using a modified communication cable with just pins 7 & 8 for communication between the 4th LL-S battery and the LifePower4 V1 battery. The pins on the LifePower4 are set to On/Off/On/Off for module 5.

The LifePower4 V1 is still not communication with the other batteries and the inverter. If someone has had success, perhaps they can help me and others.

Could you share a few pictures showing how the batteries are connected, the dip switch settings, and confirmation that the V1 is not communicating?

I think you should be able to zoom in on the cabinet and see the dip switch settings. LCD screen and screenshot of EG4 monitoring program show the 6000XP only recognizes the four LL-S batteries (400 AH) and not the LifePower4 V1 at the bottom which has dip switch setting of On/Off/On/Off. Updated LifePower4 V1 with "YS00_SW0340_HW0207_Update_NoDisVolt.binc".

If I connect the cable from the 6000XP to the LifePower4 V1 battery and change it's dip switch settings to Off/Off/Off/Off, the 6000XP does recognize the 100 AH.
