You will enjoy the 6000xp's for sure! Mine have been great

I really like this EG4 6000XP. About the only thing that I really wish they would do, is to drop the MPPT minimum voltage to 48v. I can re-punch the holes, but yea, it would be nice if those were USA spec. Thanks for the great initial overview/review.

Will be nice to see this installed and reviewed!

Anyone know how I can charge this battery if it dies? I don’t know anything about this battery so if you can tell me the name or a link or something

I take it, this is a high frequency inverter?

Seems like a good inverter I am installing 3 in parallel next week. There are so many great CZcamsr sharing there install videos and I am so grateful. Thank you for sharing.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

Boy when you think about it these inverters have come a long way in 5 years

Lithium Solar, cool video keep up the amazing content

Watch "6000xp is not UL9540 certified. YOU CANNOT LEGALLY install in the US along with solar panels" on CZcams to learn why you might want to reconsider buying this inverter.

Good video. I noticed the same with the number of inductors. Likely why they seem to be able to handle surges so well.

Have you had a chance to charge the battery with a "regular old school" generator? How well does the gen input handle the dirty power? Thanks!

I've been watching you for a while and enjoy your videos. I am not as advanced as you and have been toying with the idea of building a portable diy server rack battery using the EG4 off grid inverter. It is yellow and black. Just needed to run the fridge when we loose grid power on occasion. This EG4 6000xp seems to offer more bells and whistles than the one I am thinking of buying. Would it be overkill to use the EG4 6000 over the off grid Eg4. Thank you.

The EG4 6000XP Has been out for some while and I appreciate the chance to get a good look inside. Thumbs up 👍

Thanks for the run through of this inverter. Have your ever looked at the AC output on an oscilloscope to see how clean it is? It would be interesting to see the output of this compared to a Solark or Victron or Growatt. I enjoy your videos.

The first step I would have performed would be to flip that EG4 cover in order to make the presentation look more uniform. Great overall. Thanks for the presentation.

Do you have any experience with the scroll wheel not working properly. Mine doesn't work as it should. Have you replaced one? I have read it could be just a loose ribbon connector. I haven't taken mine apart but I was trying to see the ribbon connector in your video for the scroll wheel. Thanks!

Would this run a pool filter system?

Now to find simular components in the Philippines.......

Well crap. When you said you were going to "BUILD" a 48v off-grid battery., I kinda expected an actual build. It is boring watching someone toss some factory purpose-built batteries/and inverter. Pretty sure shipping is a basic skill. I do however like the hand truck rework. PS: After going to that extent and cost, why don't you add a "soft start" for the heavy amo start up loads? It will extend the life of the battery and especially the inverter.

I have 2 parallel strings in series. I imagine I would have to buy two of these?

recycled tesla cells yo

"Chinglish" leads to funny wording. My favorite part is when they say "follow assembly rules for you will be doomed" 😂. I'm sure English sounds funny to Chinese people.

it's an epidemic of fake goods from china

A gas powered generator is far better and cheaper.

I believe your definition of DIY is quite loose my good sir😅.. great build...

Why don't they make IP67 housings? So I can use in my camper in Germany.

Great 👍 stuff..

How am I just seeing this! Great step by step for the first timer wannabe portable electronics guy like me. Can’t wait to watch some more of the videos. Glad I found here!

Hygrometer. It's for measuring humidity in the air. Hydrometer is a different instrument. It measures specific gravity of liquids. Often used in distillation, beer making and wine making.

It would be nice if shipping costs were factored in. I wanted an EG4 till I saw the shipping was over $300 for a single battery. Bought another brand with free shipping. After getting the other one I got an ad from a company with free shipping on EG4s but they are out of stock for a month.

Do you have diagram of the connection of this portable solar generator

Is it UL listed.

They are great batteries. You can keep taps on the cell packs via Bluetooth.

Good morning. Can you help my mpp solar inverter screen blind when I go in the program mood? Can you give me the company

I don't see a lot of use for this if its back up house power it doesn't need to be portable, as a portable its over kill and heavy

230 v system? grounding no grid mid jungle here

I’m considering buying one to run my fish finder and trolling motor on my kayak. Does anyone in the comments have any experience using this battery for similar applications?

Great v.

What is the absorption time on this battery? You need to know this information to hook it up to your charge controller.

Just swapped in 4kwh of lifepo4 batteries, 4x 280ah eve cells. it was basically drop in. basically because of how unique the electrical system is in my 2013 chevy volt, I am confident it is a niche case where you can simply drop in an appropriately built DIY battery. expecting about 15 miles of additional range by eliminating the 12v parasitic loads. here is why every point you brought up does not apply 1. Chevy volt starts its gas generator with the high voltage battery and does not have a 12v starter motor 2. DIY battery i built does not have a BMS. instead it has a small active balancer which is basically dumb analogue and shouldnt fail. even if it does, it will take awhile for the cells to go out of balance 3. the battery is mounted in the trunk, its under the floor so its not exposed to heat from the engine 4. where i live it goes below freezing for a month or two each year so i installed a 15w silicone heating pad and wrapped it with copper tape around the battery and connected it to a 1$ thermometer relay in line with a PTC fuse just in case a relay sticks. this will keep the battery above freezing 5. the chevy volt doesnt have an alternator, instead it has a DC-Dc converter from high voltage battery to 12v system, so its not going to burn out anything. some challenges you didnt address but i solved 1. the chevy volt expects a lead acid range of voltages and can undercharge the battery and cause it to go dead/very low state of charge after a month or two of driving. I added 200w of flexible solar to my roof and wired it into an mppt charge controller (epever, 30a) and that should take care of all the charging for the 12v system since its set to the appropriate lifepo4 voltages. 2. im optimistic that with the solar panels adding about 1.5kwh per day and the battery offsetting the ~600w/hr parasitic load from the 12v systems, the high voltage battery will last longer and give me more EV only range. this was a helpful video to get my head wrapped around the challenges that need to be overcome. there is a mob of people online on yt and on forums that are all saying its impossible to do. from my estimation if i am successful I will be the first person who has found a meaningful way to extend my EV's range with a 12v system alone. time will tell. ill keep my old AGM battery and a jump start pack in my trunk for the next month or two just in case ;) the 4kwh battery cost 350$ to build (which is not much more than a replacement agm now days) the solar panels cost 70$, the mppt was 30$. this is all pre biden tarrifs that were announced last month. the ROI since im offsetting $4.50/gal gas in WA state is around 3 months for the solar panels (already done) and 5 cycles of the lithium batteries. planning on making a video which explains how i did everything since there is literally no other source online of other people that are successful in this regard.

Good job

Will this work for a car audio system

I have been told by a tech that hard water is a problem with the heating element

Bro! The diagram is GOLD! It's what got me out of a rut with trying to route that belt back on ! Thank you soo much! This is the video to watch if you're doing this job on an old Corolla !

Intentional chinese integrated engineering! Wake up!!!!!!!!

brother. Don't use a cart with pneumatic tires! In a grid down situation, you just screwed yourself.

"uh you can pretend this is a vice" got me 😂

Love where these cart builds are going. It's like the beginning of hotrodding all over again, same with ev swaps into old cars. Every one start learning to weld let's build America into a highly modified craftsmen culture it should be.
