Hello Wrenches, Has anyone been able to get a CSW4048 inverter to work with battery type set to Lithium? When I try that it gives a F89 battery discharge over-current error within a few seconds. The battery is at 100% SoC and there was only the inverter idle loads present. The CSW manual

I have seen the same behaviour on a few older XW6048's as well - including my own. It will go into EQ mode after completion of Absorb charge, but voltage does not increase as programmed. Adjusting the absorb settings manually is a clumsy workaround. I assumed it's a software bug. Kevin

Yes, I’ve put a few systems together with these batteries, smaller ones. Some larger ones in the queue. The product itself seems well designed, and flexible for many different configurations – low or high voltage and scales from 1 to 100’s of batteries. The WiFi / Bluetooth software interface

Physically it is all the same. Software is way more complex. As Dave mentioned, you have to follow the commissioning process. AC1 will no longer accept generator input, it’s grid-only now. So if you have a genset you will need to move that to AC2. This is one of the most irritating changes

It’s a very poorly designed system. But it is possible to view the full error code on the webbox, but only while it is an active error. I don’t have a webbox online right now to advise exactly what parameter but it was near the bottom of the long list, and the description is not very precise.
