Hi William Jay is correct, rebulk will prevent a new bulk charge whether ac power is maintained or applied “cold”. It doesn’t make sense per our accepted and understood definition of rebulk, but we’ve seen this on every Radian/vfxr  installed with lithium.Adjust the rebulk up to just below the

Jay: Thanks for the reply. My understanding is that a new bulk process begins every time AC power is reapplied. Rebulk only applies if AC power is maintained after absorption completes. That’s not what is happening here. William Miller Miller Solar.com 805-438-5600 www.millersolar.com On Fri,

There is or was a setting in the mate 3/s that the rebulk volts has a trigger. If the voltage doesn’t get below it it won’t charge (absorb) properly. Fix is to set the rebulk up higher than the charge voltsI don’t know if that’s your issue or not but I have fixed this  on systems. JayOn Jan 12,

Good Morning Everyone, The graphs look like something is bypassing the absorb timers. I haven't been at Outback for a long time now, but from my experience, this can be caused by the FNDC, end amps programming of the FM Controllers, or the operating mode of the inverter. On the FM Charge

Jason Have installed the EG4 batteries in a non-rack mount when they were out of racks. Inexpensive metal racks from Home Depot or Lowes ( husky racks) could hold 4 to 6 batteries. A shelf is possible but the battery weighs 100+ lbs. They now have a wall mount system though it is roughly

I definitely considered this, but the EG4 100aH batteries are rack mount. I need to wall-mount a battery or put it on a small shelf. Jason Szumlanski Principal Solar Designer | Florida Solar Design Group NABCEP Certified Solar Professional (PVIP) Florida State Certified Solar Contractor CVC56956

I'm looking for a single battery meeting these specs to pair with an EG4 inverter for off-grid use. Anyone who knows someone who can ship me a single unit at a reasonable price, please let me know (off-list, ok). Thanks, Jason Szumlanski Florida Solar Design Group

William, This is a very timely question, I have been seeing the same thing. I also don't allow any Flexnet interference in charging. I went to investigate a site yesterday and figured this one out. It turned out that the Flexnet was uncalibrated by about 1V on the low side. This was a Lithium
