Just recieved the EG4 battery rack and 6 batteries from Signature Solar. This video shows unboxing and installation of the batteries to the rack.

Good job getting the battery bank together.

Thank you sir!

Nice job on the upgrade! We did four of these in the rack and they've been super solid all winter. I did add a 400amp t class fuse like Dave Poz.

I'm a truck driver but the few days a month that I'm home I'm living off grid with solar. I used the leaf modules so far but I'm wanting the batteries like you have. One of my friends has 8 eg4 like those and he loves them

I've only put them in the rack right now. I still have to install them to my system, that will be in another video. I'm excited to see how they perform.

Congrats. Mine was "free" during their six-battery bundle sale. My casters are white...yours look like an improvement. Also the handle is black, mine is steel (will paint it black). Good luck with your new battery system!

I got my batteries in January sale with a free welded rack. Totally fine rack but bus bars were a mess .Got all issues sorted finely . Been up & running about 2 weeks what a huge difference from agm batteries I had prior. Also dip switches had to be flipped Opposite as to what was shown in the download To show up on laptop wasted days on that part. Just hit 5 years offgrid in TN.

[@Offgridmountainlife1]

I have seen all the different buss bars from other videos. I was glad I got these but I was prepared to have to make some modifications. What do you mean you had to put the dip switches opposite? Like the master on the bottom?

[@TheKiloG69]

@@Offgridmountainlife1 I had to set my dip switches the exact opposite of what we're shown on download. Maybe they will put it upside down.

Looking good, I hope it works well for you.

I have the same batteries and rack. With the way they installed the side rails holding the battery shelves, there was not enough room to put the rear panel on. I had to remove the two side panels, move the mounting rails forward by two holes and reinstall everything. The only issue was that the 3 ears on each of the side rails would not be able to screwed in. Not impressed with Signature Solar's quality control. The prices were great though.

[@Offgridmountainlife1]

Yeah from other videos it seems the rack is always changing. But on the positive side all the tear down videos of the batteries seem to all be very quality and consistent. That’s really all I care about.

[@thumbless66]

When I put mine together the top three I had to lift the batteries to get them to line up.

[@yankey4]

Love it brother. May I suggest turning down the music in your intro. Those are nice. One day I would like to buy around 12 or so of those. Thanks for sharing. Hope you post more videos. God Bless.

[@Offgridmountainlife1]

I will make sure to do that for the next videos. I don’t think I can do it on this one since it’s already posted. Yeah I plan to get up to 12 over the next couple years. Nice thing about LIPO is you can add as you go.

[@glennboulton399]

Good show...Had simular issue mounting....try different position of Battery Mount Bracket.....ie 180 each...how else to explain.

[@robf.598]

Some of the holes in my rack didn't line up perfectly with the batteries either. I ended up taking a step bit and drilling out the holes in the brackets a little bit until I could get the holes lined up.

[@user-dc2ot2tj2b]

it looks good but now i like to see it build to 400 volt

[@leafnutz2341]

Once again, signature solars racks leave a lot to be desired in terms of fit and finish.

[@Offgridmountainlife1]

yeah but unless you are moving it around a lot its really not that bad. especially for the price!
