@@Jasonoid Thanks so much for providing this video and the parts list. I got 2 Anker Solix F3800 for my home, and I did not realize that I cannot charge them with AC while powering the house with 240V and the power switch. Much appreciated. My only concern is the price of the EG4 Chargeverter. Would you happen to know of a product that can do the same thing (produce over 1,000 watts) at a lower price?

[@djrtime1398]

I have an Anker f3800 and a 51.2v 100amp server battery. I charge both simultaneously with one 120v ac to 51.2v dc 30amp smart charger. I simply hook the charger leads to the cables on the server battery and branch of of that connection to the f3800 via an xt60 connector. Works beautifully and charger shuts down when both units are fully charged.

[@BackyardMaine]

With the home power panel and an inverter generator you can charge the unit back up similar to the way it charges when power returns after an outage. I found out the hard way that they will not charge at all through the 120v plug when connect through the home power panel. Like you I figured out that you loose 240v when charging through the 120v plug when connected through the power block like you demonstrated in the video. Nice job with your presentation.

[@kerryjohnson7364]

Jason, I watched your video on the chargeverter plugged into the solar input of the anker unit. So would it be possible to use this same setup plugged out of the ac of a delta pro (Edison plug or 30 amp output )to the solar input of the 6000xp inverter as well? As you know, if I were to charge the 6000xp with 110ac from generator port or whatever, it disables one of the legs of the output. I am using just now installing the 6000 xp to supplement my house power but already have a Ecoflow delta pro with 2 batteries I would like to use for extra capacity for the 6000xp. So my question is, can I have the chargerverter plugged into my delta pro ac out and then adapt the other end into the one of the pv inputs of the 6000xp???? Additionally then I could still run solar into the other pv input as well. Thanks.

[@Jasonoid]

Unfortunately the EG4 6000xp requires at least 100vdc input DC to start charging and it prefers at least 120vdc of solar or battery voltage. Connecting the chargeverter up to the 6000xp solar input won't work properly....but that's not how you should connect up the chargeverter anyways. What you could do to use the extra power in your Delta Pro is it take the chargeverter and power it up with your Delta pro inverter with the 30 amp RV port and then connect the DC output of the chargeverter directly to your 48v battery terminals of your 48v system. The chargeverter is designed to charge a 48v battery directly so use it like that.

[@kerryjohnson7364]

@ this is kind of what I figured. Last question, If I have a couple batteries connected together to the 6000xp, Will the chargeverter still charge them together? If the communication port is connected to the inverter, it wouldn’t be connected to the chargeverter so I’m guessing I would set chargeverter parameters on how to charge??

[@Jasonoid]

@@kerryjohnson7364 if the batteries are connected in parallel to the 6000xp, they will charge together if you connect the chargeverter to them. Set the charging parameters of the chargeverter to the specs of the batteries listed in their owners manual. Then the chargeverter will stop at the proper voltage. No communications cable needed. Also remember that the battery bms will keep the batteries from charging too high if you program something wrong.

EG4 has some really innovative products that are quite affordable. The Anker F3800 is still the king of all in one split phase products even with the qwerky 120 VAC charging problem and this EG4 chargeveter is a great solution. While the EcoFlow Delta 3 Pro is a very capable all in one, the 4KW output is a serious limitation (single unit) when compared to the F3800's 6KW split phase output which can run most 25 amp loads while the Delta Pro 3 cannot even run a 20 amp load (the same for Jackery's upcoming 4000 King product). 6KW is really the sweet spot for 240 split phase and the Anker Solix F3800 is the only reasonable priced single box solution.

I haven’t had the time or figured out how to connect my dual F3880 batteries with the HPP control to my existing Enphase solar array. I did have an old beast of a gas generator that isn’t likely to have a good sine wave output so I thought I would need to junk it and buy a new inverter generator but seeing how the EG4 will cope with less-than-ideal sine wave input and since my generator has the 240 output I think your timely video has shown me why I need to consider buying an EG4 chargeverter. Great video, thanks in advance.

[@GordLamb]

I find it pretty astonishing that someone at Anker signed off on this product design. I come from a datacenter background; the idea of a power supply randomly shutting off the output when an input is attached is pretty wild. That you can't charge the unit while maintaining its core functionality is even more wild. Still, the EC4 seems like a pretty solid SMPS.

[@testchannelcomments8219]

It can still supply 120v while charging from AC. However the other 1/2 of the 120 can either charge or be used for 240 just not both at the same time. Wish it could do both.... but then would need a 3rd inverter

Cool video idea if you're interested. Off grid setup, using one Anker f3800 with the tranfer switch from them. But instead of using Ankers expansion battery, you get s server rack setup. I'm wanting to go this route and leaning towards the smaller Eg4 solar charge controllers which are $400 I think so I can get more solar up. Basically just charging the f3800 from the server rack battery with one input while the other 1,200w input has solar. Showing the wiring, how to use server rack battery would cool to see.

[@Jasonoid]

I show how to use 48v batteries on the Anker F3800 here in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfPg56Dop2lesU It's an excellent way to get more capacity at a great price!

[@skipchang]

@@JasonoidThat video gave me the idea of creating the following system for when the power goes out during the storm (I live in SW Florida): rack of 48V batteries -> pair of F3800 -> Smart Home panel. I’m planning on using the Chargeverter to charge the batteries when they go low. I’m unable to put permanent solar panels on the roof for many reasons. I’ll have several “portable” panels to pull out when the power goes out. Not being able to have a common ground for the two MPPT charge port will be a big issue for me. I’m hoping your contact with Anker will force them to update the firmware to allow that. Thanks again for continuing this thread.

[@JosephLeRoy-i7d]

Thank you for the video! I have a similar problem, but I have two Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus generators (with 4 expansion batteries) connected to two Jackery 200W Solar Panels each (4 total). I combine the two solar generators using the "Jackery Connector" (I know, terrible name for the connector) to get 240V output to supply the necessary voltage for my water well. Similar to the solar generator in your video, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Solar Generators disable the 240V output when charging them from AC power. The 240V stays on when charging from Solar Panels. This isn't at my home, but out at my ranch (offgrid/rugged) - So, to charge the units when the sun is blocked or it is night, I purchased a Champion 11,000W gas/propane generator. I then discovered (when trying to charge the Jackery Solar Generators) that the Jackery Solar Generators will not charge from a dirty power source (they shut off AC power input). So I purchased a WEN 3600W dual fuel pure sinewave inverter generator to charge the two Jackery Solar Generators. I then found that the Jackery Solar Generators do not have a way to throttle the charge rate when connected to AC (there is a quiet mode), which exceed the capacity of the 3600W WEN (I can only charge one solar generator at a time). Its like every solution brings a new problem on and on and on... I have ordered the EG4 based on your video. I hope to connect it to the Champion Dual Fuel Generator so that I can charge both Jackery Solar Generators at the same time (though, for the price of the EG4, I could have bought a second WEN generator, but then I would double my propane use... Well... The Champion generator probably uses 2x the fuel as the efficient WEN already, but at least I will only need to start one generator, instead of two... I hope..). Now, after watching your video on the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus (5K), I am thinking of buying that, using one of the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus (2K) units to charge the 5k, using the second 2k to charge the first 2k (or maybe use it somewhere else), tossing out the Jackery Connector completely, using the EG4 to charge the 2k from the Champion 11,000W generator. But, maybe doing it like this, I could just use the WEN 3600. I have wasted SOOO much time, effort, and money learning what the Jackery User Manual should have clearly stated right at the start.

Would it have worked at 240volts if you had left the dog bone adapter with the 240 volt female end on it the way it comes from Amazon?

I have the Echo Flow Duel Fuel 4000 and was planning on purchasing one of those adapters so I could connect to my Reliance Controls PB30 NEMA 3R Power Inlet Box with a standard L14-30 generator cable.

Quick Question If two F3800's are hooked up with the Anker Smart Panel is there still a charge issue trying to charge the two F3800 with AC with a Gen available ?

[@davidparsons5513]

I posed this to Anker support. My solution, which they said will work fine as long as the genny has a very low THD or is an inverter type, is to wire up the F3800s with the Home Smart Panel like usual, but also install a generator input and interlock on your main breaker box. When the F3800s are getting low on power, plug in the genny, flip the interlock to genny input. The genny will now supply power to the house, the F3800s will go back into standby and charge from the genny. When fully charged, turn off the genny and the F3800s will come online to provide power. Another advantage to this is when the genny is running, it will power the high demand devices that you did not cut over to the transfer switch.

This will work in the same fashion for charging the AC200max. Similar settings should be fine. It will charge a little slower than what is shown in this video. The AC200max has a 15 amp input limit so the charging speed will be around 800 watts around 54v (54v X 15a = 810)

[@AdamDeLayDIY]

Interesting idea. While I don't like it, I get why the 240v outlet shuts off because typically when you're on AC IN power, it just passes power through the power station to handle the loads and any excess power goes into the battery. Have you charged the power station up to 100% with the chargeverter? I know that some MPPTs short the positive and negative connections together when the battery gets full and charging is supposed to stop. If that happened in this case, I would assume that the breaker on the chargeverter would just trip, but I would hate for something to short out completely.

[@Jasonoid]

I have never heard of the postive and negative being shorted out when it's finished charging. That would lead to bad things, even with solar panels! The charging process is controlled with a relay to turn it on and off.

@@Jasonoid that’s actually how Victron charge controllers work. It’s not an issue for solar panels but If you try to connect a battery or other charger to the mppt, it can go poof!

i am a newby here but if you have solar and are getting a 48v battery anyway, a hybrid inverter like the EG4 EVH 3000 might be a better add since it is not that much more than the price of the chargeverter and can accept more solar to charge the system through the 48v battery.

[@Jasonoid]

I suggested using a 48v battery as a DIY expansion battery in this video since you can charge the 48v battery with whatever charging source, not limited to 60v. The chargeverter is even better then as you mentioned! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfPg56Dop2lesU

[@JimmyPhones1]

The problem with those power supplies is their very low Power Factor. The chargeverter has a very high power factor. When you run the SMPS power supply at 1150W off of 120V AC input, you actually are pulling about 18A instead of the 9-10 you would expect.

[@AntneR1]

Really enjoy your content. Was hoping you could answer this question? I have the typical HPP and F3800 setup. I removed 15 critical circuits from my main panel and moved them to the Eaton subpanel. Installed 90 amp breaker in main panel to feed Anker HPP with F3800 attached to it. If I isolate the main panel by turning off the 90 amp breaker to the HPP, will I be able to charge my F3800 with its 120V power cord(with clean sine wave power) and still send power to my subpanel? I'm aware that the 240V outlet disconnects if you try to power F3800 with power cord. I ask because I wasn't aware until recently that you need an inverter generator to charge up the F3800 and I only have a Firman 7500W Dual Fuel generator that backfeeds into my main panel. Instead of spending $465 on a chargeverter that will only give me 1150W via solar port I hoping buying a 2000W quiet inverter generator that outputs 1800W thru the F3800 power cord for the same money would be a better move. What do you think?

[@Jasonoid]

You can always try it out to see what happens. I'm not sure how every single scenario would work on this product I can't say either it would work or not.

[@robertfitch1625]

Can you use this on a standard 15A 120v circuit/plug with the correct adapter?

[@dieselguy440]

I would also like to use a small Honda 2200i inverter to do this.

[@joshshroll497]

I wired this up as you showed in the video. It worked great with just using one of the XT60 pigtails but when I connect to a 2nd F3800 the voltage drops, the chargeverter fans really kick on and it will only draw a few hundred watts a piece. Any thoughts ? Is the cable not large enough ? Or is it something with the chargeverter ?

[@Jasonoid]

For two F3800s you'll need to set the amperage to 50 amps instead of 25 amps seen in the video. Each power station pulls 25 amps.

[@joshshroll497]

Great thank you 👍

[@Ghost_of_Matair]

The Jackery explorer 5000 plus seems to have a similar limitation with the input amperage through a single port. would it be possible to have a test of the jackery's low pv ports done to see if it rejects Y splitting of the input?

[@psm2000ut]

This is great. I’m going to follow this. Q: where and how do you use the fuse? I do not see it in the video! Also is there a way to just join ring terminals without cutting the provided wire? Thanks.

[@Jasonoid]

The fuse can be on the positive output wire of the Chargeverter for extra safety if you want. The Chargeverter has a built in DC circuit breaker and the power station has short circuit protection so it's probably not needed.

[@robertfitch1625]

I'm looking at using a smart Nema 14-50 splitter/switch to use one outlet for my Level 2 EV charger as well as the chargeverter. Does the chargeverter switch stay in the "on" position? That way it will turn itself on and start charging as soon as the EV is finished.

[@criticalhadlock886]

Jason, will you do the same video and show the same process for how to modify the chargeverter’s output to be compatible for the ecoflow delta pro ultra ? Basically, how do you get the chargeverter’s output to go to MC4 cables.

[@Jasonoid]

The Delta Pro Ultra can just charge straight from a generator and get 240v output at the same time. No chargeverter needed.

[@criticalhadlock886]

But what about the “dirty” potentially non-pure sine wave energy from a standard generator. Wouldn’t the chargverter make sense there? I can understand skipping the chargverter if I had an inverter generator. But a standard generator makes me a little nervous to charge my DPU directly

[@Jasonoid]

@@criticalhadlock886 in that case, yes this would work on the low PV input for about 800 watts charging. I wish the Delta Ultra had a higher amperage input for the low PV, but it's only 15 amps. So it would charge a bit slower than the Anker power station. It might be better instead spending the $500 getting a decent dual fuel pulsar gx400bn inverter generator vs the chargeverter. 800w is pretty slow charging for the Ultra.

I have seen a couple people build this system with 2 bus bars instead of cutting the included cords for new adapters. Just put the chargeverter o-ring onto the bus bars with 2 o-ring to xt60 coming of the bus bar to the 3800's. Would there be any issues with this set up? I think 1 had a 90amp breaker feeding the red lines.

[@Jasonoid]

Even if you used two separate buss bars the grounds would still be the same since they are coming from the chargeverter as a source. If you wanted to charge with double the speed I think you'd have to have two chargeverters, each one connected independently.

Sad if you consider that a Delta3 plus can charge nearly as fast as that anker setup😅😅😅 I control a 48V relay to feed power to my Delta 2 Max from my 48V server rack battery, I moved all the solar off of the D2M and added it to a Victron 100/20. I can charge my Delta 2 Max with 2 EBs with 4000+watts of solar, I also have another array on a 150/70, the battery absorbs the excess while the D2M takes in 1000W continuously. The relay is controlled based on the battery SOC through a node red script controlling the relay output on the CerboGX, much better than using the built in MPPTs directly with the solar.

Crazy idea... Can you wire the two XT60 inputs in series and charge the F3800 at 120V DC with one Chargeverter? If this is possible then it would also allow you to use a 120V solar array (gamechanger)

[@Jasonoid]

Nah, the solar ports only take 60v input limit and the chargeverters don't accept a series wiring. Would have been sweet though!

[@maksymmoros555]

@Jasonoid I reached out to Anker asking the same thing. Their response was... Interesting. They said they "don't recommend wiring the XT60 ports in series". Definitely not a flat no... Out of curiosity, what does the chargeverter have to do with my question? Maybe I didn't explain myself well. What I meant is, hypothetically: chargeverter set to 120v output over one cable. That single cable connects to both XT60 ports in series. I.e. distributing 60v to each XT60 port (ideally). Obviously the impedance across both XT60 ports would have to be identical to each other, otherwise you could get, for example, 50v and 70v. I assume behind the curtains the XT60 ports should have the same impedance, I just don't have an F3800 handy to test the theory.

Thanx! I saw the voltage charge levels changed with the latest upgrades, but missed that it was now as low as 15 volts. Makes non-Anker solar panel hookups easier. On the note of charging: I had my Anker set for max charge (1800w) for the 120VAC input, and plugged it in to charge. After a while, the ends of the charge cord were really hot, so I lowered the charge rate to around 800 watts. After some checking, realized the supplied charge cord only uses 14 gauge wire and I was plugged into a 15A wall outlet. At 1800 watts, you're right at the 15 amp max of both the outlet and the cord. Too close. Today I'm building a beefier cord with 12 gauge wire and 20 amp connectors to be used only on a 20 amp outlet. At 1800 watts (15A), it's now charging at 75% of the circuit rating rather than 100%.
