Total E-Stop, CAN Communication, and More! | 5 Feature Updates to the EG4 LiFePower4 48V (Version 2)

Would be neat to have rack mount batteries with heaters built in :)

[@TRYtoHELPyou]

NICE! I may add more to my current three. They are solid.

[@diySolarPowerFunWithRay]

Nice, aren't the fire arrestors also a new feature?

[@eg4electronics]

The fire arrestors have been a feature included in the Lifepower4 batteries for a while now, but the total e-stop shutdown was previously only available in our other batteries.

[@godelrt]

Does the total rapid shut down also work with Sol-ark?

[@matthewdimmick2503]

Is it compatible with the older model? Meaning can I mix/match with the V1 and still have it comm properly with the inverter?

[@eg4electronics]

Absolutely! I'm going to make a short video explaining the compatibility and how to integrate with existing battery banks, but in the meantime we have a paralleling guide available on our website using this link: eg4electronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/EG4-LifePower4-Connections-Paralleling-Guide.pdf

Does the rapid shutdown cut the older version batteries when run in parallel as a master battery? I'm glad to hear about the rapid shutdown feature. It's required almost everywhere and is important for fire fighter safety.

​@@robinthurston3382 The RSD will work normally on the Lifepower4 and older batteries when paralleled.

[@robinthurston3382]

@@eg4electronics that's awesome!
