What types of EG4 batteries are available?
EG4 offers several lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery models, including the LifePower4, LL-S, WP series, PowerPro WallMount & Wall-mount Indoor Battery with capacities ranging from 100-400Ah and voltages of 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V.
How long do EG4 batteries last?
EG4 batteries are designed for a long lifespan, with some models like the LL-S rated for over 7,000 deep cycles and a 10-15 year design life when properly maintained.
What is the depth of discharge (DoD) for EG4 batteries?
Most EG4 lithium batteries allow 80-99% depth of discharge, meaning nearly all the rated capacity is usable. This is much higher than lead-acid batteries.
Are EG4 batteries compatible with popular solar inverters?
Yes, EG4 batteries can connect with many common off-grid inverters using built-in communication protocols. The LifePower4 and LL series are plug-and-play with inverters from brands like Sol-Ark, Outback, and Victron.
What safety features do EG4 batteries have?
EG4 batteries have integrated battery management systems (BMS) that protect against over-charging, over-discharging, short circuits, and extreme temperatures. Some models also feature emergency stop functionality and on-board fire suppression.
Can I connect multiple EG4 batteries together?
Yes, EG4 batteries like the LL-S model support connecting up to 64 units in parallel to increase overall storage capacity while maintaining BMS communication between the batteries.
How do I monitor the performance of my EG4 battery?
Many EG4 batteries have built-in LCD displays and communication ports that allow monitoring through PC software or mobile apps. This lets you track real-time metrics like voltage, current, state of charge, and temperature.
What is the warranty on EG4 batteries?
Warranty terms vary by model, but most EG4 batteries are backed by a 5-10 year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship when used properly.
Can I use EG4 batteries for applications besides solar?
While optimized for solar, the deep-cycle properties of EG4 lithium batteries make them suitable for other applications like RV/marine, backup power, off-grid, and remote industrial uses.
What is the proper charging and discharging procedure for EG4 batteries?
Consult the specific product manual, but in general, EG4 batteries should be charged to the recommended voltage and current limits using a compatible charger. Avoid fully discharging lithium batteries and do not operate outside the rated temperature range.
