Fuzzy memory here. It had to do with a setting that should have been
adjustable but wasn't. I think the voltage start won't trip until
the voltage goes below the re-bulk voltage (not adjustable - it was
designed for lead acid). Obviously it depends on the firmware
version, the lithium compatible firmware doesn't have that problem.<br>

A Morningstar relay driver makes for a suitable AGS as an
alternative.<br>

I've connected other LFP batteries to the Magnasine. It is
possible to make the charger settings all work but it is
difficult to get the AGS settings right for a start voltage.
There is a "lithium compatible" firmware version for the
remote, but good luck at find one of those for now.<br>
The elephant in the closet with the Magnasine is that if the
system goes through a power-on cycle with the remote detached,
then the inverter operates with its default settings.<br>

<div>Hi, Mechanix~ A longtime client has a Magnasine 4024
inverter/charger, PT-100 charge controller, BMK battery
monitoring kit & the ARC Advanced Remote with 4.0
firmware.</div>
<div>He'd like to upgrade from L-16 floodies to five of
the EG4 LL24V 200 AH batteries in a cabinet. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've reviewed the EG4 info for care & feeding,
alongside various menus in the Advanced Remote manual,
and it looks like the Magnum setting ranges are
compatible. Before shipping out the money,</div>
<div>I'd like to know any feedback from the Wrenches about
how things are working when these product families are
combined. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At times I've noticed strange behavior with the
Magnasine inverters during charge cycles. As I recall,
the units jump from Bulk to Float soon after generator
driven charging gets under way. For clients with old or
compromised lead acid floodies, I've occasionally set
Float and Bulk to the same target voltage. These are off
grid setups where the generator noise keeps the client
aware that charge is underway. Most of these clients
don't have the generator automated, which is also true
for my 2025 EG4 customer.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I won't try that "Float @ Bulk voltage" trick with
lithium, of course. Any & all war stories would be
welcomed. As always, "The Wrench List is the Bomb!"</div>
