Glad it helped!

Your video is very useful. No one showed how to connect the inverter to the battery. It was especially useful to see the pinout of the communication cable. They are the best. Thank you

Your video was very helpful.
Ihad error 61 since i had no s cable. I used just simple ethernet cables without result's so i have buy one because i lost the one came the battery. I use Easun inverters and batteries and my new update is the SMW11kw its exactly like yous.

So in a pinch I can just see what the first two colors of the cable are cut it at the other end and connect those two colors to the three and five wires with twisties and plug it in?

[@dlya_svoih]

Is it better connect rs485 over one twisted pair or not?

[@mmbodnar]

Interesting that they don't specify a GND connection but some BMS do (Ruixu). BMS pin #3 to EG4/Voltronic/MPP pin #8 in that case

[@tgbatg]

Yeah thought so too.

[@jianchen690]

Are the Blue and orange lines RS485B and A?

[@mmbodnar]

on the inverter side pin #5 is A and pin #3 is B

The eg4 6500ex 48v inverters are no longer made!!

[@tgbatg]

Looks like they are back
