Beats me, but I'm not really experienced in this field

Thanks Terry, I'll look into that. I'm not that keen on adding new switches. I've already got a huge MTS to switch between grid and inverter EPS. And what's the point having an inverter with a second ac input if doesn't work unless you implement dry contact. I'm going to complain about this first.

Hi John and others, I've been in contact with Solax a number of times. They have confirmed that I can use the GEN port of my inverter only for a generator that supports Dry Contact communications. That rules out every simple generator and also V2L. And renders the GEN port of my top of the...

Thank you all very much for the detailed info. Much appreciated. I'm going to mull it over. It's all fairly new to me. I'll report back my progress.

@Everest Which LifePO4 charger would you recommend, suppose I want to power it from my MG4 V2L, which is limited to 2,2kW (~ 10 Amp at 217V AC) ? Would something like this work: LiFePO4 Charger (Fogstar Energy) - 48V 35A ? I need to connect the charger to the left view of pack (Solax...

I'll try to get solax to confirm this. I guess I must connect a charger to the free bat+ and bat- ports on the second battery pack.

I think it's master/slave, but the batteries level between themselves. Li-ion Solax-LV Max Charge Current: 50A Max Discharge Current :100A Bat Online Cnt : 2 Battery Parallel Mode :Converge Master/Slave Settings: Single Parallel Numbers : 0

@wattmatters Thanks for your explanation. Solax however claims you need to use their T-BAT-Charger, which is not compatible my LV inverter :-(

@Everest I just checked the voltage of the v2l. It's 217V ac. The grid reading is 248V. Is that difference within tolerances? Suppose I'm switching to an isolated charger, will my batteries (2x 5.3kWh Solax T-BAT-SYS-LV-D53 battterypack). allow a second dc input? Will that not interfere with...

They seem to be further now, but I'm going to check this with Solax and my mcs installer anyway. I'm pretty sure I've received two inverter firmware updates lately. Solax pushed the last one on the 23th. They claim that the gen port input is designed for diesel generators with ATS or dry-contact...

Not sure. tested both situations. In on-grid mode nothing to be seen on the inverter and the MG4 keeps discharging. In off-grid mode the inverter detects something but switches off the EPS (essential power supply) to the house and gets stuck in a checking status. Also in this case I see no...

My thought indeed, why wouldn't it work. In my manual Solax defines a Smart Load concept for the GEN port: The generator port has three options: • None: No device is connected to the generator port; • Load: The generator port is connected to a load; There are two types of Battery: Lead acid...

I do have a Solax X1-Hyb-6.0-LV-EU inverter with a GEN AC input port and a 2x 5.3kWh Solax T-BAT-SYS-LV-D53 battterypack. I was under the assumption that it would work out of the box (save some configuration) for my MG4. But unfortunately it does not work and Solax UK has confirmed that V2L is...

Excellent answer and explanation. And it works as you say. Thanks.

Thanks for the expanation. When I understand you correctly, you say leave AEB on but do not use ACC (except perhaps on motorways). And be careful with calibration, because it might get worse.

I tried it today and it works as you say. It's an easy workaround. Thanks very much for this tip. I think this is the best answer to my question.

I believe the car thinks he's the master. My start-up setting is : Default (set by the car). With other options: Always or If used on the last drive. I never tried other than Default. And I can also add that nightmode works fine in our other car using the same phones.

I have some issues with automatic switching between day and nightmode for Maps. During the day it works fine. When I enter a tunnel e.g. the Mg4 switches from day to night and back to day when there is enough daylight. Howeven when I start using Android Auto, Maps always starts in day mode...

Last saturday evening I was driving on a main road between Montrose and Arbroath. It was dark, very windy and wet. I was driving in adaptive cruise control (acc) mode and had automatic emergcy braking (AEB) on. The MG4 suddenly braked quite strongly but briefly on the approach of an oncoming...
