EG4 6000XP with an Eco-Worthy Battery Over CAN: What the Manuals Say and What We Saw

The 6000XP manual has a LuxPower battery brand code and Eco-Worthy's manual lists a LuxPower CAN protocol. What we set and saw.

What the manufacturer documents

The 6000XP manual's battery setting covers a lithium battery type and a battery brand entry, with examples of 0 for EG4, 2 for Pylon, 6 for LuxPower and 8 for Dyness. (eg4electronics.com)
Version note: the Eco-Worthy manual cited below is version 2.0, while the owner's battery is a PowerMega 314 version 1, so these Eco-Worthy statements may differ for our battery. (eco-worthy.com)
The Eco-Worthy PowerMega 314 manual (version 2.0) says that when batteries are used in parallel each is given an address on the BMS DIP switch, that address 1 is the host by default, and that not following the DIP switch settings will cause a communication fault between the battery and the inverter. (eco-worthy.com)
The same manual says the CAN interface has a default rate of 500K and is used to communicate with the inverter, and that when the battery is the host it summarizes the data from the other batteries for the inverter. (eco-worthy.com)
Its list of supported CAN protocols includes PYLON (the default), Victron, Luxpowertek and others. Its list of RS485 protocols also includes Luxpowertek. (eco-worthy.com)

What happened to us

We connected an Eco-Worthy PowerMega 314 version 1 battery (the model and version are the owner's confirmation) to an EG4 6000XP using the battery's CAN port and the inverter's communication port, not RS485, with an ordinary Ethernet cable. We checked that the cable's pins matched a standard cable and we did nothing special to it. (video)
On the battery's DIP switches we set the first switch up and the second, third and fourth down, which gave address 1. Out of the box ours did not appear to be set that way, and not noticing this cost us time. (video)
On the battery's display we selected CAN rather than RS485 and set the CAN protocol to LuxPower. (video)
After setting the CAN protocol we turned the battery's BMS off and on, as the owner confirms; the video describes waiting about five seconds in between. (video)
On the inverter we selected the lithium battery type and battery brand number 6, which the manual lists as LuxPower. The inverter reset. (video)
Afterwards the inverter and the EG4 monitoring app showed the battery at 99 percent charge, one battery in the system, a BMS charge limit of 92 A and a discharge limit of 195 A. The capacity shown was about 323 Ah although the battery is sold as 314 Ah. (video)

What the manuals say compared with what we set

Each row says where the point comes from
Setting	What the manuals say	What we set
Battery comms	The Eco-Worthy manual describes a CAN interface at 500K for the inverter	CAN, not RS485
Battery CAN protocol	The Eco-Worthy manual lists Luxpowertek among its CAN protocols	LuxPower
Inverter battery brand	The 6000XP manual lists 6 as LuxPower	6
Battery address	The Eco-Worthy manual says address 1 is the host	First switch up, the other three down

What we did not verify

We found no document from EG4 or Eco-Worthy that states this battery and inverter are compatible; the match is our reading of two manuals that each list a LuxPower setting.
We tested one battery only, not several in parallel.
The BMS limits and capacity shown may change with the battery's state, and we did not check them against the battery's figures.
This note leaves out the battery's menu-access procedure and any passcode.
The documented items come from Eco-Worthy's version 2.0 manual; the owner's battery is a version 1 PowerMega 314, so the manual we read may differ from the one for our battery.
In the video we said the battery was 214 Ah at the start; the owner confirms it is a PowerMega 314 version 1, which is sold as 314 Ah.
In the video we also said that if you do not want communication the inverter can be set to lead-acid with values entered by hand. The transcript does not establish that we tried that, and we have not checked it against a manual.

Questions and answers

Does EG4 say the 6000XP works with Eco-Worthy batteries?

We found no EG4 statement to that effect. The 6000XP manual lists LuxPower as a battery brand setting.

What does Eco-Worthy's manual say about CAN protocols?

It lists several, including Luxpowertek, with PYLON as the default, and describes the CAN interface as 500K.

Which battery address did we use?

Address 1, which Eco-Worthy's manual describes as the host.

Should I ask the manufacturers before combining these two?

We found no statement from EG4 or Eco-Worthy that this pairing is supported, so they are the ones to ask.
