EG4 LifePower4 V2 Battery: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepower4-v2-lithium-battery-48v-100ah-server-rack-battery-ul1973-ul9540a-10-year-warranty/?ref=bkpkbxde
This episode we take a look at the brand new lifepower4 V2 battery from EG4. They have made significant upgrades on this battery from the version one and now it has better terminals, better BMS, more compatibility, Rapid shutdown capability, and also offers a 10 year warranty. All of these improvements I would not be surprised if they start no longer continuing with the LL battery because the V2 battery now bridges the gap between the lifepower4 for and the LL.

so this right here is eg4 life power 4 so this right here is eg4 life power 4 so this right here is eg4 life power 4 V2 and anecdotally speaking I believe V2 and anecdotally speaking I believe V2 and anecdotally speaking I believe this battery was probably the most this battery was probably the most this battery was probably the most popular bestselling 48 volt server wack popular bestselling 48 volt server wack popular bestselling 48 volt server wack battery on the market and that's just my battery on the market and that's just my battery on the market and that's just my opinion because I just see them opinion because I just see them opinion because I just see them everywhere I don't know if there's everywhere I don't know if there's everywhere I don't know if there's actual statistics of that or whatnot but actual statistics of that or whatnot but actual statistics of that or whatnot but anyways they took that battery and made anyways they took that battery and made anyways they took that battery and made some improvements to make the V2 version some improvements to make the V2 version some improvements to make the V2 version so in this video we're going to be going so in this video we're going to be going so in this video we're going to be going over you know the improvements that they over you know the improvements that they over you know the improvements that they made on that and this battery today made on that and this battery today made on that and this battery today because not only did they make because not only did they make because not only did they make improvements on it but they also improvements on it but they also improvements on it but they also increased the warranty period they're increased the warranty period they're increased the warranty period they're going to warranty this battery for while going to warranty this battery for while going to warranty this battery for while also keeping the price almost I believe also keeping the price almost I believe also keeping the price almost I believe exactly the same if not I think like $50 exactly the same if not I think like $50 exactly the same if not I think like $50 cheaper right now for a better battery cheaper right now for a better battery cheaper right now for a better battery so that's insane mainly because the so that's insane mainly because the so that's insane mainly because the prices of this stuff has been going down prices of this stuff has been going down prices of this stuff has been going down also at the same time the equipment or also at the same time the equipment or also at the same time the equipment or at least the technology battery or their at least the technology battery or their at least the technology battery or their offerings all that stuff has been offerings all that stuff has been offerings all that stuff has been getting better so I believe we're getting better so I believe we're getting better so I believe we're currently in a market where a lot of the currently in a market where a lot of the currently in a market where a lot of the technolog is improving while the cost of technolog is improving while the cost of technolog is improving while the cost of that technology Improvement is also that technology Improvement is also that technology Improvement is also going down so the time that we're in is going down so the time that we're in is going down so the time that we're in is insane but anyways let's get into this insane but anyways let's get into this insane but anyways let's get into this battery so first off let's go over some battery so first off let's go over some battery so first off let's go over some of the paperwork or the specs here real of the paperwork or the specs here real of the paperwork or the specs here real quick like I said this is a 48 volt quick like I said this is a 48 volt quick like I said this is a 48 volt battery and this battery is n or UL 1973 battery and this battery is n or UL 1973 battery and this battery is n or UL 1973 and UL 9540 a certified and they've also and UL 9540 a certified and they've also and UL 9540 a certified and they've also increased the warranty period on this increased the warranty period on this increased the warranty period on this battery to be 10 years the previous battery to be 10 years the previous battery to be 10 years the previous version I believe was like four or 5 version I believe was like four or 5 version I believe was like four or 5 years but now this is 10 years um if 10 years but now this is 10 years um if 10 years but now this is 10 years um if 10 years sounds familiar is mainly because years sounds familiar is mainly because years sounds familiar is mainly because they make a uh eg4 L version of this they make a uh eg4 L version of this they make a uh eg4 L version of this battery which kind of is like the long battery which kind of is like the long battery which kind of is like the long life version which they warranty for 10 life version which they warranty for 10 life version which they warranty for 10 years so I don't know if this means uh years so I don't know if this means uh years so I don't know if this means uh with all the improve they made and the with all the improve they made and the with all the improve they made and the warranty period they're eventually just warranty period they're eventually just warranty period they're eventually just going to be offering One battery and going to be offering One battery and going to be offering One battery and phasing that out is what I would imagine phasing that out is what I would imagine phasing that out is what I would imagine would make sense for them but like I would make sense for them but like I would make sense for them but like I said this is just stuff that's coming to said this is just stuff that's coming to said this is just stuff that's coming to mind nobody told me this no I didn't mind nobody told me this no I didn't mind nobody told me this no I didn't speak to any about this but it just speak to any about this but it just speak to any about this but it just makes sense to do that right so anyways makes sense to do that right so anyways makes sense to do that right so anyways uh let's get into it right so uh some of uh let's get into it right so uh some of uh let's get into it right so uh some of the improvements that they made right the improvements that they made right the improvements that they made right off the back is now they have these off the back is now they have these off the back is now they have these handles which are foldable okay and if handles which are foldable okay and if handles which are foldable okay and if you're looking at this handle and why you're looking at this handle and why you're looking at this handle and why does it look so weird it's because mine does it look so weird it's because mine does it look so weird it's because mine just happened to be damaged in chipping just happened to be damaged in chipping just happened to be damaged in chipping but it still works you know perfectly but it still works you know perfectly but it still works you know perfectly fine but the handle is now not permanent fine but the handle is now not permanent fine but the handle is now not permanent and is you know uh foldable right so and is you know uh foldable right so and is you know uh foldable right so that's one Improvement the second that's one Improvement the second that's one Improvement the second Improvement they made is you can see Improvement they made is you can see Improvement they made is you can see these terminal blocks and now they are these terminal blocks and now they are these terminal blocks and now they are massive previously it used to only be massive previously it used to only be massive previously it used to only be one terminal block and it used to be one terminal block and it used to be one terminal block and it used to be almost like a dinky little terminal almost like a dinky little terminal almost like a dinky little terminal block but now there's two of each right block but now there's two of each right block but now there's two of each right so there's two positives big ones right so there's two positives big ones right so there's two positives big ones right here and they do come with this little here and they do come with this little here and they do come with this little uh plastic cover thing in case you want uh plastic cover thing in case you want uh plastic cover thing in case you want to keep that around and two for the to keep that around and two for the to keep that around and two for the negative right there two massive negative right there two massive negative right there two massive terminal blocks huge improvements you terminal blocks huge improvements you terminal blocks huge improvements you know no one's going to going to complain know no one's going to going to complain know no one's going to going to complain everybody's probably going to agree everybody's probably going to agree everybody's probably going to agree that's huge because if you wanted to you that's huge because if you wanted to you that's huge because if you wanted to you know somehow daisy chain them in a way know somehow daisy chain them in a way know somehow daisy chain them in a way or make them parallel previously without or make them parallel previously without or make them parallel previously without uh having a bus bar system you would uh having a bus bar system you would uh having a bus bar system you would have to double tap one terminal for the have to double tap one terminal for the have to double tap one terminal for the next battery on right so this is huge next battery on right so this is huge next battery on right so this is huge also the other Improvement they made also the other Improvement they made also the other Improvement they made here is that now they have a dedicated here is that now they have a dedicated here is that now they have a dedicated breaker uh for flipping the or the breaker uh for flipping the or the breaker uh for flipping the or the connecting the the electrical part of connecting the the electrical part of connecting the the electrical part of the battery to whatever it is that you the battery to whatever it is that you the battery to whatever it is that you know you're connecting it to and now the know you're connecting it to and now the know you're connecting it to and now the breaker is not also serving as the BMS breaker is not also serving as the BMS breaker is not also serving as the BMS switch what I mean by that is they've switch what I mean by that is they've switch what I mean by that is they've added a dedicated BMS switch right here added a dedicated BMS switch right here added a dedicated BMS switch right here so this switch uh turns on and off the so this switch uh turns on and off the so this switch uh turns on and off the BMS uh while not this one controls the BMS uh while not this one controls the BMS uh while not this one controls the connection between the battery and you connection between the battery and you connection between the battery and you know whatever thing you're supplying uh know whatever thing you're supplying uh know whatever thing you're supplying uh but it's also a breaker so it's nice but it's also a breaker so it's nice but it's also a breaker so it's nice that they have a dedicated BMS switch that they have a dedicated BMS switch that they have a dedicated BMS switch because you know you don't have one because you know you don't have one because you know you don't have one thing doing both and sometimes you may thing doing both and sometimes you may thing doing both and sometimes you may want to just only turn on the BMS in want to just only turn on the BMS in want to just only turn on the BMS in case you wanted to do that you know but case you wanted to do that you know but case you wanted to do that you know but that's also a thing right so uh that's a that's also a thing right so uh that's a that's also a thing right so uh that's a huge Improvement the other huge huge Improvement the other huge huge Improvement the other huge Improvement uh which most people are Improvement uh which most people are Improvement uh which most people are going to appreciate is now they have a going to appreciate is now they have a going to appreciate is now they have a can bus connection and an rs485 can bus connection and an rs485 can bus connection and an rs485 connection previously the older connection previously the older connection previously the older generation life power 4 only had an generation life power 4 only had an generation life power 4 only had an rs485 connection so it couldn't do can rs485 connection so it couldn't do can rs485 connection so it couldn't do can uh bus Communications right so uh that's uh bus Communications right so uh that's uh bus Communications right so uh that's a huge Improvement also uh what they've a huge Improvement also uh what they've a huge Improvement also uh what they've added on this V2 version is now there added on this V2 version is now there added on this V2 version is now there are dedicated comp ports battery comp are dedicated comp ports battery comp are dedicated comp ports battery comp ports and if you're looking at this ports and if you're looking at this ports and if you're looking at this entire section right here and you're entire section right here and you're entire section right here and you're thinking wow that looks really familiar thinking wow that looks really familiar thinking wow that looks really familiar and you're thinking uh why is that is and you're thinking uh why is that is and you're thinking uh why is that is because this section is pro probably because this section is pro probably because this section is pro probably exactly the same as the eg4 let's just exactly the same as the eg4 let's just exactly the same as the eg4 let's just say LL battery or the Power Pro battery say LL battery or the Power Pro battery say LL battery or the Power Pro battery or the indoor wall mount battery right or the indoor wall mount battery right or the indoor wall mount battery right um so I believe and I can't say this for um so I believe and I can't say this for um so I believe and I can't say this for certain until we probably open it up or certain until we probably open it up or certain until we probably open it up or whatnot but I think they would imagin be whatnot but I think they would imagin be whatnot but I think they would imagin be using the same BMS system to do that and using the same BMS system to do that and using the same BMS system to do that and I think they are mainly because I've I think they are mainly because I've I think they are mainly because I've already in other previous videos already in other previous videos already in other previous videos connected this battery using the comp connected this battery using the comp connected this battery using the comp port to the uh eg4 indoor wallmount port to the uh eg4 indoor wallmount port to the uh eg4 indoor wallmount battery and it seems to work perfectly battery and it seems to work perfectly battery and it seems to work perfectly the same so I'm just going to go out on the same so I'm just going to go out on the same so I'm just going to go out on limb and then say that all right the limb and then say that all right the limb and then say that all right the other Improvement they made is now there other Improvement they made is now there other Improvement they made is now there are six dip switches for the ID are six dip switches for the ID are six dip switches for the ID connector which or the ID identifier connector which or the ID identifier connector which or the ID identifier which is mainly the uh the address you which is mainly the uh the address you which is mainly the uh the address you can really set on this battery so on the can really set on this battery so on the can really set on this battery so on the eg4 version one model there only four eg4 version one model there only four eg4 version one model there only four but now there are six and with six uh but now there are six and with six uh but now there are six and with six uh allows you to get up to 64 of these allows you to get up to 64 of these allows you to get up to 64 of these batteries uh independently addressed in batteries uh independently addressed in batteries uh independently addressed in one system so that's huge because uh one system so that's huge because uh one system so that's huge because uh I've seen a lot of pictures and videos I've seen a lot of pictures and videos I've seen a lot of pictures and videos of people having huge installations of of people having huge installations of of people having huge installations of these batteries and sometimes you cannot these batteries and sometimes you cannot these batteries and sometimes you cannot get all BMS Communications going because get all BMS Communications going because get all BMS Communications going because you know you can only be limited to four you know you can only be limited to four you know you can only be limited to four previously but now there is six right so previously but now there is six right so previously but now there is six right so that's another Improvement uh the other that's another Improvement uh the other that's another Improvement uh the other Improvement on here is now they have Improvement on here is now they have Improvement on here is now they have protocol switches here and they also protocol switches here and they also protocol switches here and they also have like smart linking and other uh have like smart linking and other uh have like smart linking and other uh things you can connect there right uh so things you can connect there right uh so things you can connect there right uh so you can control the protocol that it's you can control the protocol that it's you can control the protocol that it's talking to um and also do like smart talking to um and also do like smart talking to um and also do like smart link protocol which allows you to get link protocol which allows you to get link protocol which allows you to get into some of the advanced features but into some of the advanced features but into some of the advanced features but that is also huge right there okay the that is also huge right there okay the that is also huge right there okay the other thing they've made improvements on other thing they've made improvements on other thing they've made improvements on is there is now an LCD USB port and for is there is now an LCD USB port and for is there is now an LCD USB port and for all the information that I've looked for all the information that I've looked for all the information that I've looked for online um is that there is no online um is that there is no online um is that there is no documentation on what this is used for documentation on what this is used for documentation on what this is used for at this time but what I'm imagining is at this time but what I'm imagining is at this time but what I'm imagining is eventually they'll probably release some eventually they'll probably release some eventually they'll probably release some type of visual screen thing that you type of visual screen thing that you type of visual screen thing that you could connect to here that kind of shows could connect to here that kind of shows could connect to here that kind of shows you a display right of what's going on you a display right of what's going on you a display right of what's going on and you can connect to it mainly and you can connect to it mainly and you can connect to it mainly something similar to what the eg4 LL something similar to what the eg4 LL something similar to what the eg4 LL model would have uh you know it has a model would have uh you know it has a model would have uh you know it has a screen that tells you the the battery screen that tells you the the battery screen that tells you the the battery parameters and the stuff going in and parameters and the stuff going in and parameters and the stuff going in and out of it so I'd imagine uh they put out of it so I'd imagine uh they put out of it so I'd imagine uh they put that on here and you could just that on here and you could just that on here and you could just connected as needed um and I'm just connected as needed um and I'm just connected as needed um and I'm just going on a Lim here but I would say they going on a Lim here but I would say they going on a Lim here but I would say they probably don't want to put a screen on probably don't want to put a screen on probably don't want to put a screen on every battery because you know no one's every battery because you know no one's every battery because you know no one's going to be sitting there looking at the going to be sitting there looking at the going to be sitting there looking at the screen the whole time also it would be screen the whole time also it would be screen the whole time also it would be an additional cost like I mentioned an additional cost like I mentioned an additional cost like I mentioned right now this battery is for $1,200 so right now this battery is for $1,200 so right now this battery is for $1,200 so trying to keep the cost down while trying to keep the cost down while trying to keep the cost down while making improvements would be huge and making improvements would be huge and making improvements would be huge and adding a screen to every battery would adding a screen to every battery would adding a screen to every battery would just be a cost that you know not just be a cost that you know not just be a cost that you know not everybody needs so for the people who everybody needs so for the people who everybody needs so for the people who need a screen you could probably get a need a screen you could probably get a need a screen you could probably get a screen but like I said even the screen but like I said even the screen but like I said even the documentation just says that that this documentation just says that that this documentation just says that that this is reserved and doesn't tell you what is reserved and doesn't tell you what is reserved and doesn't tell you what that's for okay uh the other stuff on that's for okay uh the other stuff on that's for okay uh the other stuff on here reset alarm switch stay of charge here reset alarm switch stay of charge here reset alarm switch stay of charge all this stuff is pretty standard and all this stuff is pretty standard and all this stuff is pretty standard and similar so all that stuff is good but similar so all that stuff is good but similar so all that stuff is good but the other thing to point out on here the other thing to point out on here the other thing to point out on here that is not you know obvious by looking that is not you know obvious by looking that is not you know obvious by looking it at on this is that this is now rapid it at on this is that this is now rapid it at on this is that this is now rapid shut down compatible so once you have um shut down compatible so once you have um shut down compatible so once you have um a switch or something that you can a switch or something that you can a switch or something that you can connect to or if you connect the uh the connect to or if you connect the uh the connect to or if you connect the uh the communications to like something like an communications to like something like an communications to like something like an 18K or something like that once you hit 18K or something like that once you hit 18K or something like that once you hit rapid shut down it will also shut down rapid shut down it will also shut down rapid shut down it will also shut down this uh battery also the V1 battery did this uh battery also the V1 battery did this uh battery also the V1 battery did not have that capability but now it does not have that capability but now it does not have that capability but now it does and I know a lot of people are going to and I know a lot of people are going to and I know a lot of people are going to say hey that's not super important but say hey that's not super important but say hey that's not super important but if you're living in an area where if you're living in an area where if you're living in an area where regulations require something like that regulations require something like that regulations require something like that then it's going to be important and you then it's going to be important and you then it's going to be important and you canall this up to code okay the other canall this up to code okay the other canall this up to code okay the other thing you can't really see too well but thing you can't really see too well but thing you can't really see too well but you can kind of see going on up in here you can kind of see going on up in here you can kind of see going on up in here is that the top part is a little bit is that the top part is a little bit is that the top part is a little bit flat as you can see right here um it's flat as you can see right here um it's flat as you can see right here um it's one piece of metal that they've kind of one piece of metal that they've kind of one piece of metal that they've kind of bended or stamped over so now that the bended or stamped over so now that the bended or stamped over so now that the screws are on the side um the V1 battery screws are on the side um the V1 battery screws are on the side um the V1 battery had all the big screws on the top and I had all the big screws on the top and I had all the big screws on the top and I know that's a huge pain from experience know that's a huge pain from experience know that's a huge pain from experience mainly because for people who didn't mainly because for people who didn't mainly because for people who didn't have the rack cabinet to begin with and have the rack cabinet to begin with and have the rack cabinet to begin with and that were stacking batteries on top that that were stacking batteries on top that that were stacking batteries on top that was a huge pain because you know they was a huge pain because you know they was a huge pain because you know they always stuck out even though they always stuck out even though they always stuck out even though they attempted to counter syn then so uh that attempted to counter syn then so uh that attempted to counter syn then so uh that right there is a huge Improvement that right there is a huge Improvement that right there is a huge Improvement that I've known just from the build quality I've known just from the build quality I've known just from the build quality itself but other than that those are the itself but other than that those are the itself but other than that those are the major improvements going on up in here major improvements going on up in here major improvements going on up in here here we have it installed this right here we have it installed this right here we have it installed this right here is a life power 4 V2 here's the V1 here is a life power 4 V2 here's the V1 here is a life power 4 V2 here's the V1 original model and here is the LL model original model and here is the LL model original model and here is the LL model so I know we talked about the so I know we talked about the so I know we talked about the differences but it's better and easier differences but it's better and easier differences but it's better and easier to show you you can see it right so to show you you can see it right so to show you you can see it right so here's two uh bigger terminals versus a here's two uh bigger terminals versus a here's two uh bigger terminals versus a single terminal and they both have the single terminal and they both have the single terminal and they both have the breaker um as you can see here this is breaker um as you can see here this is breaker um as you can see here this is the can r45 batom support here which the can r45 batom support here which the can r45 batom support here which does not exist here this only has does not exist here this only has does not exist here this only has rs485 this has the dedicated BMS switch rs485 this has the dedicated BMS switch rs485 this has the dedicated BMS switch here this one does not have a dedicated here this one does not have a dedicated here this one does not have a dedicated switch here the state of charge switch here the state of charge switch here the state of charge indicator is pretty much the same but indicator is pretty much the same but indicator is pretty much the same but the other thing to point out in here is the other thing to point out in here is the other thing to point out in here is that this right here I believe is a 4 that this right here I believe is a 4 that this right here I believe is a 4 gauge wire uh I believe that ships with gauge wire uh I believe that ships with gauge wire uh I believe that ships with the battery when you buy this this right the battery when you buy this this right the battery when you buy this this right here I think I don't know what it is but here I think I don't know what it is but here I think I don't know what it is but I think it's like 16 mm or something I think it's like 16 mm or something I think it's like 16 mm or something like that whatever that converts to that like that whatever that converts to that like that whatever that converts to that ships with this wire so as you can see ships with this wire so as you can see ships with this wire so as you can see the wire here definitely seems to be a the wire here definitely seems to be a the wire here definitely seems to be a bit larger right than the V1 model so bit larger right than the V1 model so bit larger right than the V1 model so that's also good to see here right here that's also good to see here right here that's also good to see here right here you see I have BMS communication set up you see I have BMS communication set up you see I have BMS communication set up right now this one is set to communicate right now this one is set to communicate right now this one is set to communicate with the uh wall mount the battery that with the uh wall mount the battery that with the uh wall mount the battery that you can kind of see right there uh so it you can kind of see right there uh so it you can kind of see right there uh so it does work we can go into that and show does work we can go into that and show does work we can go into that and show you what the difference is if you want you what the difference is if you want you what the difference is if you want to see that but also the four red dip to see that but also the four red dip to see that but also the four red dip switches are down here whereas you have switches are down here whereas you have switches are down here whereas you have the six dip switches up here right so the six dip switches up here right so the six dip switches up here right so there's a little bit of a difference and there's a little bit of a difference and there's a little bit of a difference and even if you look at from the front you even if you look at from the front you even if you look at from the front you know the lettering is a little bit know the lettering is a little bit know the lettering is a little bit different the uh color is just a smin different the uh color is just a smin different the uh color is just a smin different but you know obviously the big different but you know obviously the big different but you know obviously the big giveaway are the terminals right so take giveaway are the terminals right so take giveaway are the terminals right so take a look at it compared to the uh eg4 LL a look at it compared to the uh eg4 LL a look at it compared to the uh eg4 LL model this one also has a 10-year model this one also has a 10-year model this one also has a 10-year warranty this one also has uh six dip warranty this one also has uh six dip warranty this one also has uh six dip switches for the ID connector it has switches for the ID connector it has switches for the ID connector it has canbus 485 and two bcom ports just like canbus 485 and two bcom ports just like canbus 485 and two bcom ports just like uh the BMS communication stuff here uh the BMS communication stuff here uh the BMS communication stuff here right it also has a dedicated on andof right it also has a dedicated on andof right it also has a dedicated on andof switch right here it has uh the breaker switch right here it has uh the breaker switch right here it has uh the breaker right here but it also has as you can right here but it also has as you can right here but it also has as you can see here a screen that comes up and this see here a screen that comes up and this see here a screen that comes up and this is pretty much what I was talking about is pretty much what I was talking about is pretty much what I was talking about earlier uh this uh USB port right here earlier uh this uh USB port right here earlier uh this uh USB port right here that says LCD I'm imagining eventually that says LCD I'm imagining eventually that says LCD I'm imagining eventually they'll come out with something you can they'll come out with something you can they'll come out with something you can plug into here to kind of make it look plug into here to kind of make it look plug into here to kind of make it look like this where you can kind of cycle like this where you can kind of cycle like this where you can kind of cycle through some of the specs and see what's through some of the specs and see what's through some of the specs and see what's going on there right you could see the going on there right you could see the going on there right you could see the uh voltages and stuff like that so I uh voltages and stuff like that so I uh voltages and stuff like that so I imagine that's something that they'll imagine that's something that they'll imagine that's something that they'll probably come up with but because you probably come up with but because you probably come up with but because you know they've really bridged the Gap with know they've really bridged the Gap with know they've really bridged the Gap with this battery from this to this this this battery from this to this this this battery from this to this this battery is now much closer to the L2 or battery is now much closer to the L2 or battery is now much closer to the L2 or the LL model and um this also has a the LL model and um this also has a the LL model and um this also has a 10-year warranty so like I mentioned 10-year warranty so like I mentioned 10-year warranty so like I mentioned before I would not be surprised if they before I would not be surprised if they before I would not be surprised if they eventually stopped offering this model eventually stopped offering this model eventually stopped offering this model and this model and just stuck with the and this model and just stuck with the and this model and just stuck with the one I imagine it may be a little bit one I imagine it may be a little bit one I imagine it may be a little bit easier on Logistics to just you know easier on Logistics to just you know easier on Logistics to just you know manufacturer one uh that's pretty much manufacturer one uh that's pretty much manufacturer one uh that's pretty much the same of both and you know maybe uh the same of both and you know maybe uh the same of both and you know maybe uh the logistics may just be easier who the logistics may just be easier who the logistics may just be easier who knows but I don't know like I said I'm knows but I don't know like I said I'm knows but I don't know like I said I'm not we don't work for eg4 or anything not we don't work for eg4 or anything not we don't work for eg4 or anything like that so you know we're just like that so you know we're just like that so you know we're just speculating but also the other quick speculating but also the other quick speculating but also the other quick thing to point out here is that you can thing to point out here is that you can thing to point out here is that you can see with the LL model you have two uh see with the LL model you have two uh see with the LL model you have two uh spots where you can terminate on the spots where you can terminate on the spots where you can terminate on the battery just like here right just like battery just like here right just like battery just like here right just like here and here but on the l1s or the v1s here and here but on the l1s or the v1s here and here but on the l1s or the v1s they do not have that right so as you they do not have that right so as you they do not have that right so as you can see works perfectly as you would can see works perfectly as you would can see works perfectly as you would imagine fits perfectly inside the EG for imagine fits perfectly inside the EG for imagine fits perfectly inside the EG for rack and if you look at how much it rack and if you look at how much it rack and if you look at how much it sticks out the terminal sticks out just sticks out the terminal sticks out just sticks out the terminal sticks out just as much as the top part or the front as much as the top part or the front as much as the top part or the front part of the LL model cu the LL model part of the LL model cu the LL model part of the LL model cu the LL model obviously sticks out a little bit more obviously sticks out a little bit more obviously sticks out a little bit more than the other ones right something we than the other ones right something we than the other ones right something we didn't mention but I should have covered didn't mention but I should have covered didn't mention but I should have covered earlier is that inside here are actual earlier is that inside here are actual earlier is that inside here are actual fire arresters the uh L the V1 model did fire arresters the uh L the V1 model did fire arresters the uh L the V1 model did not have those fire arresters I believe not have those fire arresters I believe not have those fire arresters I believe so that is one Improvement which you'll so that is one Improvement which you'll so that is one Improvement which you'll see when you open it up but we're not see when you open it up but we're not see when you open it up but we're not going to do that right so as you can see going to do that right so as you can see going to do that right so as you can see here the uh handles here are permanent here the uh handles here are permanent here the uh handles here are permanent whereas the handles on here be a little whereas the handles on here be a little whereas the handles on here be a little bit careful here is um foldable so if bit careful here is um foldable so if bit careful here is um foldable so if that's something that you wanted to look that's something that you wanted to look that's something that you wanted to look into or worried about then that's that into or worried about then that's that into or worried about then that's that so hopefully this gives you a better so hopefully this gives you a better so hopefully this gives you a better idea between the V1 the LL and the V2 so idea between the V1 the LL and the V2 so idea between the V1 the LL and the V2 so that's what you get with this updated V2 that's what you get with this updated V2 that's what you get with this updated V2 battery and I will go ahead and say this battery and I will go ahead and say this battery and I will go ahead and say this is probably now the battery to get is probably now the battery to get is probably now the battery to get especially if you're not looking for especially if you're not looking for especially if you're not looking for wall mount batteries I know a lot of the wall mount batteries I know a lot of the wall mount batteries I know a lot of the hype nowadays is the wall mount hype nowadays is the wall mount hype nowadays is the wall mount batteries cuz you know they can probably batteries cuz you know they can probably batteries cuz you know they can probably in a way take up less space Mount them in a way take up less space Mount them in a way take up less space Mount them on a wall all that kind of fun stuff on a wall all that kind of fun stuff on a wall all that kind of fun stuff right but if you're looking for Server right but if you're looking for Server right but if you're looking for Server rack batteries this is the one to get rack batteries this is the one to get rack batteries this is the one to get mainly because right now at this time I mainly because right now at this time I mainly because right now at this time I believe it's around $1,200 right uh I believe it's around $1,200 right uh I believe it's around $1,200 right uh I think previously the life power 4 V1 not think previously the life power 4 V1 not think previously the life power 4 V1 not on sale was like 1350 or 1250 or on sale was like 1350 or 1250 or on sale was like 1350 or 1250 or something like that so uh $1,200 for uh something like that so uh $1,200 for uh something like that so uh $1,200 for uh these batteries seems to be a steal if these batteries seems to be a steal if these batteries seems to be a steal if you are getting them um you know with you are getting them um you know with you are getting them um you know with free shipping and stuff like that so free shipping and stuff like that so free shipping and stuff like that so every once in a while signature solar every once in a while signature solar every once in a while signature solar will have like a free shipping deal will have like a free shipping deal will have like a free shipping deal where you order I don't know like 2 or where you order I don't know like 2 or where you order I don't know like 2 or 3,000 worth of stuff you can get that 3,000 worth of stuff you can get that 3,000 worth of stuff you can get that for free shipping so that's a huge for free shipping so that's a huge for free shipping so that's a huge Improvement right CU if you order a lot Improvement right CU if you order a lot Improvement right CU if you order a lot of these batteries uh you know just of these batteries uh you know just of these batteries uh you know just saving the 50 bucks or 150 bucks per saving the 50 bucks or 150 bucks per saving the 50 bucks or 150 bucks per battery uh for a 10year battery is huge battery uh for a 10year battery is huge battery uh for a 10year battery is huge and this is like I said the the server and this is like I said the the server and this is like I said the the server rack battery to get if you're in the rack battery to get if you're in the rack battery to get if you're in the server rack battery Market because it server rack battery Market because it server rack battery Market because it has everything that you could really has everything that you could really has everything that you could really wish for and it can work with the wish for and it can work with the wish for and it can work with the communications uh with the uh Power Pro communications uh with the uh Power Pro communications uh with the uh Power Pro the indoor wall mount uh other batteries the indoor wall mount uh other batteries the indoor wall mount uh other batteries uh other systems I have other videos uh other systems I have other videos uh other systems I have other videos which we've used this battery and which we've used this battery and which we've used this battery and connected it to victron systems connected it to victron systems connected it to victron systems obviously it works perfectly fine with obviously it works perfectly fine with obviously it works perfectly fine with the eg4 uh Communications on here uh or the eg4 uh Communications on here uh or the eg4 uh Communications on here uh or eg4 devices you know like the 6000 XP eg4 devices you know like the 6000 XP eg4 devices you know like the 6000 XP the 12K 18K so like I said this is a the 12K 18K so like I said this is a the 12K 18K so like I said this is a great battery and um it's awesome to see great battery and um it's awesome to see great battery and um it's awesome to see that you know technology pricing and that you know technology pricing and that you know technology pricing and everything is just moving forward and everything is just moving forward and everything is just moving forward and just working better for the customer so just working better for the customer so just working better for the customer so if you're interested in battery I would if you're interested in battery I would if you're interested in battery I would
