For my case, I do not need to worry about the neutral bond issue, right? I am planning to connect the ecoworth charger directly to the truck bed through this cable: Amazon.com: RVGUARD 4 Prong 30 Amp 50 Foot Generator Extension Cord, NEMA L14-30P/L14-30R, 125/250V Up to 7500W 10 Gauge SJTW Cord...

Wow, this is a very cool feature. I did not know it. I guess the inverter (from the ecoflow) works as "pass through charging". But 4,800 watts may not be enough to power the whole house. I have a 5-ton AC and a 3-ton AC. For those who want to install a similar system, Costco has a great deal...

Yes. That is true. I will not connect my truck to the system only when the power outage lasts for more than 1-2 days. My current system with 32 kwh is good for 1-2 days with reduced energy consumption.

Yes. It is well worth installing a battery backup or solar by the end of this year, particularly in areas where the grid is unstable.

Thanks for your detailed information. I wish my SRNE ASP inverters provided a generator port.

Yes. My batteries are 48V. What do you mean by paralleling the chargeverter? Do I need two chargeverters? My batteries are parallel. I thought I just needed to connect the positive of the chargeverter to the positive busbar and the negative to the negative busbar and I can charge the two...

I got free electricity at night in Texas.:):) I was looking for ecoflow system too but it was too expensive. I guess you do not need an ecoworthy or eg4 chargeverter. When you are charging your batteries from the lightning, you cannot power your house. How did you handle that?

Yes. I agree. The EG4 chargeverter provides 100 amp and ~5kw power. Can I use chargeverter to charge the batteries and also provide power to the house through the inverters? I will have to turn off AC, water heater, etc.

I just installed two SRNE ASP inverters and they do not have a generator port. I am wondering whether I can use my lightning to charge the batteries using a 48v charger. Amazon.com: ECO-WORTHY Upgraded (Version 2) 48V 60A Lithium Battery Charger, Adjustable Voltage & Current, CAN BMS...

I recently installed two inverters and two LFP batteries in the garage for a home power backup system, and I hope to save on utility costs by using batteries (time of use feature). In 2024, we lost power for 4-5 days in the humid summer in Texas. Please see the attached picture for my setup...

Nice to join here. I am the owner of a 2023 f150 lightning and 2025 mach e. Hope to share my experience in the community and learn from others.
