The EG4 Chargeverter Plus is an AC-to-DC battery charger. It sits between a generator (or AC utility source) and your battery bank, converting AC power into regulated DC charging current — it does not invert DC to AC, and it does not connect to solar panels.
Architecturally, this is a Chargeverter: an AC-to-DC battery charger, not an inverter and not a hybrid solar inverter. It has no AC output for running loads and no PV/MPPT input. It is UL Listed. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
- AC Input Voltage: 120 / 208 / 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz — best performance at 240VAC.
- DC Battery Voltage: 40-60V (nominal 48V lithium banks).
- Max Charging Current: 100A DC. Continuous charging is 50A at 120VAC input and 100A at 240VAC input — these are separate ratings, not surge figures.
- Idle Consumption: ~4W.
- Does NOT invert DC to AC — no AC output for loads.
- Does NOT accept solar/PV input — no MPPT.
- NOT compatible with 12V or 24V battery banks.
- NOT capable of grid sell-back.
- Wide AC input range (120/208/240VAC) accommodates generator or grid-tie AC sources without a separate transformer.
- Closed-loop CAN/RS485 communication enables SOC-based charging with compatible lithium batteries, reducing overcharge risk.
- Built-in dry contacts support two-wire automatic generator start/stop, with programmable warm-up and cool-down.
- Integrated breaker allows fast output shutdown for equipment protection.
- IP54 enclosure rating protects against dust and moisture in garage, shop, or outdoor-adjacent installs.
- Low idle draw (~4W) limits parasitic consumption when the charger is connected but not actively charging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this unit sell power back to the grid?
No. The EG4 Chargeverter Plus is a Chargeverter — an AC-to-DC battery charger only. It has no grid sell-back capability and does not invert DC power to AC.
What battery voltage is required?
It supports 40-60V battery banks (nominal 48V lithium systems). It is not compatible with 12V or 24V battery banks.
Can I parallel multiple units together?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] Parallel/stacking capability for the Chargeverter Plus is not specified in manufacturer data provided.
Is this UL 1741 listed for utility interconnection?
The Chargeverter Plus is UL Listed for safety and compliance. UL 1741 governs grid-interactive inverters; since this unit is a Chargeverter (AC-to-DC charger only, not grid-interactive), UL 1741 does not apply. Specific UL standard number is [NEEDS VERIFICATION].
Does it work with solar panels directly?
No. This device has no PV/MPPT input. It charges batteries from AC power sources (generator or grid AC), supplementing — not replacing — a solar charging system.
Warranty & Registration
Manufacturer warranty terms for the EG4 Chargeverter Plus are [NEEDS VERIFICATION] — refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page for the manufacturer's warranty document and registration steps.
