  1. you may need to adjust your pricing. Takealot has it for R5999
  2. I'm sure the batteries can't be monitored remotely without a physical connection to the battery? How would they connect to the internet?
  3. I also have the same battery, the older type, i'm happy with the battery, no issues in the past 2 years. I asked about cycle count and this is their response: I trust you are doing well! There is no need to stress about the cycles as the warranty is not governed by the number of cycles. Kindest Regards,
  4. As I said in the post, the temperature hasn't gone that high since I put a fan. I don't know whether the inverter is reporting false readings but the heat sinks really feel hot to the touch during the day. As I'm writing now, the inverter is reporting 54.5degC but the inverter fans are not on. Maybe it's just false readings, I don't know.
  5. My update as promised, i bought 3 of these cheap fans. I was initially disappointed because they didn't move much air. I zip tied them together and placed them on top of the inverter. The inverter runs much cooler than before, previously i had seen temperatures of over 90 degrees but not the highest i have seen is around 78 degrees. I am really impressed and will add another fan at the bottom to blow the air upwards.
  6. Thank you. I am going to do this and post the results here.
  7. Thanks, I'm assuming the fan will be pulling up air if you add it on top instead of blowing it into the heat sink.
  8. I have a 5kw in the garage. Even though noise is not an issue, the temperature of the inverter worries me. The minimum I have seen is 68°C and maximum of close to 90°C. I will try this hack and see how much the temp drops.
  9. Thanks, I have watched this and will try it
  10. let me check if they are compatible. Would you have a model number or something like that so that i can check
  11. I am looking for a wifi dongle for the above inverter.
  12. I changed mine to 2kw. The difference is that my geyser is on the aux port(i use a heat pump to primarily heat my water). I only use the geyser when there is "Excess" solar power to heat up the water to 70 degrees since heat pump only goes to 60.
  13. Get a lithium battery. Even if it's just one battery that's not performing, you will have to replace all of them to match them up.
