  1. Hi Dewalt. Could you supply more detail of the inverter, model number etc?
  2. No way! I am will make use of it. Thanks so much. This is my Birthday month!
  3. Hi Gents Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for all your inputs. Perhaps it would be wise to see if I can stretch the budget a little, perhaps see if I can double up on the batteries or buy a single bigger battery for now. I don't want to damage the battery, but initially I may get away with it if I can be disciplined enough until I get a second battery. Lots to think about, but i am concerned about the scope creep Loodpyp...
  4. Hi Everyone I would like to get a backup system just for the essentials, lights and PC, TV. So my initial plan is was to get a 3kw Kodak Inverter, with a Fox ESS LVE2600 2.56kWh 48V Battery. Just take in consideration continues load will most likely be 2kw or even less. I was looking at the Kodak 3kw inverter 48V, but noticed it is not much more expensive to get a 5kw inverter. So thinking in terms of future upgradeability, I am considering getting the 5kw inverter, on the same battery. This way I can just add another battery in future, perhaps another FOX ESS LVE2600 in the near future, and perhaps look at at solar after that. I will most likely limit what is connected to 2kw peak in the beginning, even though i will be running a 5kw inverter, so I argue the battery should be sufficient for a start. What are your thoughts. I need to get an inverter very soon, and currently this is only what the budget allows. This is obviously not off-grid solution, but I reckon 5kw on the house (kitchen not connected and no geysers), with extra or bigger battery capacity would be sufficient running a home (no geyser and kitchen). Looking forward to see the comments.
