Hi If raystech is is a rebadged cfe then do not even consider it. Rather go greenrich, been there paid the school fees

What ever you decide, stay the F@@k away from cfe batteries I bought a luxpower sna 5000 and 1 crap for ever battery. Battery did not even do one cycle and showed me the middle finger. Returned to supplier and 3 months later eventually was told they are going to replace it. I gave them 2 options, my money back or a greenrich battery. They opted for the latter. I also contacted the importers and spoke to Owen for all of 3 minutes and half into that I could hear that he did not give a shit about coming to the party. So much for the 10 year warranty. Do not underestimate the importance of after sales support, I did get sorted, but 3 months waiting time = bullshit !!

Just reread your 1st post re #4 Try disconnecting your ht lead out and return at the fence and then connect them together and the see if your unit then shows good status. If not then it may be your unit at fault.

Hi What you could also try is measure your volts at the point on the fence where your ht out from the energiser connects. follow that line all the way to the end and see if the voltage drops, if not go to the next live wire and do the same. Something to check too, as the photo of a previous post above of the bobbin, with age the tab that keeps the wire on the bobbin can break and the wire may then rest on the pole/round bar or what is applicable, and this can be difficult to spot unless you pay close attention when inspecting the fence. Also if I am not mistaken, it looks like your ht cable is stranded. I have found that to be useless in the long term as the wire degrades. I have replaced it with solid core ht when that occurs. Hope this helps Cheers Sean

Hi If the different batteries have different c rating's, would that make any difference? Cheers Sean

Hi Do you disconnect the battery when not in use? I had the same issue when I used to work on a farm and installed a cutout switch to reduce the rate of discharge. This helped provided the tractor was not idle for any lengthy periods. Cheers Sean

Powerforum Thanks for your reply and explanation. All the best

app.viralsweep Looks like a place to download a virus, why not keep this on your web page where the chance of downloading something evil is reduced? Regards

Hiya Rob How is windy corner treating you? Your question on replacing blades on a windmill with solar panels, how would you transfer the power from the panels to the system? Also depending on wind direction your panels may not be facing the desired direction for best production of energy. Chances of the panels surviving in such a setup ?? Cheers Sean Ficksburg

Hi Thanks for your reply. Cheers

Hi Do you have contact details for them and did you buy directly from them? Cheers Sean

done good luck

Hi From what I have read on this forum, having a 5kw inverter the ideal match would be having 10kwh of battery capacity, so what you have would be ideal in that respect. If you can keep those and add solar panels later. Is that a sna 5000 or lxp inverter? Reason I ask is with respect to cooling of the equipment as it looks like you have it mounted in a cupboard. If you have not already done so consider adding fans to move air through that space to keep it cool. Also are those batteries .5c, if so more reason to keep the 2 of them. Cheers Sean

Hi entry level luxpower sna 5000 is approx 13 to 14k and lxp 5kw is approx 23 to 24k, so 2 lxp would be closer to the 10kw price cheers Sean

Hi All Found this on the web, have not used it myself, so make no claims how good it is or not. See attached file Cheers Sean ESP Brochure.pdf
