    Hi
    Would it not be a simpler solution to have a third elevated tank which is above the level of the existing 2 tanks used as a control tank to feed both tanks?
    Each of the two tanks each have a ball valve to prevent overflow and the switch that controls the pump installed in the elevated tank.
    That way you also have added capacity.
    Cheers

    Hi you need to get a proper crimper that is used for this application, do not take chances with this.
    I bought a crimper set from regal security a while ago when they had a special on it , you would have to check if they have stock.
    Cheers

    Hi
    from personal experience I recommend that you do not even consider cfe batteries. See posts on this forum re cfe batteries.
    Went for a greenrich battery after waiting 3 months without a battery.
    Good luck with your search
  12. Thanks

    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 !!

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

    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
    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
