  1. I'm enjoying the website. I don't want an additional app on my phone.

  8. Your batteries outclass the inverters. In hindsight wouldn't a couple of 8kW Sunsynks have been easier? I think a bus bar would have been a good idea.
  9. Download Victrons guide called "Wiring Unlimited". Its a good read. I think many people on this forum would benefit from it. In there they cover your question with diagrams.
  10. Compare these perhaps there is a hardware, firmware or software difference.
  11. If the budget is limited just buy a smaller LiFePO4 battery. There are some 12V lithium drop in replacements as small as 7Ah. Lead is dead baby.
  12. Note the capacity ratings on a Pb battery are also determined over a gentle 20hr discharge. That's not how you use them is it? I think discussing the merits of LiFePO4 over Pb is like flogging a dead horse. Pb batteries are like an overweight stripper, cheap, heavy, they don't do much work, widely available and in the end you'll regret your decision.
  13. You could also use a Solar MD battery with their V2 Logger. The logger will interface with the inverter via RS232 & with the battery via CAN bus.

  16. So how do you enter? Let's just say I'm an iFan .
  17. I think Hubble is coming out with a 10kWh slimline option soon.
  18. My existing 48V lead acid system could do with an upgrade as the batteries are failing. I've got good video editing/you tube skills for a nice user video...

  20. Just get an 8kW Sunsynk inverter & a supported LFP battery. Grow from there. I agree with the statement above regarding CAN compatibility between bands. It's something to be aware of.
  21. An EcoFlow Delta would be a nice choice for a non permanent power solution.
  22. You could have used something like this: https://scoop.co.za/scoop-25u-800mm-deep-outdoor-cabinet-with-4-fans.html
  23. The important question is why do you read NEWS 24? I find that very concerning.
