April 10, 20251 yr Good morning!I have just purchased the above inverter for basic backup power.A little bit of backround.... Based in Botswana. We have suddenly been getting load shedding because of issues with our only power stationthat was built by the wrong people! Africa....I will be runnning 2 x 100AH Camel Lead Acid Batteries in series to start as I have 2 fresh units that were meant for another project.All I want to run initially is the TV, Router, Charge phones and couple of lights.Next I will probably starting buying 2-3 solar panels a mcnth. Once I have 8 , I want to wire everything into the DB board.Lastly, I will get a lithium battery. On the whole we dont get many cuts and government is moving fast to sort out the issue but for piece of mindI need to have backup for basics as well as alarm and cctv.From what I read in the manual , a lot of the presets seem fine for my current setup.My main concern is not running the batteries over 50% DOD. This falls under option 19 (low DC cut off battery voltage).Is 24.2V safe?Secondly, I see mention of an equaliser mode/dept. Would you still recommend running a battery balancer with this setup?If anybody recommends any other changes to the default settings I would be really thankful !!
