Says it of stock again, all V1's have been snached up it seems. Or my email link was bad.

Ok thanks, I thought someone mentioned ordering in a comment above.They haven't arrived yet. (Hopefully next week)

you're right, sorry I was trying to make a joke - ie that I wouldn't post the heads-up on the new stock V1 Chargeverters without first getting my own order squared away...but no, all I did was get on the email list to be (hopefully) first in line. Sorry for the misleading-info @SparkyJJO; hope we all get one of the V1's !! I really don't need the comms of the V2, and have been waiting a long time for a V1.How did you do that. There's no way to order a V1 from them, just get an email.

Get on the email notifications list with CC, or as an option there are some Canadian venders with stock - do a search.Says it of stock again, all V1's have been snached up it seems. Or my email link was bad.
Smart move.We have been burned many times before by taking pre-orders for stuff that we don't have direct control over. The last chargeverter order got delayed many times, including FedEx getting it stuck at one of their hubs. We had many upset customers and really just didn't feel the situation was handled properly.
Now, with the mailing list, we are getting names, and when the inventory actually makes it to our warehouse, we make a hidden listing that we blast out to the product-specific mail-list subscribers, and give them 24-hours to place an order before opening up inventory to the general public. I think this is very fair, because then we are never taking a penny from anyone for product that is not on our shelves. That's been a pretty common complaint of some vendors on this forum.
This will be standard operating practice for us from here on out. Yes, it will cost us some sales to other vendors that do take pre-orders, but that's ok. It's our job as a warehouse distributor to bridge the gap between manufacturing runs and customer demand, and using pre-orders as a crutch at someone else's expense just doesn't settle well.
That would be great. But not going to happen according to everything I have heard.With the continued popularity of the V1, will these continue to be made available in batches a few times per year?
But if you dont need the added features, it simply costs more. Thats a big price jump.It's rather funny that the GC (stands for generator control) functionality was added due to feedback from this forum and now that EG4 developed and added it, people are upset that it made the product a bit more expensive.
That said, I think some of the differences with the new chargeverter is poorly noted and make the higher price a fair representation of the value added.
The new chargeverter has a removable input cord, so swapping from 120v plug to 240v plug is very easy. The output is now Dexgon (similar to amphenol) connectors so the output cords can be easily unplugged - and shops like mine will soon be able to offer custom cables could provide you whichever length and ring terminal config you like - or give you options if you need to move the chargeverter between systems. The screen is way better too, overall efficiency is significantly increased meaning less energy wasted as heat.
1.Those who don't care about communications don't need that feature. And those who do, are already connected to their AIO, and can't use it.Although I imagine there are many users that want the communications and generator start functions the V2 offers.
I can see that as a plus.The new chargeverter has a removable input cord, so swapping from 120v plug to 240v plug is very easy.
Sounds like mandatory additional costs.The output is now Dexgon (similar to amphenol) connectors so the output cords can be easily unplugged - and shops like mine will soon be able to offer custom cables could provide you whichever length and ring terminal config you like
I would like to see the numbers on this.overall efficiency is significantly increased meaning less energy wasted as heat.
Im a programmer. Newer cars make extensive use of canbus and similar networks. When they work, they are great. When not they can be a pia.It's actually not complex. It's just undocumented. The best encryption algorithms including the ones used by the banking industry are documented, including the source code for the algorithm and it still can't be cracked (except by .....).
The automobile industry is somewhat standardized with the On-board diagnostics (OBD II) communications.
The various communication protocols used by the internet are well documented (including source code).
Linux is open source so everyone has access to the source code.
Heck, the NEC is trying to standardize electrical stuff.
Used to be you could buy a Chiltons or Hayes manual for an automobile and do basic auto maintenance, not anymore.
Complex can still be simple if documented.
If the solar industry would go the same route it would be a much better world, except @Will Prowse would not need to cut stuff open.
