    Has anyone tried this 12v 3000W LF inverter?

    Have you considered looking at building an air lift pump. The cost would be tiny. You would need to pump into a storage tank. It works on the basis that you pump a constant supply of water in small volume into a header tank. A small solar panel and a 12v aquarium air pump are the basic parts...

    Has anyone tried this 12v 3000W LF inverter?

    There are a range of inverter chargers. So the features vary between the models. I can tell you that the one I purchased from Amazon UK didn't have the remote switch plug but I just extended the On/Off button mounted on the case to a generic inverter switch I purchased off ebay. The generator...

    New 200 amp rated JBD

    I can see the idea behind the changes but improving the packaging and keeping the original design would have been a better idea. Alternatively they could have made the terminals wrap around the PCB and a bolt hole that passed straight through the PCB. This new design limits the torque you can...

    Crazy low prices on Aliexpress LifePO4 320A, with buyer protection?

    Well the fake tracking has been accepted by Aliexpress. Even the tracking on Aliexpress shows my order never came near the UK-England. Aliexpress have still sided with the fake seller. If you put the same tracking number into any other parcel tracking websites it clearly shows the tracking...

    New 200 amp rated JBD

    I've only just received mine. Try triggering the low temp sensor and put a multi meter on the square PCB terminal. The 4 points in the picture on Aliexpress are all connected together by a square bolt on lug/plate.

    Crazy low prices on Aliexpress LifePO4 320A, with buyer protection?

    If you are going to open a case with Aliexpress/Paypal/Credit Card, just remember to be polite. Your dealing with a person that has to deal with complaints every day. Yes it is frustrating and understandably you as the buyer are upset because you paid out a lot of money and waited 2-3 months...

    Crazy low prices on Aliexpress LifePO4 320A, with buyer protection?

    The reality is you cant chase debts in China unless you have serious connections in the Chinese government. Even companies moving manufacturing to China dont have any legal right. If legal cases are taken to court inside China by None Chinese origin citizens (foreigner's), the courts always...

    Crazy low prices on Aliexpress LifePO4 320A, with buyer protection?

    You are partly correct. PostNL is usually Air Freight. I get plenty of items from Aliexpress delivered to the UK-England via PostNL. In fact i have just had 2x JBD 200A BMS boards delivered today via PostNL. I have had heavier/larger items via PostNL that were transported by ship in the past...

    Norton cranes, Staffordshire is an Amazon bulk warehouse that deals with retailers stock directly on pallets. I would be grateful if you can let me know if the inverter does have the ports for the remote to plug in and the green plug for the auto generator start.

    Has anyone tried this 12v 3000W LF inverter?

    Did you order from Amazon or Vevor? I found a handy tracking website. Iv have got 8 or more items coming from China on different ship, planes and items that have already entered the UK. All with different delivery companies, that often changing to different companies once they enter the UK...

    Has anyone tried this 12v 3000W LF inverter?

    Yes mate i will put up a link to the remote panel or share the contact details if this pans out. The manufacture is putting a sticker over the remote connection port, which says contact the retailer to purchase the remote panel. So the manufacture clearly want to sell them. It seems the...

    What's inside the box? (70A Adjustable power supply)

    Not a project for a novice I don't want anyone getting an electrical shock After digging around online i found these server power supplies are designed to supply just over 15v if you bridge two of the connectors. Then you have a second pair of terminals you can add a 10K Potentiometer to...

    Has anyone tried this 12v 3000W LF inverter?

    I have had a couple of messages back and forth with the retailer/manufacture and i'm waiting for a price for this 3000W inverter and a price for the LED &/OR LCD remote panels. Sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get answers to simple questions. Or get prices for single orders. You would...

    What's inside the box? (70A Adjustable power supply)

    The PC (server power supply) i have is 12v at 62.4 amps. Rated at 750W. So i should comfortably pull close to 45A-50A at 14v. It's a reliable and clean power supply that i used to power my Ham radio until i got a dedicated power supply. Now it's sitting in the cupboard collecting dust. So it...

    What's inside the box? (70A Adjustable power supply)

    Is there any chance you can open up the regulator, so we can see what components they have used? I would order one rom China but its going to take 2-3 months for delivery to the UK and I already have the 65A PC power supply. Small components like the voltage regulator and the display i can buy...
