    Defective eg4 chargerverter?

    I did find that video... just added the word defective to get to it. That guy should seek a job in SS support, heh. Looking inside, such a thing is EASILY prevented with a little thought in the engineering department, quite honestly. Yep, there are some pretty decent, and even dare i say...

    Defective eg4 chargerverter?

    I guess that what I can reasonably expect from Chinese quality control. Wonder why the tech couldn't have pointed this out. Thanks, I'll check that out. I looked previously under chargerverter keywords and have never come across any of those videos, but I'll try again

    Defective eg4 chargerverter?

    So i have an eg4 chargerverter, and I've never been able i get this thing to go past 47a for some reason. Every time I program it to go to 100a, it will stay there until the auto display off occurs, which it will then set itself to somewhere between 47 and 49 amps. This means I've...

    Signature Solar Charger Not Meeting Specs..?

    Id send an email direct to company, but as I've never received a single reply from the 5 previous ones I've sent, I've quickly realized SSs priority is public relations on forums rather than customer service on the individual level. An observation I'm apparently far from alone with...

    Signature Solar Charger Not Meeting Specs..?

    So, SignatureSolarJames, what's a status of "backorder/partial ship" mean? I ordered the chargeverter, which on the site, doesn't mention anything about it being on backorder. Wth?

    Signature Solar Charger Not Meeting Specs..?

    I just took a peek at the spec sheet and general features...a variable voltage, variable current (up to 100a) output with dual voltage input, for $400? That's an abnormally low price point, to say the least. If it really does what it says it does, with reasonable longevity, that's a...

    Signature Solar Charger Not Meeting Specs..?

    However, I'm thinking it's possible to run these chargers through my classic 150, which will be out of a job once my Hawk's Bay CC comes in.

    Signature Solar Charger Not Meeting Specs..?

    So. I had passed along this information regarding these chargers to the Kilovault tech support, and received this verdict, for whoever might find it useful, "In short the constant voltage chargers are not acceptable. The voltage is too high. The BMS will protect it, but that is only meant...

    Signature Solar Charger Not Meeting Specs..?

    So it would be accurate to say that it's ac to dc constant voltage power supply set to 58v then?

    Signature Solar Charger Not Meeting Specs..?

    How is that charger working out for you? I'm searching for suitable chargers for my pair of kilovault habs (48v, 300ah bank) to integrate stand alone chargers, and keep coming back to these for the price, thinking on 2 or 3 of them all tied into my bus bars. Anyone have any experience with...

    AC charger

    The quoted amperage limitation was for the ac input side. For a grid tied backup power situation, it's fine for smaller banks I'm sure. I do get why some companies do elect not to list prices or vendors, but i prefer when they at least list their MSRPs and their list of verified and trusted...

    AC charger

    Downloaded all the files for the Lester chargers, couldn't find any documentation for the setpoints. Hell, I couldnt even find the price or even the ordering form or a link to vendors (if they don't sell direct, which... who knows?). Confusing website anyway. But, whatever else, a 48v...

    AC charger

    Well, sort of. I set the lvd to a somewhat higher voltage than the batteries bms, too avoid the batteries ever going to sleep mode from extreme depletion. I have however ran them to that point, and had the inverter failsafe come on, which whistles really loudly to let you know your at your lvd...

    AC charger

    Ah crap, didn't know that. I wonder if one can't simply get one shipped overseas from here via an intermediary, if one were so inclined. I think they did go up to $1300 recently as well. I myself have been in the market for an external lifepo4 charger, for efficiency gains and less noise...

    AC charger

    My Genetry Gs6000 can do all this. I can specify nearly any set points I want with it, and it has a bulk to float function that fully customizable... switching from constant current to constant voltage modes with a timer function of so desired. It's pretty slick, and the designer, Sid, is...
