Yeah, that's a possibility. More and more I have the impression that PowMr buy outdated MakeSkyBlue surplus they won't sell anyway and rebadge them. For specifically the solar controller, they follow MakeSkyBlue in tech by about 2 years. With mean that if you buy PowMr, you're about two years...

The only way to properly know, would be to know what software it run. I expect PowMr to run older MakeSkyBlue firmware. The old 60A unit is a copy of a very old makeskyblue unit, running v113 firmware. The new PowMr 60A Pro seam to be a copy of newer makeskyblue, very similar internal to v119...

It depend of you're setup and expectation. Personally I turn my rig on in the morning, l aim for the batteries to be fully charged by 4pm (so usually I begin the mining at about 11am). I turn the mining off during the night, when the batteries hit 65% I only do that mining cycle when day is...

Sure, for you I can do that ;)

Finally, not only PowMr is using makeskyblue design. Actually a ton of other clones exist. A lot of them are sold as "makeskyblue" with is worst than what PowMr do PowMr seam to make be best clone so far. And it seam to be one of the most popular brand for cheap SCC. But personally I would...

New PowMr, the one that have a nice new exterior that don't look like a thin can, did release with the same PCB than what makeskyblue was using, but about a year after... If the PowMr was not a ripoff, I would expect them to ship with the new PCB before makeskyblue and not the other way around...

Proof is in first page of this thread https://diysolarforum.com/threads/powmr-are-still-ripoff-beware.43094 (pictures). Why do New PowMr model do endup with makeskyblue PCB one year after makeskyblue release the product? Plus, Why do PowMr (old thin-can model that look like makeskyblue) do run...

You got lucky, probably. That initial ripoff version you show don't have an exact copy of the other product (but it run an outdated firmware from makeskyblue) unlike the new revision of that PowMr charge controller that now look totally identical internally to the makeskyblue (no idea of what...

Removing youtube video using negative feedback, when I said that? There is many way to get youtube videos removed. dyor

The video on youtube of that unit that caught on fire is not there anymore, I suppose it got striked (common practice on youtube to get rid of video you don't like)

Hope you're backend on where you did screw all the stuff have good fire retardant. That old ripoff model can't be trusted Just to be curious, how much A you feed them?

The old model of PowMr use to have that specific bug (I think it was because it was using a very old MakeSkyBlue firmware). I thought they at least fixed that one in there updated ripoff, That for confirming it's still present. Last year I did score my two 48V, 60A MakeSkyBlue for a total of...

They made two copy of the same model, the new one seam to be better. For the one I did talk about, it have sub par components that are not rated for the job and very old and buggy firmware. I did make a thread here showing the original product guts and the two version of the PowMr ...

I did notice an anomaly on one of my solar cell. It seam that the metal that do the connection inside the cell is getting "shiny" See images (first one is affected cell, second one is another cell (with some crap on it). Only one cell seam to be affected (6 x 400W panels). Is that some kind of...

Yeah, good point @Bud Martin My Inverter do bip if I plug a fridge before turning it on. So I have my house breaker all set to OFF when I turn on the inverter. Then after about 5-10sec, when the voltage display stabilized on the inverter, I turn all my house breaker ON.
