In my experience, I would rephrase the text so any 8-year can understand it. Many people in CN speak/read limited to no English, or use...

To me that would indicate 280Ah batteries which are sold as 320Ah. That has been a common practice 'yeah they generally archieve 320Ah...

100/12 = 8.3A Add inverter losses and you're more like 10A. If the 100W is the load with an adapter (eg a laptop) the mains load will...

In Europe, eg Pekaway and Tigerexped has them, both providing 100w On Ali, i they are limited to 65w but in reality more like 40W max...

For EU, you might consider Nkon or GWL.

Agree, Mikrotik LHG (Especially the LHG LTE18) is a beast (LTE CAT18) but it for a fixed install. However if I understand the original...

Use a modern router (with modern LTE CAT, so it can benefit from carrier aggregation which does make a lot of sense in more rural...

Bin that breaker, thats one of the crappy ones. Replace with a proper fuse (And fuse near the batteries. There is no point of fusing the...

Which 40A circuit breaker? The issue your describing exactly looks like the ones I would expect from a crappy cheap breaker. Is it a...

To be honest, my fist assumption was you did something wrong. It wasn't untill I found the crappy Apexium manual to find out the...

Fully agree, I do recommend overpaneling, since the max of the panels is most of the time not archieved. There is a sensible limit to...

Yes, but you are limited in the current as well. PV input has limits for both voltage AND current. A MPPT works by tracking the...

Both mistakes are not in the Seplos video: the PEM nut is facing backwards, not part of the circuit, and there is NO washer between...

Flip the busbar over, replace the fuse holder (a local autopart store might have a replacement fuse holder). alternatively you can...

Yes, the fixed nut is called a PEM nut typically, made by PEM technologies. I used them daily at work. These ones are Zinc Plated Steel...

I think the busbar only has gotten very hot. Carefully clean, (very) gentle sand the contacts and if preferred renew heatshrink. I...

Couldn't resist looking into the manual and I agree with the note from @Lt.Dan about the terminals. The manual is, imho, wrong here. To...

I haven't seen the manual, I only made conclusions based on the images you've provided. I agree the images you posted DO look there is...

What was the load pulled from/to the batteries? And were they nuts torqued to spec? The images shown heat, especially at the input side...

How come it even CAN melt? That clearly indicates a highly wrong and even dangerous design. It should trip a fuse/breaker if the wires...
