@Aphers Thanks for the info & tips re: the induction hob! I think I found it: and boy, am I impressed! Less than 10 seconds to boil a quarter-pan or so of water seems incredibly fast (that is, presuming the video wasn't accelerated or something). That would make it much more efficient than I...

Thanks for the report @Aphers, glad to hear it's working well for you Re: temporary installations, I hear you loud and clear... Only yesterday I've finished the last touches on my Inverter + solar charger + panels + batteries including integrating it all with the pre-existing electrical...

And here's their reply: So, according to EPEver, there's a low risk of damaging their controller (at least the Tracer3210AN model), and they will void the warranty if done on purpose (@Will Prowse , looks like they are on to you! :)) but keep honoring it in case of a blown fuse mishap.

Wow, @Will Prowse! Amazing, thank you very much for testing this and then sharing the result with us! Just one question: can you please tell what EPEver model(s) you tested? I would very much like to be sure my EPEver/EPSolar Tracer3210AN (or some other model in the same XX10AN series) was...

I just sent this in an email to EPEver/EPSolar support regarding my Tracer3210AN solar charge controller: If/when I receive a response from them, I will post it here. Cheers, -- Durval.

Hello @Aphers, I have purchased the original EPEver/EPsolar cable and it worked without issue. But I also connected a Raspberry Pi directly to my EPEver, and for this I made my own custom RS485 cable using this. It's a common part you can find almost everywhere, and apart from a RJ45 cable (to...

Hello @Aphers, just an update: my vendor offered me a really really good price for swapping the Phoenix Smart for the equivalent Multiplus Compact, *and* they offered to bench-assemble everything so I could test it to my satisfaction before plunking down the money, so I took them on their offer...

Hello everyone, So, I'm installing a new battery bank in my motorhome, and opted for Pylontech RV12100 batteries. These are supposed to be 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 "drop-in replacements" for SLA batteries specific for deep-cycle, mobile (boat, RV) applications. I bought 3 of them and have them...

Thanks for the prompt reply, @Aphers, and sorry to hear your plans got delayed. Let's keep in touch here by all means, I will also report back when I have more info.

Hi @Aphers , and thanks for the reply. Here, I pulled the trigger on a Victron Phoenix Smart 12/2000 inverter, and boy am I having problems: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/95857/phoenix-smart-inverter-very-inaccurate-va-values.html...

Hi @Aphers, how is the EPEver working out for you? I have my eyes on its younger brother (the 2000W model) but it's difficult to find reliable information online, it seems all people talk can about is Victron... :) I'm specially interested in how the EPEver works re: peak loads -- datasheet...

Hello everyone, I have an EPEver TraceRT3210AN V01.55+V01.22 bought about 1 year ago, and I have never had to test it (no freezing temps around here) but it does have low-temp charging cutoff: it's both described in the manual and accessible/settable on the EPever configuration software.
