Same thing I ran into with Chins, they did have a phone number but they never called back, only an answering machine, same with email support.... nothing.

I recently checked my 10 year old 100 watters with new and found the same thing....I guess Older is better!

Have been looking at increasing battery capacity and hoping I might be able to get a Chins or the like to run with my Battleborn, unfortunately if you wire them together (series or parallel) BB said first problem would be a BMS mismatch and second you would void your warranty. I want 300 ah...

Seriously I would go to This Old House website and watch some videos, they have best experience.

Did you give the 60 a fitting burial?

So what does the Max PV Array power mean and why is it even there if the Rated Charge Power is what they go by? Eperver sheet showed 500 to 1000W Panel input your sheet shows 580W....any wonder people get confused then the other says 390 ....big difference and all I wanted to know was which...

I agree with above, use your AGM setting, when you go to lithium then use your User settings.

Have an Epever 30 amp charge controller with 600 watts solar panels but am getting conflicting information from the Epever Data sheet it reads: "Max Solar Input Power 390W (12V)" but further down it says "Solar Panel Max Input Power 500W -1000-W" So...which...

Found the Epever sizing info, shows the 30 amp maxes at 390 watts while the 60 amp can do 750 watts. Site is here: https://www.epever.com/product/tracer-an-50-100a-mppt-charge-controller/ just click products.

That is what my understanding is, your table verified it, where did you get the chart...seems my controller is working within perameters then.

Have been running a 30 amp Epever MPPT charge controller on my 600 watt 12 volt solar for several years but see 60 amps is now recommended, just wondering if the performance or increased output would be worth it?

Had an Ohmmu in my Leaf that crapped out after 3 days of below freezing weather, tried to talk with their support which was email only back and forth for over a week, either the guy was dyslexic or really stupid, he insisted Lifep04 batteries didn't have a BMS...from there it went down hill even...

Good tip, been doing that since the 1800's, I guess it helps equalize pressure, recycled knowhow is the best!

Try propane, heater, pro tank hose done for under $200.00, no cutting fitting windows or pipe and perfect for cooking and heat typically all for peanuts especially since it is for the occasional power outage, no smoke, soot, splinters, ants or new cuss words cause the dam fire won't...

How big is your wood stove, how much area you need to heat?
