    About to get ripped off by a AliExpress

    Sorry for your loss. Yeah I really mean loss. I originally ordered mine in April. After going through the same BS from "The Seller" I finally just gave up and accepted a 158 USD refund (originally spent 1186 USD) and have nothing good to say about anything coming from China and especially...

    Sorry Will but I cannot recommend anything from AliExpress

    Let me share the unboxing with you experts and you'll see that AliExpress is allowing a total rip off scammer like this guy. This is just the unboxing. You'll see how he tried to alter them to look like something they are not. Sorry but if you say you are selling something then you better do...

    Sorry Will but I cannot recommend anything from AliExpress

    Especially, DO NOT USE Shop910787018 Store on AliExpress For anything battery related. I was sold 8 420Ah Grade A cells for $1186 and received 8 240Ah cells of which 2 are badly damaged and 1 in missing the bottom insulating cap. Sold "will receive 20-38 days" as soon as transaction completed...

    From the ashes of a 12Kw diesel Generator

    Without getting too far into the system. If what we are building (solar) fails there is a backup gasoline 4500W Generac generator. They simply remove the 30A 110 plug from the invertor and plug it into the Generac 30A 110 plug. They only need to switch the primary power breaker off when...

    From the ashes of a 12Kw diesel Generator

    It has been a comedy of problems over the last 17 years and we don't want to have to work on things any more. Our kids don't understand how to keep the squirrels running in the cages so if we can get it down over the next five years to be self sufficient year round without the need for fossil...

    From the ashes of a 12Kw diesel Generator

    The Generator that self destructs is not a normal buy off the shelf 12Kw Generator. So for those that think they are experts on them let me make it clear. It was at one time the only power supply we had. We needed that much power when we were there. For those interested here is what you need...

    Ken, Yes we have decided to go with a heating pad system to keep the batteries warm when the temps start to drop. Thanks for your thoughts also.

    From the ashes of a 12Kw diesel Generator

    Mike, Yes I've considered it but the person I'm doing this with is steadfast in being 12v. I just have to hold on and see if the system fails or if it thrives. The reason he is so set on 12v is because we already have most of the equipment to do it 12v because that is what we use now. thanks...

    From the ashes of a 12Kw diesel Generator

    As for keeping the batteries warm we will be using an old tried and true service. We will be building an insulated box and use a 40W incandescent light bulb for heat. I have a 100W inverter that we will use to keep the light lit and a 12v temp sensor to trigger the inverter on and off. This...

    From the ashes of a 12Kw diesel Generator

    Hopefully someone can make sense of what I'm about to say. Property 5 miles from civilization and running power to it would cost in the range of $35,000 to $50,000 depending on permit costs (this is just the power companies estimated cost of running the lines and poles). For 2 sheds, 3-30 foot...
