They're over three hundred pounds each. I wouldn't trust manufacturers mounting brackets alone. So far I've only seen them displayed as for mounting against the wall, while still resting on the floor. You could just use a couple shelf mounting brackets under the batteries, then use the brackets...

Use a shelf?

I was told they are expected to arrive in the US in about 6 weeks.

Their own

I just saw an article the other day that said the solar panel market is flooded, manufacturers are sitting on more panels than ever, panels they can't seem to sell and prices are likely to keep dropping. Hope this is true.

Ok, agreed, I don't need or want to do that, I just want to be able to have one tablet near my system and another in the house, and other places, and just be able to see the status of my system on every tablet at the same time. That's possible?

Are you saying you can only control on one tablet/computer at a time? Is it that you have to login to your account to check status or make changes, and if you want to do it on another tablet/computer, then you first have to log out of the first one, to then log into another?

Is VRM the same thing as the display on the victron screen like this:

I haven't gotten it yet, but plan to get Victron stuff and of course the cerbo, but the screens they sell are pretty small. I want to use tablets instead. Plus, I've been told you can't run the Victron screen as far as I need to, which is about 200ft. away from my system. I would like to have a...

What do you mean by "staying out of the knees" and compression?

I was thinking of purchasing everything from current connected. From what they sell, I was thinking SOK or EG4. Unfortunately they are now sold out of the $1100 SOK batteries until June. I don't want to wait that long, as my current batteries are basically worthless, and I'm running off a...

It sounds like you're saying C rate has the greatest effect? And so it's best to size the system correctly in order to keep the C rate very low at all times?

Do manufacturers specify fully charging batteries cause degradation? I haven't seen that, though I think I heard it said for electric vehicle batteries. Is it best for longevity, to not charge up to 100%?

Thank you. I am pretty certain at this point that I will be going with Victron, I like the UI and understand that I need a transformer based inverter system, plus the longevity seems top notch. However, the choices in batteries has me overwhelmed, and I'm pretty indecisive to begin with, as I...

I haven't received much help and the answers I have received didn't leave me feeling very confident. I've called three different companies. They all basically told me I need to figure it out and then call them back to tell them what I want to buy. I was really hoping the company I'm planning to...
