  • Post in thread: Is it okay to combine these batteries?

    I'm looking for a solution to use with the lv5048 inverter. When I discovered I needed more battery power to run the inverter, the first set of batteries were no longer available, so I bought the second set. Here are two different sets of batteries. Two 24V A123 LFP Battery w/ BMS – (a123 8s5p)...
  • Post in thread: What else do I need to get this going?

    I didn't notice a low temperature correction factor. I have read that cold panels produce more energy; is that what you mean? Also, would that still apply to Tucson, Az. weather where it's hot year round except for about two days? So, my batteries that aren't even taken out of the boxes yet...
  • Post in thread: What else do I need to get this going?

    Hello, I've been signed up for a little while, going through some of the categories, and still feel like I'm reading a foreign language. I'm not sure which question to ask first, so here goes. Will recommended these wires on his web page, but I'm not sure if those are the sizes I will need...
  • Post in thread: Extension Cord horror

    That's my problem too. I didn't realize the importance of the 92 AH on those batteries until I came to this forum asking 'how to' with those batteries with the lv5048. And I only bought two of the batteries. I understand that we shouldn't mix and match batteries. It's almost as if we're stuck...
  • Post in thread: Extension Cord horror

    I realize this is not my thread, but it applies to me all the same. I sure am glad that I read your comment, and for that, I'm even more perplexed. I too watched Will's video with the extension cord cutting/crimping etc, and was planning to do the same. I'll have to take my MPP 5048 out of the...
  • Post in thread: lv5048 inverter to utility panel

    Hi, I have a lv5048 and would like to use it only with batteries for right now. I may add solar panels at a later date. I'd like to have it set to have the batteries automatically take over when utility power goes down. So, my question is, how to wire the lv5048 inverter to my utility panel?
  • Post in thread: lv5048 inverter to utility panel

    Thanks for the reply. If went the generator route, I would probably do something like this video, but I'm stuck with batteries. The lv5048 inverter has a transfer switch within, so I'm looking for a diagram using the inverter to the main panel. I guess I'll be able to set it through the...
  • Post in thread: LV5048 How, Why, What, Where

    I finally got around to taking the LV5048 out of its box since more parts are finally coming in. Right from the get-go I'm having problems understanding the user manual. I realize this diagram is supposed to make sense to me, but it doesn't. I see that the inverter is the box in the center, but...
