    VICTRON Smart Solar charge controller 150/60 -Tr (AS NEW $300)

    Yes, the new ones are $350+ , most people pay tax on top of it. Also, some people confuse Smart Solar with cheaper Blue Solar models, it's not the same. Smart solar has Bluetooth built in, also feature to attach display module.

    VICTRON Smart Solar charge controller 150/60 -Tr (AS NEW $300)

    Selling my charger controller that I purchased brand new and used for about 6 months. I upgraded to a higher voltage unit and I won't be needing this one. It's in perfect condition, not a scratch. Asking $300 and I'll ship within lower 48 states. I'm in Charlotte area and I could deliver...

    Samlex EVO 4024 Inverter/Charger , like new -PRICE DROP to $1750 , North/South Carolina

    I'm selling my EVO 4024 inverter/charger. Shortly after I bought it I decided to go to 48V system and I purchased 48V split phase unit. This 4024 inverter was in service for about 2-3 months total under very light load. You're basically buying a new unit. I kept it as a back up since I thought...

    Inverter capacitor charging spark!

    Probably, but I really wanted to try this 10W 10 ohm resistor I had here laying around, if it can handle it , and it did just fine.

    Yes, that's what I was thinking, to check on the inverter side as well.

    Inverter capacitor charging spark!

    Ok great, thank you. I'll give it a try, maybe tonight. Would you say holding it to pre-charge for about 20-30 seconds with this 10 ohm piece should be enough? I can't hurt anything if I hold it longer for the very first time, if anything it just gets warmer or hot, right? That goes back to...

    Inverter capacitor charging spark!

    What I'm doing right now is really just a temporary solution to quickly connect the inverter to the batteries before the proper size resistor arrives over the weekend. So I'm trying to "wing it" with what I have at hand right now. Later on I may or may not build the disconnect switch with the...
