Their small chargers do run hot, with no fan as far as I can tell but their 450/100 has a fan...not sure how long mine will last but I'll surely report it here. So far its many times better than Chinese AIO.

I won't touch another EG4 with a 10ft pole

Closets are cheaper

I installed mine in a closet under the stairs. No worries about equipment getting stolen or batteries freezing.

quite possible but not sure where that would be. I will be moving my diy batteries to shelving pretty soon so I guess I will make sure once again.

First I had the smartshunt device set via VRM, and no I investigated the voltage history, never went down to 43.3 like it said. My bms would've shut down down at that voltage. What I did next was set the alarm within the smartshunt itself and that worked perfectly. same with the gen start...

Anyone use VRM to alert low voltage, etc? Seems anything I try to monitor, I always end up with false alarms. Just now it said generatory start relay 1...but it's not even at the voltage to even alert or start the generator. Generator never actually starts, btw. Well it's really AC in. Few...

Save your money. A little dimming of the lits hasn't killed anyone.

I would hope so for the cost. Most decent sized inverter will run that well pump.

Paypal worked for me when buying from China...

YouTube is all you need. i setup a pair of he 5k's in no time at all, with monitoring, etc. Easy as pi. Mine didn't even come programmed and I was able to program it in a few mins. Research research research.

Cerbo def worth the 200ish. No hassle and probably cheaper in the end.

Stop wasting time with Chinese inverters...esp EG4s. Buy Victron and sleep well. Been there done that.

Have been running 2 jk's in parallel for over a year now. NO issues.

After trying all the cheap chinese inverters, EG4, MPP solar, etc and finally went with Victron. Solved all of my problems. That makes me happy.
