@svetz @erik.calco I’d be interested to see this conversation, focused around the last post above, updated as surely a lot of new tech has become available in the last year.
In further evidence of my ignorance will this device turn on and off the DC or the AC at set voltages? (You have to scroll down to see the detailed description.)

I do regret buying it. @smoothJoey could you point me in the direction of devices with drinking birds built in?
It appears the device in Will’s video would do it but it’s complete overkill for my needs.
It strikes me a strange that the revolution of being able to speak to, and automate...

Seems like an AC outlet or switch controlled by monitoring the battery bank voltage would get me close to what I think I want.
I’ve got an inverter/shore charger combo and I’m trying to wrap my head around how to maximize solar usage from a separate mppt charger.
Obviously if my solar power is sufficient 24/7 I can simply leave the inverter/charger unplugged and rely only on solar to drive the inverter.
But when I...
LVX6048 Is $1600 at Watt247. AC300 isn’t sold separately but the batteries are. So subtraction leads us to an AC300 price of, at best (prices have already gone up) $1300. With the exception of solar input it takes two AC300 to match a LVX6048 so $2600.
For someone with basic technical...
The quick answer to your question is the MPP LVX6048. With some exceptions (solar input the big one) the LVX6048 can do what it requires two AC300’s to do (6000w output, 120 and 240). The LVX6048 does this at about half the initial sale price of the two AC300 without batteries. Of course that...
I’ve been looking at this same inverter and now have the obvious question. What inverter should I get which will have a proper (higher) low voltage cutoff for lifepo4? (The problem identified in the original post.)
