    Do I need to pre charge a 24v 1500w inverter before connecting to LiFePO4? Can anyone recommend specific resistor to buy?

    I really don't know why this method is not discussed more. It works really well with readily available parts. I used this method yesterday while testing an MPP-2424. As well as giving me an idea when the capacitors were charged, I could also test for how long it took for the caps to discharge.

    Horsefly's New 160Ah Build

    Hi Horsefly, I need some advice. I’m currently making a very similar build to yours (Also got my 160’s from Jenny – Great service!).

    No worries Coop, no need to reply........The link for the manual on the JBD web site was not working when I posted above. The link is now working and I have the installation manual.
