As a fellow legacy XW owner I am fairly certain an upgraded XW is required. When I had the Conext Battery Monitor set up with my FLA battery bank, the SoC triggers in the AGS would not start the generator properly. It doesn't work any better without the Conext Battery Monitor but with Lithium...

It's always frequency for me when this happens. Our big generators starter crapped out last winter and I had to use our cheapo Champion, and it was really cold (canada winter cold). The Champion was all over the place in terms of frequency. I widened the range the XW would accept, and then...

Not sure about that? Our XW6048 says it can charge at 100A and it does in fact charge at 100A, it doesn't derate anything.

Re-watch the video. It looks to me like the cell on the right is round terminal and the one of the left is octagonal?

I always buy our cars over the internet. Screw going into the dealers, when you can email a bunch without leaving the house.

If you want to run loads like that you should really be looking at a 24V or 48V battery bank/system voltage, it will be a lot more efficient.

I didn't think a response taking a few days was particularly slow, maybe my criteria for saying they are responsive is different than other people :D

If you compare an XW Pro against Victron or other high quality hybrid inverters, the cost isn't so wildly different. Maybe it seems expensive against some random EG4 inverter, but come on, lets not pretend they are even in the same league (in terms of quality) as Schneider, Victron, Outback...

I find this odd as they've been responsive to my inquiries, don't think they even asked if I was an installer or DIYer.

Personally I just followed the detailed installation diagrams and manuals and all went super well. They are easy to contact for support as well, whenever I email them with a question I get a fairly prompt response back. Most of the issues with Schneider gear comes when you want to be grid...

Email Schneider. They are pretty good about responding, they helped me set up our generator with the AGS.

...I said exactly that in my post...you even quoted it. And him being...sometimes upfront about it doesn't make it any more palatable a practice, IMHO.

Ray gets kickbacks from Docan when he refers people to him. Stop believing people in random youtube videos, they are nearly all not impartial and just living off affiliate sales.

You may be better served by just adding a 3rd party shunt and monitor?
