    Renogy Support on a failed inverter...

    your post is not at all surprising and is the typical procedure with Renogy wear you down with BS until you give up. We had a customer with a brand new Renogy AGM that could only deliver 72% of its rated capacity. Renogy never did warranty his battery.

    Half price electric cars

    A car is worth nothing with no manufacturer. Ask Saab owners how their values held up. Hell my brother pre ordered a Ford Lightning it is the biggest POS on the planet and the Ford dealers won’t even take it on trade towards a diesel F series… It’s worthless…

    DIY battery longevity

    I have purchased a lot of cells from 18650. They have never shipped me one that did not meet capacity. I fully test each cell for IR and capacity.

    Alternator charging issues, only getting 26A (Sterling Power)

    As a US Sterling dealer/distributor we would never, ever advise the Sterling A2B chargers for LFP.
