    Wow is all I can say

    for me masking, how it works, what masks work and why were perfectly illustrative of how willfully ignorant most people are in this country. Well after it was established that only a proper fitting N95 mask is the only mask that offers any sort of actual protection from Covid in the air, the...

    Voltage drop across blue sea fuse

    I know it’s not cheap…. But you could see if the voltage drop is repeatable with another identical fuse.

    You definitely have something exceptional going on there. My country settings are all locked and require grid guard.

    Sunny Boy and Sunny Island

    Can you please elaborate? When you say signed into the inverter’s web interface, you mean logging into the inverter via wifi and then signing in as the installer? Did you do this after your initial commissioning period?

    If you read the title of the thread, there is no mention of seeking resolution here. The post served to inform users here of a rather terrible experience with victron. If he gets resolution, then he will take the post down. Like others have already mentioned, I don’t regularly read the...

    Boat Batteries – Help me Make a Final Decision

    EG4 new AIO rated 12K output and 18kPV aka "EG4-18Kpv-12LV"
