  • Post in thread: Sensata (Magnum Energy) going out of business????

    I heard “from a very reliable source” (who owns a distribution network which carries Magnum gear) that the Mexican factories to which they moved manufacturing kept getting burglarized and tools and materials were getting looted… and that may - along with other issues mentioned in this thread may...
  • Post in thread: Using Heterogeneous Gear? Magnum and Xantrex?

    Hi Folks, I’m planning on some type of 48v offgrid solar and inverter system for my wintering RV lot down in Yuma AZ (something like the EG4 6000xp and either Ruixu or EG4 wall mount batteries - eventually). BUT… right now I have a bunch of stuff to use (cheaply) that I’d like to toss on the...
  • Post in thread: Using Heterogeneous Gear? Magnum and Xantrex?

    Ok. I guess I got my disappointing answer. I can only use the me-bmk-l and the me-arc50-l with a magnum inverter. The pt100 MPPT controller will operate stand alone. Dumb! Not the answer I was looking for. Guess I’m gonna be in the market for a cheap magnum pure sine wave inverter…...
  • Post in thread: Anyone Used ELITE NEW ENERGY batteries?

    Will, et al - Anyone have a "proven track record" on using China-sourced "Elite New Energy" batteries? Yes, with LiFeP04's a year is a long time, since we're talking new players on the market every week it seems. They are a low cost source (apparently less than 1/2 of BB's - delivered to...
  • Post in thread: Recommended PV Array Wire Vendors

    Is buying Solar (PV Array) wire safe to do on Amazon or will I be buying cheap garbage with no quality control which will catch fire!? Can anyone provide a recommended vendor for 8AWG Solar wire? I need to run several long lengths 50-75ft one way (so will need to spec it out for a round trip...
  • Post in thread: Eco-Worthy 195w BiFacial Panels…. Anyone have positive experience using them?

    I’ve bought my second EG4 Hybrid Mini-Split HVAC unit (I love them!) to deploy on a 200sqft shed building on my property and it being a 10’ x 20’ roof dimension - coupled with the EG4’s 12amp max input on the DC PV array, I was thinking of buying 8 of these bifacial panels and putting them all...
  • Post in thread: Sensata (Magnum Energy) going out of business????

    Ya - I really just need a magnum inverter and I suppose I could go two directions. Buy an msh3012m and put all the magnum gear in my rv….. OR — buy a me4048 or me4024 and use it on my off grid rv lot. Not sure. What’s the rated output of a 4448? 4400va? Tom

    What is the “PAE” extension suffix? How does that differ from just the ME4024?
  • Post in thread: RV AC Wiring with Victron MultiPlus-II Inverter

    I guess there’s a lot of us with similar “early 2000’s stock RV setups”…. Also don’t want to hijack the OP’s thread ;-) But I’m also in the “investigation stage” of figuring out just what new gear I want to put in my 40’ diesel pusher motorhome and how I want to wire it up…. As many RVs were...
