the answer is in the question !!!! chap says the Anker 767 charges from a home outlet its nothing other than the truck setup

Hi Ben @ Fogstar I live in the uk and am researching all my options for either a 15kva or 30kva battery option. Might you have a promo code to pm me ??? One thing that I hold up most with any purchase is after sales care I note you dont have a contact number on your web page, so is the only...

fixing arcade machines, was my first job after leaving school some 30 odd years ago, I loved that job. we used to service machines for a string off pubs.

A bit off a side step But can I ask you guys is it worth buying a Eco worth 100ah battery ???? Ive seen a stonking deal for one @ £175 inc delivery??? (100ah not my 50ah Renogy size) dont want to fall into the same trap as the Renogy, but at least with the Eco worthy, it uses four block EV...

I will look into a insight home, thanks. other than that, I will just use the schneider as a idiot inverter, no charger. and get something like the EG4 chargeverter

Grate video Watchdoc firstly, many thanks for doing Ankers job for them, I hope you get some kick backs from Anker, as no one should work for free. my question if you dont mind is if you have only the PV (solar) input plugged in and charging, can you pull full rated load of 2,200watt from the...

If I ever meet the Man Schneider, God help him they don't make it easy, why this bloody insight home and logging in to web pages etc etc A simple cable and a app will do, or Do they simply want our information ???? So I was happily logged into my insight home the other day for the first...

You would think that circuit protection would be fairly Stright forward, right?? well, I am finding it a worse task than choosing the right inverter/charger!! so, I am trying to build some protection from my four rack batteries to my inverter. (eack rack battery is 48v 100a) Two wires going...

its no fun being born with dyslexia, I can only do my best

I am running a schneider conect XW + Schneider recommend a minimum battery off 400a Question?? are we aloud to link relevant YouTube videos about this topic ???

and just like that, I am back to square one LOL LOL LOL I actually thought i was getting somewhere in my learning curve but your reply has shown me how at the VERY START I still am LOL All jokes aside, MAN DO YOU HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE!!!! My Batteries are from Fogstar UK see link...

My Thoughts were, you boat guys/girls have limited space and facilities, you have to be more efficient than us land crabs. I figured we could learn a lot from you guys especially when it comes to best use of solar and generators.

the manufactures goes on to list fuses and there reference numbers. (only I can not find them here in the UK) they are indeed 50ka and 100ka in DC (if I am correct) I was watching a video of some guy shorting out small 5amp cells and measuring the voltage, it makes you wonder what the short...

Are the Longi panels you purchased from city plumbing half cut cells ???

unfortunately, most are, that's one long flat bar to be copper

as per the title, I am curious to know what most of you guys with boats do for battery charging when there is little to no floor space for solar panels

from what I gather, fogstar used brass to help with thread stripping in the brass

Hi People Ive just taken the first steps into solar/off-grid/storage etc and purchased a Schneider inverter from eBay The inverter/charger (Schneider conect WX) is New, but it was old stock. Its supossibly still new and in its box. How can I safe guard myself and test it as soon as it arrives...

But As this guy (in video) Says The pv aluminium frame is not connected in any way to either off the pv positive or negative The pv frame can't come into contact with the pv cables (unless your sloppy in installation) Therefore grounding the frame does nothing other than say to a...

You just got to laugh or else you cry mine is steady to around 11.50V then it nose dives to 10v in minuets

@Ben@Fogstar thanks for the information, what the ETA on your rack battery's as of late????

Hi People just working my way through my system Finally got my unit up and running. BUT from what it seems, there is little to nothing I can do via the control panel except turn the unit on and off how are you guys setting paramotors on your Connect I am wanting to now add a Gen as the...

Hi Folks does anyone have a active promo code for SOK they could PM me plz

I was looking to hear people's opinions on the size of the standoffs and more so, the distance between the busbar and the cabinet. I was wondering if the close proximity was safe. At the end of the day, having two lathes, two milling machines and countless other equipment I can make any...

So, First off, I live in the UK I am looking to jump in at the deep end and build/buy a sever rack system. as I am green, I really need as much help and advice from the people selling me the goods, so first off, Where do you recommend I buy what I need from (UK) I am not even sure what size I...

Wow My most replied to thread too date !!!! I started this topic, simply on the assumption that I trusted my TriStar mppt over the possible new addition of a victron. (I have a TriStar 45a mppt and wanted to add a 20a mppt and found a good deal on the Victron) This is all a assumption mind...

am I reading the schneider Manuel wrong??? I read it as to say, it needs a 400a current limiting fuse AS WELL AS a 250a breaker

Hi I am trying to work through the maze off a off grid installation. I am at the stage of trying to learn what the Schneider insight home can do and what settings I should apply to best manage my Schneider conext XW+ I struggle to load to 192.168.100.1 page every time I type that into my...

I am wondering if a 230v a/c to 48v D/C power supply would work for testing ?? Not sure if I could find one with enough amps to run it properly

Are we on the same page ??? so, the 4/5 foot long buss bars x 2 that run the hight of a server rack battery cabinet, your saying both then 4/5 foot bars are solid copper, right???? Well my cabinet from Fogstar UK are certainly brass.

just wondering!!! is that not 6 panels then??? 2 plus 4 = ??? also, the max wattage of the 60amp is 3200 watts, if you have 8x425 you are over the limit!!!

Ben@Fogstar would my batteries be the newer firmware type, or should I up date plz ??

Hi Guys Please recommend or link a cheap Ish charger for a 50amp lifepo4 battery 12V that I can buy in the UK I was looking at around 10 to 15 amps mark. thanks, in advance.

Unfortunately I don't think the sunny island is a low frequency inverter I specifically need a low frequency inverter to run high induction loads

How funny !!!! Just minuets before logging on, on my pc and seeing this reply, I actually stumbled across this very same video whilst in bed, watching YouTube on my phone. yes the XW pro is a quality bit of kit and the video does indeed highlight my concerns. What I did note, was his air...

I am unaware if Victron do a low frequency inverter

Hi there people. I have a Schneider WX+ connected to four 5kw rack batteries, at the moment, I am charging via a Honda gen, as I am not grid tied. my system is new, and being off grid is new to me too. I am currently looking to add some solar panels, which leads me to what MPPT to use...

Hi People Does anyone have or can you let me know the direct email address for schneider se technical? I have the webpage, but the links I am selecting revert me to places I don't want to be lol I VERY quick rundown of my problem Bought a new insight home, connected it and done the log in...

o yeah lol 12v (but I will edit my post now, thanks

I am yet to go to my workshop where my cabinet is, BUT from memory, I would say the brass buss bars that I have in my cabinet are one and a half inch wide (38mm) and about 10mm thick. as promised, I will defiantly confirm this and upload a photo. I have been promised some free solid copper bus...

Got no where with the same admin account started a new account under user and it worked for some reason my password linked to my admin account was not having it cant for the hell of me understand why but switching to a different account name (ie user) and starting again worked hope this...

Thanks again SteveS I will be reading your replays a few times so as to let it sink in

No finger plastic. I know the ones you mean though. my brass bars are covered in heat shrink (as per the description I gave above)

for some reason, it went into non-invert mode, it is actually a function on the Shneider, shown by three dash marks on the digital display. pressing two keys together turned the unit back into invert mode. so, to illiterate, it has a on off mode, a standby mode and this non invert mode that I...

Hi there people. yeah yeah, I know, get over it lol But I am one for the little detail and I cant help but wonder. My dilemma is, choosing the correct class T fuse Most if not all, Class t rated fuses I've seen have a interrupt capacity of 20,000A DC for my 400A rated fuse. Littelfuse...

I guess no diesel/petrol generator as back up ??

Hi Guys, So, I am getting close to installing my solar panels, and as per normal, I was looking to protect my investment, one thing led to another from surge protection devices and then on to earth rods/straps for the PV array. before I link this very interesting video for you guys to watch...

yes you are not wrong, money I could spend on other things Unfortunately the Schneider cost me 2K (us sterling) and I really need to be sure it works as you only have 30 days for a refund

OMG Dont listen to me lol yes I am in, but only as a user, cant do as much as I could as Admin. how do I recover my admin password ???

WOW !!!
