Thank you. I will see you on Ebay. Have a great evening.

May I ask if you’ve been successful getting your GS8048 sold?

Steve_S, Thank you for this incredibly detailed and informative series of posts. Absolutely fantastic! Of course that caused an avalanche of a whole new line of valuable posts with even more information. Forget Marvel! You guys are super heroes in my world!

Looks like it’s within the spec. Do you have a spare controller you could try?

Is my understanding correct that you have your renogy panels in 2 array arrangement directly on one charge controller?

To all who answered my post... Thank you for taking the time to respond and for sharing your knowledge and experience. Ever since I’d been frequenting the forum you guys have made me want to learn more about this stuff every day. You all are an outstanding group of people!

@smoothJoey & @snoobler These are closed box battery “packs”. They are 16s. I’ve adjusted the charge voltage to 58 VDC and the charge current increased immediately from 17A & 15A to 26A and 30A respectively for each battery pack. Both packs started to charge very rapidly since the increase of...

@boondox The batteries are limited to the 54V max charge voltage. Yes, the generator is wired and running @240V. I’ve just this morning lowered the charging current to 30A and so far both units are accepting the charge @ about 13A &16A each respectively for the first time since installation and...

@ MisterSandals SOC displays on each batt. LED. Also, if each battery will display amps coming in as it is accepting the charge.

I bulked up my old lead acid 48V battery bank up with a generator to a full charge. My new LiFePO4 48V replacement charges up to 54V (top charging voltage as per mfg. spec.) and quits drawing current from the generator into the batteries. I don’t understand why. Consequently I am unable to fully...

Reliance upon a generator can bring its own set of issues. I do have a backup generator myself. Yes, it’s nice to have it in an emergency and to bring my battery bank up to speed. I will caution you that generators do require maintenance. Even proper maintenance does not guarantee bre downs...

WOW ?! What a great exchange of thoughts, ideas, and experience! Thank you all for your time and effort invested into helping others get where they need to be! I have been dealing with similar issues as Oldtimer69 in designing my own off grid replacement system for the current and outdated one...

Northern Maine?! Gorgeous country! Hey, SoGlider!

It great to be here in the company of like minded people. I am generally not big on joining any forums but I am excited to be among creative and independent minds. Like probably many before me I’ve ended up here after watching a Will Prowse video. I must admit that I haven’t watched them all yet...
