    Inverter on MPP 1012LV not working?

    I was actually able to set (actually unset) the ECO mode from the front panel. Setting #4 I believe.

    Inverter on MPP 1012LV not working?

    No errors...you nailed it though. Eco mode was causing low powered items to not work. Turned off eco mode and all is well! Thanks! 1-Handled mini fridge just fine. Nothing else was on. 2-The low setting on the hair dryer was 650w. Worked fine. I was just trying to check if I could get...

    Inverter on MPP 1012LV not working?

    Last fall I installed solar, an SOK 206 battery and an MPP 1012 all-in-one in our RV. Solar charging of the battery works great. Problem is I can't seem to get much useful A/C out of the inverter. It hasn't really been that big of a deal, but I would like to get it right. I can get the...

    Crimpers-buy once; cry once

    I’ve had the TemCo TH0005 v2 crimper for about three months now. No leaks so far but I haven’t crimped that much stuff yet. There are replacement o-rings in the case so at least one rebuild is possible. Seems decent quality so far. This crimper will do larger than you are looking for, down to...

    Aili battery monitor standby current

    Nothing scientific, but when I had my battery disconnect in my RV switched off I was showing less than 1W. Battery percentage was unchanged after a week.

    AIO settings for RV service visit?

    That’s not feasible as the dealer is 90 miles away. Different battery is possible.

    AIO settings for RV service visit?

    Unfortunately our RV has a slide issue. It’s going into the RV dealer next week for what could be an extended stay. What AIO battery settings do I set that won’t overcharge or shorten the life of our new 206Ah SOK? The RV could sit in their lot for weeks or possibly months, and be either indoor...

    Female newbie questions

    I ran my fridge and a chest freezer off my Honda 2000w inverter generator for a day when our power was out. No issues.

    Just finished my RV solar install

    I’ll likely do that. Didn’t know about the low quality breakers when I was buying parts.

    Yep, AiLi shunt. Still need to mount the display.

    Just finished my RV solar install

    That’s the negative side to the 12v system.

    Just finished my RV solar install

    2x 200w Rich Solar mono-crystalline panels, MPP 1000w all-in-one, and SOK 206Ah battery. It appears everything is working. Just some cleanup to do.

    momentary surge and inverter/cable/fuse sizing?

    I just put 2/0 into the same MPP you are looking at. There is a clip-in plastic “grommet” that you can pop out that allows a 2/0 lug through. Without taking the grommet out 2 awg is probably the max.

    Cable size/fusing

    I got the V2.0 a few months ago. Same model that went up in price $4.

    Cable size/fusing

    I bought the same Temco TH0005 crimper above direct from Temco and it was closer to $157 delivered. If you order from Amazon, it’s drop shipped from Temco anyway.

    Just got my battery, now what?

    I guess I might not be using the right terminology. I want an inverter to run AC (alternating current) circuits, not A/C (air conditioning). My question on running both, or one, air conditioning units is only when on shore power. How is that wired? I’m assuming not through the all-in-one. I...

    Just got my battery, now what?

    My (1st) SOK 206Ah battery arrived today. Now what? I'm a total noob with most things electric and have never dabbled into solar. My wife and I have a 30 foot RV trailer. The single LA battery is about dead so I decided to replace it. Due to the covid RV surge, it is getting harder to find...
