    Why shouldn't I buy a 120AH Deep Cycle Battery at COSTCO for half the price of a GEL ?

    Best installed cheapest and accurate way to measure Wattage

    I guess it is via the Bluetooth + mobile app that you can see the measurement on the Victron charge controller? I bought the model without Bluetooth (BlueSolar MPPT) ? Thanks, I was wondering if 500 watts made sense for the inverter. Yes I was considering up to 2000W.
