Yes, that Champion warranty is fantastic. Technically, I just need something to run 18A Solar charger if lost grid power (use grid assist for off grid system) to charge my 30KWH batteries with at least 2200Watts continuous power on PROPANE. Looks like the best deal in Champion line is...

Nice discussion. I really like the Dual Fuel option and this is why I've favored the Champion models over the Predator gas only models, but I just saw Predator 5000 dual fuel model (see below). Any thoughts on this model? I'm also looking at Champion 4500 dual fuel as similar cost and...

I spoke to Signature Solar who said bn5-G01 (looks like OO1) is normal on host inverter connected to batteries. It does not appear on the slave inverter. I would assume others see this too. This is not a setting but a displayed item when press on top right function button to see various...

I have two EG4 6500ex inverters in parallel for 240V split phase along with 6 Lifeforce batteries. When I walk throuugh selections I see a display of "bn5 top line and "001" bottom line. Can anyone tell me what this means? I find nothing in the inverter manuals. Furthermore, if I turn off...

FYI to help others and/or be corrected if doing it wrong: I am about to go live (with load) on my two EG4 6500ex inverters in parallel for 240V split phase. I have 10KW in solar panels (qty 22) and 30KW in Lifeforce batteries (qty 6). I originally was going to be completely off-grid but now...

I thought I should ad I have backed away from Silicon Gel batteries. I was drawn to them as protection from EMP event and batteries less costly. The bottom line is Lithium technology is so much cheaper when consider DOD and life cycles. I think I will go with SOK Rack Mount Will Prowse...

Totally agree PNW. My understanding to EMP a room is tens of thousands of dollars. Doorways, windows, and even pipes in/out of room must be hardened at ridiculous prices. Here is an example of an EMP portable room 4ft x 4ft x 6ft tall to illustrate how expensive this technology is, and it will...

Thanks PNW. I know its impossible to fully plan for EMP event, but batteries are an easy solution towards that goal. I have a message queued up for Ian to ask a few more EMP related questions. One is: does he sell spare boards for LV6548 and combiners that I can put in Faraday bag for backup...

I too was leaning toward Pytes. I spent yesterday reviewing Ian's site videos and his Silicate batteries caught my attention (see link below). In one of his videos, he said his Silicaate batteries likely the only batteries that will remain working after an EMP event - along with lead acid...

Here is the battery descriptions on watts247: https://watts247.com/product/pytes-48v-5-1kwh-rack-mount/ Here is the video of watts247 (I think Ian is the owner) who showcases these batteries in this video: :

Love your vision. I'm looking to similar design with LV6548's in parallel, Blue Sun bifacial 460W panels, and 5.1KW Pytes or SOK bank. Why did you choose Pytes?

Texican, I too was looking for EG4 battery bank to work with LV6548. I spoke to watts247 who said EG4 not communicate with LV6548, and was recommended Pytes 5.1KW batteries; pretty slick how batteries connect in parallel with snapon cable clips. I also saw Will Prowse using SOK 5.1KW batteries...
