    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    I appreciate that. This site is by far much better even than "EDF.fr" which is the cause of much of my annoyance to date and thus necessitating the installation of ANYTHING which works, since in France the power can be disconnected for not just an hour or a day but just four days - leaving those...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    Nice of you Frank to give me those details. I was aware of much but of course so much better to correspond with someone who is actually there and clearly capable. Can I send you a personal mail somehow - all these micky mouse ikons which are supposed to be obvious are not so obvious to someone...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    Thanks Frank, stuck with a macbook with zero inputs (such as SD card) except for the USB C power for the past 8 years I can't get images into the mac without a lot of fiddling around. I thought mac was supposed to make life easier. But it doesn't recognise the wifi of the Panasonic camera...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    Does any one have a solution for discovering what the buttons are for on the PowMr ? I wrote to them via ebay and they said they would send me the instructions (I already have this and it is just trash with no real information), but I would need to give them my email address. I did so and the...

    Thanks for your many lines of comment Jim. I accept your point about cheapo, but can´t comment on amazon as I didn´t make the order but just told my mate what I wanted and he is a prime customer now for years so could have known about prime rules. Regarding cheapo stuff. I did originally order...

    Absolutely, in principle you are right. But I used prime trash with amazon 2 weeks ago and 90% of the articles have been lost and amazon send you to the 3rd party who send you back to Amazon and so it continues. Just 200 bucks lost but that is the way people expect to be treated. We don't...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    Well it charged for ten minutes and on checking I see it is back to failure state. Trash, nothing to be done with this crap. Return to maker and enclose the pitiful "manual" which we all agree is almost worthless. Expose these people from Shenzehn HEHEJIN industrial Co., Ltd CHINA, they have...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    Can't believe it. After disconnecting the PV about ten times today I then just touched one wire to the controller to see exactly what came on and off as I did it. Suddenly it was operating! It went to charging and in work mode 4.0 I have 36V from the PV and 16 Watts going into the battery. I'll...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    So I am back as after thinking it was working fine I left it with no load to fully charge the battery and came back to see it is back in the original not charging mode. I have made out a large chart to try to work out all the different modes in which this controller may be found. The display...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    The PowMr 6oA is working again. I disconnected the panels, the load (to which we are advised NOT to connect to a load) has been disconnected since this problem arose. Then I disconnected the battery and tried pushing buttons. Eventually randomly and holding the set button etc and all I could...

    PowMr are still ripoff, beware.

    Excellent youtube video you made Brad. My PowMr controller just stopped charging today. I'm in France and experiencing a heatwave but lots of sunshine and yesterday was producing 175Watts which is a record. The controller was getting warm and my Studer AJ 275/12 inverter switched on its internal...
