    Renogy ONE monitor/switch interface - good and bad

    Got some marketing blast earlier today, gotta hand it to them, it looks pretty good and seems fairly capable. Looks like it pulls from all the Renogy devices that have RS-485 or Bluetooth, and supports RV-C, so should be able to talk to other inverters, tank level sensors, etc., and provides 3...

    NMEA2000/SAE J1939 protocols and sensors/displays

This is on an RV/van, I have all three methods of charging, solar, alternator, and shore/generator. I'm planning on...

    Lion Energy Safari UT 1300 - $699 @ Costco

    Anybody jump on this deal yet? I was pretty set on just throwing all my money at Battleborn and having a proven battery that I wouldn't have to worry about, but it's almost like buy-three get one free at this price. @Will Prowse did a 160A test on the UT 1200, I'd hope the UT 1300 would be an...
