    Internet connectivity in garden flat

    You could also use something like two Nanostations to beam the internet connection from the house to the flat and install a cheapy wifi router in the flat to provide wifi and ethernet for the renters You could also forgo the nanostations and simply run quality outdoor rated ethernet cable...

    Focused Load-Shedding Solution Saves Money

    Could be wrong, but I think you could have done much better for 30k than three power stations (but I am far from an expert, so grain of salt) For R16K I got a lifepo4 2.56kwh battery and 1000W inverter Ran cabtyre to each room with a light and a plug for the essentials. For 30k you could get...

    1KW MUST Overcharging Lifepo4

    Just an update Option 13: Utility charging = 10A Option 14: Battery type = USE Option 17: Bulk Charging = 14.1v Option 18: Float Charging = 13.7v Option 19: Low DC cut off = 12v Noticed battery cells are now at 3.37v vs 3.47v when option 14 is set to Li so am I assuming these settings are...

    Gauteng businesses and homes to have pre-paid electricity meters installed by January

    Are they already busy installing? I am no electrician, but I think roughly six months is not nearly enough time to do the whole of JHB. Don't know of a single person or company that has been put on prepaid. But if done, I think it would be brilliant! No pay, no play

    Mecer 2400VA Inverter (Community Support) - Part 2

    Hey, thanks regardless... I learnt something and the discussion saved me from buying one as I can just keep my current one as both work off of voltage. Thanks to you and all the other posters, appreciate the shared knowledge

    Mecer 2400VA Inverter (Community Support) - Part 2

    Thank you for the information Think I should then consider investing in one of these down the line Noticed the voltage based one I have only mathces the app SOC for say the first 10% or so, then it can be off by as much as 5%

    Mecer 2400VA Inverter (Community Support) - Part 2

    Have looked at these myself as I currently use an app and having something like this that displays the info at a glance would be nice How does this unit determine SOC? does it calibrate to your battery, do you tell it the capacity? or does it work off of voltage? I gather the unit measures...

    1KW MUST Overcharging Lifepo4

    Was able to stop off at home and set Float to 14.1 as per your suggestion. Have loadshedding at 16:00 until 18:30 so will be able to see what it does then. Battery was already full from previous loadshedding, but using option 14 Li

    MUST inverters

    I have a 1kw Must inverter and a Revov 200hr battery on my unit. Base load about 40w and peaks at about 210w Read somewhere about the fan noice, personally found it very tolerable and not a problem and found the noice to be a non issue, and my unit is next to bed. My load is light enough where...

    1 year old gel batteries not lasting as long as they should ... had them tested, apparently they are 100% fine ... what could be the issue then?

    I closed my eyes, took the plunge and bought a Revov 200Ah 2nd life battery from Geewiz and can say I am happy and surprised by performance... was also needing new batteries after 8 months on LA Think even the Macer batteries have 2nd life options

    User Charging Settings

    Good day all. I am encountering an issue and was wondering if someone smarter could maybe shed some light. On my inverter in the settings menu (option 14) you can select the type of battery you are using, the options being, AGM, Flooded, Gel, Lead, Lithium ion, User. If I choose the Lithium...
