    Alternative to pool sense device

    Hi, I have one of these pool sense devices that is supposed to monitor your pool chlorine levels and PH and inform you when they are incorrect. The device is often very inaccurate with the readings, especially the PH. It will report its too low but I test with strips and by taking a water...

    Earth Leakage Trip on Load Shedding Restore

    My inverter is before my earth leakage but also this trip happens on a different DB board from where my inverter is installed and has been happening since before I even installed my inverter. So its not related to the inverter in any way.

    Earth Leakage Trip on Load Shedding Restore

    Hi, I just wanted to find out if others are having issues with their earth leakage tripping after load shedding is restored and possible solutions. I assume it has to do with small surges on power restore as the condition does not occur if I switch on and off at the mains outside. I have...

    Opinions on "drop in" lithium battery replacements

    I have an axpert so I can set voltages. Wouldn't 10A be a bit low though? Hubble can go up to 40A and I charged them at 20A without any problems

    Opinions on "drop in" lithium battery replacements

    I have used Hubble and I know the settings are bulk 14.4 Float 14 Cutoff 11.2 This is all I found find about the CFE batteries Model: 12V100Ah • Nominal Voltage: 12.8VDC • Nominal Capacity @1C: 100Ah • Charge Voltage: 14.6VDC • Charge Current Recommended: 50A • Charge Current Max Continuous...

    Opinions on "drop in" lithium battery replacements

    I would also like to know. No one has stock of Hubble batteries for another month. CFE is all I can really find. Does anyone have any experience with them and what charge settings are you using

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    Ah yes I see now where he got the 2.5KW from but yes that 10A is definately not on the AC side. I wouldn't need a very big generator to charge my inverter batteries. So for me it would come down to whether a generator with an AVR (which produces modified sine wave) would be ok for charging my...

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    On the Axpert you can set the charge current to charge the batteries. I know my minimum is 2A but thats not going to charge the batteries much. The next step up is 10A. By setting the charge amps lower I assume Mordecai is then meaning it will draw less power from the generator in order to get...

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    That is very similar to what I already have but I know the voltage and frequency is not clean so would prefer not to use for my inverter and PC's. I wanted a generator with clean power.

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    Can you maybe link an example of one of these so I can see Wouldn't a pure sine wave inverter generator like this also work: https://www.takealot.com/gentech-2kva-digital-pure-sinewave-electric-start-inverter-gener/PLID70839124

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    Not from what I understand. The voltage is not consistant and neither is the frequency. That is why they recommend against running sensitive equipment on a normal generator. Only an inverter generator will give pure sine wave output due to the conversion from DC to AC and the internal battery

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    I do currently have a Ryobi 2.5KW generator but don't want to damage my inverter since the power is not clean. Then even if I leave my loads plugged into the inverter and plug my inverter into the generator, the inverter will move the loads onto bypass so my computer etc would run off the...

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    I have tested with one of those wattage meters and my inverter pulls just under 700W charging at 20A and running a small 100W load. So I shouldn't need something as big as 2.5KW should I? (I also have an Axpert)

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    Yes I have the inverter already. The inverter generator will be used to charge my inverter batteries and run my loads while I do so during extended outages. I fire up the generator, plug the inverter into the generator and it will run my loads and most importantly recharge my batteries. The...

    Recommended Inverter Generator

    I am looking into possibly getting an inverter generator to be able to charge my inverter during extended outages. Can any recommend a decent one. I see the Gentech ones seem to be quite popular on takealot and at least seem to have quite a few decent reviews. I see there are Ryobi ones but...
