    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    I am thankful to GeeWiz for refunding my inverter. I am now trying to decide between the Mecer 1200VA or the GeeWiz Axpert 1000VA. I don't specifically need pure sine wave for my application, so probably noise level is more of a deal breaker. The built in MPPT is nice on the Axpert though. The...

    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    Just curious as to why you wouldn't go with the Mecer? Do you specifically need PSW for this application?

    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    I had similar feedback from GeeWiz about the BMS consulted Hubble, who had a very different view. So I think I will return the Ceil For context this is GeeWiz support with Hubble support response in bold No response to this yet from GeeWiz

    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    Ah, the ctek has a desulphation stage which would be bad for the LFP

    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    So I got this back from Hubble: Not particularly useful. GeeWiz are offline until Wednesday again. Have contacted Excide Industries Limited via their website - but am not optimistic of a reply. I want to try charge the battery. I have a ctek 0.8A charger for my motorcyle SLA battery but I'm...

    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    Yeah so this Ceil inverter is great, pure sine wave, silent and cheap. But the charge controller it comes with doesn't seem to work well with LFP batteries. I will do another test later today and report back but was seeing very similar results to CaptainCrazy over the weekend. I will contact...

    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    Thanks for the help guys. Most of the Hubble inverter guides are for the larger batteries X and AM series - not for the S series drop in SLA replacement. I'm also leaning towards the Ceil being the issue. The manual says to only use LA batteries, although GeeWiz says they should work with LFP...

    Ceil Inverter 850VA (600W) PURE SINE WAVE (Mecer Alternative) Lead Acid Only

    I have the same setup that arrived yesterday. (Ceil 850va & Hubble s120) The battery was initially on 13.1v - it charged to 13.4v within a few minutes and sat there. I left it overnight and it's now on 14.4v according to the charge controller but still charging. A multimeter shows 14.15v-14.40v...
