    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    Hmm, well I made some new ones from the inverter to the batteries. The batteries are connected to each other using the existing ones.

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    I realize I'm necro-ing this thread a bit, but I thought I'd just give an update. I've resolved all of these issues with the CFE batteries by using a completely different inverter. I bought a more expensive Synapse 3.0 pure-sine wave, 24V, and got a battery balancer. And from now this does...

    Ah okay, thanks.

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    Not sure but perhaps this could be the cause of my issue, maybe the BMS is too aggressive for the CFEs? (Just wondering, I'm no expert): As per this article...

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    I'm going attempt that tonight hopefully.

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    Okay. So here are some findings. I have not yet tested all scenarios. I dunno what this means, but I suppose that does indicate some issue with the CFE's, or at least these I have. Notes - I tested both batteries together, as well as separate. - I tested with the Mecer 1000W Solar Inverter...

    I will do that.

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    I now have my two CFE1280s running in parallel on a new 1000W 12V Mecer inverter. It remains on when utility is cut, so I still don't have that mentioned issue on my batteries, and they appear to be working normally. They are now nicely balanced at ~13.5V each, and seems to be running smoothly...

    What I tested with was a laptop charge adapter.

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    So far I can see I can add any load to it while the inverter is on utility, and it will not cut out if utility is removed. I haven't gone above 300W yet but maybe I'll do a purposeful load test on it. I would love to wait for my 12V inverter first though, due to the unbalanced state of the...

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    I should mention that I'm not getting the issue where my CFE batteries don't hold the load through the inverter. It happens only if I add a new plug to the inverter during battery load that it cuts out. The inline-mode does catch my devices on 250W+ load and holds it for the whole loadshedding...

    Why the A380 superjumbo is staging a comeback

    I think the two engine widebodies currently available and future ones (777X. *.*) are just too good to justify using the 380 I think... It's probably just 'resurging' to deal with the current influx, but soon perhaps it'll finally be completely phased out to cargo only. Possibly.

    CFE1280s + Mecer 24v 1400W Inverter

    Sadly GeeWiz is taking longer than expected to deliver. :( I can say that my battery does not act the same as @vdM's. I am able to use them for loadshedding inline UPS easily. I can for example be pulling 250Ws on several appliances and my computer, and and if loadshedding hits, it easily...

    Yeah. I'm anxiously awaiting my 12V inverter. :D
