Opinions on Mecer Inverter

In the manual for the Mecer inverter is says that a switch should be installed on the positive lead to the unit. Is anyone doing this?
 
I always thought the fan is some type of thermal cooling. Keeping the electronics cool when under load. Maybe this model works in reverse. Lol.
 
I still dont understands why you need two batteries on the 2400 model.

I want longer load time not extra volts.

Surely I can run one 12v battery and then add another when budget allows?

I understand that one battery will give me limited load (I cant utilise the full 1440 watts)

Will not start up on 12v if it does will boil batery at 24v
 
So the circuit breaker is for the DC protection. I know the Ups has some internal protection built in. What about earth leakage protection when it's running of the battery?

The UPS does have high DC voltage protection, but if something goes wrong I'd still want to cut the juice from the batteries.
 
If you were to install a breaker do you think the fan will go off but still pass power through the inverter? could be an option if you know sort-of when load shedding will occur, then you can just flip the switch and the inverter will be online for any power cuts? and it will be silent for 99% of the time?
 
Maybe one can just add a switch to the fan. And switch it on when there is load shedding. Or move the noisy ups. Lol
 
A switch on the fan I my ultimate goal. That's what I've asked Mustek. Don't see the need for a fan when charging surely? Agree on a fan when in battery mode tho. That's a few hours daily but the recharge is going to be 9 hours with a noisy fan!

The ellies inverter, has a fan when on battery power, as well as fan on when charging. Once it is done charging, the fan stops.
 
The issue is that while charging it gets very warm.... dunkyd, what did mustek say?
 
Not replied yet. Sadly my Mecer does not seem to switch off after charging ? Only 1 recharge so far. Maybe next time or after I get a second battery connected ?

Huh?!

Two 12V batteries in series is 24V and parallel is 12V.

That was my thought.

How would I get longer capacity usage (longer load) on the 2400 model? On the 1200 I would add more batteries in parallel but am still limited to 770 watts.

Would I have to use 4 batteries to give me 24v and longer capacity?
