Thanks. I haven't seen mine come on once. I'm only drawing a small amount of power form it though.

I bought it unboxed form takealot and the warranty seal was broken when I got it. I just want to make sure that is not broken.

Will try to plug some more things onto it.

ok my fan starts at 43w. Temps might also play a role will check later today

Thanks. I pushed it to 50w but not for long and the fan didn't come on. I'm only going to be drawing less than 10w form it so I'm wondering if I should keep it even if the fan is faulty.

Mine is inside a cupboard with my DVR and a hub and it is warmer inside so that might also play a role in my fan starting at 43w doubt yours will be faulty.

The gizzu and ratel fans also does not run you have to heat up the heatsink with a soldering iron or heat station before they start up.

On the titan the thermistor inside the battery pack going to check now if that controls the fan.

So its a combination of both temp and watts. Thermistor in pack alone only shuts down the unit if you unplug it or short it out and heat it up.

Thank you very much.

Seems like it's very well designed. I would have guessed that the fan would just stay on pernamently but this feature should help to extend the life of the fan.
 
My garage was flooded last night, and the batteries got wet too. It's a pylontec us3000.
It was in a standing position. Was working but still disconnected the battery.
Water was inside the battery, so stripped it open and it's now drying.
My question is, is the cells inside the battery sealed ? As the water has not actually touched the circuit, will it be safe to use ?
The blue line indicates the water level it was submerged in

I think the reason it was still working is because it was submerged in the "right side", away from the electronics and the wiring connections. Maybe suspending them upright would have been a better idea?

The rubber thingy at the bottom was not allowing the water to drain properly, so put it this way.

Edit :
Yes I wanted to move the battery higher up but the box was costing r7000 and I wanted to add more batteries as well . Lesson learned... will get a make shift bracket in the mean time and hang the batteries higher.

update on this.
It was working just fine. But now I started to notice some weird behavior.
The battery is not ready to charge above 65% and its sitting at that for 2 hours. The charging current is showing as 25A and the charging voltage is 53V, which is 1325 watts it should be drawing from ESKOM but when I check the actual prepaid meter, power output is at 601 watts, this is what my house is currently using and therefore the battery is not using anything.

I dont know what I can do next. I only noticed this yesterday and I dont know how to troubleshoot further.

Is this the best option at the moment? Looking at replacing my older Ratel 860P and repurposing the Ratel to power some lighting.

i just bought it as it had a large battery

The bigger the battery the better. I bought one of the smaller battery ones about 18 months back and the battery went from about 6 hours back then to around 3 hours now. Means I can't ride through a 4 hour slot (which is usually around 4hrs 15min)
