Yep... let's hope

💯% agreed. Also very true trying to keep them warm constantly when it is sub-freezing temps 24-7 outside which it usually is in the winter at 7,000' in Colorado winters. I feel this solution has addressed ambient temperature for me before it ever gets to be a problem & is easily scalable with 1...

Nice, that is pretty interesting; definitely something to think about. While it may be more energy efficient for 1 battery, with 6 batteries to heat it may not be as cost effective? Also while it initially sounds good in theory, since it doesn't really effect the ambient temperature of the room...

It's really not a big deal, driveline not a drama. The batteries have no problem discharging below 32⁰F... but the BMS will not allow them to charge. I honestly think between the insulation, fridge/ freezer & the inverter that the heater rarely comes on. It's mainly just a backup. That said...

As noted in a recent thread, I recently bought 1 PowerPro & plan on buying 2 more to add to our system once the house is finished. Obviously these all have built in heaters. However, I also 6 LifePower4's that need to be kept warm that are kept in my insulated solar utility room which is kept...

In all for this & recently bought 1 PowerPro & plan on buying 2 more. That said it's kinda what I did for my 6 LifePower4's. I wired an additional outlet in my insulated solar utility room where the inverter & batteries are. I then plugged a $15 Thermocube plug (powers on 35⁰-45⁰F) & then put...

Which is really the same case with things like the 6500EX's & LifePower4's. Correct?

LiFePO's catching on fire?!? 🤣🔥🤣🔥🤣 A) The batteries that have a history of catching fire & burning uncontrollably is Lithium Ion...NOT LiFePO's...totally different animal & chemistry B) Not to say it can't or hasn't happen with LiFePO's but it's a pretty rare occurrence considering how many...

Totally awesome! 👍 👌 Please keep me (us) posted.

Hmmm... thinking about this a bit more. I think they're needs to be some kind of framed/case that allows you to stack one above the other & still maintain spacing. Preferably with a conduit wiring box that opens in the front & back etc.

That was what I was looking to find out @EG4_Jared . Thank you for weighing in.

💯 agreed, all points

I like it, thank you

Thank you. There are no inspections, besides septic, where I live so code is pretty irrelevant for me. However, safety & hence insurance coverage is. Any extra cost of wire is also a concern for sure...I do already have the cold crimping tool. I think I'm just going to have see how it fits when...

12" between is totally doable. I'm just hoping to stack one on top of another.

Gotcha, that is an interesting idea but nearly 310# a piece is a bit concerning to mount & then to have hanging there X3-4. I was thinking more of having them stacked on top of each other. The first question is can the one under take the weight of the one above. Next, as others noteisif...

Kind of... it actually sold on Friday. In the next few months, I will have a used one avaliable though.

Just trying to minimize horizontal real-estate.

I apologize if this had been discussed but have not seen this question addressed in my searches. I have just one currently, but in the end, I plan to have atleast 3 PowerPros. At nearly 310#, 35"x22.3"x9.1", the EG4 PowerPros are very stout batteries to say the least. With them being nearly 3'...

So... you planned this accidentally on purpose. 😉 Nice job!

Thank you Sir, I appreciate the feedback & input. 👍I actually hasn't realized that the HD lifted almost 7" higher... good point.

Thx. I think I'm going to get one sooner than later. I'm really not looking forward to placing & hanging my 300# PowerPro's or my 18kPV by myself. Also with my new 40'x40' free span garage/ shop, I think it will be handy to have around.

I get that. 😁

Dang. I wonder why? 🤔

Thank you, that is the plan. 👍 I'm thinking the Hub will be useful going forward.

Thank you! Appreciate the video. Coincidentally, I had ordered a Hub earlier this week... hadn't arrived yet. I'm currently running 6 Lifepower4's & 1 6500EX & 5.6kW bifacials. I have a 18kPV & 1 PowerPro sitting in the box for the house we are building. The plan is to add a 6000XP & 2 more...

Dang...nada. I wondered if this was the right place to ask this? Would love any input.

Just sent you a direct message about shipping & payment. That said, I don't ship things much but what I can tell via UPS & USPS...UPS is the cheapest. The USPS price did not include insurance or signature where the UPS does. BTW it is in its factory padded box 30"x22"x10" that weighs about 42#.

Basically your pot, pan or griddle becomes the element. Perfectly even heat with no hot spots & it automatically adapted to the width.

Good to hear, thank you! Especially considering the Lifepower4's (6) have been your greatest workhorse & the PowerPro's (3) likely will be. Please keep me posted, I'm pretty invested with these & a 18kPV & a 6000XP.

Living off- grid is about having a backup for your backup...period. Nothing should be off the table in my mind.

💯% agree... clean up is a cinch. Heck you can clean up WHILE you are cooking & not steam/ scorch your self with a wet rag while cleaning. Not to mention the other safety aspects. Instant on, instant off, instant higher or lower temperatures. So much safer with kids! I could have boilng water on...

Curious, which induction stove do you have? I had a Electrolux EI30IF40LS. It had high ratings but this model was sadly discontinued. 30" Induction Freestanding Range with Induction Cooktop and IQ-Touch™ Controls | Electrolux https://www.electrolux.com/en/product/EI30IF40LS/ BTW, is not that...

Was thinking the same thing. 👍

Interesting...as I had hoped as I just ordered one.
