    Very tempting. I've got a pair of brand new 12V LiTime 100ah so I could series them with that setup. When camp is going we will typically run the generator for dinner and drinks so I know we'd have a full charge available. Myself or my father would be pretty frugal the rest of the time on...

    Sent a clarifying email before looking at other options. The rep thought my 32A was SFA vs inrush. The 5kva for 10 seconds is enough. I would like to think a 25% cushion makes it a capable enough choice. Feels good to be a step closer. What appears to be 10 years of a warranty through them has...

    Wow lots of information on this forum. Kind of like drinking from a fire hose. I love how active the community is. I joined up after this year's deer camp and a headache I'm no long interested in dealing with. The 'cabin' is a mid 90's modular home (basically a glorified double wide). It is...

    To be clear the generator is located in a barn and a gen cord is wired to a box, through conduit to the cabin main panel. Mimicking utility service. I'm under the impression I would need to interrupt that feed to the panel but am looking to see if I can get away without cutting too many holes...

    Saw a note about only shipping domestically in Canada. Maybe that is just for batteries? What country are you in? Very interested in your bench test.

    Finally got camp opened up. Inrush for the pump is just shy of 32A. Lasts one second. Then she runs 10.6 to 11.6 for around a minute. My generator supplies 119.6V under no load and was at 112V when the pump was on. Looked on currentconnected.com at a multiplus 24/3000 which appeared to have a...

    I appreciate the ideas. I like the ionic AIO for in the barn. It's only going to be used for 2.5 months worth of weekends out of the year so I'd like to keep the investment down. I'll need to figure out how to protect it from porcupine and raccoon excrement.

    I'll have to check in inrush of my pump when I open camp in the spring. I vaguely remember it pulling over 12 amps running. Having everything Victron would be kind of cool if I ever moved the setup to civilization and could use the interfacing options. From your name, I'm guessing you are near...
