hello dave, my name is doug thompson and am upgrading my old solar generator for home. I have installed 2 MPPT 60 SCC, but then found by reading the manual several times, that they do not provide Xanbus power source. I read a post you made back in 2015 on the AUX output powering a SCP. Do you know of any external Xanbus power supply? In my upgrade process, getting the XW Pro is over a year awhile in my phase 3 of 5 phases.thanks0 ·December 2 -

Hi Mcgivor, I have come across a company CMX, and made an inquiry about a 500 AH battery, using 50Ah cells they work out to $82. 100AH equivalent to compare with your set , Price also includes a BMS that has comm. abilities. With shipping price is $3880 US added.I can forward the quote and specs If you would like. I am going through the specs and write up today.cheersEric0 ·November 25-
mcgivorHi Eric
That's a good price including shipping and BMS, sure I'm always interested, another set of eyes looking at specs can't hurt.

RAJ, I am very interested in your system and any experience with Electric Car Parts, which is where it looks like you bought your batteries based on the spec sheet you posted. I am verging on ordering 96 (yes, 96!) of their Fortune 100Ah batteries as well as a BMS set up and I am desperate to hear others' experiences with the company and any other advice you would care to offer. I can be reached at [email protected] in case I fail to see a reply here which is possible because I barely found this thread and don't check nearly often enough. Thanks, hope to hear from you.0 ·November 23 -

Hi rick , it seams like I will be well built home from now on ?It sure seams like someone turned off the sun at my place , it been snowing for days and down to 0 at night .
My battery’s where looking low the other night and it’s to cold to use my c pac machine to sleep with so I tried to put the inverter into search mode
The inverter would start to search and the lights would blink 4 or 5 times then the inverter would turn back on for 5/6 seconds the start to search again .After hunting around in the mate I found the search settings and adjusted the sensitivity from 25 to 30 and then the search mode stared to work as expected .I did test the search mode last year and it worked fine at the 25 sensitivity setting .
I ended up turning the AC power out put off and it did not search continuously even with no load ?Could I have a power leak in the inverter that keeps the inverter on ?Or am I just being paranoid and just be happy with pushing the sensitivity up a little bit?
I’m still a little fuzzy on the best way to charge my battery’s .I do have my 3 1300lb concrete blocks in position for my ground mount 9 panel array but the weather has turned to crap 💩
My daughter Has been helping me but she gets less then Enthusiast when the temperature gets down in the single digits
And the snow is blowing side ways so I think the winter array will have to weight till next year .I’ve have my generator in the shed with the Exhaust run outside.I use 15% battery power over night , so in the morning my battery’s are around 85% if I run the generator for one hour I shoot up to 95% at 900 am , then we worked all day with saws compressors and power tools run off battery power .
the next morning my battery’s are down to 75% ( this number look higher then I would expect ) if I go a second day with out charge it would drop me to 55% is this to low ?should I just charge after a day and a half so @ 65%
or just charge to 95% every morning .
or is there a % of charge I don’t really want to go under ?
I set up a timer in the shed to turn on a 100 watt light bulb at 700am For a hour to heat the Honda from below .The generator has a 11/2 “ foam board box over it when It’s not being used ,The generator is putting out 2000 watts up to 95% then it takes a hour to get to 100% .

Wellbuilt,
I have not heard back from Whit yet if my password reset worked or not (he did not get the reset email, I next just entered in a new password).
If you would like, send me a new password, I will enter it.
Take care,
