@mylesj That cheaper charger should work just fine. But note that it's only a 1,000 watt charger. It will take approximately 10 hours to charge you...

@joel-brodeur He's using this inverter like it was a backup generator - he's plugging the output into a TS where a generator input would go. I pres...

@joel-brodeur Well, OK. That's weird but if that's how the product works, so be it. What you just explained is consistent with all the photos &...

@mylesj Let us know here what you finally resolve as the charging problem. Have you measured the grid input at the inverter with a meter?

@mylesj FYI, be aware that your SOC is not going to be accurate now until you get a full 100% charge on these batteries. Your SOC is currently abou...
