Yep, saw those and the Jakiper as well. Seems like lots of good choices. I've been watching Prowse as well. I've been trying to find one of these
Magnum Energy MS4448PAE
But they seem to be on backorder everywhere. Dang. Debating on whether or not to get the batteries now for fear they'll...
So I started researching server rack batteries. Lots of advantage to the simplicity of racking and using bus bars instead of a bunch of series/parallel cables. Plus the price as you mentioned is good. I can get 48V 100 Ah for nearly half the price of 4x12V 100Ah.
If you have a moment and...
Damn. 300 AH at 48v? You've got some runtime there!! I've definitely settled on LIFEPO4's, not sure of the brand yet though. What are you using? Any thoughts on Battle Born?
Thank you DA. Your response is quite helpful. What is the V / Ah / chemistry of your battery bank?
As for solar, maybe down the road a bit. Right now my primary objectives are to load down the gen a bit during the day (efficiency) and maintain critical circuits at night (or during the day)...
Hello Kurt,
I'm considering the MS4024PAE. The little brother to yours. Probably a 200 or 400 Ah 24V battery bank to start.
Can't tell you how glad I am to have you weigh in as this stuff is smack dab in the middle of your wheelhouse. Glad to see you chose Magnum Energy. Are you...
I'm considering installing a Magnum Energy Magna-Sine inverter in my house to energize a critical loads panel. When utility power is out here I don't run the generator overnight. During the day, for most of the time, the 802 is very lightly loaded so the charger draw will load down the gen a...
Seems like you might be dealing with gelling fuel. The fuel in the filter and separator will be warm(er) due to heat in the enclosure from the warmth provided by the arctic heater. After it runs through the warmed fuel it now has to draw the bone cold fuel from the tank that sits at the other...
My intent was not to recommend a model, just to let you know that I had made 2 purchases that happened to be 802a's. Very happy with both transactions and both machines.
Since you have seen this unit run well in just the last 2-3 months and now all of a sudden neither IP is delivering fuel to the injectors I would first check the pressure of the fuel feed from the electric lift pump through the filters to the IP's. Doesn't make sense for both of them to get...
Hello WD. Rochester NH here.
There's a member here "Light in the Dark" in western MA that deals mostly in 802a and 803a sets. I have bought 2 802a's from him. He's a straight shooter. Might be worth getting in touch with him.
Really none of my business but.....it seems odd to me that you would want to get this running so he can charge you for a running generator?? If you pay to have someone get it to a state where it will run well then its now worth more money isn't it? What if he decides that now that its running...
