Running it hard is good for it. Like anything other than a nail, dropping the hammer on it is NOT. Hope it lasts a long time.

If you are talking about Adelmans, I urge caution. They did a bait-n-switch on me on a DM4. I'll not buy from them again and will recommend anyone else not buy from them as to not fall for their false advertising BS either. Strictly my opinion. As far as what you have now do a full rebuild...

Yep, battery too drained. That is why I suggested disconnecting the battery and starting it. That will tell you right away if your charger is working. I don't even have batteries in my 831 right now. I just pull start it.

I recently picked up a 80's vintage Kubota tractor with front end loader. I don't know how I lived so long without one of those things in my life!!

Disconnect the battery and pull start it. Does it run?

Have you ordered new membranes? According to the documents the skid uses Polyamide membranes. You can't store those in the housings for long without them becoming damaged. Also, you can't dry them out after they have been wet. Drying them will destroy them.

You can power the unit from 12-28V DC. There is a connector for that. Make sure you get the cable. I power mine in the field from either solar panels or from the trailer plug on the back of my truck. Works great.

You need to troubleshoot the governor module.

That sounds pretty normal. Have you load tested it?

How bad is it? What are you comparing it to? The 802 is known for being a bit lumpy. Not much you can do about that with a synchronized twin.

+1 Its not going to hurt your situation. That's for sure. You need to do more troubleshooting to know for sure where the problem is.

Not adaptable.

They may work with LiFe batteries. Will still need a BMS but its doable.

OK. You'll have about a 20v drop at the AC unit when it tries to kick on assuming 600' of 1 gauge copper. That is more than what you typically want to see but I don't think that alone is your issue.

Is the service cable copper or aluminum?

It is likely something simple. That doesn't mean it will be simple to figure out. ;)

There is more going on here than just that number. If I were putting $$ on it I would first change the caps on the ACU. With it running for hours they could have gotten hot. Hot and partially dried out caps = a really hard starting compressor. Also if your unit short cycled and you still had a...

That is a real number but in practice it lasts for such a short period of time its USUALLY not an issue. Its when caps get soft, when generators are a little weak, or you have a lot of wire in the power path that this number blows up into a real problem.

An 803 should have no problem starting that if its not otherwise heavily loaded. You need to determine if its a low capacity issue on the generator or a higher than normal inrush on the AC. I would suggest taking new motor capacitors for the AC when you go back next. Get the hard starting...
