    Not quite a generator, but my 803 is part of it soon...

    The latest version of the Chargeverter can communicate with the batteries. I don't use battery comm in my system (open loop). The current from the chargeverter passes through the system's main shunt so it keeps track of the battery bank SOC.

    You may want to use one of these instead of using the charger in your Growatt. https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-chargeverter-gc-48v-100a-battery-charger-5120w-output-240-120v-input/ The Growatt has to carry the variable load of the house while at the same time charging the batteries. You won't...

    Oh yes!

    I occasionally crew my brother's 68' trawler style boat when he's moving it. Always get stuck with the night watch. But to the point, one of the things I look forward too is being lulled to sleep by the steady sound of the diesel main engine turning at 1600-1700 rpm. A symphony of mechanical...

    Input requested - MEP-802A/803A Radiators

    Thanks Guyfang. They are both 802a's. I checked the LO, the -10, the -24 for the set, and the -24 for the engine and couldn't find any info on coolant flushing/replacement intervals. I did find specs on the type of coolant to use though. When the weather warms up a bit I'll flush them out...

    Input requested - MEP-802A/803A Radiators

    On the subject of radiator/cooling system maintenance , how often do you guys think would be wise to flush the cooling system and add new coolant in an 80x? I do know that the additives in coolant lose their effectiveness over time etc but I'm not sure if its related to use or if it just times...

    Input requested - MEP-802A/803A Radiators

    Just picked up 2 of these. They are indeed new old stock with the original packaging and the original inlet/outlet plugs from the factory. I hope I never need them but I am glad to have them in the parts stash. I have 2 802s one with ~600 or so hours and the other has never seen the field...

    Wet Stacking

    I think it should be a sticky on its own. The topic comes up a lot, either stand alone or as part of a different topic. The information is direct from the DoD and tells you all you need to know.

    What did I find in the bottom of my MEP?

    Dang, you must have been bored. Not so much because you did it but because you remember it.

    There's also this one that appearance wise matches what I bought a couple years ago under the part number (101586) listed above. Has a different part number now....not sure if something changed or if the vendors website is inaccurate...

    Feasibility of Solar Panel augmentation with existing MEP backup/additive power or just add larger genset?

    I do have a wood stove and we use it to augment the FHW oil fired heating system. We don't use wood exclusively but I keep a few cord on hand. Hot water is currently provided by the oil fired heating system. I am currently looking into heat pump water heaters and may switch over. Total cost is...
