    Numerous first timer "pre-buy" questions, can I get some help?

    I built my 13kw for $2300. Looked at rack batteries, grade B genfung batteries at 3x the price of mine. My first 24v "tester" pack to make sure the batteries were solid and GTG. This guy on youtube has tested every battery and solar system out there. He said this was the best rack mount.

    Thanks for the 411! I am so glad I didnt bid on the 10k 803. Im scratching my head as to how I can pull 40a. I have a 1 bdrm cabin off grid built around being self sufficient. Maybe I can mine bitcoins with a server array while charging? :)

    OK thanks, thats good info. So, currently Im pulling 12a/120v and that will go to 20-24a/120v when I upgrade. Would the 802a be at 50% with those loads?

    Numerous first timer "pre-buy" questions, can I get some help?

    What should a ballpark price be for an 802/803 genset? Should I shy away from an 831? Would the 803 be overkill and wasting gas? Occasionally, while charging at 40a/24v and maybe running the 700w microwave on transfer the chest freezer can kick on drawing 23a/110v peak amps and settle at...
