I hope to be able to get my little 500w power station running again even tho I know it won't do anything to help my whole-house solar system situation, otherwise it is a paperweight or doorstop. But it would be nice to use it for small-kine stuff. Looking into any hacks and tips, so those are welcome; thank you randomq!
And not sure if the unit is lithium or not, gotta try and find the specs. It is Paxcess/Rockwell brand, bought around 4 or so years ago. AFAIC, that company is sh*t. I was talked into buying it from a friend, who at the time thought they were great. They have since bought a Jackery....
As for my whole-house solar, I am pretty upset at how quickly my 4 AGM batteries have crapped out, but apparently it happens...some are really awesome and others, well, not-so-much, and I have no recourse and there is nothing I can do about them other than to try and keep them going until next Wednesday when my new LiFePo4 is installed.
I love the simple off-grid life until it isn't simple! Ugh.
Kalakoa, that's what my solar guy just suggested today when I got hold of him with questions about bypassing the batteries and just using the panels. Gonna try that for now. Just gotta make it to Wednesday...
Thanks for the tip!
