      You will only get what your inverter and receptacle outlets are capable/rated for providing and want to ensure they’re rated appropriately for safety reasons. 120v outlets are typically 15 amps, some 20 amps. A 125v outlets would be for larger kitchen appliances and rated for 20+ amps typically.

    I will do my research of course to compare, hard to find these videos. I recently had a LifePO4 fry after only six months of casual use, not sure why but it was under warranty and being replaced. I set up my 6x100 solar panels and three pairs of series then paralleled them to my Renogy Rover 60 amp charge controller.

    Yes, you can put in toilet paper (and wipes), you just have to empty it more often. It's one of the few models that actually buries the toilet paper rather than a cyclical float of paper with the other models (and it doesn't get caught on the mechanism like it does on other popular models).

    Hey Chad awesome video, a perfect tutorial to install a cubic mini. One question: the company is now recommending a 7" inch hole for the 5" pipe so there is a 1" clearance around the pipe. In your video you only cut a 5" hole for the 5" pipe. This is what I would like to do as well. It is what I have planned for and it would take a lot to reconfigure. Have you had any problems with your install in the last 3 years? Is having a 5 inch hole a problem as far as you can see? Thanks man!

    Since you turned comments off on your Cubic Mini video I will comment here knowing you'll read it. So here goes, You are Whiny !! You don't deserve a wood stove , All those negatives are NOT negatives, it's called LIFE USING A WOOD STOVE IN A NOMAD VEHICLE. You don't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed either .... Problem solving isn't your forte' i'm guessing. You should DELETE that video after how good Josh and the guys at Cubic Mini were to you. That's a pretty 'Karen' move to even make that video. I'm glad your channel is useless and please also Peel that fake moustache off you look pretty silly. So there ya go Dude.

    Unless you have somewhere to switch off temperature adjustment. Surely you need to set the temperature adjustment to 0mV /°C per 2v. Ok yours will probably be Fahrenheit but it will still be zero. This is difference in temperature from 25°C. Remember this figure is multiplied by 6 for a 12v battery. This function also reduces the charging voltage settings above 25°C. Also you left the charge limit voltage set to 15. The above formula takes the voltage above this and it is provided to prevent damage to connected equipment. 15 v divided by 4 is 3.75v. This is above the maximum charging voltage of LPO4 cells so you are likely to damage your battery in cold conditions. Probably somewhere between 14.4 (3.6v/cell) and 14.3(3.5v/cell) would be more appropriate. Note it may be that not fitting a temp sensor will inactivate the temp correction but some switch to temp at controller. However I would prefer to see it set to zero. You might want to Email the manufacturer again just to make sure. I say email as that gives you evidence of what was said. Best wishes
