I’m surprise this didn’t come with screen monitor to see the wattage of the item being used. Cheaper brand do come with one and i feel better seeing it.
@candyjamaican Some use battery monitors to see the power being used (Renogy have monitoring devices), but you're right that it might not suit everyone's needs. The EEL battery comes with Bluetooth monitoring. I guess there will always be other options available and cheaper ones at that. All the best, Adrian
I plan to use this with direct solar to DC Side. If clouds block the sun and there isn’t enough solar power, it will switch to AC power. When the sun provides enough light again, will it automatically switch back to using DC power?
@SynthToshi Thanks for your question. It's like a UPS. All the time there's mains power connected to the inverter, that's what will supply the two inverter sockets (regardless of DC source). Once that AC power is lost, the inverter sockets are then supplied from the 12V DC source (battery in my use case). I hope this answers it? All the best, Adrian
@SynthToshi You might be better off with an offgrid hybrid inverter (has everything in one box). This is an older video th-cam.com/video/PK0k16lQEa8/w-d-xo.html, but the 12V inverter still works fine and I use different 12V (LiFePO4) batteries with it. You can setup the source priority for the kW rating output on the inverter (whatever you choose).
Non related question but you maybe you can help. I have a Jackery explorer and a jacket solar panel . I am wanting to use the solar panel as an addition to the solar panel on my campervan. In essence I need the lead that I can plug the solar panel into and then can wire directly to my MPT controller on my van. I am unable to find online a female socket that the Jackery solar panel plug into. Thanks in advance, Ian.
@ianschofield7350 Hey Ian! I use a Jackery panel friendly cable/adapter combo on my detachable MPPT solar charge controller in this video th-cam.com/video/c9HxjIRtQlE/w-d-xo.html . It's a female DC input to Anderson cable, but comes with an 8mm adapter (assuming that's the Jackery solar panel you have). You could cut the Anderson connector off and extend the cable if needed (depending on your setup). The link is in the video description on that video (DC Input to Anderson cable (with 8mm Adapter)). Please let me know if that's what you're after as an option or if it's something else. All the best, Adrian
These high frequency, transformerless inverters have a much shorter life expectancy and a far poorer surge capacity than a low frequency, transformer based low frequency inverter.
@quickquote1568 Completely agree. It's all about choice and application though. Both have pros and cons, personally never had a HF inverter fail. The weight and cost are obvious differences, with LF being better for larger inductive loads like motors/compressors and longevity.
@@DADvinci Your very fortunate to never have experienced the failure of a high frequency inverter. I repair inverters for a living, several thousand over the past 24 years and the vast majority over 80% of the inverters that I have repaired have been high frequency inverters. When we did get a low frequency inverter in for repair, it was primarily due to lighting strikes, exposure to the elements, rodent infestation or miswiring where the output of the inverter was connected to the grid.

@@DADvinci I guess this device is not for me and need something with smart transfer switch.
