    I noticed this video is 2 years old. We are curious if you are still as happy with the system. We have a 210 model but are not convinced its working up to spec.

      I have been very happy with ours, getting it dialed in took time, but i found the best results for me are switch on voltage 11.8 and switch off voltage 13.5 . sometimes i also turn it on and off manually, one reason is because my alternator wont charge the battery over 13.3 or so volts only shore power gets me to 100% i get 5 amps typically not the 6 as advertised for 22 hours run time. i just pulled the system from the sailboat and will be moving it to our new Monk Trawler

    I've got ~1400Ah of AGM aboard, but run a lot of loads like office and ship computers, a full Maretron monitoring network, hydronic diesel heater (for hot water and heating), wifi router and dedicated LTE radio, electric cooking, etc. My average draw at anchor is around 30A (~7kWh/day), offset by 1kW of solar (averaging ~3.5kWh/day).
    The new Pro 2800 looks like it would almost close the gap, but it's so damned expensive. It's a shame. If it was half the price and came with a reasonable membrane replacement policy, I'd be on it in a heartbeat.

      Its been perfect for us, gives me 5.5 amps offset into the battery bank for 22 hours, takes a break for 2 then goes again as needed...

    Amazing video, but do you know how much is the working life of this device(efoy)???

      @James_Dahlen  3 года назад +2

      you get warranty to 3,000 used hours, its rated good to 8,000 hours, we use it some but not often I would expect 10 years, i used it this summer and only burned 1/2 a gallon of fuel.

    Hello, very interesting solution. Rough numbers how much does it cost? Thanks in advance, Paul

    • @James_Dahlen
      @James_Dahlen  3 года назад

      The cost is $4,000 plus a couple other minor expenses, the 2.65 gallon fuel is $70.00. the thing i like is its not bulky like solar would be.

      @@James_Dahlen Hello James, thanks a lot for your reply. I love this solution regardless is in frontend expensive. But it is simple, efficient and free of mounting and occupying space with solar panels in a sailboat. And in the end I will do some calculation to 5 years, for example, if it is really so expensive comparing with same solution with solar panels.Thanks again, Paul
