Not a fan of LVD. If the site is terribly remote and there are frequent outages then an LVD will make your batts last longer. But it still sucks as a solution. Buy a generator instead of an LVD. I have never been glad I had an LVD in the sites where I had LVDs.

The devices I have with LVD stop me at 80% depth of discharge though. I also assume that batteries will get weaker over time....I realize they might not if they're stored in perfect climate control and never get discharged, but I *assume* they do get weaker. So I build for twice the runtime I actually want, knowing I'll actually get the runtime I want even if we add another device or the batteries don't age well. So I would consider that a 26 hour system, and in the back of my head I know I'd really get 52 hours out of it at the day of installation. Some people (McCown I think) have advised to put the load directly on the batteries or otherwise disable/bypass the LVD function because downtime is more expensive than damaging their batteries....and that's a valid perspective too.

Does that mean it's showing a 74watt device? Which means what .... 1800-ish watt-hrs per day? Which means that my 12v-100aH times 4 AGM batteries will power it for something like 32 hours stopping at a 50% discharge level? Thanks ...that is all. -- On Mon, Dec 31, 2018 at 12:20 PM CBB - Jay Fuller <[email protected]> wrote: I thought ya'll broke my email :) ----- Original Message ----- From: David Coudron To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Sent: Monday, December 31, 2018 6:25 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Y'all out there?
