(May be related to question 1) Please go to utility/statistics page and you'll see running Wh meter there. F1 key [of attached laptop] resets it to zero, if you want. So just set your e-meter to Wh readout and compare the two. If they match - e-meter operates with no peukert correction, because inverter's counter - honest pure battery Wh. > I think I have won the award for most expensive adapter plate.

I knew it wouldn't be as easy as smooth shaft [but all you need is just cut the correct splines, right?] but didn't realize extent of the troubles some are having to find right place to machine it... Too late for your conversion Mark, but now I'm offering spline - to smooth shaft converters - that is DIN 5480 spline of 1PV5133WS18 motor to 1" diameter shaft with 1/4" wide 1/8" deep keyway. At least will help others... Victor
