I would add that after loading firmware on Outback or Schneider there sometimes have been cases where it showed the new firmware but it was still running the old. The solution was to choose original factory default firmware. After that the unit would load the latest firmware that you had previously installed. Now that is maddening. There are so many XW's and Outbacks out there that I am surprised at how well they run. I am not a big fan of loading new firmware unless you have to.Most of this gear is fine with what it had offgrid. Leave it alone unless you know exactly why you are changing. The firmware has release notes and you should read them. The combox has recent firmware that stopped the "bricking " issue it had. I would do that one for sure! I like the config tool also along with combox.
