Hi Ray, I guess my answer is that its way easier to switch one button with easy access than go deep into the menus and have to change 4 inverters. This situation is a short term thing. In this case it is an issue as the generator cannot handle both the chargers and the load. And he doesn’t want and I agree to have an additional cycle on the batteries when they don’t need it.
I’m working with OB to find out why this is happening. Thanks jay peltz power > On Apr 29, 2016, at 11:07 AM, Ray Walters <r...@solarray.com> wrote: > > What's wrong with the chargers being on?
