Thanks Logan, Tyrone and Maverick, Yes I've tried all the things noted so far without any success. Since there is no PV nor controller at the moment I can't test with just a controller alone but after testing with the Rosie I'm quite certain the battery is just fine. Also to be clear, the Mate3s never really boots up, only briefly starts with the dancing lights as the power modules on top of the inverter makes the attempt to start the fans up.
I'll test with a fresh out of the box Radian and Powerflo16 then report back what I find. It's got to be one or two of the power modules in the Radian. Had a similar multiple trip repair on one about 9 months ago and even (old) Outback had it being the last component(s) to replace. For those of you that did have success getting warranty parts of Outback, was it by email that you got a response or the 360-435-6030 number? Hope you all are having a relaxing Sunday, Nick On Sat, Nov 9, 2024 at 1:25 PM William Bryce via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Hi Nick > > There are PF16's running open loop with Radians.
