Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback equipment direct from China??

One of my customers bought a “New” Mate3s (from the new AltE folks).. plugged in the MAC address for OpticsRE and it came up “already registered “.. Called OB tech support, seems the SR and MAC address doesn’t match, the Mate3s with that MAC address is currently registered and on line at a site

A few years back (like 15-20), a customer asked me to stock a complete board set for the 12V FX in his RV.. Hadn’t heard from him in years so I called his wife.. turned out he died and the estate sold the RV.. So I’m still sitting on a 15 something year old complete board set for a 12V FX (Stil

We installed a 20kW 48V set in a Grid Tied system in May.. Knowledgeable (and friendly) Tech Support.. So far so good.. Certainly better than the Kilovault Dumpster Fire. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 13, 2024, at 4:38 PM, Amanda Potter via RE-wrenches wrote:  Hello Wrenches, I have installed
