Hi Dan, I've got to ask, if some customers don't buy those two things, I presume they have to pay you for the service call to make any adjustments? And, how do you tell them to operate the battery bank without a amp hr meter? I'm always curious about how others do this. thanks, jay peltz powe

That's great news on the webinar, I'll sign up. I've never had any issues with selecting amongst the Magnum remote varieties, though sometimes it takes a second read of their literature. I usually keep a Magnum remote in my tool box;. Some customers just DO NOT want to pay for the remote, just lik
