I was told the ball breaking stops as soon as the slides are installed. Comes from a highly placed operative who works behind the scenes, but is now the subject of an FBI investigation so you know that is true.

There goes that finger again!

Jerry, I don’t mean to hijack your thread but:

For everyone’s information, Tom and Nancy celebrated their
50^th (GOLDEN) wedding anniversary.Congratulations to you both.

After being married 50 years Nancy ask Tom to describe her
after this amount of time had passed.

Tom replied A ,B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I ,J, K.

Nancy ask what that meant and Tom replied Adorable,
Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous and Hot!

Nancy beamed and said “Tom, that is so thoughtful and lovely,
but what about I, J and K?”

Tom looked her in the eyes and said “I’m Just Kidding.”

(The swelling in his eye is starting to go down, the dentist
says he can replace the teeth and the doctors are fairly optimistic that they
can save his genitals.)

That was really a result of Tom not yet getting her a coach with slides…….

For those that have Lithium Ion batteries, my understanding is that when ‘armed’, the watch-dog will power up the generator once we are 70% depleted (30% level of charge).

Safe travels,

Here is the story on auto-start settings and Trace SW4024 inverters:

The engineers at Trace engineering actually worked with Lifeline on their suggestions and what parameters would give the most cycle life and useful capacity. What they came up with is the TRUE measure of the energy left in the batteries, varying voltage levels based on time. This way, they account for how “loaded up” the system is and allows for a current reading, in effect, without needing a shunt or current transducer to figure it out.

My suggestion is always to leave the settings at the factory values, provided you have the MC2.2 software chips. If you have the first generation, then here is the way it goes:

24 hours at 24.6v

2 hours at 23.6v

15 mins at 22.6v

30 seconds at 21.8v

If you have a newer style Aqua Hot with the low voltage cutout feature, you may want to bump up the 30 second voltage to 22 instead of 21.8, so that your unit won’t kick off on low voltage before the gen starts and the inverters start to recharge the batteries.

With lithium ion batteries, the game is completely different, because most of the chemistries used have a relatively flat voltage curve. These are best set up by the battery monitor system (BMS) to initiate charge as needed. Contact your battery manufacturer for the best practice based on what chemistry the batteries are made of.
