So, I have the 500 Phoenix inverter, and I love it! The economy mode is what I see as a pulse detection... I noticed my television's light will come on, and go off at times, and it also takes a second to turn on but, once it is no problem... And I don't mind that... Probably would be great for the deep freezer or, fridge... SALUTES... Didn't know I beat you to getting the Phoenix brother! SALUTES 💪🏿
Yeah , I watched it last night and noticed how it pulsed in eco mode. Be putting it where it will get worked pretty quick. So far I like it a lot. Aloha! 🤙
@@ProjectsinParadise808 That'll do it..! I also took your suggestions and plugged the Kilo watt meter in... For the deep freezer, I'm using close to 4kw a week!!😮 I have 5120WH's so I'm extremely happy... I'll be watching 💪🏿
looks great. my camping system is going to look like that. same MPPT but folding solar panel and powerqueen battery and much bigger inverter same victron. going to be on Anderson SB 175 disconnects SB 50 for the MPPT and MC4 for solar. going to connect/disconnect at camp cits or parks . I just built a panel with 12V to USB C PD 65w and USB A ports . just going to use volt meter.. got a 4 digit one. blue sea systems . I even found a surge protector strip with GFIC protection . outdoor rated AC cords. doing about the same pre planning and waiting for stuff to come in as well . glaid you got victron inverter . just using my tripp lite pure sine wave with GFCI for testing for now until I get the victron one. being this a portable system the battery monitor or smart shunt will be hard to use . it will reset every time I connect .if I find one that remembers the battery level I may add later .
I ran it on small loads last night just testing the eco mode some. Works pretty good. Just sends a pulse every 5-6 seconds searching for a load. 15 watt minimum detection setting to turn it on, but adjustable above that. I really think the best application will be on a refrigerator where it would save a ton of battery power in between cycles. Sounds good on all your projects going on too! Aloha! 🤙
1 Watt Wow. I have a plethora of inverters And they don't even come close to that in standby. But I can run 2 usb ceiling fans 24/7 at three quarters of an amp. Considering my rice cooker pulls fifty amps Probably need a bigger phoenix than the 375w😂🤙 You're so lucky to get sun, it was biblical rain today on the Garden island.😅
I like all the inverters I currently use, but yeah, none of them only draw only one watt in standby. Still getting some sun today. We know all about that biblical rain here! Could actually use some decent rain now, getting a tad dry. Aloha! 🤙
reminds me, i need to find a heat sink for my 75/15, it runs real warm and Im thinking I should just go with another more ruggedly built 100/30 or 100/50
The battery connector in inverter is only for wall installation, just and just enough. Could and should be much better covered/shielded connector (and longer). This is cheap quality. I've same inverter (230V ver.) in my car (not even van), just for basic output.
I doubt you will be able to run a fridge with that inverter they are extremely reliable but also sensitive to surge I had it now I got 500 I only use it for tvs and lighting get a bigger one
Got the inverter compressor on my fridge. Have never seen a surge yet on it. Only draws about 60-70 watts when running, and 200watts once a day on defrost. I'll let you guys know if and when I give it a whirl on that. Aloha! 🤙
I have a similar system which will run with two 12v SLA batteries in series I acquired things on special. LiFEP04 batteries are a bit on the steep side here in NZ. I will probably have to run a mains charger as well over winter.
The Phoenix line is not nearly as good as Victron's other products. You may be disappointed. Not just eco-mode, but the Phoenix's advertise a low-frequency transformer which would normally be able to handle surges more easily than lighter inverters with HF transformers, but I have had bad luck (running a computer in my case) and actually had to move back to my WZRELB inverter. * Eco-mode might not work well (particularly for fridges). * Doesn't handle surges as well as one would expect with a low-frequency transformer. YMMV. * The whole phoenix line tends to be noisy, with small changes in the load causing weird noises from the fan and the low-frequency transformer. Can be quite annoying. That said, the Phoenix's efficiency is better than the WZRELB. Slightly better. So if eco mode actually works with your fridge and doesn't stress the fridge's motor, the Phoenix may be the ticket. If it doesn't, though, it won't be much different than other inverters.
This guy really does live in paradise.

Super fun!! It’s always fun hooking these up. Living the life !
More Victron is a good thing! ALoha! 🤙
wish I had such a system... one day maybe... Victron sure makes some sweet stuff
Thinking about adding a second inverter to add additional house circuits on….looking forward to the updates. Love the videos.
Good Evening ! Looking forward to this evenings video. TAKE CARE..
Good morning! I have high hopes for this little inverter. So far, I like it pretty good. Aloha! 🤙

twice much funn than just purchase a ready station... my next project /!!!! good enough storage slow healthy recovery and longivity in parts!! 10/10

Great job sir is this set up can run fredge sir
Does agm battery use same settings that leisure battery ones u cant ad water, does boil at end and is the 14.4v too low for agm, 14.6v better?
If I have a 24v lifepo what alligator clips do you recommend I use to charge my solar power station…. XT60
Does it offer any bluetooth monitoring via phone app if you don't use the dongle?
Yes it does 🤙

Where do you live
Hawaii 🤙
@Projects in Paradise 808 oh nice. Iv been a couple times.
Why such a small inverter? That model costs $130 and you can get their 800w Phoenix for $295. I like having lots of inverting capacity, I guess.
Don't really need a big one for where this one is going. Figured it was a good size to try out . Love Victron products. Aloha! 🤙
