I noticed this video is 2 years old. We are curious if you are still as happy with the system. We have a 210 model but are not convinced its working up to spec.
I have been very happy with ours, getting it dialed in took time, but i found the best results for me are switch on voltage 11.8 and switch off voltage 13.5 . sometimes i also turn it on and off manually, one reason is because my alternator wont charge the battery over 13.3 or so volts only shore power gets me to 100% i get 5 amps typically not the 6 as advertised for 22 hours run time. i just pulled the system from the sailboat and will be moving it to our new Monk Trawler
I've got ~1400Ah of AGM aboard, but run a lot of loads like office and ship computers, a full Maretron monitoring network, hydronic diesel heater (for hot water and heating), wifi router and dedicated LTE radio, electric cooking, etc. My average draw at anchor is around 30A (~7kWh/day), offset by 1kW of solar (averaging ~3.5kWh/day). The new Pro 2800 looks like it would almost close the gap, but it's so damned expensive. It's a shame. If it was half the price and came with a reasonable membrane replacement policy, I'd be on it in a heartbeat.
you get warranty to 3,000 used hours, its rated good to 8,000 hours, we use it some but not often I would expect 10 years, i used it this summer and only burned 1/2 a gallon of fuel.
@@James_Dahlen Hello James, thanks a lot for your reply. I love this solution regardless is in frontend expensive. But it is simple, efficient and free of mounting and occupying space with solar panels in a sailboat. And in the end I will do some calculation to 5 years, for example, if it is really so expensive comparing with same solution with solar panels.Thanks again, Paul

whats the consumption ? what is the fuel consist of ? is it flamable ?
Great video. Thank you very much. Great info!! I shared the video on my Facebook page. 😊
Thanks!

Its been perfect for us, gives me 5.5 amps offset into the battery bank for 22 hours, takes a break for 2 then goes again as needed...
Amazing video, but do you know how much is the working life of this device(efoy)???

Hello, very interesting solution. Rough numbers how much does it cost? Thanks in advance, Paul
The cost is $4,000 plus a couple other minor expenses, the 2.65 gallon fuel is $70.00. the thing i like is its not bulky like solar would be.

@@James_Dahlen how long does the 2.65 gallons last?
comments should be allowed now? I think..
