RE: Not a TriMetric, but for $20 might be worth trying out...
use with charger ... with out external power supply
your converter is A charger
it will be powered by your batteries, while reading discharge
and the converter will supply power while charging
i bought the 200a version because of my 1250w inverter
i love this thing
right now i'm reading 13.99v 4.7amp charge and full 100% charged
don't forget to set AH capacity at 220~240 depending on your batteries
charge them all the way up then set the AMP Hr count ,
then it will show 100% full and count down during discharge

RE: Mid 90's F53 Tranny Shift Cable (update)
Don't use photo bucket HTML links.. copy and use the 'direct image' link , then use img tab in advanced post
Here is an example of what the picture coding needs to look like...Just replace the "((" and the"))" with square brackets

RE: Does Furnace Run on DC Power??
Speak
at 7amps from a 100w panel
No way 14 amp hrs put your battery back at full charge
voltage might have been close to normal,
BUT Amp hrs from running the furnace blower, were not fully replaced
battery not fully charged, no matter what you think
try that for a week,
in just a few more days, those batteries would not make it through the
night
maybe you got a majic blower that only draws 3 amps and only needs to run two hours total for the whole night
what was the temp inside the RV ?
maybe you do camp in a parallel universe, where the laws of energy use are different
not trying to be ornery, but what your saying doesn't match my experience with furnace blowers and 100w of solar

RE: can verizon hotspot be used with tmobile service data plan.
picky picky
all google phones are NON-branded, but carrier approved (with the correct technology)
its part of the agreement to use Android which is from google
i once owned a google nexus, the first one..
and guess where i got, at Verizon
besides we are talking about wifi hotspot devices
go ahead buy a Tmo hotspot from ebay and stick your verizon LTE SIM card in it, and let us know how that works out

RE: can verizon hotspot be used with tmobile service data plan.
Verizon Corp
Is know for being very picky
The device has to be recognized as being Verizon branded, before it can be activated on Verizon's network
Just buying a vzw lte SIM card and sticking it in a Tho branded device will not work
Never mind the fact that two of the lte bands are the same
Then there is the problem of non matching 3G technology, for when lte is not available
This is why, if you search Google and eBay for hotspots
You will see some Sprint devices reprogrammed for Verizon
But i have not seen any Tmo devices adv for Verizon
Or Verizon devices adv for Tmobile
I don't know how picky Tmo towers/Corp is about device branding
But again is the same technology problem, if the Tmo SIM works only two LTE bands will be usable, and no 3G service, you could find yourself with no service for the hotspot, even where a phone has a strong Tmobile signal

RE: Class A house charging system issue help needed
not sure where is the circuit the disconnect is, but should be .. between the batteries and everything else
also i'm 99% sure the converter wires goto the battery Not the distribution panel
other wires run from the batteries to the panel
any RV that has an inverter charger the distribution panel and charger are seperate units NOT combined
NOW if you have converter only no inverter, and the breaker panel is down on the floor, thats different, thats old combined style
yes it is still in use, but NOT where you have inverter/charger combo units
only in some 30amp converter only RVs

RE: Battery cables
Yes Slownsy
Wiring really depends on how the batteries are spaced...aka..sitting
Most diagrams create two 12v then parallel them
My drawing creates two large 6v then series them together
I think is more stable, but that's me

RE: Class A house charging system issue help needed
50' foot,
Do you you mean 50" inches
Awful big RV to have a 50 ft wire run for the converter to batteries
Check all connections on each end , disconnect and inspect
Chances are dirty corroded connections or cable inside the terminals

RE: can verizon hotspot be used with tmobile service data plan.
IDK about ATT lte roaming
but that was not the question
roaming on a pardner network
is not the same thing as activating a branded device on a different carrier technology

RE: can verizon hotspot be used with tmobile service data plan.
NO..
Tmo and ATT uses GSM/GRS/HSPA ?
VZW and Sprint use CDMA/EV/LTE
some Sprint devices can be made to wprk on VZW by changing certain 'parameters' on their internal settings
you might be able to use an ATT hotspot on Tmo
once it was 'correctly' setup

RE: AT&T/Direct TV to discontinue satellite use
be obsolete in 3-5 yrs..20 years before streaming only
NOT at the present rate of wireless data expansion
they want to go streaming, they are going to have to provide unlimited video data
or people won't migrate/change

RE: AT&T/Direct TV to discontinue satellite use
seems strange to me
didn't they launch a new satellite just a few years ago
good for ten yrs or more
seems like they would be abandoning good equipment, unless they sell it to somebody else

shout out to PowerMax
i mentioned in several places that i had not had much luck with powermax, and sent one back in April under warranty
after conversing with Errin at powermax via email
seems it had arrived with no paperwork, or it got lost during the unpacking and login at reciving
he sent me a replacement and even offered me an upgrade to the adjustable model, which i accepted
i've been using it on off several times a week for about three weeks
it has been performing very well, and i'm very happy with this one 'so far'
i even did a kill a watt volt-amps reading on it (for another thread about converters and generators)
i just wanted to let everyone know they will response to customers, and Errin was a pleasure to converse with
he apologized for the delay
