A stainless steel emblem sounds like a great idea! I will have to inquire here in Nettuno what the cost might be to cut and polish.

I used the secondary output of the Victron for the second battery charger because it was the one thing that I would NEVER want be powered by the inverter pulling power from the batteries. For those

Hi Bill, I plan to connect the chassis of the inverter to the Amel green/yellow bonding system. The inverter connects the AC neutral to the chassis ground when in inverter mode. Would that not

John, Popcorn can be important! Your confirmation that the inverter does not cross-connect the DC negative and the AC safety ground is key. Such a cross connection would destroy the "floating" part of

Hi Mark, Yes Yahoo is sometimes funny about the attachments. Let's try again. Well it looks like it loaded but then gives an error message. I will try to send to photos section after typing. See
