Just reconfigured 400 Kwh of flow batteries at work - it was two parallel Victron Multiplus 2 that needed an update. I trust them with vaccines that stop kids getting hundreds of preventable things if my fridges stay as required. Simply Yes after testing water tight integrity- I will trust once it is proven. I keep testing to try and fault my systems at least monthly at work. My boat could kill me and people I care a lot about so is in the same maintained routine which I can fault in several spotsQuote:

My back fuel water filter up saved my bacon then and at other times.
Fuel via jerries' refuelling in ****e rough water was Yikes plus- long range tank was great until rubbing just that little bit put a pin ***** hole in one of my two tanks. I am so over the ICE engine not from the lovely 115 HP Yamaha excluding the fumes. My primary issue is the C02 and pollution I know my two stoke puts in places I love. A very long way from places most sane people go. Suspect I will be very picky about the electrical bits I add to replace the ICE set up.
