It is the their new 2002- present logo . The Daytona has it all over the interior. 80yr old badge would put it in the 1939-1957 range. Now that's quite a distinct one for sure.

But what's on the nose of a new Ferrari............... Roll with it

While away this weekend i spotted these 2 bikes just hanging in an old barn (which looks like it used to be a barn/pub on the farm). Not sure what they are worth or of there were others in the barn. Pics not the best, but I took them in a hurry.

Sorry forgot to add, I am in Harties NW/Gauteng area

Hi, I have the following for sale Mecer inverter SOL-I-AX-3kv 24v (Jan 2019) 2 x ACDC SolarGel 250ah batteries Jan 2019 2 x ACDC SolarGel 250ah batteries May 2020 1 x Fuse breaker Cables for the Batteries. Asking R10000.00

Hi, I can only talk about the raspberry pi connection. Solar Assistant, you can buy the Pi + software already installed, or just the software alone which you would then flash onto the Pi. If Gel batteries, then you would just have the USB from Pi to USB on Inverter (square USB type). This gives coms between pi and inverter. You would rely on the inverter to give you battery information. If you have panels then the SA software can manage the panels instead of the inverter. Much better solution. With Lithium batteries you just buy the correct cable (Solar assistant has various cables depending on your battery make/model). This gives you communication from the battery to Pi and you can let the software manage that. Kind of a MUST when running Lithium batteries on the Mecer Inverter as it actually keeps thinking your batteries are low, but in reality, they are not, the pi/software manages this. Setting the Battery connection on the SA software to BMS which means the software is now managing the settings and not the inverter, the battery is now 100%

Hi, I have a Mecer SOL-I-AX-5P64 Inverter and have the Shoto SDC 10-Box5 5.12kw lithium battery. I am looking for some guidance on the settings on the inverter side. I have attached the screenshot of the Battery manual, and the inverter plate. Some I think are correct. Currently I am using it for pure backup (no panels). I also have it connected to a Raspberry PI and using Solar Assistant software. I know 12 and 13 are not taking into consideration when set to UEI on 01 setting. Currently set to the below settings, but I assume something is too low on the charge side as the inverter thinks the battery is fully charged, but the Solar Assistant says 79% charged, All the lights on the battery show all green for charged, so there is definitely a disconnect somewhere. Thank you very much. Mecer Inverter settings 01 = UEI (Utility first the Battery) 02 Max Charge Current = (30A) 05 Battery Type = (USE) --12 Setting Voltage point back to Utility (SBU priority) = (48v) --13 Voltage point back to battery mode when using SBU in 01 = (51v) 26 Bulk Charging Voltage = (54v) 27 Floating Charging Voltage = (54V) 29 Low DC Cut Off Voltage = (47V) Battery Manual DOC = 80% Charge Voltage = 54v - 56.4v Discharge Voltage = 45v - 48v Nominal Voltage = 51.2v Charge Discharge Current = 50A

Ever had wandering brake lever feel on Shimano brakes. When using them a fair amount, the bite point can be ok the first time you pull the lever, let go and quickly pull again the bite point can be totally different. Something to do with the fluid not returning fast enough from what I can read up about. Some suggest using Putoline mineral oil which is not as thick and returns quicker. Never tested it, just got a set of Hope brakes to solve it 🙂 I think Magura said something about a higher boiling point for their blue blood and safe for the seals. I doubt the leaking lever had anything to do with topping up the levers with shimano oil once as I could not get blue blood.

Just a heads up, as with Magura and their blue blood, even though we know we can use Shimano mineral oil, they won't warrantee your brakes if there is anything other than Magura blue in them. Same could be for Formula Cura brakes.

Hi, Could anyone help with costing of 2nd hand inverter Mecer SOL-I-AX-3K (3kw-24v) comes with 4 x 250ah ACDC batteries (2 are 3 years old and 2 are 1 year old), battery cables and 1 pole 100amp fuse. Also where can one sell this. Reason for selling is new system was upgrade with bigger inverter and batteries.

Excellent, been wondering how this was done. we were thinking of something similar. Already have a wifi geyser switch which has more than halved the consumption, but as I have set daily timers, I sometimes forget about load shedding and don't switch it on before. had a few groans from the wife that the water was not hot. running on panels during the day will solve this issue.

Have you used a "Mini Inverter" between panels and the geyser? If so which one have you sed?

Thank you very much

Hi, Justw wanted to know how to calculate the Low Voltage for setup. It is a 48v setup 5kw inverter. The batteries are 12v 200ah and have the following settings Bulk 14.5v - 14.9v so setting it at 58v Float 13.6 - 13.8v so setting it to 54.4v It is setting the low voltage for 50% discharge (or even 60%) that I am unable to calculate.
