I know its been a while sine I've been around. Will be bringing my system back up here shortly when the extra batts come in, and the extra 1/0 awg wire. Batts are starting to get cheap as of late.
I got my generator out and changing the oil in it this weekend if it gets warm enough, freaking cold at the moment.
Sid, have you had a chance to finish that remote?
Also, just wondering, since mine is setup as 24v system, do I have to rewire it if I want to bump it up to 36v syste? cause that would use 400amps at 12kw from waht I figured.

Yes. Finished it a month or so back...but my concern is that I really don't know for sure that PJ used the same pinout on all the genstart connectors, as they didn't use the specification I provided. If I ship it to you and the pinout is wrong, it won't work. So I'm kinda stallin'...with no real reason I guess, haha.

If you want to run 36v nominal, the transformer needs rewired (and tested with a variac to make sure it's wired correctly), both fans need replaced, AND the software warranty needs voided to adjust the software nominal voltage.

Geesh, might as well get a 12k invert at 36v then have to send two gs invets to sawn.
Well, if you got where I can change the pins around like quick disconnect conenctors ont he wire for each pin I can just move wires around while trouble shooting if need be.
I think I will be okay on the 24v system anyhow, with the extra batts I got coming in and switching all the wires to a 0/1 wires and each invert gets it own batt bank that can handle 400a.

Unfortunately, the mini-XLR connector has a housing, etc., etc.--so there isn't an easy way to adjust the pinout. Well, unless I used quick connects with insulating housings, that might work....
