Hi Merv
when you installed your lithium batteries
from itech did you have to reprogram your solar controller
I have a tristar TS60 MPPT
i assume you have the same

Hi Pete
when you up graded your solar Panels to 1040W how many Panels did you use and how did you wire them up
Did you have to in stall a second solar regular
Are you running a MPPT regular

Hi Rob
when I set up the 3 lithium batteries
I contacted Enerdrive and they were very helpful over the phone to help with calibration
me being a dummy I messed it up
so Enerdrive sent one of there field technicians over to sort it all out he was very good and very helpful
and yes you are correct we are not getting 360 amp hours
cheers
