it is fantastic seeing you getting on with it.

HI big Al, well, I'm getting some heavy duty AGM batteries with a max dis charge current of 4000 amps, so I am sure they will be able to handle it. I better make sure that the parallel/series cables and the the cables that connect the inverter to these batteries are nice and robust

If you're interested in more info than what's in the manual about the regulator, it is actually an Epever Tracer6210AN.

They're not bad regulators. I've had the 40A version for about 5 years with no drama's.
If you're interested on data-logging or an easier setup/menu experience, there's a few external modules available:- Remote dot matrix LCD(model: MT50), WiFi module, Bluetooth module, Networking(TCP) module, RS485->USB converter lead etc... these all use one of the RS485 ports but unfortunately you can only use one device at a time. The second port is only for syncing two (up to six) regulators.

Edit: Found a system accessory chart. TCP module not shown for some reason.
HI Simon, no I wasn't a nerd member..but I am now

Thanks a lot for that info very interesting and handy

Mike
