Re: Aircon from Inverter from Batter Charger

Have the Victron units come down in price recently? They are a great idea but last time I checked, we could run the generator for several years for the cost of a Victron.

Re: Aircon from Inverter from Batter Charger

In theory a hybrid system would be great. The problem is mating a generator and an inverter to run an air/con is an expensive proposition since since you move into the realm of specialty equipement. ...
