Yes Maverick, the Honda is an electric start & someone sold & tried to install an aftermarket start kit, several folks have worked on it and all to no avail. Thanks on the battery suggestions I was about to call my Full River rep on Monday. __

Jay, That may be the same crimper but its not the same dies. Bryan has advised me and I concur that the MC4 die does work perfectly with the UTX connectors though. I wish they'd stop coming out out with new connectors. Bill Feather River Solar Electric Bill Battagin, Owner 4291 Nel

Hi Bob Both UL and the NEC say you have to follow OEM instructions. MC says no to any connection except to another MC. Amphenol H4 uses same crimper as MC4. Contact Bryan at PV CABLES 707-923-3000 Jay Peltz power. > On Oct 14, 2016, at 5:26 PM, RE Ellison wrote: > > I have a bunch of p

Is that Honda an electric start? If so, what model it it? As for batteries, I suggest Concorde AGM PVX-9150HT for 915Ah or Fullriver DC1150-2 for 1150Ah. Both are great choices and very rugged. Concorde & FR both may already have them stocked there. > On Oct 14, 2016, at 5:17 PM, Dana wrote

My design philosophy these days matches yours 100%, Allen. Because of cheap PV, and FLA batteries still stuck in the 1910s. It was a different story (not too many years ago!) when a good deal on PV was $5 a watt... Dan Fink Adjunct Professor of Solar Energy Technology, Ecotech Institute IREC C
