I agree, I usually steer full time off grid customers away from AGM, but for remote sites that might not be attended for months at a time, AGMs do have a purpose.  We've had good luck with Full River. Load testing is one really long way to test; I usually just have the customer do load testing

Hello Lones here. When an ac source is accepted by the inverter. The rely connects the ac input directly to the ac output. The relay is (should be) protected by a 50 amp breaker If there is an ac load of 8KW or 33 ac amps the remaining current is available to be used by the inverter for

[RE-wrenches] Radian throughput power

Wrenches,             I spoke with tech support at Outback recently and was told the max output of the Radian at the output terminals is 8KW, even if there is an external AC source connected to one of the AC IN terminals of the Radian.             However, on page 18 of the GS8048 manual:
