. I have found CAN to be much more solid than RS485 with regards to the eVault Max. I’ve conducted plenty of firmware upgrades and have yet to run into trouble. Key is to turn off breaker so battery is not charging or discharging. I’d reconsider blowing off this feature. Kindly, Chris On Thu

seems like 24V has been left in the dust with regards to more sophisticated multimode and hybrid inverters. Schnider makes a 24V SW but it has a short warranty and after a welded AC input relay I’m not a big fan of that model. Just wondering if I am missing any options out there? Kindly, Chris
