Many inverters come with a "dry contact" that you can use for a generator start. This is not exactly true. The problem is that when voltage gets below the start point, the dry contact will close. As soon as the batteries charge a tiny bit, the dry contact will open and shut off the generator.

For a typical inverter "dry contact" to work as a gen start, you need at least an "off delay" relay to ensure that if the generator starts it will run for ~30minutes once triggered to start.

More advanced inverters will have programming that includes warm up and cool down, and min run time.

If anyone is interested in purchasing lifepo4 batteries now is the time... I have put together several large battery orders to get the best price possible and if we can get a total of 150 battery cells ordered we get the best price possible... We have approximately 10-14 days to get an order put together... Please PM me with any questions or would like to be put in the group to purchase batteries. Wes has been involved if you would like a reference of the long term usage of them.

Been using the backhoe so much that my brain has wired to it. but if you asked me which way to move the stick to bring the elbow in I couldn't tell you.... but if I just treat it as an extension of my body, "it just works".
