I am trying to figure out the easiest way to restart the system which has a VFX 3648 and FM60. I'm thinking the easiest way is to bring in a 48volt charger to get the battery voltage up high enough to start the FM60 and/or VFX, but that means purchasing a 48 volt charger, since I don't have any Iotas sitting around any more. If anyone has an easier way to restart the batteries I'd love to hear it.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Howie <br clear=all><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#783F04'>Howie Michaelson<br></span><span style='color:#6AA84F'>Sun Catcher</span></b><span style='color:#888888'><br></span><b><i><span style='font-size:7.5pt;color:blue'>NABCEP Certified Solar PV Installer™<br></span></i></b><b><span style='color:#783F04;border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in'><img width=100 height=100 style='width:1.0416in;height:1.0416in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:~WRD0003.jpg" alt="Image removed by sender."></span><span style='color:#783F04'><br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#444444;background:white'>Solar Electric Systems Sales & Service<br></span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#B45F06;background:white'>802-272-0004</span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
