dir="ltr">Hi All, <div><br></div><div>I am going to service a system
where the homeowner is telling me that their Conext SW4048 had been
working fine for 14 months, and then all of a sudden recently stopped
being able to charge the batteries from the generator. It is an off grid
system. </div><div><br></div><div>The inverter would start charging the
batteries, but then about a minute later they would hear a relay click
and the charging would stop. Then it would just keep cycling. If they
turned everything off for a while, they could then turn it back on and
charge for maybe 10 minutes before it would start cycling. They just
have a crappy 4kw generator from Harbor Freight.</div><div><br></div><div>I
have not laid my own eyes on it yet, but will be there in the next day
or two. Just wondering if anyone has experienced these symptoms and have
a good idea of what to look for first.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>-Dave<br
