[RE-wrenches] Magnum MM1524AE rebuild?

[Jeff Clearwater]

Hey Dave and Wrenches,

This is why now I always install a pre-charge circuit for Magnum's and 
other inverters - especially on a Lithium pack with a BMS.  A momentary 
on-off switch and 50 watt 20 ohm resistor - $20 worth of parts = a 
lifetime of less stress on main breaker - inverter caps and battery 
BMS.  I recommend it for any inverter over 2 KW.  Many LiFePO4 BMS's 
will shut down when sensing that much inrush so it's a must on many systems.

Best,
