We are using an Ego brand push mower. Self propelled! It charges for free with sunshine. Got it cheap off marketplace. Battery life good. So good we now use an ego chainsaw for our winter wood supply. It cuts like our old stihl only quieter and cheaper.

Thanks to all for the input.
I’m running lead acid industrial batteries, have a 1/2 go 110 v well pump. Can’t really afford to but 8000$ in new batteries, so I’ll be sticking with 24 volt.
I agree, high frequency units are out for me- I’ll see if an old magnum pae 4024 I have laying around will work ( magnum says “ it’s 10 years old- about their lifetime” - and it didn’t run when I tried it; they indicated that I should hold the reset down for a whole minute to reset, IF it’s resettable. I basically got it free).
I’ll keep looking for a 24 volt low frequency unit. Any recommendations appreciated.

I’m looking for a split phase inverter to operate on a 24 volt battery system. Is this a good one?  Many thanks. Tom

Off grid and have been for 21 years. Can’t beat it. It’s some work but not too difficult.

We make apple cider vinegar from the pulp left after squeezing the cider out using our antique cider press. We collect the pulp in 5 gallon buckets, top it off with fresh water, and leave it to sit a few months to a year (covered not tightly). It’s usually strong and delicious enough to use in drinks.

Anyone have any experience with SunGoldPower 4000W DC 24V Split Phase Pure Sine Wave Inverter With Charger?

No worries on lithium or on Wi-Fi business, as e run neither. Guess we’re kind of old school solar. But we are running robust Trojan and surrette industrial batteries.
I’ll look into the connext. Thanks.

Yes but magnum actually admits that their inverters run only for maybe 10 years.

Hi. I’m looking to upgrade a 20+ year old solar system. Currently running a magnum pae 4024 capable of charging batteries from a generator cranking 220 volts. I’d like to set up a separate system but can’t bring myself to buy another magnum unit for 2400.
Anyone have recommendations for a similar, less expensive inverter?
