The links do not work for me..
No, the same young man bought both.
I hated to see them go but I did OK.
I had a lot of fun with the Listeroids and learned a lot.
My health is not looking good so I'm trying unload everything I can so the wife doesn't have to deal with it
in case things go south.
The funny thing is that I was planning on selling everything about this time so I could retire to my place
in Kentucky by the middle to end of the year. Life is funny ain't it.
I still have generators here so if I do need one I have several.
I may try to run some of them here. I do have a Changfa with a 15kw head. Someone should want
that.
Thanks for asking and stay safe !
Hi Mike, looks like you have been a busy boy. That generator looks like it should do the job.
I have been searching for a suitable genny every day for months. Last night I found a Perkins 3 phase genny mounted on a trailer. It`s only got 130 hours on it, I offered him $2000 and finally agreed to pay $2100 for it, hope to pick it up next week.
I`ll demount it from the trailer and install it in my new generator shed. Now all I need to do is design and build the generator shed!
I`ll post some photos once I get it home.

Hi Mike diesel generators are available, not sure what rpm but something like this might suit you. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/444494227661631/?hoisted=false&ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
There is no doubt on their performance but distances here in Oz totally rule out an EV for me. Hybrid is a better option if an EV is your prefference. I still cant get a straight answer out of these vehicles like
How much do they cost to charge from home at normal electricity prices not subsided by solar ?
How much to charge at the charging stations dotted here and there ?
How long is the life expectancy of the battery?
Cost of replacing said battery and what happens to the old one?
The old hear say thing rings in the back of my head the cost involved in mining the raw materials to make the batteries as well.
I have a similar system in my barn and use a greenhouse mat heaters under the batteries to keep them mildly warm. I believe they also make a mat just for batteries assuming you want to just keep those warm. If the inverter is a concern we use a heater strip at work in small control panels that only run 25-50 watts we install in small outdoor control panels for frost issues. Mount one below the inverter but I would concerned with making condensation there as well. The same can be done with a reptile heater ( I call them lizard heaters) found on flea bay and Amazon for cheap. They alast way longer than a light bulb and less likely to break since they're ceramic.
Are you installing a lister in the shed? Curious what base you would use for that beast.
