Re: Phoenix Gold EQ230 modified?

and i spoke to the shop today wherei got it from 13yr ago who said this

We guess from memory it was to over come a RCA issue on the PCB


so looks about right so will this effect the price much?

Re: running 4 batteries and a POWERGRID???

i worked it out from watts

4200 rms / volts 14.4 = 292 amps

batterys are 50AH so x 4 is still only 200ah

but was told that should be fine to se eno voltage drops?

that the wrong calcumation?

Re: running 4 batteries and a POWERGRID???

was just trying to avoid any voltage drop and was told they would only take around 5k rms max with all 4

and as ill be running around 4200k rms just wanted to be safe and get as little drop in voltage as possible

not looking forward to gain matching them, but looks easy enough

Re: running 4 batteries and a POWERGRID???

I'm in the uk. Getting the batteries tomorrow night rep on them 600.00 im only paying 200.00 for them.

I did think the power grids may be useless

Wondering if there is a way to gut the insides and make it into just a distribution unit. With fused insides. And just use the shells
