Lux power inverter parts

#1

Post by Marcus »

Got a customer who has a setup of lux power inverters with pylontech batteries. One of the inverters ( connected to a stack of 6 pylontecs) has badly fried the positive battery connection post - sadly i don't have a picture handy. The customer doesn't seem to be having much luck with the original installers so asked me if i could sort it out. :roll:

The pylontechs have all gone dark so I'm hoping they self protect on discharge, and according to the customer the inverter is still 'on'.

Obviously i need to look at it, but assuming it just needs the battery connector (and cable end) i was wondering if anyone knew what these post terminals are called or where to get them?

I've done a little googling but not seen anything that matches - unless you get the right term in the search Google can be a bit hit and miss.

That certainly looks right :) but there do seem to be a large number of variations - too many to order in the parts before i go and look at the inverter, alas (the customer isn't that close ).
