I recommend Victron and Outback now.
The Magnum is fine. That is until after a heavy load for an hour or two. Then the cooling fans are running, flat out. As soon as the fans, which are 120 volt, no longer receive power from the inverter, they stop. No fans, no cooling. End result extreme heat inside the case.
If they had used dc fans, or dc control circuits to dc fans it would be a superior design.
The unit I have weighs 47 lbs.
