Use while Charging 500X ??
I am using my 500X (just purchased) to provide power to my wifi router and cable modem. The power output is 35 watts (also confirmed by other means) and power input shows 60 watts. Strangely, the battery charge level keeps dropping? Is there a point where this will stabilize?

Can I disconnect the wiring of a 200 Watt Suitcase and rewire those two panels to one 100 Watt panel and then mount all three individually on a framework?

Link multiple 100 Watt panels
How would it be for me to parallel the 200 suitcase to one 100 watt panel?

I also have a question about mounting the Suitcase models. Is that acceptable wherein I would…

Yeti 1000X minimum Input
Is there a minimum input for the 8mm Port? If I connect my panels (Boulder 100BC and/or Nomad 50) my 1000X only starts charging at 25 wats and above! Sometimes just the blue light is solid an I connect the panels to my Sherpa100AC it says 15-20 watts. Back in my 1000X nothing happens! That‘s pretty bad!

Sherpa 100AC remaining capacity issue
Hello, I've been using a Sherpa 100AC for a bit more than two years now.

Lighthouse 600 batteries
Does the Lighthouse 600 have over discharge protection for the batteries? I recently purchased one and when it arrived it was completely dead, some one switched it on. I like to run my lithium batteries on an 80-20 cycle as much as possible for longevity. Has the battery been damaged due to being flattened? Thank you, Drake
