In reply to Miles. I'm no expert in these fields, are you suggesting not to use the contactor with the 120A Anderson? I agree that it can handle much more, But if I protect it with a fuse of similar size, would that be ok?

The cheap* way to go is always sourcing used parts. A Nissan leaf inverter is easy to drive with a $400-900 kit. For RWD applications just open and disable the differential with a spool or plate welding. (Or install it in an AWD, FWD or mid/rear engine vehicle and use CV axles). The reason is salvaged parts are available and cheaply, also it is a proven EV drivetrain. I’m not advertising, so I’ll just say I think the company that sells the kit is the name of an acca dacca song.

Well anyway, use whatever is cheap. You can buy a running good condition Leaf (battery not so hot) for $2,500 USD around here. If all the batteries aren’t dead they can repower a golf cart or power bank.

You may be aware that 120A is the “breakaway under load” rating. The 50A connectors are happy at excess of 100A (as long as you aren’t detaching them under load) , I assume the 120A connectors will do much more as well.

In reply to jacques.

Have you tried compile from source on possibly a newer version?

Without really looking into it, I dont have much of a clue, on a brighter note though, my install is still running sweet!
Good luck!

HI Dwayne,
I exhume a very old post but I wanted to install Tvheadend on my raspi 3 and it seems that raspbian stretch is no longer usable ; I get that error
“Err:3 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch Release
404 Not Found [IP : 2a00:1098:0:80:1000:75:0:3 80]”
when trying apt-get update.
Would you know a link to some tvheadend howto uptodate?
Thank you
