FWIW, I've been very happy with my Magnum inverter.

Team Victron here. They make extremely good kit. And as you grow your system, the more you integrate things the nicer it is. Having my inverter integrate with my solar integrate with my battery integrate with my alternator and everything else makes for a very nice system indeed.

Perhaps start with stating what you intend to run of this inverter? or do you mean Battery Management System (BMS) since you started off by talking about cells

My entire Xantrax system died 5 yrs ago. I decided to go with Victron and am quite satisfied.

I have a Multiplus 3000/120-50 a BMV712 , a ColorGX and 2 Smart Solar MPPT solar controllers. I am very satisfied. Very configurable, and Victron is constantly updating the software. I have asked for help 3x on their forum and within a day problem solved.

Highly recommend.

Another vote for Magnum- I have abused mine, getting it hot a few times in a poorly ventilated compartment to the point where it shuts itself off in thermal protection, and it keeps right on ticking. I regularly use it for some heavy applications like running a dehumidifier, cooking with an instant pot, solder/heatgunning, and it has been bulletproof. Must be 10-15 years old now.
