Anyone using MG4 battery to power house ?

[Corindikev]

Any ideas on where to get a V2L cable with the appropriate resistor and cable gauge and socket to enable higher discharge capacity?

Surprisingly I bought mine from Ali Express for $36.00 + $4.00 freight. Brand name Pecham. It is type 2 AC at 1 end with a universal 3 pin socket on the other rated at 32 Amps. There is no cable. I keep it in the granny charger bag. It was a bit of a gamble at the time but there were 2 customer reviews that said it worked with their MG4 & it does. I have only used it once at just under 2kW but the specification states output of 32 Amps. I have seen 16 Amp versions on Ebay with some comments (1 from a MG4 owner) that it didn't work but they got their money back.

Thanks, these don't appear to be available anymore.

Be interesting to see how much power you are able to draw.

If the mg don’t like it, it will trip out

I must admit that the MG4 is quite impressive - We're just going off grid - as am using the MG4 as a base load, while we transfer everything over - its very sensitive to resistive loads even as low as 0.5Kw at start-up, which is a good thing (once up and running it takes 13Amp + with no issues - We currently use a plug n 13A fuse, which is regularly checked for heat) - I should say that as most have noted is that, this is to charge the home battery for almost 100% of the time. If you own the car outright then no, but its its not yours then maybe.

Click on find similar items and the same brand is available from another supplier but at a higher price. There are also other brands but most are maximum of 16 amps.

One day when I get time I'll use my heavy duty extension lead to try and run a bunch of things to see what happens. I don't have the time at the moment. The blokes who did the test had all the right gear. I don't so it will be a bit of a guess.
