love my Kobalt 80-volt brushless 18" chainsaw with a 5-ah battery. - Still being sold on Lowes website as of 5/26/2024 - I have (2) Kobalt 80-volt 18" Bar Chainsaws and use (2) 5 AH Batteries. Using it on a Southeast LA farm of 18 acres of tall large pine trees that was devastated by a Hurricane with a tornado. most of 10 acres nearly all down. The chainsaw has. been working great even cutting huge logs and trees up to 20"+ logs and it works like a great. And NO more pulling and pulling to start a gas-powered chainsaw. My first 80-volt 18" Bar Chain saw with a 5-AH Battery and charger was $400 in Jul 2021 and just this year bought the second one.

Seen stump removal by fire as an option. Guys dig out around the stump a little and then put part of a burn barrel / ring on top and slow burn stumps out without herbicide / chemicals. Maybe repeated burning of sticks in a burn ring around the stump. Never done. Want to try.

Can you tell me something about the noise of the Power Hub? Can it be installed in a room next to a bedroom?
@offgridobleo Жыл бұрын
The fans are fairly loud when they are running. They typically kick on when I'm getting over 400 watts or so of charging (either solar or A/C generator) or if running a heavy load like a microwave or something off the battery. I personally would not have any problems putting it in adjacent to a bedroom.

I'm using all 3 solar inputs on the base station. I have 8 - 100watt panels wired in series running into each of the 3 inputs for a total of 2400watts. On a sunny day, I can recharge my 5kWh battery from 0 to 100% in about 4 hours. I have 6 additional 100watt panels wired in series that charges my Bluetti Solar Generator.

*Ok we know you know how to run a loud generator to disturb the peace. instead of solar (I'm giving you this one for free because I dont want to listen to that archaic brawny redneck crap "making power") lets see now a 210watt 12v (20v) mono crystalline solar panel will charge up 3 car batteries though 1 is needed 3 for the amperage (need not be deep cycle though ideal) and run that say thru a pure sine inverter like maybe Tiger Claw (I use Samlex but those are out of your price range) and you will be able to cut 48 of those neat pines you didnt plant for that 4 hrs of partly shaded early spring sun.) We also know you can drive on a unplowed road... I could go on an on but some people work smart while others work stupid, and some; myself included dont work at all. And proud of it!*
