The testing and comedy was gold, give the haters nothing, no hot coffee and toast or steak and chips. Electricity and electronics is my weakness so I watch and read a lot to understand what I need for a solar set up. I’ve gone from the idea of a basic agm solar set up with a gas cooktop to lithium and 3000w inverter with toasty maker, kettle induction even a 240v chainsaw instead a battery type, as it will only get used occasionally out bush and about third the price. Next video should be a full noise testing, comedy and cooking show. Cheers

Another great vid mate - in fairness to the kings boys, they crank out A LOT of units for a comparably low price and some of the install stories that I hear are from people that have absolutely NFI, cabling way too small, no fuses, poor mounting and locations … all I’m saying is they do get the part of the market that are more likely to do a dodge job.

[@JustTony72]

Awesome. If only I waited a couple of weeks I could have gotten the 3000W inverter when I bought my 1500w. Something to add regarding the cables. In found that the ones which came with my inverter were only 4GA. Insert a lot of engineering jargon and I recommend upgrading to 2GA. Similarly 2GA is only rated to roughly 150A. The 3000W inverter will draw 250A at max load and insert engineering jargon I recommend ditching the included cables and get some 0GA cable especially if you're running the cables longer than 1m.

[@frednurks8528]

Agree with you completely. Cables supplied with inverters are always undersized. People need to realize that efficiency of the conversion to AC needs to be taken into account. The DC current draw for 3000 watts of AC will be more like 300 amps. A rough rule of thumb in determining cable size is to use 10 volts instead of 12 volts in your power calculation to work out how many DC amps will be needed to produce the rated AC power.

You can run 4GA cables in parallel better than single 2GA.

Great video. Ive been curious about the kings 12volt gear. What are your thoughts on the kings 120ah and 200ah lithium batteries, when compared to more premium brands? The kings lithium batteries are a fraction of the cost, but would you feel comfortable in having one in your vehicle. Are they safe and would they last as long as premium brand batteries? A possible video for you maybe.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

I’d love to review one of the kings battery’s but being self funded it’s a fair chunk of money for me to outlay without much return for something I won’t use long term as I already have lithium in all of my setups.

Wouldn't touch their lithiums. They aren't a fraction of the cost of good brands. They are basically charging the same money.

Im looking to power a 230 Volt air compressor with an out put of 1100 watts, do you think this inverter will do the job?

G'day Steve. I've got a similar setup except the renogy 3000w and dcs battery. I too hate the DCS app its garbage i use a victron battery monitor and much prefer their app. I would suggest that cable is completely inadequate for the current draw i use 2 x 50mm2 welding cable both in and out of the inverter. Be interesting to test at battery peak of 250 amps and see how long the inverter will go for

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

A full noise the cables were starting to get warm but nothing too concerning ( to me anyway ). The unit won’t really be getting used at 100% very often and definitely not for very long as my battery won’t last that long 😂. I have considered getting an after market battery monitor but it’s just more money for something that already ( kinda ) works

@@Australian4x4Adventures cables shouldn't get warm at all. They are getting warm because there is so much resistance in the cable, so effectively pulling more current from your battery than what is actually needed. Not good news for your battery.

For moving camps no, I only ever take the induction these days. If it’s a base camp for more then 2 days I’ll take a small gas cooker because the battery doesn’t last long enough past 2 days without running the car for a bit ( and who wants to do that while camping ) So far so good and I haven’t had any failures. I have had gas cook tops fail over the years and leave me with no cooking ( apart from the fire ) but I’ve used gas cook tops forever and only started induction the last 18 months. But I’ve still got the fire to fall back on

Hey mate. Your AGMS will run an inverter to charge up your makita gear just fine as that’s only a small load. You’d prolly only need a 600w inverter to do that job.

Hey Mate love you video, Just a quick question, when hooking up you inverter, what battery have you connected it to a AGM or a lead acid battery and how many batteries do you have?

[@tammyirvin7100]

LMFAO, "coz i want to" soooo agree with you!! fitz of laughter!!! he he ha ha

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Haha. That’s always enough reason for me.

Great test video. What size inverter do you think I would need just to charge power tool batteries. I already have a 100ah Lithium second battery. Cheers Steve.

Depends on battery charger my makita single charge works off 150w inverter in car

[@spartannomad3036]

Thanks buddy very informative. I run DCS as well, 75ah under the bonnet of my Amarok, runs my Engel, lights and 600w inverter and 100ah in my cub camper runs my other Engel 1500w kings inverter and lights. To get over the BMS limitations you can run another similar sized battery in parallel. I'm thinking of putting the 3000w kings inverter in my cub and adding another 100ah DCS in parallel. Theoretical max discharge current should be at least 400amps.

Don't forget to run bloody thick cables for 400Amp. I ran 300mm square weld flex to my 3000W inverter, slight overkill but no voltage drop.

dont mix battery sizes

[@evil17]

@@damienfrizzell9394It doesn’t matter with Lifepo4 chemistry, u can mix 2A cells with 200A cells in the right configurations, IR & cabling, etc, they will charge & discharge proportionally. This has been shown & proven on Andy’s Off Grid Garage. I’m sure many will disagree, but check out his experiments from a year ago with irregular size, capacity cells, & as he has more recently called it, the latest ‘Frankenstein Battery’, which have all passed capacity & high output current tests with flying colours.

Do you have to put an inline fuse on the positive side at all ?

[@sophielouisereynolds107]

Quock question i have a sine wave inverter 3000w and downloaded the dsl app but cant find my inverter what do i need to put in when searching for it

[@bryceyoung3604]

Awesome vid mate, very informative and entertaining, using the kings gear myself without any issues. Just bought thier MT1 trailer with 2 lithium batts and 3000W inverter. We run literally of it. Mate try cooking yr bacon in the air fryer. Super krispy 😀

[@phiromtauch6059]

How many ah to run a 3000w inverter?

[@stevo7454]

Bit late to this, but how many batteries are running that 3000w inverter or what ah are they
