One point that seems to be seriously overlooked with these diy systems is user serviceability. With a commercially bought solar power station it is incredibly complicated if not totally impossible to break them down and replace components that fail. With this system the entire thing is serviceable. That to me offsets any aesthetic considerations.

It was good work 👍🏻👏🏻and I think it is necessary for each home to have one like it for emergency situations... My friend...I have two notes about the work I hope you accept them: 1. When you connect the inverter to a four-cell battery, it was preferable to connect the poles of the inverter to the beginning and end of the cells and not to one side of them... I mean the positive should be from battery number one and the negative from battery number four so that the charging and discharging occurs on all the cells. 2. Ventilation holes must be made at the bottom of the box on the side of the white battery for the purpose of circulating the air into the box while the fan draws from the top on the opposite side and creates a complete ventilation cycle without suffocating the air intake process. Thank you from Iraq ⚘️🇮🇶⚘️

Thanks for your comment! You do need to be careful, I agree. Meanwhile, these are the same type of batteries, LIFEPO4. And yes, you do not want to draw more power than the BMS can handle on each.. I am well under that in this build. Also each BMS will protect the cells should you accidently do something incorrect, or draw too much power.

This is a genius idea amd it just so happens that i have almost all of these exact same components laying around the nursery, including 3 taylor dunn carts. 2 broken down and one thays on its last leg. It uses a prehistoric charger, that i just know is going to burn my whole place down. So ive been considering replacing it and going lithium. I have 36 SPIM08HP cells, 30 solar panels, some high power inverters and converters and a plethora of miscellaneous electrical and mechanical parts. All from past projects that were either retired from service or never completed (Damn ADHD) and all designated for use in seperate projects. Despite having all of these components, I had never thought about using them all together. That is until i came across your videos. Now you have renewed my interests and got me itching to bring back at lea one Taylor Dunn back from the grave. So thank you for sharing your work. I hope you continue to create this type of content. We need more creator's like you that are open to showing your whole build process, step by step, all while using recycled and reperpused component's togther to make cool stuff that actually works. It is the type of stuff that is severely lacking on youtube. Sure there is a ton of channels that show similair stuff, except they are all shills, using brand new sponsored parts to build things thatbare completely out of touch and unrealistic for us common working folks with familys and limited funds.

Pull over somewhere, hook this bad boy up, turn on the air conditioner to rest/take a nap, heat some coffee, etc. i’m thinking 3 x 100 amp hour mini Redodo to push my 3,000 watt Redodo inverter charger since my AC uses about 2,300 watts, so gives me some room to run more

Looks good, and nice use of a collection of batteries. If they were lead, not good, but LiFePO4 shares so nicely. Might need to disconnect and check them every dozen cycles or so and full charge individually if necessary. I think I'd mount the fan blowing into the box. The intake for the fan is a large hole with low air velocity and somewhat sheltered, plus easy to shelter more that one spot. Around the edge of the lid might have water dripping, and suction there will pull it into the box.

I think overall, the 12 volt just makes the most sense, most choices, better prices on battery and inverters. I’m shocked tge 1,000 runs your heat gun. I had tried a $500-$600 harbor freight pure sine wave, it failed within 15 minutes. It was a 3,000 watt continuous and only pulled 2,300 watts. Next I tried a Renogy 3,000 pure sine wave, dead out of the box. You’re using a generic one, over 30% over rated watts, no problems, excellent

I would not put lithium batteries in parallel from different manufacturers. They all have to be at the same state of charge before connecting them.
@TackleThat
@TackleThat 12 сағат бұрын
Thank you for your comment! Is that due to a bad experience you had? Usually people posting this are just reciting recommendations from the manufacture. Of course the manufacture only wants you to buy only their batteries, all of them, all at the same time. They can't possibly endorse combining them with other random batteries for liability reasons alone. In practice, there is no problem paralleling batteries of the same voltage range and lithium technology. When connecting them up together they need to be within .1v so energy doesn't flow too fast from one battery into the other, it has nothing to do with state of charge. Being close to voltage will mean its probably close to the same SOC but LIFEPO4 has a pretty flat voltage curve so that's not always the case. Please see Off Grid Garage Australia where he puts even extreme differences to the test and has no issues. NOW if you are ever using them in series, they do need to be very very similar in quality and SOC, otherwise your capacity will only be that of the weakest/lowest battery.

Great build, that is until you added that cheap, high frequency, transfomerless inverter. A much better choice would have been to add a low frequency, transformer based inverter charger. Your system would last, far, longer, and you would have a much higher surge capacity to power high inductance loads.

Thanks for your great question! The way I understand it is, we use breakers to protect wires, not devices. So if you use a huge inverter, with many smaller wires off that inverter, you need to protect each wire (circuit) with a breaker rated for the wire ampacity. This is usually all done via a load center (I also run a 3000w inverter with a load center). The 1000w inverter I use on this small build has both internal fuses and built in protections. Also, all wires connected to this inverter can handle that so it's no problem to not have any 120v breakers. Lastly, You always want to fuse/breaker your batteries, that way your batteries and load can be separated if there is any problem. The inverter is just another load. Of course I am no electrician and always want to consult your local codes. Hope that helps!

Nice video. Can it fit 2 Redodo mini inside? Regarding to the 1000W inverter, to get 1000W output on the AC side, the power input draws by the inverter will be about 1250W, due to inverter efficiency, 80% is typical, so if you use just one 1280Wh (12.8V x 100Ah) battery, you can run for about an hour.

Thanks for your question! Balancing is needed for cells in series (when adding voltage together). Since these batteries are all run in parallel (adding capacity together), they will stay perfectly balanced with each other. Running parallel also makes there little concern for connecting different size batteries up, as long as they are the same technology (lifepo4 in this case).

What's the surge capacity on both the batteries and that inverter? Often the inverter can surge to 2000W, that's a 167A kick on the batteries (assuming the batteries can keep up). That will probably blow that 100A fuse... a 150, 175 or higher fuse may be needed. BTW your 1300W test at 81.7% efficiency (they're usually 90% or better) is a 132A draw from the batteries (or 120A at 90%)! Larger inverters of 2000W or 3000W are fine if you use the appropriate number of batteries to keep up with the amp draw. They can be used to run high draw items, such as a kettle, or workshop machinery, which don't necessarily operate for long periods, but wont operate from a 1000W inverter. Maybe not as portable though.

I’m hoping you linked your parts.Just curious why you set it up to power it up from one switch? I’m sure there’s a great reason, just not sure.

Please use a 12 volt solenoid to power the inverter.

Thanks for your comment! Sorry I don't follow.. a solenoid is a device used to move something mechanically, like door locks on your car.

rack server batteries here i . sorry but 5kwh at 48v for as low as 1000 bucks and a 48v invertor it might cost double but you getting more. im building a 10 kwh power station cart with 3k watts in solar panel for 4500 bucks.

Yeah, those are great batteries.. highly recommend them on larger systems. For this small build this worked out well for my needs! I have a more permanent setup similar to what you have described as well.

I don't at this time, but I highly recommend Will Prowse videos to learn the basics. Each build is different so once you know how to wire it up, makes it easy to customize the build to your needs as well! I may do a short video on how its all wired up if you'd like!

So Just a giant stationary battery with wheels that needs to be recharged ?
@TackleThat
@TackleThat 29 күн бұрын
.... pretty much every power station could be simplified to that level, with or without wheels lol. I mean, add the solar charger, 120v charger, fuses, wiring, switches, volt meters, inverter, inputs and outputs, lights, fans, ac adapters, etc... and yep --> Just a stationary battery on wheels.

@TackleThat
@TackleThat 6 ай бұрын
Hey there! Size is relative to what you are trying to power.. 1000w powers most things in my house other than 240v items. That's what I was going for.

Why don't you put a small charge controller in it, and go off grid?...
@TackleThat
@TackleThat 4 ай бұрын
Sure, I can do that if needed! I have a larger system for the house too.. This one is the portable unit. Takes a lot of solar panels to charge up this kind of capacity, so it is not too practical to carry around all that if I dont need to recharge it with the sun.

Hi Phil, its 3000wh (watt hour) system which is calculation for capacity. It has a 1000w inverter, which is how much power it can provide continuously. Even though we had it up to 1300w with no issues.

Lol yeah, that's why I joke about it in the video. These don't generate any power. Solar panels do that. I think they got that name since they provide power, and around the same size as a ICE generator.
