How did you decide to use a 250A main fuse (not sure the size here, but in your pervious build that's what you used)? What is your calculation there? Thanks.
@customtech3835 ай бұрын
In my previous build, with a 3000w inverter, a 300-350a fuse would probably have been a better fit, but I wasn't planning on pushing it to it's limits, it was designed to easily run tools in my garage and fridge/freezer.

Can someone explain why he uses 24v charger with 12v battery?
@customtech383Ай бұрын
I DON'T. I was saying you can convert this system into a 24 volt system if you swap out a few parts (ie. charger & inverter) and put the two 12 volt batteries in series. Which = 24v

It does not generate anything, it is a storage system.

it depends if you are connect to solar or not.

@JimNichols so what, why come on every thread and yell the same nonsense? We get it, you're a stickler for proper verbiage.
@JimNichols17 күн бұрын
@@earthenergyhex And we get that you could care less whether you spread disinformation or not. Generation is not storage and storage is not generation. As a "stickler for proper verbiage" these two words have different and separate meanings and are easily confused by someone that has little or no experience working with solar. So you are doing a disservice to the audience that this channel is attracting. Why are you so angry? Someone wants to use the correct 'verbiage' to teach others??? GASP... chill dude.

That’s a very well thought out build! Curious how much it cost in comparison to similar WH Jackery or the like?
@customtech38313 күн бұрын
Basic build with good deals on parts, approx. $1350. But I can work on it when individual parts give out. I'm not skilled enough to work on an Eco Flow (It becomes a paper weight) and 12 volts gives me lots of options.

@erich87894 ай бұрын
What would you connect to the smaller Anderson plugs? Is that to provide power externally, or to supply input to charge?
@customtech3834 ай бұрын
I only use it for providing external power to DC applications like running my ham radios or anything else that is on the smaller side under 30 amps. Yet it also could be used to input 200+ watts of solar, because it does have fuses, but it would need to go through a solar charge controller first.

Curious to how you installed the switch for the gauge and when gauge is off does it keep memory
@customtech3832 ай бұрын
The push button switch (Both +/-) goes to the fuse panel and then the (+) to the battery. All the switches are in the same configuration (same order) as the fuses. When the gauge is turned off there is no memory. The gauge pulls very little and usually doesn't make much of a difference in accuracy. If I am actively using the power supply on a trip or to run items over a long period of time I will leave the gauge on.

@customtech3835 ай бұрын
No I don't. I typically never have a need to run shore power and solar at the same time. Yet, when I have done it I haven't experienced any problems.

Once you plug in the solar panels the unit generates electricity
@ZEDZEDrick785 ай бұрын
@@jimmiescott8409 I understand how they work, we have had batteries . chargers and solar panels for over 3 decades now, however we never called them a generator until now, But its just a battery with a charger attached, Once flat the the solar panels wont give you enough charge to run anything of, unless your walking around with a 5kw of solar around with you. Its just a buzz word marketing companies used to bullshit people that don't know better. If you plug it into your car to charge, the car is generating the power, if you plug panels into it the panels are generating power with charger, nothing that you buy and walk out the shop with generates power, it only stores which is why for a centaury they were called batteries and not generators ...
