Update: You can purchase a similar 48 volt battery to the one I used in this video. The 48v modules are being sold at Batter Hookup. Here is an affiliate link: amzn.to/30zewG4
Part 2 Video testing the new updated version of 8000 watt inverter from Reliable Electric. This inverter outputs a pure sine wave, 120 volts AC. At 34 pounds it's light enough for mobile applications. I'm powering this inverter with my new 48 volt lithium battery that I made from a used Smart Fortwo EV car.
In the previous video I showed this inverter could handle power tools and compressor loads. Awesome! This video is dedicated to doing a full load test.
1. Can it reach 8000w?
2. How long can it stay there?
3. How hot does it get?
4. Do the batteries get hot?
In order to do a full load test I have wired in a sub-panel and electric heaters.
I've also tested the earlier version of this inverter, and it failed. That video is available here: • Cheap 8000w Reliable I...
This new version works way better than the first version. Reliable Electric has upped their game.

Reliable Electric's E-mail about the live ground:
"And For the voltage , the voltage from Line to Ground and Neutral to Ground is not the true voltage, there is no correct from them.
This virtual voltage has no effect on the usage.
If you measure it during loading , it will be zero at that time.
So please feel free to use it ."

This inverter is usually called HF, or high-frequency. That's because there is no massive transformer inside. Usually HF inverters can't handle large surge loads such as motors and compressors. So that's exactly what I used to test it!
Reliable Electric is also known as "WZRELB" I have seen it sold under both names.
Sometimes this inverter is available on Amazon, sometimes Ebay. The links sometimes change, sorry about that.

There are (6) 48 volt batteries all wired together in parallel. Each battery has it's own BMS board for safety. BMS stands for battery management system.
This lithium battery came out of a 2013 Smart Fortwo EV (electric vehicle). It will be used in my DIY Powerwall for back-up power if the grid goes down. Off-Grid.
