It seems that as the battery capacity drops, the voltage decreases. To maintain a constant load using the equation P = V x I, when the voltage drops, the current must increase.

Great video as always. If you have more batteries connected, and only plug one USB screen, do you get the info from all rhe batteries that are connected together or just the info from the one? Thanks.

[@maxherman11]

Hope that they can make a EG4-LL V3 with these new bigger terminals

[@ehade]

Great video- thanks for all of your tutorials. Just wondering your thoughts on using one of these EG4 batteries with my Bluetti AC 200l power stations to increase capacity ( as opposed to one of their expansion batteries) ?

I’m integrating an AOlithium 51.2v 100ah lifepo4 server battery into my Anker f3800 and f2600 via the xt60 dc inputs on each power station. It has a status screen and was 977.00 with free delivery.

[@P81OS2]

Fantastic as always. Nice work, guys! - P.S. Pizza is my favorite.

[@benkanobe7500]

it does not talk to the EG4 3000 Yellow Inverter in your background shelf. It requires a user installed Firmware update. The update is not provided by Signature in the dongle the use for all the other batteries that is so easy to use. If you buy it, you are a Beta Site.

Well, well, well… look who it is! Wondered what happened to Robbie. Glad to see you talking about and sharing knowledge of something you’re passionate about. ✌🏻👉🏻 Stay Committed. 😎

I have a question about a setup that I’m doing. I’m hoping you give me some input… I have a passenger van that I’ve converted into a mobile studio. I need a powerstation to provide power to lights and possibly a monitor and computer. Initially I will not have solar panel on the roof and will taking inside to charge when need. I’ve been watching videos on all the brands. I’m looking at options between 2000 and 2500 wh. I’ll be using about 270 to 350w at any giving time. Looking at Jackery, Ecoflow, Anker and Dabbson 2300 to be exact. I didn’t anything on you channel about this one.

[@TheSolarLab]

Based on your info/what you're looking for, we'd recommend something like the Anker F2000 or the Anker F2600. The Anker F2000 is on the lower side of your capacity requirements but it's older and on sale. The F2600 is on the upper end on the capacity you're looking for and has higher output/slightly newer tech, but is more expensive. Both would be great units for your needs, and their wheels/handles will help with the portability you're looking for!

Liked the video. A shot fired at California. Wish I could leave another like.

[@dupre7416]

You are my new go-to solar channel. I used to watch Will P. but he's gotten a little political lately. I get way too much of that already.

[@dobrzpe]

aren't tests supposed to be run at .2C and not 1C? i guess that's for capacity tests - never heard of "efficiency tests" before... what is that? besides, don't the cells heat up during THAT high of a discharge for that long resulting in higher internal resistance leading to the higher amperage? (at least from what i hear...)

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

Is there a way to get this to work with Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra?

[@surfguy777]

Plug it into the solar port. Many YT videos on doing this.

[@niffrig]

Do you have a coupon code from a Canadian distributor of EG4 products?

[@TheSolarLab]

This is something we’re actively working on! Not yet unfortunately though

[@scoleri]

There is a software issue waiting for an update. SOC comms currently don’t work. I’m just using user voltage settings on my inverter.

[@Phelper99]

i'm going to build a hand truck power station using this battery. What inverter would you use?

[@JamesAmbrose48]

Apparently we are forced to use their inverters to get the 240 volt charging the battery requires. Most inverters charge with 120 volts or less.

[@diggerbrass]

@@JamesAmbrose48 not really the case

[@JamesAmbrose48]

@@diggerbrass it was even covered in the video, his call to Signature Solar about charging voltage. Yea it is the case. Most inverters will charge batteries with a 120 volt AC input.

[@danielg.1707]

Why would they remove the screen? Makes no sense.

[@sergejstojanovic2518]

6:30, yaeeeee I bought a Jeep and told the manufacturer that I don't like that they sold me a Jeep....

[@JamesAmbrose48]

Maybe someone should tell Signature Solar that needing 240 volts to charge is a major disability. I won’t buy any more of their batteries because of this.

[@danielcurtis1454]

Bro! I love my 300ah Vatrer battery!!!! LOL!! Common man.

[@troyyarbrough]

It gets confusing when you use amps and Amp hours wrong. The Amp hours didn't ramp up, the Amps ramped up.

[@shelley131]

Like an idiot I bought the EG4 LL battery and the EG4 3KW inverter to do a portable power bank on a hand truck. Battery is great what really sucks is the inverter. This system could only power my full size fridge for 39 hours. The fridge consumed 2.4KW of battery power and the inverter consumed 2.7KW of battery power. The weak link for my system is the inverter. Now the EG4 products are all great but just not how I had planned to use it. I need an inverter that is more efficient so my next build will be using the massive 12V 460AH Epoch battery with a 12V inverter, now I know this will run my fridge a little longer. Thanks for your videos, you guys do a great job.

[@ngk330]

How much less is the power draw on the inverter you are looking at?

[@rj3075]

That ticking clock sound is distracting af.

[@mrsupizdomater]

Great video! But as the number of viewers grow, physics nazis are destinded to drop in :D Watt hour is a measure of energy. Watt is the measure of power. energy is power*time the power source is running for e.g. Solar cell that is outputting POWER of 400W running for 10h produces 400W*10h = 4000Wh = 4kWh of ENERGY

[@djrtime1398]

How can I integrate this battery the most efficiently with an Anker F3800? Thanks.

[@frp1276]

Probably dumping them into the solar input ports.

[@frp1276]

Since when are batteries 100% efficient? Don't take this dudes word on anything

[@JamesAmbrose48]

It’s not hard to achieve 100% efficiency and often batteries get 105% of their advertised capacity.

[@frp1276]

@@JamesAmbrose48 batteries are not 100% efficient. Current chemistries are very good but not 100%. Exhibiting over 100% design capacity is a technicality and has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

[@JamesAmbrose48]

@@frp1276 we’re not talking about energy loss due to attrition, which is built into every process in the universe. We’re just talking about capacity meeting its advertised claims. And those goal posts can be set anywhere. 😉
