Solar Surron - Portable Charging Setup

This is a video about my Goal Zero 3000x Yeti Portable Generator and two (200watt) Goal Zero Boulder solar panel suitcases. I am able to charge my Surron 2 to 3 times depending on the conditions, every day, from the sun only!

Heck yeah! That's how you do it

[@leetjohnson]

Thanks Will!

[@MikeyManov]

I hope you start posting again, your videos are fantastic! It was great meeting you today!!

[@leetjohnson]

I do need to start posting again!

[@frankenstein3163]

Great shear TY. Ever get a setup without the power station ? All the step up and downs from DC to AC back to DC is some loss.

[@leetjohnson]

I wish there was a DC charging

[@Razorcrew_Cole]

That's sick

[@leetjohnson]

@@Razorcrew_Cole Thanks!!

[@212ccc7]

Super helpful thank you

[@leetjohnson]

You are very welcome!

[@212ccc7]

@@leetjohnson is there a lower tier/grade yeti you'd recommend for charging 1 stock surron light bee? It's confusing trying to figure out each moving part. Lets assume same solar panel setup.

[@leetjohnson]

@212ccc7 the Yeti 1000 is solid too.

[@Peyiang]

Hi, thanks for the video. I just have one doubt. What is the real time for the Yeti Generator to charge up the Sur-Ron battery from let's say 30% to 100%. Thanks

[@leetjohnson]

It takes about the same time as when plugged into a wall outlet. About 2 to 3 hours.

[@Peyiang]

@@leetjohnson thanks for your lighting fast reply ;)

[@leetjohnson]

@@Peyiang no problem!

[@garygrinkevich6971]

its a cool loadout for sure, even at 4k its an "investment" that will repay itself easily after a couple years of gas free riding depending on how often you go out - who does a hobby to save money anyway? you can't beat to coolness factor of being legit off grid and you aren't lying - when you know you know - stinking like 2 stroke exhaust and listening to the generator roar all weekend or blasting the stereo over the top of it gets pretty old.

[@leetjohnson]

It sure is awesome, thanks for watching!

[@Idekworkshop]

Give the surron u haven’t posted in 10 months 🙏♥️

[@leetjohnson]

Sorry, had to make a major move and haven't got back in the groove of filming yet...

[@GroovyVideo2]

Nice setup = Very clean - well done video - my setup is 750 watts Mia solar flex roll up - 10kwh Tesla model S battery - Victron Charge controller and Victron 1200 watt inverter - 1000 All Solar miles on Sur Ron - Fun bike - my suspension is now very worn out - do you know of any rebuild kits - Killah / Fastace ? just put a few SR ride ride videos on my channel -

[@leetjohnson]

Awesome! I don't know of any rebuild kits for the fork...most people upgrade to the Fox 40s...or the Marzocchi 38s...but, they are both very expensive.

[@sandramckinlay3424]

It's just me but I would show a picture at least of it. Good video otherwise really good prices you got on that stuff I don't have any of that yet I'm useless and watt inverter off of my truck battery to charge my Jetson and it's killing my battery so I'm having to stock but I don't think my battery is going to live very long doing it this way

[@leetjohnson]

Check out my Instagram to see a photo of thr setup....@solarsurron

[@spencerathearn3586]

Would a jackery 1000 with solar panels be able to charge the bike

[@leetjohnson]

It would give you about half a "tank", but if you had panels connected to it, you could fill it up no problem. You will need at least a 1000watt inverter, not sure how big they are in the Jackery 1000

[@spencerathearn3586]

@@leetjohnson thank you for the information and where did u order your bike from

[@leetjohnson]

The surron battery is about 2,000watt hours, for reference.

[@leetjohnson]

I ordered my bike online from Luna Cycle in El Segundo, CA (Los Angeles).

[@jjsky1]

Sorry if I missed it in the video but how long does it take to fill the yeti on a clear day without it charging something at the same time?

[@leetjohnson]

If it was completely dead, (maybe 5 or 10%) and you had 400w of solar panels (pulling 350watts, realistically) you could fill it up in about 10 hours. 10X 350w = 3,500wh ....the Yeti is 3000wh capacity, but with charging losses, you could expect 9 or 10 hours from empty to 100%

[@jjsky1]

Very nice brother. Love this setup. Thanks for the info. 🙂

[@leetjohnson]
