I hook mine up like that all the time I don't use the little resistor thing never have😂

Can I use the litime 12v 100ah trolling motor battery for trolling motor and starting the boat motor ?

Would a 2 ohm resistor be enough to do the job

Here's a tip from a veteran inverter repair tech. NEVER test a newly repaired inverter with a battery. Always test the inverter with a variable power supply set at a low current setting (3 to 4 amps) max. And always use an oscilloscope to make sure that your inverter is producing the proper waveform.

It seems the low frequency inverters do not shut off as easy.. I have another 3200 high frequency running along with a 1200 Victron 24 volt (same batteries). When the battery hits the top the 3200 will beep and kick off and the Phoenix never misses a beat. I’ve seen a flash voltage of 35.14 volts.

Damn man, keep the camera still, I just ate, ; )

good tip

Great vid.

Add a kill switch in the middle in the first place.

12v isn't bad. The problem is when you connect higher voltages. The higher the voltage the more enegetic the spark. If you're that worried about the spark just install a disconnect between the source and the inverter. Then you don't need to worry about the spark on hookup. The resistor is actually important for safe capacitor discharge, especially on large capacitors.

That means the negative cable is connected.

Impiccate

Very thorough and fair review. Thank you.

How many panals are you working with thats my problem i have too many but building up to it.

I'm new to this but have 30 100w panals a couple 200 ah batteries and a couple 100ah batteries trying to build system with a 3000-9000 watt inverter and weak charge controllers all at 12 v but can go to 24 except inverter is 12 but I bought a reducer and waiting on combiner boxes with fuses that combine 6 positive negative wires so I bought two but over my head a bit what do you recommend two systems or just one? I have bus bars and a big on /off switch I'm still connecting all not sure but I like what your doing and trying to copy and have the panals I'm just not a electrician I'm a carpenter by trade off grid .

I have an 8,000 watt rms Taramps amplifire installed in my ride. When hooking up the power wire for the first time I thought I blew the lug off of the cable end.

Great presentation 💥

Thank you, is there anything like that rated 200 amp and at least 32 switches? I'm thinking to go solar but partially off grid so my power company will not have any reason to inspect or disconnect my solar during hurricane disaster

You have to twist it on (clockwise) after the very first 'clean' strip. You'll find that works much better. Other than that, it's still a good video.

My only gripe with this lantern is the battery indicator. 15% is way too low for my liking, personally I'd have it switch to red at 25-30% and flashing at 10% and preferably another led colour to indicate >80% charge for battery longevity.

😂😂😂😂

When I plug in my phone charger it produces the same spark !

Thanks - in what order did you attach the panels,brackets, snd 2x4 brace?

If you have installed car audio before, that spark is very familiar 😂

I was always told to hook the positive up first then the negative to avoid internal damages to electronics also you and use to a 12 volt lamp or test light to charge the caps with the Arc I've done that with amplifier

12V is too little, 48V is WAY bigger spark

Well done! I would look into EG4 server rack mount batteries (5k watts in either 12/24/48v configurations) for $1,000-$1200 each and then an EG4 or Rich Solar inverter/charger for $5-600 w/ canbus. Less wiring too!

I love your videos am interested in watching

I want to use this port on my blueetti to add dc power to my rv by tying this into my dc box. I don’t want to remove my current batteries. Would that be a problem with back feeding the yetti with my rv batteries?

Maybe just don’t go live you prepped dropkick 🤣😊😊

Excellent Video! very slow step X Step -us newbies really appreciate these types of videos!

Cool I like the wheels didn’t think of that

Rather than buy resistor that you probably only gonna use once a car headlight bulb works just as well you probably have got a spare one.

Never use elect tape on wire it makes a black glob mess all along the wire. 🥺. Blu petzel zip ties wont degrade in uv. ✌️

Mc4 are democrat connectors. Theyre trans. Fjb. ❤

Where did you buy this battery from?

if I were to buy this inverter I would crank up the 110 voltage to 120 with the adjustable trim pots on the inside of the inverter

Nice review but I just wish you open it up to see the internal parts.

Don't worry about that tiny spark😂

I have 2 of the timeusb group 31 100ah pro battery's. I have done a capacity test using a Shunt and got just above 100 ah on each battery. I did a mild test drawing from 350 to 500 watts , I used My 4k projector and home theater sound system. I had no issues and have them running in my small solar setup now. I talked with timeusb customer service a lot with questions. They were upfront about there warrenty, it is a pro rated 5 years. Like the 1st year is 100% but it goes down from there. Not that this is a bad thing, no other company would even answer my direct question lol. As of now I have no regrets getting the battires and may even add 2 more. Now in a year from now who knows?

The spark only matters with lead acid,

What are your thoughts on this TimeUSB Battery? Do any of you know of a battery with this level of quality at this low of a price?

i have the same but 24v 3000 on a 35' travel trailer

Have you done any testing with inductive loads? (electric motors/compressor/etc) Your setup looks very awesome!!!!

Is it pwm !

Good info. I don't usually put a lot of thought into how different insulation can determine where you can use that wire. So, good thing to point out.

Mine barely sparks certainly is going to blow up. Mine is 1650

The surge protectors in the combiner box are meant to protect surge from a panel short circuit. They do not offer lightning strike protection. Another Ytubers found this out the hard way. For lightning strike protection you need a DC midnight solar device hanging off the side of the combiner box. This prevents sending high lightning strike voltage and current traveling down wire to house/mppts. There is a several year old Ytube lab testing post of Midnight solar device vs "cannister filled with powder". The cannister offered no protection from lightning strike, while the Midnight offered multiple strike protection to lab generated strike equivalent.

A very interesting, well done, and informative vid. Thanks! You should unwind the ground wire on your combiner box surge protectors. The winding of that ground wire greatly increases the inductance of the ground path. Inductors limit the rate-of-change of current thru them. Trying to sink a lightning surge requires a VERY fast path to ground. Any slowdown directly raises the peak voltage that the protected side will see during events.

You mean you COULD NOT list the LIGHNING Breakers & ARRESTORS you used in this video. MG what are you !?
