Apexium + EASUN = Cheap & Powerful 48V System? | Testing Update

Following on from our full Apexium DIY Battery box build ( • More kWh for Less £££ ... ), here's an update on how things have gone during the initial testing phase. This 15kWh (soon to be 30kWh) 48V off-grid system seems to be providing a good option to load-shift away from expensive 'peak' energy during the dark days of a British winter. This novice/beginner friendly battery box could give you valuable extra storage which is key to making home or mobile energy (vanlife) work better for you, without breaking the bank.

About Us
Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, we're two Dads attempting to improve daily life one video at a time. We love tech, problem solving and helping people so we combined all three and this is how our DADvinci channel was born.
We review stuff! Not only that, we share ways to enhance or further improve what we've reviewed. It's easy to complain, but we want to help everyone improve whatever they provide or sell. We attempt to devise practical and sometimes novel use-cases for the products we test.
Do you have a challenge we might be able to help with? Let us know how we can assist and we could be featuring a solution for you in a future video! Enjoy our channel😊
