I had a thought about the drone and drone battery foam inserts. He will most likely replace the drone with a newer, possibly smaller drone much sooner than replacing the foam insert. You may want to take that into consideration.
We're so happy to be part of this build and get you running with the LITHIUM BLUE battery. The cold weather charging is a challenge with any battery and with Lithium, the temps are a little higher than with lead-acid. The "blanket" you wrapped around the battery is an excellent solution and there are also heating mats that can go under the battery to accomplish the same thing. Can't wait to see all the other adventures you go on and how the battery helps you do your job. Looking forward to maybe even getting out on a trip with you too.
THIS is the stuff I really like watching......you explaining the build for your Jeep....I've been looking into Solar/Battery options and doing my own build....My 30amp Victron DC-DC charger has been such a lifesaver for boondocking....I have everything wired with anderson plugs for quick connect I also an using a teardrop style camper, not a rooftop tent, so a little different setup needs
Cool and expensive setup you have there. My set up that I run is less expensive. I run a 3000 watt triplite inverter, 2 lithium batteries in parallel, hooked up to my alternator ( battery of my vehicle). Tripp lite monitors the input power and output. Shuts all down if it drops below 28 percent on the input. This gives me 20 amps of 120 volts and at 40 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and time of 8 hours while using 10 amps. And my back up is a solar panel, and a 1000 watt Honda generator. And when at home, I have 8 amps of power to maintain thru a battery tender. I have marine grade disconnect switches which allow me to charge batteries individually. I guess my way is the poor mans way. You have a nice setup and good friends to help.
I was actually worried about cold temp charging and saw that battle born batteries have a self heated battery pack unit. Might be a good solution that comes from the factory all ready to go.
I'd add some Milwaukee gear to that cupboard so you have some tools if you need to make a bush fix. An M18/M12 combo charger, a couple M18 and M12 batteries and whatever tools you want to carry. Even a sawzall would be handy as hell for cutting up smaller firewood.
@@TheStoryTillNow I just got my gladiator and setup a Smart Cap too. I-ve been a Victron user for a while but REDARC has been growing. Thanks for the video and inputs! Following for more. :)
I have a Smart Cap on my ZR2 Colorado and was wondering if you have any tips to deal with the latches on the hatches freezing up from snow getting on them? Also how do you secure tools etc.on the Molle panels?
As Shaun mentioned in the video, cold temperatures are a challenge for Lithium batteries and they need to be heated with a heating mat of some kind. The best place to source these are often RV dealerships who deal with these things all the time. Extreme heat can also be a challenge, so best to keep the battery in a well-ventilated area and out of direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures are a problem for any battery, with our lithium batteries the recommended temperature range for normal operation is as follows. Charge Temp: min 0 C (32 F) | max 55 C (131 F) Discharge Temp: -20 C (-4 F) | max 60 C (140 F) Storage Temp: -10 C (14 F) | max 30 C (86 F)
Follow Canuck here, in the process of putting things together for my build. Just wondering if you may know/ recommend anyone who does this type of install in the Calgary area?
I guess this is the difference between living in BC vs the American Southwest. I'm looking at your installation wondering how you'd manage excessive heat buildup (which can kill batteries and doesn't help non-industrial rated electronics) and you are worried about keeping it warm.
Running a generator all night isn't a viable solution. They are also heavy to carry and require fuel. This is light, regenerates power, and does everything I could need.
Looks cool but you ever think the average person gets pretty sick of RUclipsrs flossing about all the new stuff they get to install for free? It's cool to see the adventure and discovery side of it but there is always the invevitable "look what I am installing....FOR FREE!!" I think especially because the average person finds it hard enough just to afford gas now let alone go out and outfit their rig with more toys. Just food for thought.
This is an expensive hobby. It is what it is. If you can afford a $70k truck you can afford this system, right? I also do a lot of work for these "free" things I'm installing. There are less expensive options for a power management system if this is unaffordable for you. I'm simply sharing my experience and what I'm doing with my own truck.
@nigel naughton man, he’s just sharing his experiences. It’s not for everyone no, simply move on. For the rest of us who are, great info. If sick of RUclipsrs “flossing”, which I firmly believe is not happening here, scroll on or log out my friend. Quite being so sensitive. Geez. Can’t please everyone don’t you know?
@@cbass11_306 My opinion might not be for everyone as well...so you can take your advice and calmly scroll on or log out my friend and "quite" being so sensitive. peace ;-)

That drone charging setup is neat! My RedVision system is getting delivered today, so I've been taking notes.

Foam is cheap.

What does one of those batteries cost and do you distribute in USA?

I like that bed cap. Pretty cool setup
I like that RSI shell. Waterproof and dust proof. The electrical stuff needs a good, safe place to live.
That is a great power management system. Hope it meets your needs outdoors. Good luck with it.

There's no wrong way, if it works for you it's great!
This is awesome, I’ve been waiting to see this video to see how it was all done and what was all in the box. Nice work to all involved
Love love love what you did with this setup! Thanks for doing this video. I love learning this sort of stuff
Absolutely insane set up. I love it!!
Love this!! Neat clean! Will they sell the plans for this? I would love to use this complete setup someday!
Nice Setup. What power inverter did you put under the Jackery?
What’s that green styrofoam looking thing in the bin at 2:56?

Amazing power management system!! Sophisticated but for all the overlanding you do definitely worth it 👍.
This is officially a bad ass End of Days rig!
So what you're saying is, we can run the sous vide machine for way longer now. :D
You guys didn’t loop back up through Utah that trip on the way home?
What is the jakery for? Mobile power if needed?
Yep 👍🏻

Beauty of a system. I think Lanin (spelling?) did excellent and detailed work. Well done!
I think so too!
I have a Smart Cap on my ZR2 Colorado and was wondering if you have any tips to deal with the latches on the hatches freezing up from snow getting on them? Also how do you secure tools etc.on the Molle panels?
I haven't had that problem yet. Also haven't used the molle panels for anything really.
Great balance of info thank you gentleman 👍
Take off! Does this guy look like a young Rick Moranis or what?! Ha! Extremely knowledgeable about the system. Loved the vid!
Did the battery heating system work reliable?
Yes it worked great 👍🏻
Atlast you have organized yout stuff.
I was waiting for this one. Awesome setup.
Glad you like it!
Did you remove this from your gladiator?
You even had room to spare for your smoke machine, well done! Did you mention which LED lights you used for the hatch doors?
How do these new fancy wiz bang batteries hold up to extreme temperatures?

So now that you have the fancy red arc can I have your Jackery?😃
Have a good weekend?
It's Friday morning here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania..
This set up is as cool as it gets
Amazing build!!
Would they do this on another rig ?
Absolutely
BEAST of a SETUP...WOW 💪😎👍
Brother . How many miles do you have on the Gladiator? Love the videos
78k kms
That is so badass Shaun! I wish I was local to Epic (and had unlimited cash) to set my Gladiator up like that!

I don't know, sorry. You might have to drive out to B.C
@@TheStoryTillNow sorry, typical Canadian response lol. 👊🏼. Well I guess I could think of worse places to take a road trip to.
Sheesh what a come up all provided by too damn also badass setup only if they can provide me some man I ride be decked out too haha

That’s only for winter. Although it doesn’t get super cold here, it does sometimes.
Amazing. I want this so bad 😁
how much can you vouch for the extra debit card? legit or scam?
I highly suggest you do your own research for any financial life decisions, instead of taking my advise.
Sick!!!
Yay!
Get a Honda generator, or even a Generac.... inexpensive and it will solve all your power needs!
Running a generator all night isn't a viable solution. They are also heavy to carry and require fuel. This is light, regenerates power, and does everything I could need.
Nice
Gamechanger!
supper cool system , but it costs more then my van , lol .... eh
😎👍
