Yeah...I have 8 batteries now..I get 2 a month usually but I may stop at 10. Things smooth out every time I add them...the voltage stays better... having a couple too many is really not too bad a thing..it's just less often to need charged because they start acting differently...so that's less times the charger has to work...they dip some when you run something but they bounce back and with just a bit of solar power they stay up enough to keep from having to charge...then when you get a good sunny day it has somewhere to go besides a "dump load" ...see how I timed things, I'll be wanting to try the AC next month...I'll probably need 10 batteries lol...oh well...it always takes more than you think it will at first...this big blue Aims will run whatever but it gets hungry like the wolf...well it has rained for days so I'm gonna finish this homemade generator project and see how many watts I can push into 680 amp hours of batteries or if I'm going to change pulleys...its always something else..keep your stick on the ice
I'm looking at using this on a Central Heater NG system drawing 10.14A @ 120V. Not sure about the "Modified Wave Form" this thing creates. My system is about 3-4 years old and I don't want to knock out a relatively knew circuit board or fan motor.
I tried one of these to run my fridge in case of a power outage. Big disappointment! You need a PURE SINE WAVE inverter to run anything with a motor. When I plugged the fridge in the battery voltage dropped to 11.8 and it shut off. During the short time the fridge ran it was noisy and I think the life expectancy was shortened. These modified sine wave inverters are ok for lights and small heaters but that's about it.
Love the demonstration but worried that if you do too many more videos that place will look like someone let fly with a 50 cal. Machine Gun! LoL!! By the way whats the make on your charge controller? I just subscribed

Quick question - I have an exterior shed that sits in really good sun and I would like to create a simple solar setup like the one you have. I intend to power the lights, a small security camera maybe, 18v and 40v Ryobi recharging, and occasional small mitre saw or table saw. What would you suggest in terms of panels, inverter, and battery bank? Thanks for the video!!
Well, that was the plan but my power thirsty Aims inverter/charger needs two more I guess...I've got ten but next week gonna be 12of them..I ran the A/C yesterday, it runs it easy but just for the extra like at night I've got to get 2 more...that will give me 510 amp hours....but I think it's finally enough...I maybe could have gotten by with ten batteries, but the sun isn't out enough sometimes because of rain ...hard to figure that one lol but yesterday it was out good for a bit I was getting 510 watts and like 17 amps into the batteries...it doesn't hurt to have some extra, I guess...kinda pricey though lol but it's a one time thing I guess...my system worked much better on ten than on eight so maybe 12 is enough for a cloudy day or two...the total is gonna be right at $1250 for 12 of these that I have...it depends on how much you want to run too...you might have to have more batteries than you think ...the other reason I had to get two more is the solar panels can still overcharge the ones I have so theory is when I hit that magic number they won't be able to do that...almost there, lol...keep sayin that...
Dude destroys his bench instead of drilling a log from that backyard. Wtf hahaha??? Any way I got this same inverter. But it's mounted in my Jeep so it gets the altinater power to when I cranks it up.
You can run a fridge on a standard deep cycle marine battery the inverter will run it just make sure you have something panel or other to keep battery charged and a 35ah battery will run fridge. Fridge dont run constsnly if it does throw it away its nogood
Hi, I did some more research. My freezer operates on 5.0 amps to find the watts need you multiply 5.0 amps by 120 which equals 600 watts constant power needed. The thing is the peak/ start up or kick on is a lot high for a few seconds. As much as 7 times but not less than 3 times the watts. For 3 times the watts needed you multiply 600 watts time 3 equals 1800 watts needed for the motor to engage. At 7 times that you would need an inverter rated at 4200 peak watts. My refrigerator runs on 6.5 amp times 120 equals 780 constant watts needed. But for peak start up the less of 3 times you would need an inverter rated at 2340 Watts peak. At 7 times you would need an inverter rated at 5460 peak watts. Inverter specialist recommend to be on the safe side use the 7 times method. Of course you need batteries, charge controller and solar panels. I have a solar generator, solar panels and wind turbine. But was wanting larger inverters to run the refrigerator and freezer separately.

Thanks Love to see that inverter work just fine with no technical difficulties awesome 😎
To have the bench collapse at the end would have been hilarious.😂
I need to power a circular saw. I have a 100ah lifepo4 battery, hoping this inverter dles the job !
I think I might get one of these, thanks Bro!

How many 100 watt solar panels are you using, maybe I missed it.
Good video
QUESTION 💥💥💥My Red light went on with a sound when I connected a golf cart battery....I don’t understand why?

FLAWLESS VIDEO
I wonder if these 2000 watts inverter can operate a 1- 2 hp motor on garage door, it should be great when power outage!?

Hi. I am doing the exact same thing to a tee. Even Ryobi part. BUT I am doing a vent fan also. Just curious what you ended up doing?

I was figuring 680 amp hours for all the batteries but now that would be 1020 /2 {24 volts} , or 510

You don't have much audio. Can't hear you at all. My question is would this run a full size refrigerator or freezer?
Just one 35 AH battery would not run a full size refrigerator. You would need a much larger battery bank to run it for any length of time.

Lmao this guy is destroying his work bench!!! Wtf dude nobody should take your advice.
