Very thorough parts list - thanks for the effort to include everything.
Looks very clean. Do you have step by step video? I am looking to do project like that
I love this build. Thanks for the parts list too. My adaption is a Pelican Case and the batteries are Milwaukee M18's in parallel. My thinking is off grid tool battery charging flexibility along with a dual purpose as a powerbank for jobsites. Storage Space is limited, always. I think your second box, if you decide to expand storage, should be power tool batteries.
I have solar panels on my cargo trailer just to keep my tool batteries ful
For the diyers.
I was able to use the ridged box that goes on top of this bottom box. The #2 box.( see end of video)
I was able to get 2-80ah batteries with a 5" gap in the middle. As i needed a 24vdc 80ah lifepo4 battery for a kayak motor.
What a great Idea using the aeg quick stack cases
Nicely done! Thyanks for sharing.
Wow, that is a nice one!! I'm gonna copy it.
Very nicely done. I really like the look and design of this build. Subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared .... may the algorithm gods smile favorably upon your channel.
Good job bravo it would be pretty ausome if you could make one using the new ryobi wheel tool box with the ryobi 1000 inverter pretty cool.
very nice!
Nice build. My only concern is the rating of the fuse and breaker you used. At 300amps, the 2AWG cable will melt before they trip. The fuse and breakers should be sized accordingly to protect the cables from overheating.
Nice build. Very nicely documented. I just built one of similar capacity(410ah) over the winter, also in a Rigid toolbox, but mine is rectangular rather than almost square. Are you happy with the 20amp charger? I got the 60amp version because I couldn't see myself waiting 20hrs(worst case) for my battery to charge if I ever needed to charge via AC. I built two 320w solar suitcases to go along with a 160w panel mounted to my vehicles roof to keep things charged with 800w of potential production.
Also, after seeing and never using the 12v barrel connectors on my various store bought power stations, last year I discovered their utility, and I put a bunch of 5121 connectors on my box to power my lights and fans and a DC powered TV. My car fridge runs off of another 12v circuit, so now I really don't use my inverter that much, so I don't have any fan noise or conversion loss. It works really well for camping, which was my intended use.
Yes, the 20amp takes way to long to charge the battery from zero, the idea is to use Solar more than the AC-DC charger, I can use 800watts of Solar to charge the batteries in 4 to 5 hours.
I do wanted to use a bigger AC to dc charger but I am ok with this 2nd slow charge option. 👍🏻
Thanks
Well done!
Can you add a parallel option to connect two of these together?
This is one of the nicest portable station builds I have seen. What is the total weight of your completed unit?
I would add a gfci plug it’s a good safety feature
That would not work since the box is not grounded, however since it’s not grounded you can’t get electrocuted as long as you don’t touch both wires
Any chance we could see a wiring diagram?!!!
Wow Great video!! How much did all that cost?
Honest Question. The Solar generators seem to be a decent idea for a few days without power. I own 2 myself.
BUT lets say there is an extended power down situation due to cyber, solar flare, EMP or whatever else. Perhaps 3-6 months or more.
Would a person be better off, instead of havingone or two solar generators, having just some good 100w solar panels, voltage reulators and some small, car sized power invertors? Then he/she would have the ability to scavenge dozens of car batteries and charge them instead. If the grid is down people won't be driving after the first week due to gasoline shortages and batteries in cars, boats, mowers, tractors, motorcycles etc would be abundant. The ability to charge car batteries around the clock and even set up arrays of car batteries would be very adaptive to the situation.
In other words how many car batteries would be equal to say a Jackery 1000 solar generator with a lithium battery? I would love to see a video on that.
Very nice! What batteries did you use? I did the same project and only fit 100ah due to battery size.
Definitely want to see you build an expansion box, I’m thinking of the same!
thanks a lot,can we plug washing machine,dish washer oven...( Batterie capacity? Please 🌹
You didn t show Solar panels..how many,how Many watts?
Not the highest quality of electronics but as long as it meets your needs without failure that's all that matters
So now we call a battery a solar generator????? Lol
That is a common term for these. A conventional generator uses gasoline or diesel fuel and turns it into 120 vac. A solar generator turns sunlight into 120 vac. A newer terminology is Portable Power System.
Well i see but... it is a solar generator if you add the panel, which it is wired for
