Constantly impressed by how much your channel has evolved. Electric VW bus, DIY power walls and portable power solutions all presented in an easy to digest format. Keep up the great work!
Agreed! I'm building a 12V pack because of this channel
Dang! I love how neat and clean these packs are. I can't wait to get a few to build with. Fantastic job on these packs/kits.
This was so simplistic and easy to follow along. I've been interested in your projects for some time now, and this is the first I think I could complete easily, without having to learn skillets I don't have yet. Screwed in connections and simple connectors make this build achievable! Great job! You can see how much thought I'd put into the design!
This is absolutely amazing!
900 amp hours in a box that weighs nearly nothing.
This will change a lot of choices surrounding off grid and appliance abilities. Thanks for sharing.
You're contributions to the DIY off grid community are frankly UNPARALLELED! Thank you for all your content always!
Unseriesed too! 😆
I’m probably the least electrically inclined person on the planet, but this gives me hope for a DIY power wall. Awesome!
you being the least electrically inclined person on the planet is WHY this gives you hope for a DIY power wall.
because holy moly that is the single worst idea i have ever seen.
you know there are much safer and much cheaper batteries out there than a pack of 18650's when you want as much power as that wall.
not to mention. ONE single one of those 18650 batteries failing. and your entire house burns down.
I just met you Jehu, yesterday through your diy channel and have watched (binged.. LOL) a few of your projects. I'm planning a trip to Puerto Rico in Feb of 2021, after a 4 year absence before Hurricane Maria blew off the roof of my parents country house in the mountains. I love to DIY and therefore my trip is to try and rebuild the house to make it livable again and honor my parents legacy. This Solar Powerpack is perfect to sustain myself there while I try to bring the house back to life!
Thank you for the ideas, inspiration and your positive energy. Pa'lante siempre!
Awesome Build! I work as a maintenance technician for AT&T. I climb cell towers 300+ feet daily to fix common issues related to cell equipment. This kit would be awesome to have in order to keep my radio and diagnostic equipment charged since I’m in the sun all the time. Love your videos! Keep them coming!
Pretty amazing how this guy went from on genre of content to a completely different one, then mastered that different one, then GAINED subs tenfold, and then revolutionized the DIY battery game with custom products that take the suffering out of it..... I wonder when he sleeps.... Maybe he’s got a power pack plugged into himself? Sheesh... BRAVO! I’ll be ordering.
Jehu and his team deserve plaudits for what they have driven forward in terms of battery practise ,engineering,craft and sheer determination , pat on the back to you all .
I have always thought about a emergency application of a system like this as a " keep my freezer food from going bad " a system like this paired with a few cheap solar cells and a inverter sized to power the freezer only. Long power outages really hurt people that buy in bulk to save money when it all goes bad even being able to run the freezer a few hours a day would keep it frozen solid
In the midwest we just put our food outside ;)
@@circletech7745 We did this one winter in MI. power went out and everything went out in the snow... Was in the single digits during the day and negative overnight. Not a problem at all
For those suggestions that say put it out in the snow that's great in the winter but what if it above freezing or more no for when it's above freezing we need power to run fridge and freezer unfortunately because I live in Canada with our lower dollars and high shipping cost it's above my budget there's only two units I can afford and they use a sealed lead acid battery and both are designed to kill the battery in a year because of not charging them fully and discharging to below 12 Volts so I'd basically be buying them for the inverter and that doesn't make sense if their reviewers would do proper reviews and tell of their faults they'd fix them we need a great entry level solar generator that has a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter with sealed lead acid batteries charged proper so they'd last five to eight years and the ability to upgrade to lithium when the battery dies I'm hoping nature generator will fix their flaws as it already has a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter so if they'd at least charge the battery to 14.8 float charge at 13..4. and not discharge below 12.2 and upgrade the solar input to 400 watts or higher it would be a good unit and I could live with the other flaws. to change the solar charge controller to a programmable mppt solar charge controller that's able to charge lithium battery as well would make it a great entry level unit
I like the modular concept and the fact that the case has everything in it and looks neat and tidy from the outside. The circuitboard concept seems so much more advanced than the usual soldering or spot-welding exercises... Unlike anything I have seen so far on youtube. I am impressed!
I've learned so much from your videos. I just recently got done building a 48 kWh power wall with 120ah LG Chem pouch cells from the chevy bolt. I've been wanting to build a modular system for a little while now. I dove headfirst into experimenting with different cell chemistries. A lot of thanks to you and a few other youtubers who have made people more comfortable with lithium cells and how they work and what can be done with them.. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
So inspiring seeing how far you've come developing your ideas into reality
This would be perfect for scout summer camps and contingency planning. Love it. Been following you for a couple of years. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for making these battery packs so accessible. It's incredible, the work you're doing.
Handling with Lithium has never been this safer and modular. Your such a good man for sharing this technology and detailed information. Simple and straightforward approach. Thank you for inspiring us DIYers and Hobbyists here in Philippines. Cheers Sir.
I’ve been watching your progress from the beginning, you’ve come a long way from working from home. Great job!
I'm impressed with the simplicity of construction and the final look of the box!
Jehu, I'm really happy you've started pre-building a portion of the system. I was intimidated by all the soldering involved with putting together a battery system. Now a modular build that's up my alley. Thank you.
Love it. I always get my pack 90% done before I quit and come back a month later with a new idea.
Saludos from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 keep helping the community for all off us that can relate to your work
Jehu this would actually be pure fun to put together; your PCB system has evolved so considerably it’s amazing. Congrats.
For the XT90 cable it might be better to put the connection points at opposing corners. That way the round trip voltage drop over the standoff “buss bars” will be the same for each module, thus the total charge/ discharge current will be spread evenly between individual modules.
@yeliab814 great idea, any real world proof or example or web site this makes a difference? Not saying it wouldn't (or being a dick), just want to learn..
Great Power Supply! Thank you for making it so simple. I agree, keeping it similar is key. The next step would be to further weatherproof your power supply. Thanks for sharing!
That was a very well thought out process! Congratulations on bringing it to the market! You’ve taken out the intimidating parts and made it clear to understand. Thanks!
At the end of the day, this is one of the easiest battery packs to assemble that I have seen!
I really like how this is mostly in a kit form now.
Honestly, this work will be remembered for a long time!
Having pried apart used laptop batteries and messed with testing, matching, soldering etc to try and build battery packs, this is a great way for the DIY community to build their own power packs cheaply and SAFELY!
I don't think I'd top the stacks with the nylon standoffs though. In my experience they are structurally pretty weak and break or strip easy. I think I'd probably use regular metal nuts and find another way to mount that end.
Great project and a great product!
This looks like a really easy pack to build but I'm just here to get the free one. LOL Thanks for making these incredible videos.
I'm going to save this video to my "Home Improvement" folder so I can make a powerwall someday. Thanks for the info.
Good luck bud
You rock! Finally getting around to designing a solar wind system for a base camp, you are making that process 10 times easier. Keep up the great work!
I love it...simplicity at it's finest! Gonna build me some battery packs now!!!
I love that build and really portable solar generator
Bloody fantastic mate! You have made it look so easy, but I can appreciate all trails, errors, and effort, you have made and put in it over the years. To make something so simple but unique, is an absolutely brilliant. Thanks cobber, for another great presentation.
Thank you for clearly explaining this DIY assembly! Simply AWESOME! Very impressive! Gives confidence that I would be capable building!
Fascinating and SIMPLE Build - pre-built modular is the way to go for both hobby and emergency needs! Thanks Jehu
I love to watch your videos even though I don't have the materials and equipment that's needed.
I'm very interested the module of yours. You assembled it easy with those.😍😍😍
Why can't ship to other countries (ex. Philippines😂)
I've always been told the battery leads needs to be attached at opposite ends of the battery, rather than in the middle as you've done. What's your experience with battery lead placement?
Love the simplicity of this kit. You have great videos. I appreciate the work you have done for Puerto Rico.
A great little power storage system. Be useful for sure for emergencies or camping. And like what Jehu says in the video, can be used as however you need from small things like what he shows to BIGGER projects. Gives me ideas for sure.
Would like to see you test this on some things around the house.
Do you make any 3s 12v pcbs? Checked your site but only see one series configuration
I'm building this almost to a T. I may use a different case. I'm just doing it a little at a time. Got my cells situated, tested and rewrapped, and just got the diy modules in so Ill be working those after work. And Just ordered the BMS and charge controller. Getting excited for this to all come together! Its gonna be for my mom. She wants to try that whole vanlife thing. But instead of going full bore on a dedicated system before she even knows if shes gonna want to do it full time, I figured this would a good option.
Great emergency power pack. God bless! Definitely a great tool for daily or emergency use. I love it and want one. Highly recommend for diy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and design.
Can’t get much easier than this!
sweet, would love to see a 12v system, for automotive use
Dude, this is seriously cool, a slightly taller case would posibly allow for a small pure sine wave inverter to be put in as well. Could make for a very handy little off grid solar generator. I may need to experiment with this.
I’ve been following your channel for years and even enjoyed some of your time lapse music (like one of the artists named Tobu - Sapphire), and very much want to build my own Solar Generator for my family. I love the work you did for the citizens of Puerto Rico. Thank you for being an awesome person!
Not mentioned and highly critical: thermostat for high and low temperature shutdown.
I wouldn't take this anywhere. It looks like a bomb. Lol
I love your simplistic approach to show the average person how to make power packs . Keep up the good work.
I dig your case and battery build. Currently experiencing test outage and realizing I need more portable power!
Would love to build a power wall using this method
AWSOME, this is the best DYI battery pack I've seen. Hope I win hehe
I’ve been looking for a portable compact build like this forever! Well done!
Man, you've come a long way since I've been subbed to this channel. What a great solution to building DIY battery packs! As always, great work Jehu! 👍
It doesn't get much easier than that. Jehu the GOAT
Can these components be used for a 12 volt pack
Yes. Sort of. You could pull 3 of the batteries out of each board and get a 12-16V pack, but you'd probably be better off using something designed to run at 12V, like a 4S LiFePO4 pack. The 7S boards are designed to run in the 24V range.
Just getting into solar and love your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
From Nigeria I actually like the simplicity attached to this work and the straight to point explanation. I believe this will save a life over here owing to our power problems. Love you and your work and keep doing the good work.
Your're like the John Wayne of DIY, but again, who the hell is John Wayne!
I'm Arabic. So I cant be riding around with one of those. Lol
Bro this is fucking hilarious
You win i died hahahhaa
Wait. Wait I got one....... I almost blew up laughing
Ok ok I'm done
Oh my goodness !!!😂
Haa
The cleanest portable generator I have seen. I love it!
Super frickin' cool. I wish I had the loot to throw down on one for sure. Is this the evolution of the diy pack you started for the hurricane relief? A great design that enables the end user to tailor it for their needs. Great stuff brother! Keep on keepin on. The knowledge you pass down and make available is damn near priceless!
PSA WARNING: if you have motion sickness/Vertigo, be aware there are lots of up/down hand movements in this video
dang, if only I knew ahead of time
😂😂😂
PRISMATIC we need MORE PRISMATIC LITHIUM BATTERIES...
Exactly!
WANT!
@John Rooney true,, enslave them so you won't have to pay them,,that's the American way.. or a regime change if their leaders make a fuss,,if that don't work bomb their schools and weddings. then lie about the proxy unrest they funded.
Your videos really make this technology accessible. Thanks for building the conceptual bridges with these kits to help us follow you on this great learning journey.
Wow love how easy this system is. Like legos of batteries
Stop calling these things generators.
They are battery packs.
I do agree with you. But solar generators is a popular name already. Everybody knows it and can relate the device with the name.
I don’t think that it gonna change now!!
How is not a generator? You plug it into a solar panel which these are designed for. No different than a generator that runs on gasoline.
Very nice idea. In the process of building the solar system on my RV and looking to build 36 or 48 volt batteries. This looks like about the best way so far. Thanks 👍
This is freaking AWESOME. I'm sold. I think a feature / capacity / price comparison matrix is leaking out of my fingertips and into a spreadsheet...
Love that little round switch. Used the same one on my “a” pillar to switch my light bar for my plow truck.
This is such an elegant piece of equipment. I appreciate your thought process into it..
Love the simplicity of assembly. Neat, clean, assessable; great job.
This is awesome! I only recently got into learning about power storage and was wondering why I people didn't use those battery holders to make things more modular. This, though is far more complete than anything I had in mind! Great job! I look forward to more videos, you have a lot of knowledge to share!
You rock dude.. an Enterprise... Building a legacy... From the mind up. Love it
This should be a mandatory item in any home in Venezuela. Simple but highly functional and reliable when the "normal" or usual is 8 or more hours without electrical service every day! I need it!
Love this. I wish I could build this. I just did a solar set up to run my fridge etc in my caravan . I used deep cycle AGE way too heavy . I need to learn this. Thank you for your time man . You make it sound easy .
Cheers
From Australia

Loved it! The idea, the technique was easier than I expected, and it's just great with my ideas for cell phones being solar as well!!!
Just getting back into battery’s glad to see your still at it .And that is way your a professional thanks
So glad the pre-populated versions are available!
This is super awesome. Exactly what I've been wanting to build!
I like that prefabricated box, thats perfect for beginners to get inspired to building there own battery box!
Incredible engineering work here. You have done a really nice job of making a truly modular easy to integrate solution.
One of the best DIY projects I’ve seen for battery builds 👍
Man this is great!! I really need to make/get one of these. I do mobile repair and have many computers that I’m always charging currently when my vehicle is Ignition on, wish I could leave them plugged into a pack like this to keep all the batteries 100% full.
That is slick! Liked, saved, want to built this one soon!
That's awesome. I turned an old solar powered electric fence charger into a portable battery pack for charging things while I'm camping. It uses a 6v lead acid battery though.
From simple soldering cells together to this you've come a long way,I like that portable battery
As a grandmother this would come in handy for my phone which dies every 3 hours plus laptops for grandchildren make life so much easier...great to watch be even better to own...
Love all the work you do and really appreciate you sharing all your successes and failures! Keep up the great work!
Wow that was awesome! Great job. I need to figure out something like that. I'm currently living in a tent. Bills are low but power is not easy to come by.
I'm glad I found this video. Thanks for the info. Now, it doesn't look as complicated to build. Looking forward to watching your other videos.
Awesome little power pack. I'd love to have that for camping or even just to keep in the car for emergencies.
This yet again a better design and build. Always stepping up.
I was never interested in a solar pak,until my husband showed me your video, now i want to learn more and start building some of these projects. Im sold!
Very inspirational - great option for the prepper crowd as well. Would love to see links to other prepper projects that would assist in becoming power self-reliant.
Thanks for making the kit-ish type system. I think I might actually attempt to build this.
Just started watching your channel, and now I can't stop. I even bought $100 of components. Can't wait until I finish my Powerwall !!!
Nice and clean. This would be great for emergencies when power goes out. Goes out several times a year in my location.
