That looks like a very nice unit with a lot of features. Thank you for the review!
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment.
Dude, you are practically paralleling my projects, lol..this is like the 3rd in a row in recent days.. a month or so ago you were looking at Bluettis and portable solar panels, then the low temp Redodo, and now the Licitti - I'm ordering one today.
I was going to order a few with intention of upgrading a couple to a bigger Inverter and controller and just use the box, but there's not enough room inside for that.🤷♂ Still gettin' at least one for the unforeseen emergency to keep in the bugout-mobile.
Appreciate your content brother.👍
You're very welcome! Glad I'm able to work with the items you're interested in. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent review.
Thank you for the comment!
I would recommend using a wrench to fasten the battery terminals to prevent overheating or arching. A screw driver won't compress the spring washer enough to ensure good contact between the two surfaces.
No asked u.
Agreed.
@@joshholden8561 I'm sure "you" know what u meant.🙄
@@svenshanah lol, trolls, whattayadoo?
Good point. Thanks for the comment.
I don't know, but it is possible that the temperature sensor is a way to control the fans. If the inverter is not producing heat the fans will remain off until temp rises due the inverter running.
That's a good observation. Thanks for the comment.
Could you pls show us how to add (mod) a shunt battery monitor properly. With charge controller and inverter hooked to it. So we can see everything properly. Thanks.
I can do a video on that. Thanks for the idea!
Thats pretty cool and I been researching solar power generator, and I have a question. Does that support pass through solar charge. Like can I use the 110 watt plug and than will the solar panel charge the battery at the same time?
Yes it does. Everything inside is independent of each other. Hope this helps!
Can you guide me how this would help in my plan to use it as back up to a solar pond pump where when there is no sun, the system will switch automatically so that the pond pump will continue to work overnight?
I would need to know a lot more about the solar pond pump in order to really help. The battery box would need to be wired between the solar panel and the pump.
I'm new to so called "Solar Generators" and own a few brands and what interests me the most are the 12V cigarette receptacles and not the a/c power. I own a couple of jackery 500 that I use for my dometic and cpap, but would enjoy a power bank that would have 3 or 4 12v cigarette receptacle so that I could also plug a 12v fan when camping. Do you know if I could replace the usb plugs with the 12V cigarette plugs and still draw 10 amps max from each receptacle , will the wire gauge handle it? Thank you for your videos, I a new subscriber, I really like your content.
Unfortunately no. The USB ports wouldn't support that load. My suggestion would be to buy a cigarette lighter adapter to 5521 barrel plug. That might work for you if your power station has barrel plug inputs.
The 12VDC cigarette receptacle is probably limited to 10A or 15A, so if you go the "splitter" route, you have to make sure your devices don't go over that amount when run concurrently.
Another option is to get (or make) an adapter for the 50A DC Anderson plugs as those are putting out battery voltage (around 13.1V w/LiFePO4). Unlikely Jackery, these are NOT regulated, so the voltage will fluctuate. However, LiFEPO4 batteries have a consistent 13Vish output. Just make sure you DC devices don't need an exact voltage (most don't as car voltages fluctuate a lot).
hh, i LOST ONE OF MY BATTERY TERMINAL NUTS...LOOKED EVERY WHERE FOR IT,CAN YOU TELL ME IF IT IS M8 OR M6.... SO i CAN GET A REPLACEMENT. THANKS
If it's a 100ah battery then odds are it's M8.
How many watts can you charge by solar and how much by A/C power? Can you A/C charge battery with solar at same time? If so at how many watts total? What does a power station like ecoflow delata 2 do that this unit doesnt? Because this is half the price with 100ah battery conpared to delta 2 and 100ah battery has close to 300wh more.
There is no AC input for the battery box. You would need to get a lifepo4 charger. This box also won't tell the SoC of the battery. Hope this helps. Thanks for the questions and comment.
Love this thing. So easy. I’m strongly thinking about this as a redundant option for some lights, tv, and light electronics. For the price, can’t really beat it. Would love to see an AC charger and cigarette lighter option to charge be car.
I guess they needed to save money somewhere. AC charging port sure would make a difference though. Thanks for the comment.
I would think a Cig Lighter would be an easy enough addition, and you can order one with or without a 20A charger. I just did.
On the website page for each size, down to the right there's a drop down tab to choose with or without the charger.👍
That battery needs rubbuer covers ir something to keep the pos and neg from ever having a chance touching the charger.
Yes. I'll make sure to use them. Thanks for the comment.
I paid the extra for the 20 amp AC battery charger. There was nothing else included in the licitti box. Am I missing something or is it built into this box and if so, I have no idea how it works. Any thoughts any help? Thank you!
Everything should be built into the box. It's all included under the top.
@@OffGridBasement after several email attempts they are finally shipping me the charger. It is a separate unit.
@@karlpeters2134 Hey is the 20amp charger connected to the unit via anderson?
Make sure if you put a Lithium battery inside it has at least a 100A BMS, otherwise the inverter will shut down if you try to draw 1000W. Many of the cheaper 100AH batteries only have 50A BMS. And beware - do not try and use this to jump start a motor via the large anderson plug - use a proper jump start device.
Thank you for the info and the comment.
What are the specs on the MPPT?
10a max @ 45v. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment!
I wish it had an A/C charger built in to recharge the battery.
That would be a very nice addition. Thanks for the comment.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what everyone is talking about as far as the AC charger..but you can order one with or without a 20A charger. I just did.
On the website page for each size/model, down to the right there's a drop down tab for you to choose with or without the charger.
That's why it lists the price variation at the top of the page - with/without.👍
You have the option to order with or without a charger.
@@svenshanahHey is the add on 20amp charger connection via anderson?
Get a charger that is appropriate for the type of battery you are using and replace the large alligator clips that normally go on the battery posts and put replace them with an Anderson plug. Be sure to be mindful of the polarity when you put the Anderson plug on the charger wires. Then just plug the charger into one of the 50A Anderson plugs on the lid. Those plugs are for input and output.
i had to shave the corner off the battery so it fits strait.
I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks for the comment.
Dont buy this as they still haven’t sent my AC charger. They don’t respond to emails and I’m out money. I need to cancel the payment on a credit card and very frustrated with this experience. Buy something else.
That sucks. There is nothing worse than crappy customer service. I haven't had any contact with Licitti after finishing the review.
I like the concept of a battery-less power station where the user supplies the battery. This unit is not the ticket, though. They shouldn't try to box a limited-size battery for one thing... just the power station piece and an anderson connector or two for the battery mains is more desirable. Also, power stations (even small ones) don't use 12V internal architectures for a reason. This thing is going to be horribly inefficient.
But something like this that can accept a battery, say up to 16s (51.2V nominal), without the battery box mess... that would be useful. The product is horrible but the concept is sound.
Thank you for the info and the comment.
