    Wow! I'm speechless. What an awesome set up. My head is just spinning on how you came up with all of this. I would love to build one just like it but I probably don't have near the resources and know how that you have. To say I am impressed would be an understatement. Well done!

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383  3 месяца назад

      Basic build with good deals on parts, approx. $1350. But I can work on it when individual parts give out. I'm not skilled enough to work on an Eco Flow (It becomes a paper weight) and 12 volts gives me lots of options.

    What would you connect to the smaller Anderson plugs? Is that to provide power externally, or to supply input to charge?

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383  7 месяцев назад +1

      I only use it for providing external power to DC applications like running my ham radios or anything else that is on the smaller side under 30 amps. Yet it also could be used to input 200+ watts of solar, because it does have fuses, but it would need to go through a solar charge controller first.

    How did you decide to use a 250A main fuse (not sure the size here, but in your pervious build that's what you used)? What is your calculation there? Thanks.

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383  8 месяцев назад +2

      In my previous build, with a 3000w inverter, a 300-350a fuse would probably have been a better fit, but I wasn't planning on pushing it to it's limits, it was designed to easily run tools in my garage and fridge/freezer.

    Curious to how you installed the switch for the gauge and when gauge is off does it keep memory

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383  5 месяцев назад

      The push button switch (Both +/-) goes to the fuse panel and then the (+) to the battery. All the switches are in the same configuration (same order) as the fuses. When the gauge is turned off there is no memory. The gauge pulls very little and usually doesn't make much of a difference in accuracy. If I am actively using the power supply on a trip or to run items over a long period of time I will leave the gauge on.

    Do you use any diodes to prevent reverse power when connecting the shore power as well as solar simultaneously?

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383  8 месяцев назад +1

      No I don't. I typically never have a need to run shore power and solar at the same time. Yet, when I have done it I haven't experienced any problems.

      Shouldn't need that since his AC charger and MPPT are totally separate. You can charge those LiTimes at up to 100 amps.

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383  4 месяца назад +1

      I DON'T. I was saying you can convert this system into a 24 volt system if you swap out a few parts (ie. charger & inverter) and put the two 12 volt batteries in series. Which = 24v

    Awesome video. I have everything to build my own except for the batteries -- Do not buy anything from Aolithium. I ordered multiple products from this company that reflected they were in stock. The company waited until the date I was suppose to receive the products (almost 3 weeks after I placed my order) to tell me they are no longer in stock and haven't refunded me my money. Basically they're trying to keep my money and will not ship the products.
