DIY Overlanding Portable Power Station Overview **How did it do on its first 3 day trip??** 

We have used the ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Nice setup. Watching from Thomaston, Georgia

Currently looking into building a set up like this. Thank you for the video and the explanation through out. Just wanted to let you know i appreciate you. Thanks again.

Nice! Thanks for the detailed overview!

That little battery monitor is really nice for the price, I just got one.

It would be helpful if you listed the parts and where to get them along with a schematic.

Great post, going used leaf acid battery and that is it for now, many dollars for upgrade.

Great build! Thanks for sharing.

Nice build!

nice to add an led light or 2.. drop in a rv stereo/ speaks! .. 50 amp connector for engine jump?

Very quality build. I did something very similar using a different case. I was trying to figure out the battery monitor screen. I might have to pick that up.

That looks awesome on the go electric battery on the go, do u have a list. I would like to make one. Thx from Texas

Great job! I built one with a 30A batt and it runs my 47w ICECO fridge for 7 hrs before the fridge shuts down for low v. Something to think about… how does the box vent that hot air when recharging on AC? The fan is just a current draw. I would move the AC charger out of the box and let solar do the charging and dump the fan. Deletes two items. Just a thought but great job!

Thank you for a really good informative video. I like the noco charger set up. Could you please tell me what model charger you have and the accessories that you bought to get it working through the lid, thank you

Great video awesome job, anyway to get parts list?

More info on the build. I'm slowly building one, 200 amp version. The display that tells the power, what brand?

Good job! New subscriber here.

Fabulous!!!! I’m curious how much the whole unit weighs as well as how much say the battery weighs on its own? I take long multi-state, thousand mile motorcycle trips with my wife, her dog while pulling a small cargo trailer so I’m constantly looking for ways to save on weight. While also being able to have and use certain things that run on electricity is ideal. I purchased a Jackery unit but it did not seem to last very long for what we needed it for. Also how much do you believe you put into this system in terms of money? Thanks!

Wow ! That's a great build Man ! Impressive 👍 Would you consider building one of those to sell ? I don't think I'm smart enough to do it, without destroying something. Thanks 👍

In the process of planning out a power box... I see a lot of these with fans to ventilate, seemingly just to keep the charger inside the box while charging without getting too hot. Is that the only reason for ventilation? If so, I think I'm going to opt toward simply storing the charger in the box, and when time comes to charge the battery, I'll simply pull out the charger and leave it out when charging since it'll be plugged into a wall anyway at that point and doesn't need to be portable for that duration. I'd rather have a little more protection from the elements with no fans and holes as this will be on the boat.

What size fuses do you have for the USB and cigarette

That fridge has a compressor? I thought most of those smaller, portable ones use thermoelectric cooling through peltier effect. Added after the fact: Oops, I guess I have some reading to do. I just found a car refrigerator with similar form factor that uses r134. Alrighty then. The one I found claims to be thermoelectric so that's even more confusing.

Do you have a parts list for the build? I like the display with percentage and draw/charge display you have (but could not read the make/part). Thank you.

that very nice build love it 😇😇😇😇 well i build my own but i have 20Amp breaker switch for my 110 A/C out so my inverter not will wrong with it the breaker will just flip like breaker that in house

Yes i have two 100 solar panels

What shunt and meter are you running I’m in the process of building me a setup kinda like yours

2 months later, still waiting on the list parts!!!!!!!

Can I get the parts list?

😵 Love the details of your video. But not liking the handheld phone video, bouncing around hard to follow and not get dizzy...🤪

All these videos are meaningless and help no one. I have this here, and this here blablabla.

Soooooo, where's the part list brother...just make a diy of this video..

Thanks for posting the build. For truck camper, van the use of a DIY portable power station allows for greater 12 volt DC, 120 watt output than the typical Bluetti/Goal Zero/Jackery of the same watt/hour battery size. In my opinion, a 120 watt DC output doesn't cut it for some of the larger and better off road 12 volt DC portable air compressors. With an Anderson connection output port - the output can easily be 240 watts, which is more than enough for current surge at air compressor start up.

Put a thermal temperature switch in for the fan comes on when it wants to

I built something very similar, using the exact same Husky toolbox, but I out the battery in the bottom and all of the output stuff in the middle box. Very cool stuff!

Please make a video how you build your power station. I want to build one my self. 😊😊😊 Thanks and more power!

Excellent presentation and well described! Just a minor point....Can I respectfully suggest you move the camera more slowly...I got dizzy the way it chopped and changed! Keep up the good work!

do you have a circuit breaker for the main fuse box? i put one on mine because it's a massive 120AH battery and i thought it would be better safe than sorry.

Nice build. The biggest thing I would have done differently is to have a main breaker instead of a fuse. If you're in the middle of nowhere and blow a main fuse, do you have a spare?

Thanks for adding the link for the charge controller. I ordered one received it in 3 days and it works like a charm it is hooked to my Harbor Freight 100 amp folding suitcase solar and charging a 100 amp 12 volt lithium battery.

I have the same mppt solar charger. One review on Amazon had a picture of the solar controller after it caught on fire. That mppt solar controller gets very hot. I was afraid it would cause some kind of damage. I am using a Lensun 20a waterproof mppt solar charge controller to charge my two diy battery builds. One is 640wh (12v 50a Lifepo4) The other is 1280wh (12v 100a Lifepo4)

Very professional build. Have fun stay safe.

Greetings Nick! Nice looking portable solar generator. What is the brand of the MPPT controller? What is the model number? I am interested in knowing more about it.

Hi, why do you move your fridge off your battery when you are charging the battery using your noco plug in charger? tia

😊😊😊nice build am building my own 3000 watts pure sine wave am going have 4 out let 110 AC volt with 15A breaker switch for each out put and cooling fan usb port with 12 way fused block water proof with solar charger etc 😊😊😊

Dude why don't you have a bullbar?. Also how did you get a 200 series in the US?

How much does it weigh?

Nice.

Wow..! AWESOME setup..!

Why not just put all the amazon link there?

Pretty fantastic build

Really NICE job, Nick. Yes, I know about having polarity reversed on those push-in connectors and frying a device. Ugh. Next time I build one of these I'll used the 2-pin connectors with the threaded collar connector. Suggestion: Have 2 fans, one on the opposite side, exhausting air. Also, when you can afford it, get a LiFePO4 lithium battery. It weighs a third of Lead-acid, and lasts twice as long. I'm looking forward to getting a DC fridge like yours.

Pretty cool

Awesome ⚡️ 👁 ❤ IT!

Do you have a parts list?

Any low voltage shut off as to not drain the battery all the way? it will kill a non deep cell battery pretty quick.

What’s the benefit of this over ready made?

Turn your mic up.

What’s the cost?
