Thanks for the vid! I've been looking for something like that! As you may know there is a fully fledged war going on here in Ukraine, and those pesky ruzzians are tending to hit our power grid constantly. Those mean people want us all to die from freezing. So I was searching for a cheap solution for my eb3a capacity extension. Luckily, I have some 4A Makita clone batteries, so it'll be possible to make it last a bit longer on a frosty winter night, allowing me to keep my gas boiler up and running. Glory to Ukraine and thanks to all the free world for your support!

I have multiple power stations, pawn shops, and I put them together using a dc5521 to XT60 cable. I just use two Ecoflow River power stations, a 412w and a 288w, daisy changed while recharging from solar.

That's a good idea. How has it worked out in the long run? I'm still learning about all the different types of batteries. I've heard that using two batteries of different chemistry in this application can ruin the LiFePO4 battery. Thanks for the video.
@theresatrickforthat
@theresatrickforthat Год назад
Thanks for watching! It’s been working out great for me! No issues at all! The good news is that since I’m expanding the capacity through the DC input, I’m actually not hooking different battery chemistries up together directly. Rather the power tool batteries are sending power to the DC charger which in turn passes it on to the main battery inside the unit. So in this scenario, you can use any kind of battery chemistry you want and it won’t hurt anything.

@surfx4804 Год назад
Nice, I will have to try this. Max DC charge the EB3A will take is 200w in the manual, though 28v at 8.5a is a bit more (238w). Your 18v battery at 8.5a would top out at 153w. As the EB3A will pass through the input power then I expect it will take the edge of usage but drain your power-tool battery first.

What would happen if I tried to use a 58 volt Ego battery. Would I blow the EB3A, would it lower the voltage or something else? Thanks
@surfx4804
@surfx4804 11 месяцев назад
@@JoeAnshien I would not do that it could do bad things :) What you can do is get a step down voltage convertor, which will drop the voltage to 28v or less (depending what you get). There will be some power loss but it should work. I have used step up convertors to turn 12v to 24v to charge things but personally not used a step down.

This is awesome, just awesome. I will do the same for my Ecoflow with my 40v Ryobi batteries BTW, the way to get above the 150 watt range is that you will need something that can pump close to 28v Thank yoiu

@@robertriley949 Hey Robert, no, this will not work on the Bluetti. I have used the Ryobi 40v batteries in a pinch with my Ecoflow units and it works well. I have gotten rid of all my Bluetti except for the EB3A and use it to back up my network equipment during an outage.

That is cool. I was expecting 100w charge rate. The standard charge rate is 260ish watts and obviously is only fully accomplished by AC charging and the turbo on my EB3A is 430w. But that's cool you can slow it down by using silent mode, I hadn't thought of that. Thank you!

If these batteries do not have BMS integrated, you could deplete them critically low and basicly destroying them. For an incidental cases it might work, but not for permanent setup.

@@theresatrickforthat I disagree. Luckily you are not draining the makita battery below its safety limit because the bluetti stops at 12.0 volts. the makita has a "bms" but only when connected to a makita device.

Nice Video! Can you confirm the adapter cable you have linked is the actual cable you are using in the video? I've that particular cable does not charge the center pin and might not work with the EB3A. But, if you are actually using that same cable, I'm going to go ahead and get one. Thanks!

I am wondering if you are exceeding a safe discharge rate for the 5Ah x 18V (90Wh) battery, and are risking a fire. Maybe the Silent Mode is safer, pulling just over 1C from the Tool Battery.
@theresatrickforthat
@theresatrickforthat 22 дня назад
Maybe so! I know the power tools themselves pull more than 1C all the time and the Makita batteries have a BMS that add an extra layer of protection. But I’m certainly a believer in being better safe than sorry. Thanks for watching!

Why not just use some copper penneys on the battery positive and negative posts with alligator clips and then to the eb3a?

If you have the Makita battery plugged into the DC port and plug in the AC charge (wall) cord will it charge both your Bluetti AND the Makita battery?

If the Bluetti was at 50% then how much more can you raise the percentage to after fully discharging the Makita 5ah 18 volt battery?
@theresatrickforthat
@theresatrickforthat Год назад
The EB3A is much smaller than the Delta 1300...so one 18V 5ah Makita battery adds about 30% additional charge to the EB3A if you don't have any kind of load on it.

I'm completely ignorant when it comes to electric. Is there a cheap set up like this with no wiring diy skills for the bluetti ac 180? It looked like you had to wire the barrel plug?

@theresatrickforthat 7 месяцев назад
If they run out completely be sure to charge them ASAP. The BMS will usually protect the cells with a low voltage cutoff, but if they aren't charged soon enough, they will completely die and there's no coming back from that. Thanks for watching!

Why use a cordless tools battery if you can buy a cheaper LiPo4 12V battery, longer charge cycles. You are shortening the life cycle of your makita lithium ion battery.
@theresatrickforthat

I would recommend you don’t use this as a permanent solution, but sure works great for the weekend of camping or the occasional power outage when you need a bit of extra power. Thanks for watching!
@Golfreak
@Golfreak Год назад
Because everyone has these cordless tool batteries laying around. I have a bunch of the Ryobi 18v 4ah so why not use it. They are small and you can take a couple of them with you adding ~140wh to the EB3A. Sure you don't want to do it everyday but in a pinch, this is a great solution.

You're not actually expanding the battery capacity, you're just using the Makita battery to charge the Bluetti.
@theresatrickforthat
@theresatrickforthat Месяц назад
True…which in turn makes the main battery last/run longer essentially expanding its capacity. Thanks for watching!

@@theresatrickforthat Actually no. The capacity of the battery remains the same, you just recharged it with another battery. If you recharged it with a solar panel you haven't expanded it's capacity. Definition of 'recharge' isn't the same as 'capacity.'
