Nice clean install, Sir. One advantage of not having it inside a protective box is it gets better air circulation for better heat dissipation..

@TonyTheTechnician 11 месяцев назад

Thank you and absolutely 👍

@FixItYerself Месяц назад

Clean install! Love the braided cables and the tight fitting grommets

@TonyTheTechnician Месяц назад

Thank you!

@nitrous07me 11 месяцев назад

Looks cleanly done, just keep in mind to leave plenty of slack on those cables near the battery in case you ever need to get that battery warrantied out at the dealership. Them techs only get .30 for a battery.

@TonyTheTechnician 11 месяцев назад

Ya I left about a foot of slack on them. And I work at the dealership that works on my truck so that's a plus lol

@lincolnmoore3913 7 дней назад

I don’t believe you had to run 2 full wires. Only the positive needs to be attached to the battery. The ground wire could go to the frame under the truck

@TonyTheTechnician 6 дней назад

Not what is recommended when running higher wattage items. I'm sure most things would be fine with it just frame mounted but it is recommended to run directly to battery

@wt9653 3 месяца назад

I typed the 2023 Honda Ridgeline on how to run wire to the bed from the battery. WTH, how did Colorado come up? I'm trying to setup a DC to DC charging for my power station. Power stations are the best way to have portable power in your truck. You're not limited to small inverters for 120v. Power station can offer 240vac besides the 120vac.

@TonyTheTechnician 3 месяца назад

I have 4 power stations and love them but an inverter is a great addition. I can run larger items for much longer than I could on a power station it also takes up less space than most decent sized power stations. Also if I have my power station and it dies or is running low, instead of always needing my solar panel or dc charger to keep it charged which could take hours the inverter can supply 120v and charge my power station to 100% in an hour. So while I love my power stations I also work our of my truck and can get plenty of use from my inverter instead of carrying a power station everywhere

@wt9653 3 месяца назад

@@TonyTheTechnician I have an Ecoflow 800 watt alternator charger. It can charge a 100ah lithium battery in 1 hour 15 minutes. It will easily keep up with your 1000 watt inverter at peak use.

@TonyTheTechnician 3 месяца назад

@wt9653 that's awesome and probably a great thing to have but also 4x the price of an inverter

@wt9653 3 месяца назад

@@TonyTheTechnician No, I bought it on a Kickstarter. Hobo tech had a video on it and used his discount code of 65 dollars. The kick starter price was 949 dollars minus 65 dollars. I paid something like 880. It includes Ecoflow Delta 2 (999 regular price) Alternator charger (599 regular price) 100 w folding solar panel (329 regular price) Amazon even got into the promotion. 849 for the Delta 2 and the charger. No solar panel. I think Amazon still has special promotion?

@wt9653 3 месяца назад

If you have power stations. You might want to look into the Pecron alternator charger. It'll charge at 500 watts to any brand of power station. You have to know the specs for your power station. It has to accept 42 volts or higher. It's very reasonable at 150 dollars. You already ran wire to the back. You can tap into it with the charger.

@Downtimelost 11 месяцев назад

Sickkkk ! My z71 has the inverter but only works while the truck is on and I hate that !

@TonyTheTechnician 11 месяцев назад

Thanks!! Ya I wanted the stock inverter but I didn't order my truck. So I figured it would be a good upgrade. That's good to know. I didn't know that. I understand why but they could have designed it to work with the truck off until the battery hits a certain voltage.

@bobbyfallis2897 3 месяца назад

This may be a dumb question, can you use the power inverter while the truck is off. I ask because I just bought a school bus and will be needing a power inverter soon.

@TonyTheTechnician 3 месяца назад

Yes but depending on what your running it could drain your battery

@Tommy-rr7ez 6 месяцев назад

With you having it mounted in your truck bed in the open, doesnt the weather, rain sun and snow etc, cause trouble for it? Is it weather proof? Im just learning about these and solar things so im just asking buddy to learn! Thanks for the video and it realy amazed me it looked pretty simple!

@jonchase7752 Месяц назад

I don’t understand what an inverter is, is it a battery or is it a generator

@TonyTheTechnician Месяц назад

An inverter converts your 12v dc to ac power.

@BamaJoeBob 8 месяцев назад

Fantastic video! How did you decide on the circuit breaker amperage?

@TonyTheTechnician 8 месяцев назад

Thank you. I used ohms law for wattage of inverter divided by volts. You could probably get by with a 100 or 105 amp fuse or breaker I went a little bit higher after looking at another chart online that recommended 175 but I felt like that was a little high so I went with 135

@jaycito2000 9 месяцев назад

Great video! Did you have to drill holes on your molle panel to mount the inverter? Thanks.

@TonyTheTechnician 9 месяцев назад

No I just used large washers on the back side

@billywatson118 7 месяцев назад

I have a nissan titan with plug in back of bed already , so all i need is inverter right?

@robertb6964 11 месяцев назад

I don’t understand…why did you take the ground all the way back to the battery? Why not ground to the frame under the bed?

@TonyTheTechnician 11 месяцев назад

When running an inverter or item that's over 500w its always best to go directly to battery. Most manufacturers recommend this as well. The unit actually also includes a safety ground that can be wired from the unit to the chassis. If you are only going to run low amperage items then the chassis ground is fine

@BradMclain 2 месяца назад

I assume the installed inverter is waterproof from Harborfreight?

@TonyTheTechnician 2 месяца назад

No it is not. I have my bed cover sealed very well I also mounted a carbon fiber plate over top of the inverter incase some how water does get in it will not get on the inverter. Most people will mount the inverter in a storage container in the bed but this has worked well for me with no issues for about 8 months

@hectorgarcia5424 8 месяцев назад

Hey, great vid answered a lot of questions. I wanted to see if ypu had a recommendation for running 2,000 watt inverter about the same distance 14 feet? What awg wire would you recommend.

@TonyTheTechnician 8 месяцев назад

Thank you. If you plan on running the inverter at or around its peak I would run atleast 2/0 and possibly a 200 amp circuit breaker

@trucemusicproductions2011 8 месяцев назад

Do you have issues with the cable being so long?

@TonyTheTechnician 8 месяцев назад

No issues

@trucemusicproductions2011 8 месяцев назад

@@TonyTheTechnician Okay, also what would you recommend for circuit breaker amp protection size if I’m using a 2000W inverter

@TonyTheTechnician 8 месяцев назад

@trucemusicproductions2011 I would run between a 150 and 200 amp circuit breaker. Also depends on of you are running this inverter near its max consistently and the size cables you are using on the inverter

@trucemusicproductions2011 8 месяцев назад

@@TonyTheTechnician I’ll probably use the 4 gauge cables, and wouldn’t be using much power only laptop charging and electric kettle

@TonyTheTechnician 8 месяцев назад

@trucemusicproductions2011 make sure to check the wattage on that kettle. Alot of heating elements run at higher wattage usually between 1000 and 2000. 4 Guage should be fine if your only going a few feet. If your going more than like 4 to 6 feet I would run bigger cable for a 2000w

@devantemorgan7489 7 месяцев назад

Can you ground to frame of vehicle. ??

@TonyTheTechnician 7 месяцев назад

You can but anything over 500w is suggested to be ran directly to the battery

@AJ-ds9xq 8 месяцев назад

Hi! Question, does the breaker has to be near the battery? Because I am planning to run the wire inside my suv from the battery to run the inverter but I don't want to place my inverter permanently, just use it as needed. So if I wana do that, do you recommend placing the breaker inside the suv near the inverter, that way I can keep it open and kill the power when inverter not in use and close it when I am using the inverter or is there any other method to do that? Thank you!

@TonyTheTechnician 8 месяцев назад

It's best to keep the circuit breaker as close to the battery as possible to keep damage as minimal as possible if anything ever happened. You could still use the circuit breaker to shut it off when removed but I might look into some quick disconnects for the battery

@aldee3018 4 месяца назад

nice setup question, what tools have you used with that inverter and which one had the most draw?

@TonyTheTechnician 4 месяца назад

I use it primarily for camp lighting, charging my cordless tools, charging power stations. I have ran my Fortress air compressor and it ran at like 800 to 900 watts if I remember correctly.
