Installing the New MyEnergi Libbi! 🔋 ☀️ | ØY21 

Pleasure to sponsor your content! Great to hear Tradify is improving your business admin and keeping you organised.

Jordan must be sooo jealous now 😅

Gorgeous looking battery arrangement 👌 looks like they've nailed their ecosystem now! Just needs an EV charger V2 which doesn't look like a toilet seat 😂

9:48 Yes you do, we have 260 work days this year out if you most likely will be sick for 8 and must have 28 days of pay hoholidayso you will be working 224 days trying to make your sally lets say £75K gross that 334 to earn a day + 20% on top as overheads and profit (then you must run your busines very conservatively) it's £400 dayily charg to a clinet. And if you make a mistake and you will do some boo boo well it cuts in to your profit.... the best case scenario you have tons of work and 10+ employees so tehn you can bank all the profit they earn for you. And trust me it wont be taht much anyway.... hahaha

This is a great video Cory 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 really enjoyed watching through this one.

Great video as always Cory. But being honest, the libbi seems really overpriced when you compare it to the new GivEnergy all in one. This 10kwh +3.6kw inverter for 7270 + vat where the all in one is 13.5kwh +6kw inverter for 5995+vat. The GivEnergy also comes with gateway to automatically take you off grid in the event of a powercut.

Top quality video Cory 🤟

For my understanding LFP batteries are very sensitive about the cold and would refuse to charge in befeinde degrees Celsius. How is the Levi managing that in regards to the installation outside? Nice video, keep them coming 😊👌⚡️

Totally agree on the battery safety aspect Cory! Great reference to look on when we do our first one. Thanks for sharing!

A 'man' might be ashamed at reading a manual, but an engineer is never ashamed to do so.

I can’t see past The fact brick work on that house has been done by stevie wonder , absolutely horrendous

Battery a Bit low for snowmelt or localized heavy rainfall?

Hope there's a heater or insulation in those battery packs, because LiFePO4 battery capacity and charge/discharge rate goes to shit below 10c. Most won't even charge when they get to around 5c.

Great video as always Cory so neat and tidy 😎👏🇮🇪

Excellent intro to the product. Seems a little more convoluted than SE to fit, but nice that it all runs off one app and the customer can tune the battery behaviour. Bit longer than normal, but lots of wisdom in it. Recommend you keep the nail gun in a locked case to stop the little ones playing with it.

For the average domestic customer I'm sure the libbi will find a market (albeit its going to be huge over the next few years!), but lets be honest Victron Energy are already way way ahead, at a similar price point, but you get a much more resilient profesional marine / industrial base product, with worldwide community support in the unlikely event that you need it.

Wicked job Cory on your first Install of the My Energi Libby and l really like SPIT GUN a Game changer From plug-in and screwing & it would be Great if Milwaukee would Bring one out smaller Version ⚡️👊

Hello Cory conjugate on getting married I hope you and you wife are happy and you did a very good job love you work keep it up

Hey I’m just curious, isn’t rain/water an issue with the battery being so close to the ground. What happens if water pools up at the batteries?

Hahaha theres a Fisher man's joke about seagull: pluck and cook for 6 hours then bin it and cook chicken instead. Apparently they taste like seaweed and mud and the meat so tough that cant even be cut with a grinder.

Hi Cory! What is the maximum power per string Libbi will take? I have 12 500 w panels on one array & 6 500 w on another array? Will the 5kw Libbi work for me? Rgds mg.

Could I ask why you needed a supply that wasn't RCD protected, as I am unfamiliar with Givenergy products? Thanks

Nice 1 Cory, good video. where is the zappi?? The Spit gun (sounds dodgy 😂) is a great piece of kit, gonna.get me one of those!! What hoover do you have?

That was awesome mate ❤

I watched the full video to see how you sealed the hole in the wall for the cable from solar - just to find out that was not shown :D Nice work, btw, I would be proud of myself if I was able to do something like this.

Why not use a double pole MCB and 16mm tri rated cable to link load side of main switch to the MCB ? Love your videos.

Hi I am an apprentice just wondering why the EV Ultra circuit had no rcd protection even though the cable looks like it runs through the fabric of the building less than 50mm just curious cheers

Hi Cory, re having batteries outside, we are narrowboat owners and when considering placement of LiFePO4 batteries on a boat it’s stated that they have to be inside the boat and not in the colder engine bay. Not supposed to charge them at less than zero degrees. So……. How come they can be outside? Or even (as ours) in a garage by the doors. Thanks .

Oh Wow . Cory ,your in Dorset !! Welcome . Just watch out if you go to Wareham as because of interbreeding they have 11 fingers . rgds Don

Hi Corey, i like your channel. I like your work pants. Would you mind telling me what brand they are? I am in the US.

IP rated and the inverter is in the unit? Sold, I'll take 4. As long as I can control it with something sensible home automation wise - if it's a dumb brick that requires a phone app they can keep it :) No srsly though it's so obviously what is needed it's kinda mind boggling that it's taken so long to get something like that on the market. Those of us who don't have a garage and our CU is in a downstairs toilet need the battery outside, and really we need the inverter outside too AND we need it not to look like a bowl of spaghetti.

Agree just installed battery storage under a stair weren't happy about it . Company didn't make client aware

Who else stopped watching Artisan when Cory left 😂😂

@Corymac and chance of doing a video about TT earthing and if there are any benefits to getting a really low earth on a TT, the problem in different soil type, problem with seasons and earth and different products used for earth and please reference Timmy 😂

Great job, I always call myself an engineer not an electrician, sounds better

Well buddy another top video as all ways very pleased for you Cory all of your work is of the highest quality. Woody

I'm having a mindful moment, open both doors instead of tilting. 😂

Not a bad looking system TBH, nice install too, and you lot had way to much fun with the new toy, oh I mean nail gun. love the mix of work and humour. keep up to great content mate. :)

I've fitted the Rayleigh components 10kw battery and inverter and apart from the casing colour and branding almost identical... feel ya pain learning on the job!! Great install mate

Very impressive, to say it's the first one you've ever installed you didn't stress you done a great job. 👌

Anyone else thinking that would have been a lot easier if he moved the ladder! 😂

I saw they are installed outside without any shield , what's the protection rate ?

As the home owner was happy for you to drill holes into their brickwork, you might consider adding a couple of M10 DeWalt Snake anchors into the wall to allow you fix your ladder safely. I've got them all the way around my own home, and use them with a couple of Petzl Coeur hangers, bolts and a ratchet strap.

Nice system however, but much like every other system barring the Tesla Powerwall - it doesn't have an ATS gateway (automatic transfer switch)....so you can't have backup power for the whole house.

Good stuff. I feel batteries should be made safe enough to store in the home, but should still be kept in a weather proof and fire resistant container next to the house. Can put some extra solar panels on the storage structure.

Darn it, tried to be the first like 🤣 4 people beat me to it!! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Did you ever get it to work properly as I installed a Libbi and after a few days it decided it would only allow 200W discharge from batteries even though almost full charged would not discharge,

Another great vid! Wheres the next road trip going to be?? I hear there is a new car on the radar 😉

I am slightly disappointed that these new batteries appear to be rebadged versions of a Chinese battery..? I paid more for my Solar + Battery install to avoid using Chinese products wherever possible,, but I understand that not everyone can afford to do so.

Such a wise young man, sick video corey!

Massive day for you, Cory - can't see that you would have left there until maybe 10pm (nearly 9pm when showing the app at the end)...and then the drive home. Stay safe!

this system makes me so excited to move from CA back to Ireland, yes there is things we do better but your Solar PV systems are unreal!

Awesome stuff Cory! Nice to see the use of LiFePo4 batteries. Well done on being first to install! Cheers

Will these work with High Voltage inverters like SolarEdge?

That is a generic Inverter battery as Rayleigh Instruments sell the same as the Libby they are 100% the same apart from the outer case and name.

That was really informative and entertaining too. Thanks😊

You need a cable stapler

🎉🎉🎉

Tesla is still the leader due to the ability to keep the house running during a power cut. Something the myenergi system lacks

I installed my Solis inverter and PureDrive battery on the outside of my house for that very reason. It did struggle during the cold snap we had in December, so I modified a small garden toolshed to fit over them to keep the worst of the weather off and been fine since :)

Cory well done great content your milwaukee multimeter which one is it im liking that 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Pro job

Awesome video dude 😎

This is the future

where do you stand on battery placement? inside? outside? in the garage? how risilient are they? will they last the lifetime of the rest of the system if they are left outside like my tumble drier? thanks ps, you mentioned the day rate, but there's no guarantee of the quality of the work so...

Good guy do bower

Does anyone know where Cory got them workwear trousers/DUNGAREES. They look like a good purchase. thanks

one thing i would say i get propper workers boot covers, you can easily remove as they are fabric.....reason being you left your temp ones on and basically treaded fiberglass into there carpets... but great content, this isn't a troll just a heads up. That TRANSPORTER will soon come 🚙

Just a pity for a 20kw set-up you need the 4 batteries + the inverter, instead of a couple of 10kw batteries like the Tesla powerwall,hopefully once established they'll bring out a single larger battery 🙏 Integration though with the other myenergi products is it's USP 👌

MyEnergi have a killer product here. Their biggest strength is the full on integrated ecosystem where every equipment talks seamlessly and it is easy to add new equipments without difficult configuration steps or problems. I really like the route this company is going and how they take every step carefully instead of announcing a lot of products in their ecosystem at once. They have the Zappi and the Eddi, what they are know for, after it turned into a grown, reliable and trustworthy product they announced and released the Libbi. They have all the conditions, with this current heading, to be a very powerful world wide player in a long term.

Allowing your wristwatch to tell you to... Show time you bastard. That's it's purpose on this planet. It's up to the person looking at the time to decide what to do with that info. Who on the hell decided it's a good idea to let the watch have an opinion about anything?

Cringing as you spent so much time working UNDER A LADDER

batt tree!?!

Just love my energi products superb

Hey love your videos. Keep them up. Quick question. Do milwaukee do a stud/ cable finder. Or what one you use or recommend? Thanks. Mayo for Sam

Nice install. Please don't worry about fire/explosion or such things with LFP batteries. They are save. Many YT channels did these tests, as also the manufacturer states this. The only thing to worry about are fumes when a battery cell is punctured or overheated. The BMS will take care off overheating, but I agree with you: better save then sorry. Some thoughts: The plan putting them outside, is in my opinion not the best. They just perform the best in a normal house climate. Absolute minimums: Charging >0 C Discharging > -20 C But better between 10 and 20. Manufacturers like the Tesla Wall do have heating/coolant, like in their cars. But, that brand (for building quality) is a Rolls Royce, other brands have to prove themselves, if they even thought about it, other then putting a simple peltier element or only a heatplate in the box. So, temperature is a huge 'thing', also the power it consumes.

How would you compare it to GivEnergy battery and customer service?

Ya gotta love the fact you're not supposed to run data/LV in the same trunking/conduit as high voltage live cables.....yet it's fine to have it actually inside the same cable as with an EV ultra.

Cory, I’d scrap the transporter idea 😂 they are expensive lol. Get a transit custom 2.2 L . Not the 2L because there sh*t

if AC coupled, assume you can use a Harvi for convenient wireless CT?

LiFePO4, is just called Lithium Iron Phosphate, the O4 is part of the phosphate, the 4 doesn't need to be said, silent almost if you wish.

Instead of SDS try a core drill with a 300mm long core bit. Less chance of a breakout when drilling from inside.

Well if was a guy, would it really be cheating??? 🤣😂 That is a chunky battery pack, great video 2x.👍

@17:44 i feel compelled to mention, that u had that six-pack-plan in that green gym in germany... ur upper arms look soopa powerful already...

Terrific video Cory,really interesting,great work from you both pro install,Jordon is probably crying 😢,while Lee and John are laughing.Look forward to your next vid mate.

Great video! Nice to see it installed! What nails did you use in the spit gun for the conduit clips? 22/27/32mm?

who pointed that brickwork!?

First

You know apple tags have a battery life right, hope you can rip them out to replace the cr2032s in a couple of years!

I got some of the ArcBoxes, they make perfect sense to fit. I struggled to get some but the guys from Viridian in the Netherlands help me out

Moobs points of contact 😂if Jack Whitehall was an electrician

Costumer lets you shoot nail gun in garden and brings you cookies and pizza, but you are afraid to ask for something to use as dust sheet ;-)

All those the delays Jordan was packing the sads about must have been Cory just dictating when his install would be

A lovely looking system but is adding the panels the wiring the batteries in theory to every house a green solution?. I don’t get it.

Get yourself a decent set of ladders, there have been too many lads falling off ladders and end up in a wheelchair. Nice installation skills.

Hey Cory what are the overalls your wearing?. also nice job as always you take real pride in your work.

@43:35 why not pop up the wholesalers and get a Hager neutral busbar with flexi tail kit? Plenty of room to clip it in with the other neutral bars and the added benefit of the RCD neutrals being able to be mounted to it too.

Inverter’s a little lighter than those 15k Quattro’s! 😂 I want one of those nail guns!

Hey cory great vid out of curiosity how did you sort the neutral bar issue i am assuming you used a small bus bar link for the live but wasnt sure on the neutral 🤔 video was worth the wait 👍

Not bad not bad if I do say so myself! Any chance of a cost breakdown on what the kit would cost and the labour?
