In this video I start a 3KW - 200ah power supply in a rolling Milwaukee Packout case. It has a 70A DC output along with all the necessary USB charging ports and lights. This build is the first part of a complete Packout system that will have Milwaukee battery charging, tunes, and a full work light setup. I'm building this in preparation for my move off grid.

Been thinking of this idea for some timenow, and just came accross your video. AWESOME IDEA! everything I had in mind, but yet to do. Been planning on building a foamy camper for an E bike, and this will be my power supply. Thanks for the hard work being all done.

@travelinman482 11 месяцев назад

@i.b.lancer Maybe, you could install a thicker aluminum plate instead of the thinner one to give the wire connector more wiggle room. Bunched up wiring can cause more problems down a bumpy road. ⚠️🔥

@mueckenhoeffer 11 месяцев назад

Loving this one too! Hadn't thought of riv-nuts, but they surely do look neater than bolts. The custom instrument panel really makes it pop. I'm wanting to do a 200AH system with a 3KW inverter in the Ridgid wheeled box. Still figuring out the math on everything. Thanks for all the ideas.

@harryniedecken5321 7 месяцев назад

It's difficult to find batteries that can support more than 100 Amp output continuously. At 3 kW the dc voltage will sag a lot.

@i.b.lancer 4 месяца назад

I seriously doubt if I will be pushing more then 2 kw through this little system. The 3000 watt inverter is more for the headroom. It was perfect for the project so I bought it.

@bencerise984 Год назад

I thought it was a review on a factory solar generator then found out Milwaukee doesn’t make one lol. Very nice work, can’t wait to see your finish video! Very cool

@SuperVstech 11 месяцев назад

Oh, Milwaukee does indeed make one, it is $2500 and it doesn’t come with the $600 each batteries, and it takes 4 of them…

@ab-ym3bf 5 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed watching that. I have similar sized batteries from basengreen, hooentonfind a toolbox in which they fit. Milwaukee too expensive here in Europe. One remark though. In your description box you speak of a 200Ah system. But you have 2x 100ah 12v batteries connected as a 24v system. Meaning you have a 100ah 24v system.

Great job! I’m looking at having one built in to the next smaller PackOut with just the top handle. And having it built at the Festool SysPower bank spec. I think it’s 5000 watt but it’s extremely compact.

Nice power pack! I prefer the Milwaukee boxes over the RIDGID but the Milwaukee doesn’t fit in my truck bed with a tuneau cover

@evictioncarpentry2628 Год назад

People have made the handle removable so it fits in with a cover. It takes 5 minutes to do.

@daveonezero6258 9 месяцев назад

You have already answered this question. What is the total weight and cost of the build? Do you have the components already packaged to distribute? If been looking this diy project for the last month. You and one other person have the cleanest builds. Awesome job thank you in advance.

@greavous93 8 месяцев назад

I dont know what you decided to do with that alum. face plate but you asked... Id round the corners and chamfer all the edges or at least round off the edges so it doesnt have that 90° edge that says home made. I bought a rivnut rig because of you. Ive been wanting one for at least 40 years. Ive got some double walls on this Dewalt box im using. No sheetrock screws allowed.

@i.b.lancer 8 месяцев назад

I ended up just leaving the plate as is. Nobody’s said anything about it. They all think it looks great, so I’m happy about that. Careful, rivnuts can be addicting. Good luck with your build.

would love to get a link to the batteries you sourced … beautiful work!

@i.b.lancer Год назад

Unfortunately, the batteries I bought are only available in Canada. Here's the link. amzn.to/3Ov7NFX The closest thing on the American Amazon site I could find was this.... amzn.to/45m4eYD But as of this writing it was unavailable. Same goes with this one.. amzn.to/3BJZuyn They all have that common small size which works in the packout box. Pay close attention to the size of the batteries while you're searching in order to maximize the space in the box. I'm sure something will pop up for you. Good luck and thanks for watching.

@acuratltypes6694 Год назад

Been thinking about getting one of these boxes for my build. Would like to add 2 100ah lithium batteries in it. Standard size. But not sure if it will hold it.

@i.b.lancer Год назад

Be very careful when picking batteries for this box. Depending on the inverter you’re going to use, it will be very easy to buy batteries that are too large. Plan your build out carefully. Good luck.

@acuratltypes6694 Год назад

Yea that's where I'm running into the problem is making sure everything is going to fit. My 1st box fit an 115ah AGM battery group 31. And a renogy 1000w inverter inside and the box that went over is used for the Epever charge controller the BT unit and fuse block.

Sir,If the all in one inverter requires 48 volts DC, how are you getting 48 volts DC from 2each 12 volt batteries.?

Well, mines 2400Wh, 3000 watts, infinitely expandable. Took 4 months to build and cost twice as much as the unit your referencing. Plus mine has a ton more features then the Eco Flow. You can't really compare them. Thanks for watching.

@daveonezero6258 9 месяцев назад

Why a dc to dc? And not just a 12v inverter?

@i.b.lancer 9 месяцев назад

Dc to dc converter because it’s a 24v system and one of this box’s intended uses is 12v battery charging. There is an inverter. 24v inverter. Had you actually watched the video you would of known all this.
