Portable Power for Grunts 

I looked at a LiFePO4 rugged battery, they seem cool, but they look about 4x the size of the Dark Energy?

@@DamienNeverwinter 2nd time my reply didnt post. Here we go again.. You can get 18650 or larger 21700 Lifepo4 batteries and a DIY power bank box kit, just make sure the kits are good for LifePo4/LiIon batteies. You just have to figure the voltage output you want and how many batteries you want in the kit for the size kit your trying for. They sell them at battery or electronic stores. (an cheap example would be getting 2x - 1000mha to 9900mha LifePo4 18650 batteries, and an something like an XTAR PB no capacity power bank. And still be below $30. Best part those 18650 LifePo4 batteries is thats whats in most tactical flashlights.)

Forgot to add, my friend has a LifePo4 batteries kit he travels with. Its the EXP48Pro. Its 153.6 WH, which makes it TSA compliant (160WH max allowed), it outputs 12.8 Amp Hours (Ah) @12V or 48,000 MilliAmp Hours (mAh), its solar panel ready, has 3 usb and 12v cigarette plug, has a 5yr warranty, and a 5000+ charge cycle, IP65, and is only 6"Lx8.2"Dx1.6"H. And comes in around $370. (and if you look up standard LiIon batteries, they are getting more like 150-300 cycles in the real world while most LifePo4 are exceeding 5000 cycles).

I got a nice 60 watt collapsible panel for like 70 bucks. 👍

My thoughts exactly.

Yes go train

Hey man, if I could afford those classes I plan to. But, I do my own. Just like to get some “official” from an outfit nearby. Classes ain’t cheap though. Just saying you’re getting on it YT wise. I respect it
