Upgrading my Off-Grid Power System at the Beach House - Ecoflow 5kw Power Kit 

Shout out to EcoFlow. It’s always good to see cool companies supporting great channels.

Please make your videos 60 mins long….I can’t get enough. Your videos are an inspiration. No intros, not stage, just simple and original content. Love it!!! Thanks for sharing.

How is it your 24 hour day is so much longer than ours? You get so much done, looking after 3 properties some distance apart, fixing roads, turning trees into planks and firewood, fixing machinery, helping to fix other people's machinery, go out boating and fishing, explore, maintain a relationship with your family, and still have time to go away for a weeks holiday from time to time, and the only time I see you in a rush is when you speed up the camera footage.

It's nice getting a little help after you've been helping so many others. I hope this new equipment lasts and works well for you for many years to come.

Well deserved sponsorship, Marty is a class act!

Marty mate.......you are the smartest husband i have ever seen! Distract n comfort her a bit with household improvements............. N get the week later some heavy stuff for yourself......... Smarty Marty! ✌️😁

Mrs T's paintings are excellent and was shocked watching her time lapses. Thank her for that.

Glad you're starting to receive some modern kit now. You deserve it. Happy New Year to your entire family.

Greetings from Canada. Nice to see some warm weather we had 96 hours of 60km winds and a air temp of -17C.

Good man Marty. You have bought smiles to your wife.

It's about time that the off grid power company advertisers figured out that you were living with off grid power before RU-vid was created in 2005. They must be thrilled with the quality of your presentations of their products.

Haha, the kids reaction when the big kid says "My Turn" Pure Gold!!!

I think your the best calm, collected and down to earth teacher on youtube. The deduction reasoning approach to every project is second to none. Thank you and your family for sharing.

Oh, by far the best bit was the kids racing their cars. Worth it just for that. Thanks Marty.

Man I’ve been watching your channel for years and I still love every second of your videos keep up the great work Marty

Great and informative video as always Marty. With regard to the battery box, any battery can go faulty and the fire risk is real, chances of putting them out once in thermal runaway is slim. I would suggest a battery box away from the house completely, if the worst ever happens it can burn itself out safely 👍

When making concrete pads, or battery bunkers etc you should look at using plastic fibre reinforcement. One version is called emesh. It will span well so good for a vented fire box for your batteries. And the mesh comes in a bag so are very easy to transport.

Marty - Wife happy, kids happy makes dad very happy! Thanks to the comapny that sent it. Glad to see the old slot cars and that they still amuze the kids, at least for a few minutes….haha

Solar is improving so much and getting really consumer friendly. I'd love to do something in Minnesota, but it would take me 15 years to break even on a battery system, and a grid tied system is pretty much a non starter with our utility company up here. Thanks for the video!

Used to have a lot of batteries to charge. Roof of the charger box held up a whole lot of sand which would then cover the batteries when they’d burned through roof.

Ecoflow is the Apple of power. They use their own proprietary connectors, they are way more expensive than building your own system, and they bundle everything together so if one component fails you have to replace everything. The tradeoff is they make everything simple.

Looks like a nice tight system, easy for a non technical person to hookup

Kids having fun in the beach-house with ecoflow-powered device plus future fish staying fresh instead of becoming a health risk within hours: priceless. Plus as a bonus, often underrated, the content Missus. . Thanks for sharing and all the best for a healthy and happy 2023! . A word to the advertising: Good to see some of the corporate support usually going to the louder, flashy- or T&A-content creators finding its way to more credible channels actually worth that support. I hope emphasizing the improvement it undoubtedly actually was isn't the only thing You agreed upon - I recently saw another of the credible ones using free ecoflow equipment particularly stating that he was actually demanding payment by the ecoflow people for them using his half a million very tech-affine followers as a target group .... and how he agreed on using their stuff on camera first and foremost because it basically was a more professional, more mobile version of what he already had built on a shoestring from stuff off junkyards and gumboot-bargains himself shortly before - no emphasizing, none of the usual "advertising" seen so annoyingly often by "influencers", just a plain showing what the ecoflow stuff can do when used heavily in comparison to his own build. Which was impressive, to say the least. Absolutely best advertising ecoflow could possibly have bought .... I am actually considering a compact mobile ecoflow system for RV-ing and yachting, I forwarded that other RU-vidr's vid to more than one person being in need of serious power for machinery and creature comforts in off grid situations, (did forward Your washing-machine turbine series to various people too over the years, just saying) and now I am being even more drawn to ecoflow products/systems by Marty Angryram T. getting and using their stuff.

Dear Marty T. 👍👌👏 Of course it's a great and very informative video again and as always. But the best part is definitely shown in the last minutes or even seconds: 1) Happy wife, happy life! 😁 ;-) 2) Kids havin' fun! 🙌🙌 Congrats again for having all those skills and especially for having such a great family. And, last but not least, for living in such a fantastic/wonderful environment. With 3 great properties to live on, you have created your own little world/paradise. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

Much of what you talked about I have no concept of beingvelectrical but Oh how Is like to be able to do what you've done. Well done you are a genius.

Nice video, cant wait to see the battery bunker. Hopefully all the roads a safe to pass again from the Epic rainfall…

First time I've ever seen your wife on the video and actually get to see her... your a very lucky guy. She's gorgeous. And no I'm not trying to be some sicko. I'm being serious.hope everyone is doing very good. Much love from West Virginia 👍👍👍

That's a great looking Inverter + batt management system.... Have a great holiday.

Thanks for demonstrating the Eco Flow Inverter and distribution board (containing fused AC DC outputs for accessories and circuit breakers) with its various charging capabilities, examples such as; * DC solar panels * DC wind turbine * Generator * AC mains power supply and power storage, In this example a Lithium ion battery. 🌏🇭🇲

You never cease to amaze me Marty,well done.👍👍

The kids squeal of delight put a smile on my face, fast track! “HAPPY NEW YEAR” and thanks for sharing your adventures and expertise. Always entertaining and I learn something with every episode. ☮️

A USEFUL promo for anyone off-grid or considering it.

There’s a new man emerging out of Marty T tractor collector, mechanic, bower bird and family man. Marty T realestate magnate

What a great system. Tech is moving quickly on solar systems.

Great off- grid solution. I feel like EcoFlow is the only " RU-vid- ad" that isnt a scam or online game but actually usable :)

You probably already know this, but you have to smother lithium battery fires, water will make it worse. A good idea for a fire protection system for the lithium battery would be to place a bag(s) (plastic) of sand above the battery. So that that if there is a fire the plastic bag will melt, releasing the sand smother the fire.

Great system. I could see harvesting the heat from the fans for the house. (At least where I live, where it’s colder…..)

Looks like a good system in there.

All we need is for ecoflow to make a version of your washing machine hyro turbine and you're SET. Charge them a name licensing fee, of course. The RamBroEcoFloHydro

Nice and very useful system. I don't think many people realize that they can generate the majority of the power they need from solar right now. We may not be able to eliminate the need for grid power but we can reduce our use dramatically.

Very impressed with the Eco Flow system. I can see some serious applications for our property on Fraser Island. Thanks for the great informative video. Will be making inquiries. Have a great new year and keep the videos coming.

You guys are living the best life. Work hard and reap the rewards. Good on you.

Good of Ecoflow to help out, it's surprising how much a simple thing like having off grid power, can give so much joy. From boiling a kettle to playing racing car game with the kids. Not sure though if the second thing was for you or the kids though. 🤗

Best EcoFlow ad bar none.

Thanks Marty , I can't help but smile when I imagine the look on ecoflows face when you mention "incase the battery catches fire " and the PLC mod . Good on you for your honest as always review ,

Man of many talents Marty, I bet you have to be though living where you do!

Wow can’t wait to be out there without worrying about charging phones -washing etc and boiling the jug yee hah what a great system and a great demonstration Marty of how to set it up and promote Ecoglows fantastic uses Just would’ve loved some shots of the garden though

Well done to ecoflow for supporting the ever humble Marty T, everyone's favourite kiwi. Keep up the good work mate

If you haven't already seen it, watch Matthias Wandels video on these systems and the potential issues with power tools. Not an issue for most but worth remembering.

I like your new setup. Interesting information about it. Thank you for sharing see you next time.

Your a man of many skills . Total respect to you mate . Excellent channel . Keep going marty. . A pleasure to view . . Happy new year to all the family . . From GB . .

Is this your third house now? Right on Marty!

Had wondered about the 🐜 issue, and you answered just shortly after I thought of the question 😀

Good work, Marty!

Talented guy Marty. Really enjoy your videos

Iron phosphate cells are massively safer than cobalt oxide and others. They’re bombproof. We used to abuse the hell out of them in F1 KERS (>300C discharge rates) and they lasted superbly. Looks a great setup. You can also run Iron phosphates to 100% with much reduced ageing worries so you don’t need to kick in the hot water dump as low as 80%.

Interesting to see this Home kit in action. I wasn't sure if it was vapourware of not! I've got a few uses for something like that myself.

Marty, this is an example of when advertising is on point. Totally relevant and applicable to your context. I like that you actually installed it and showed it all up and running. Most on YT stand for a few minutes waving some irrelevant product on the screen. 👍😎

Mate, that gear looks the business!!!! Much sexier than your old off grid system

The best thing about that Power Kit is that it is fully customizable and a real plug and play system. Which makes it easy to install and use.

What I like best about those batteries is that they are stackable and would actually save me a lot of precious space at home.

The look on the kids faces when you said 'My Turn'. 🤣. Classic.

You should talk to Ecoflow and see if they can do a firmware update so that the system will auto dump to the hotwater tank when battery is full.

The fridge was cooking the food .... classic!

You have shown your appreciation for Ecoflow with a very intelligent review of the product and how to install it. You are a very considerate person.

The wife will love this upgrade.

Loved the race track at the end.

Very keen to see the plc hot water setup! Look awesome.

What a hook up from Ecoflow!

Slot cars , they never get old !!!

Very interesting video! On the other hand I like all you videos! It's fantastic to see you have the summer vver there when we have winter in Sweden. Cheers!

I like the way you have thought about making a battery 'bunker'. Hope you had a good Christmas. When the wife can make toast and then vacuum up the crumbs, it make life better !

Thanks for the info and Happy Christmas to you and yours 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Regards to all. Stay safe.

It’s nice to see Mrs. T getting more comfortable with being in your videos. 🙂

I hope your channel is doing well I enjoy it very much. I didn’t know much about New Zealand but watching your videos it looks beautiful and a place to visit someday.

Ecoflow stuff us amazing, its like they really thought what people really need off grid. And i really like that beach house. Happy New Year

Here's wishing you and you're family a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Awesome work as always, one of the channels I’ve got notifs on for cheers Marty

Congrats Marty T on building the container for ur off-grid power system.. looks cool.. happy holidays..

thanks for sharing your life with us.

Happy New Year Marty to you and the Family.

Oh well , another storm , keep safe

Fantastic! Seems pretty straightforward. Thanks for sharing this with us all. Have yourself a happy new year.

well done sir Marty all the best to you and family

🤠 Happy new Year to you all Marty - Tim UK

Very nice upgrade for your power needs, I love the views you give from the drone shots and how you get so much work done! Great video and Happy New Year!!

Nice that you’ve been able to install this system. Good idea thinking ahead as well.

Great job Marty and the "missus" happy too, a win win!

Working at the fun house smartly 😂🌊😎🌞

You are always so informative and right to the point. i will for sure be looking into this system

LFP or Lifepo4 batteries aren’t anywhere near as likely to combust as Lithium ion batteries. Your precautions may be overkill. Envious of your bach. 👌

That Ecoflow stuff is legitimately good stuff. Bit Pricey but damn good stuff. They make it easy for a noob to build a solid system.

I bet i'm one of the few who knows what a 'Trawler', is Mart. LoL. Ie, 'batteries from a trawler," LoL. My older brother operated a couple of trawlers off Westport for years. Bob. MoT.

That is a beautiful place.

Lovely clean looking system, looks very simple to use as well.

that is a smart bit of kit well done to eco flow happy new year to you all

Very clean installation nice job

The new kit brought a nice improvement, very nice Ecoflow!

Brilliant, best wishes to you all from us in S Devon.
