It cost me 1700 for a 12v 300ah LiFeP04 rated at 200 amps, a 2000w inverter, a 60 amp MPPT charge controller, a 20 amp plug in LiFeP04 charger, and a few fuses, but I still need a lot more solar panels, parts, and a plan to safely wire everything up. This would be nice to have but my savings are gone now and I`m on a very low fixed income. When inflation hit my hopes of even finishing my system vanished. Just trying to get enough to eat now. Was hoping to save money on my future electric bills.
I hear you, our economy here in the US has never been worse, but stay strong and continue to do research. I have been watching this channel for a while and he really knows solar and brings a detailed but understandable way of understanding. Hopefully the economy will start to turn around soon but just hunker down the best you can, I know me and my family had to do the same. I have been putting what I can away, when I can, which certainly is much less the past couple years, but I'm getting close to getting a basic system and when I do I will be getting my advice and knowledge from this channel.
Even if you wire this up without solar, storing cheap electricity to be used during the expensive times will help a bit. Plus having power during an outage is a huge boon. Someone mentioned to me that when you get solar, default is inability to use them during an outage, so when you do get them, bring that up so that's less an issue
Much more useful than some of the portable units people use as get-out-of-jail-card in EVs. Not trying to say this is "portable". Curious whether it can indeed give an EV 5kW. For tricky trips, a nice thing to have in the trunk.
Your load it seems would be around 250w [of course dependant on tv model paired with an xbox series x]. Given that this is a 5kWh battery let's say your inverter has an efficiency of 85% [a slightly sub premium standard inverter]. With this inverter your power consumption of 287.5w. That spread across 4.8kwhrs [4.8 due to possible losses with the monitoring circuitry in the battery] would equal around 16hrs of a good time. Of course there are some variables with this but overall your looking at 14+ hrs!
@@davidpopowicz7689 Damn thanks bro !!! But the pricing is $1500 ... I'll probably just start small and buy a all in one invert with one battery and a solar panel less than $800
@@Sinnaclxn yeah and eventually if you build a lion or lithium iorn phosphate lack you could get more capacity with the existing system. Good luck and have fun!
Hi Jehu wassup there buddy, I have been looking to all your videos brother to find that 1 website you mentioned that helps to give cell placement according to its capacity, I seriously can't find that video bro, could you please help me with that website dear brother, love and warm regards from India
Kwh stands for a Kilowatt hour. Kilowatt being the measure of electrical power, and hour meaning that a Kwh would be a one kw load (or capacity) for 1hr.
@@davidpopowicz7689 it's not an acronym, it's a unit. Wh is the unit. The k is the multiplier... 10W for 10 hours is 1hWh.. Other multipliers are mega (M), giga (G), terra (T), peta (P). Multipliers below one is desi (d), centi (c), milli (m).. If you make videos pretending be knowledgeable with electricity/batteries on youtube, you should first learn the units...
@@MichaelEricMenk Thanks. I was going to be building out a battery bank but my 1kwh of untested batteries shipped in at .2v each. Although I got a pelican case with 2 working ones and an inverter running. But besides that thanks for the information.
