Depends on what you're hooking up to it. If your lithium batteries allow 100amp, and you have 2 x then it's 2x 100amp, It's all up to you to work it out.

Rubbish. They do not work well camping in summer. The top gets Hot and will not keep food at the top cold. I had the cover on and did the sun test. It Failed oh so bad. If you want to use it in an air-conditioned home, it should be ok for a backup. I only use it as a load in videos now and try not to show the name. Next Time I will have to put a sign on it. World's worst camping fridge. Mind you, I think the King's drawer fridge already has the crown. That's just my opinion after testing the unit, anyway.

Yes, Bunnings needs to lift its game.

Yes, Like I say when I show a product, I am 100% honest. Always have been. This is an easy fix. It should be done during manufacturing process through. They are very light and power production is very good for a fold out panel. When you consider what they fold up to and how light they are. You think when they added the legs the designer would have said, wow these are light, how do we stop them from tipping over on a windy day.

Here is a simple workaround. czcams.com/video/-n81d4-R6Fw/video.html otherwise you need to use the ct, so the inverter knows you're on grid, and you can then program it properly not to feed past the ct. Or to feed power past the ct to grid. I am 230vac single phase 50Hz. I am off grid. But I have a main inverter I use as a pretend grid to show people how things work.

Ozito is on a par with Ryobi as far as quality goes is my guess

Fortunately for me, I only buy genuine batteries from the same shops I buy my tools from. They are just putting rubbish cheep cells in them and charge for a premium battery. News article "About 56,400 Ryobi rechargeable battery packs have been recalled due to reports that suggest they may overheat and possibly burst while on the charger, posing a risk of fires and a potential burn hazard for consumers." also read wgme.com/news/local/lithium-ion-batteries-house-fire-fryeburg-ryobi-home-depot-power-tools-laptops-cars-fryeburg

Yes, I always had Makita 240v power tools. Never let me down. I hope their range of 18v tools are built just as good.

For sure! My tools are all the 18v ones and I use mine a lot!

I chose Makita, as it is what the solar installer uses every day on and off the roof of people's homes. Installing on and off grid solar. I started replacing my Ryobi with them until I found out about this battery adaptor. Now I can use my Ryobi tools till they fall apart about 1.2years out of a Ryobi hammer drill. Already worn 2 of them out. 1 reciprocating saw and one jigsaw. And many Ryobi batteries as well. Enough is enough. They are just built for very light duty work about a home. Had Makita 240v tools most of my life. I hope the Makita battery power tools are just as well-made.

Makita is a good tool

I had to show it in full, my friend. You know, if I cut, and just showed me turning it on and cut to it's boiling stage, I would have got the trolls saying I rigged the demo. I get sick and tired of them trolls. So I just show the full uncut video on the parts that may give them cause to bang there keyboards

I think so, too! Waiting for some sun. Then I can give it a really good test. See how it performs.

Going to be testing it with the Victron charger controller then the portable power unit when we get some sunshine, Norm. The canvas is nicely stitched, and the leads are well and truly secured into the unit, as you can tell from the way I yanked on the cable.

Soon as the weather clears up, and we get some sunshine, I will do some testing on it. Yes, all canvas products eventually fall apart under the Australian sun.

Yes, Norm, it is looking like a very handy bit of kit. Would be good for a tradie for recharging his tools and as a backup power supply, and also for camping. Fits all three applications very well.

I am probably 20 years older than you, my friend. But a man needs to be comfortable and not worried about doing himself a painful injury to the boys every time he takes a crap.

@JustinCaseSolarPower you're the first person I've heard mention it and I'm sure we can be the only 2 blessed men in this world. By blessed I mean sense of humour. It sure ain't the other.

Well, for me, it was a problem. As a man and a CZcamsr, I had an obligation from a man's perspective to point this out to the Manufacturers of these products. I sent them both a link to this video. The Weisshorn was actually quite sharp. I could have done a very bad injury to my sense of humour indeed. The wife and I would have been extremely dissatisfied.

@JustinCaseSolarPower I've had enough run ins with zippers over my time. Any reduction in sharp bits near my tackle can only be a good thing. I've got the same 565 and find it a useful but of kit .

That's ok Jack. It is also a very affordable computer ups. And in case you missed it. This is a paid video promotion. I was paid to test the unit and give an honest review of the product. I happen to really like the unit and will be doing more testing on it. They are sending me the fold out solar panels that plug into the unit to test next. That will be very interesting. Testing solar gear and storage devices is what I do, Jack. I also test these things for People like you. That are on grid. These are very affordable right now at under $1000.00au. Tell me of another device that stores this much energy. Comes with a very nice 1800W pure sine wave 50hz inverter a solar battery charger and a 230 / 240v lithium battery charger for that price ? Due to it having a very good and extremely fast UPS function, as demonstrated at the start of the fridge test. This is indeed an extremely nice bit of kit that can function in standalone power and home UPS.

Yes indeed! We put it to the test, and it performed very well.

Watch the next video. I test it to its limit and endurance test it as well.

Just giving it a very good series of test now, mate.

The two I had tested great and are now happily working hard and producing power on the caravan. Jasin is very happy with the extra power. Time will tell though.

They only gave me the Australian link. I am sure it would be in Canada. You just need to find the right link. Msg them on the site, mate.

CA: tinyurl.com/yrb32c4a there you go mate. CA link now live. Just for you

Perfect! Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for reading.

Can't wait!

Go for it! They are working on a website for Australia. They already have a warehouse in Australia. All the AC backup power stations come with AU plugs 230v 240v 50Hz like I said in the previous video. Good links in that video as well. Worth checking it out. czcams.com/video/RM8NaiApH84/video.html

Here mate. AU: tinyurl.com/3vt6ku73

Thank you Rossco. Having fun with CASA right now. Just making sure my commercial drone pilot licence is in order before we head out, bush. Drone rego and accreditation is not hard to have. It's just a pain dealing with government departments. Much easier to break the law like thousands or other CZcamsrs do, until they catch you or something goes wrong.

Appreciate it! Just a quick test to show people how solar panels work in the different configurations.

I can show you what happens when you direct fault a solar panel. Never seen these low volt panels catch on fire. They simply stop producing if shorted. Maybe they failed to put in correct fusing on charge controller of battery side.

No problems at all with the unit. Works great. The timer lets us program it so it runs of sunshine. 90lt has always been enough for the 2 of us and our kids when they come home for a visit.

Thank you friend :)

He is going to send me updates and small videos as he travels around Australia. I cannot think of a better way to perform a long-term test on the solar panels.

These worked well. When it comes to solar on a van. If you park in the shade, a fixed panel may not be for you. Give it some thinking on how and where you're going to be parking up before spending $. That is the message I convey to all individuals.

Good stuff! Yes, Andy, they tested really well for flexible panels. Pointing right at the sun, I think they may have performed better. But how often do we set them up perfectly when we camp? They impressed me. For long term. I will be getting feedback and videos from my friend.

We shall see if they have improved over the years. Just waiting for some sunshine.

I think so, too! I have quite a bit of testing planned for them. Time will indeed tell, though.

Yes, it would get hot. I see a lot of new sailing / cruising Catamarans are sticking them on the cabin roof. Can get very warm inside a boat. Wonder how they cope with that. I observe individuals committing substantial sums of money, exceeding a million dollars, towards the construction of these vessels. These are a waterproof panel as well, so this would be the type if not brand they are cluing on.

Yes. Sigi and I spent quite a bit many years ago. Sent them all to the tip after about a year. But I got these new units sent to me. So we are going to give them a real good test at home and then take them on our next wild flower hunting trip. Then do another review after that. Then I think I will put them on my tin roof to keep a 12v battery charged up and look at them again in 12 months. By then I will know if they are any good. So far, I am very impressed with the build quality.

@@JustinCaseSolarPower If they will guarantee them for 5 years. Maybe I will think about it until that time no way in the world

That's ok Jack. I am not telling you to buy one. What I told you is my testing plan for the solar panel. Testing solar gear is what I do. What you do or don't buy is up to you and or your wife. I am keenly interested in determining whether they have made any advancements in material stability in regard to the intense heat and solar radiation generated by the sun, workmanship, and power generation.

On a side note, Jack. The new solar panels we just got for our home came with a 30-year warranty.

Just waiting for some sunshine. Then I will test them. Single and parallel and series configuration. This should give us a good overview on the panel's operational performance.

@@JustinCaseSolarPower Might try one of their foldable panels, as I usually park in the shade (as we do down under).

I have no idea what they are like, Andy. I don't even know what this is like yet. Still waiting on a sunny day to test them.

Very true! Nice, boring system that just works. Love it. Now I can finish the off grid power in the ute and the trailer. I want them both as boring as I can get them

In the main house meter box there should 2 x circuit breakers labelled HW. This means hot water. That is how it should be done. How yours is done well i am not sure as i have not seen it.
