    The price of it?

    Nice build. My only concern is the rating of the fuse and breaker you used. At 300amps, the 2AWG cable will melt before they trip. The fuse and breakers should be sized accordingly to protect the cables from overheating.

    • @laruehvac7502
      @laruehvac7502 Před 4 hodinami

      This was my same concern 3000w/12v=250amp, will definitely melt before popping that 300amp breaker

    I like how you took apart the inverter and made it usable on the outside. I haven’t seen anybody do that yet.

    For the diyers. I was able to use the ridged box that goes on top of this bottom box. The #2 box.( see end of video) I was able to get 2-80ah batteries with a 5" gap in the middle. As i needed a 24vdc 80ah lifepo4 battery for a kayak motor.

  • @seadoogti9288
    @seadoogti9288 Před 7 měsíci

    Honest Question. The Solar generators seem to be a decent idea for a few days without power. I own 2 myself. BUT lets say there is an extended power down situation due to cyber, solar flare, EMP or whatever else. Perhaps 3-6 months or more. Would a person be better off, instead of havingone or two solar generators, having just some good 100w solar panels, voltage reulators and some small, car sized power invertors? Then he/she would have the ability to scavenge dozens of car batteries and charge them instead. If the grid is down people won't be driving after the first week due to gasoline shortages and batteries in cars, boats, mowers, tractors, motorcycles etc would be abundant. The ability to charge car batteries around the clock and even set up arrays of car batteries would be very adaptive to the situation. In other words how many car batteries would be equal to say a Jackery 1000 solar generator with a lithium battery? I would love to see a video on that.

  • @phillipcoplen8051
    @phillipcoplen8051 Před 8 měsíci

    I would add a gfci plug it’s a good safety feature

    • @anzzgar
      @anzzgar Před 7 měsíci

      That would not work since the box is not grounded, however since it’s not grounded you can’t get electrocuted as long as you don’t touch both wires

    very nice!

  • @seeit360
    @seeit360 Před 10 měsíci

    I love this build. Thanks for the parts list too. My adaption is a Pelican Case and the batteries are Milwaukee M18's in parallel. My thinking is off grid tool battery charging flexibility along with a dual purpose as a powerbank for jobsites. Storage Space is limited, always. I think your second box, if you decide to expand storage, should be power tool batteries.

  • @1gumbah
    @1gumbah Před 10 měsíci

    So now we call a battery a solar generator????? Lol

    • @harryniedecken5321
      @harryniedecken5321 Před 8 měsíci

      That is a common term for these. A conventional generator uses gasoline or diesel fuel and turns it into 120 vac. A solar generator turns sunlight into 120 vac. A newer terminology is Portable Power System.

    • @NiNjaTurtLe697
      @NiNjaTurtLe697 Před 7 měsíci

      Well i see but... it is a solar generator if you add the panel, which it is wired for

    Looks very clean. Do you have step by step video? I am looking to do project like that

  • @michaelpeckham647
    @michaelpeckham647 Před 11 měsíci

    Very nice! What batteries did you use? I did the same project and only fit 100ah due to battery size. Definitely want to see you build an expansion box, I’m thinking of the same!

  • @htoddgriffin4787
    @htoddgriffin4787 Před 11 měsíci

    Nice build. Very nicely documented. I just built one of similar capacity(410ah) over the winter, also in a Rigid toolbox, but mine is rectangular rather than almost square. Are you happy with the 20amp charger? I got the 60amp version because I couldn't see myself waiting 20hrs(worst case) for my battery to charge if I ever needed to charge via AC. I built two 320w solar suitcases to go along with a 160w panel mounted to my vehicles roof to keep things charged with 800w of potential production. Also, after seeing and never using the 12v barrel connectors on my various store bought power stations, last year I discovered their utility, and I put a bunch of 5121 connectors on my box to power my lights and fans and a DC powered TV. My car fridge runs off of another 12v circuit, so now I really don't use my inverter that much, so I don't have any fan noise or conversion loss. It works really well for camping, which was my intended use.

    • @Hunter-vg6iu
      @Hunter-vg6iu Před 11 měsíci

      Yes, the 20amp takes way to long to charge the battery from zero, the idea is to use Solar more than the AC-DC charger, I can use 800watts of Solar to charge the batteries in 4 to 5 hours. I do wanted to use a bigger AC to dc charger but I am ok with this 2nd slow charge option. 👍🏻 Thanks

    Not the highest quality of electronics but as long as it meets your needs without failure that's all that matters

    nice power station am building one but its water proof 3000 watts pure sine wave inverter 150Amp fused for inverter with 150Amp DC breaker for my battery with 2 110AC out put CGFI with 2 20Amp breaker for out let so my inverter is well protected and usb port water proof with 2 fan water proof pushing air in and sending air out cool the inverter with solar charger and 12 volt light with 12way fused block and used wire wich wire house with for wire my 110V AC out let and to hot wire my inverter with wire that used in house so if i out side in park raining my tool box is safe my inverter is 3000 watts pure sine wave 110V-120V 60Hz 30Amp rate at

    • @Hunter-vg6iu
      @Hunter-vg6iu Před rokem

      a 3000 watt system will require at least 250amp BMS battery 250ampX12volts=3000watts

    Total cost?

    perhaps you should have simply used a single 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery?

    Love the setup. How much did it cost. What is your total storage battery capacity?

    • @Hunter-vg6iu
      @Hunter-vg6iu Před rokem

      Total cost after swapping the charge controller came close to $1,300.00 with a total of 250AH or 3.2KW

    Where did you get the usb port's I'm interested in rebuilding and upgrading some of my jump boxes and eventually building a solar generator but so far I haven't found even a 2 port usb type C also those power lugs would be nice and what brand of inverter did you use
