No worries mate

I would recommend using a pure sign wave inverter if you are using sensitive electronics. This can inverter is a modified sign inverter and is not recommended for sensitive electronics. Thanks for watching

Glad you liked it mate 🤙🏻 hope you get some sun on your block this wknd

Thanks mate. Put one in the claimant’s now 👍

They are Good value for money

Yeah give it a go mate. It should start preforming better as the days start getting longer

Hey bro. I think from memory it’s 20amp so I could run plenty if lights 😝

Yeah nice mate. I have seen that kickass pack. Looks decent

Hi there. Sand is not the best conductor of heat so I takes longer to transfer the heat to the outside metal.

Thanks bro 🤙🏻

Thanks bro. 😎 🤙🏻

@@Techboxreview To be really honest, I'd love to see a video on how to charge and run bunnings/ebay garden solar lights from a solar panel and 12V battery. There is nothing out there.

Hi mate. Mine did harden completely. It did take around 48hours

@@Techboxreview I actually used a bottle of part A resin and Part B of Billins resin 1:1 ratio. Do you reckon it will harden even though they're different brands?

@murphchris5670 not 100% sure mate. I don’t know a lot about resins. How long has it been since you mixed the resin

@@Techboxreview earlier tonight. I'll check in a few days.

@murphchris5670 let me know how it turns out mate

Thanks Brother. And thanks for your support 🤙🏻

Hi mate. That’s good. I thinks kings does sell the adapter I’m not 100% sure but it would be worth asking. I still think the pack will only accept 60watts through that port.

I believe I used a 20amp one In the video.

@@Techboxreview Thanks for the reply. 👍

Hey bud I think so too. The magnet is strong as, You got a good deal for $80. Do the orange lights work with not attracting bugs

Why not 😜🤙🏻

It’s awesome bro. The best feeling 🤙🏻 hope you are doing well and keeping Dry

I am glad that this has helped 🙂

Thanks bud. Hope your doing well

@@Techboxreview just got back from a weekend trip with the solar Chuck wagon. Posted a video over on Two Old people On A Couch. Enjoy all your tricks you got.

@grumpygrandpapatriotshow8118 Nice one mate. It’s good to get away every now and then. I might head over and check out the video

Depending what your needs are. I actually have a sensor light hocked up to my 400ha solar system. I just got myself a 12volt motion sensor and hooked it up to 2 x 12 volt lights. That one has been working great for 4 years. I agree the smaller solar lights only have 1-2 years in them at best

@@Techboxreview Whenever you're stumped with a video explainer video, your motion sensor solar twin lights would be great to see. Because you actually saved me from buying a 24ah portable kings battery and choosing to save for a kings 60ah.

@aussieallrounder6018 your welcome bro I’m glad I have helped. I have been eyeing off those 60ah batteries myself 😁I may just do a quick video on those lights one day.

I’m afraid not without tearing it apart. It would be nice if you could though. It’s a good unit otherwise

Hi mate. Yeah the controller was set on lifepo4. I have used this method of charging now for a good 6 times or more without any problems so far

How bigs your solar panel bro

I'll upload that vid today will come out tonight the new panel 550watts

Sweet bro sounds sood

Hi mate. At Around 7mins in is the capacity test results. The result was 52.68ah from memory

This was a follow up video from another video where I was using a dc buck converter to run a 12volt kettle and other 12volt appliances. I received a comment saying I should have used a mppt charge controller instead of the buck converter. So I decided to try and find out if it would work. I would still recommend using a buck converter over the mppt. Thanks for watching

​@@TechboxreviewI use a cheap controller straight into my 12 volt fridge which has a lithium battery.

@simonpepper9721 hi mate. Is it a brass monkey fridge? I hear they are good fridge

@@Techboxreview No, its a Companion. Outlived it's 3 year warranty,going strong.

@simonpepper9721 nice bro 💪

Thanks for that tip mate. I do have some wd40 laying around. I actually wouldn’t mind getting a small wind turbine to have a play around with 🤓 maybe I will get one one day

@@Techboxreview yeh theyre kinda fun , But turbines need to be above surrounding trees and buildings or youl see almost no power, kinda like putting a solar panel in the shade or putting it in the sun. then theres the other hurdle finding a turbine that actually matches advertised specs , so much deception out there. turbines make little power by that i mean compared to solar panels theres no comparison. ive got heaps of em, even built my own . if youve got winds above say 20kms youll do well. i used a lighting tower wind up mast with outriggers and guy wires and i snuck the turbine up high at night, i painted it so it was hard to see at night , and wind it down before sunrise, it was only good in windy conditions which are rare for me in my wheatbelt town.

I use xt60 connections because I have an array of other items I have set up with xt60 connections. It just works for me. Anderson plugs would work fine also 🤙🏻

@@Techboxreview Cheers mate. I'll look into them

No worries mate. Keep in mind XT60 connections are rated to 30amps

No links sorry. It’s just something I put together. I will have to make a video on the complete setup one day 😝🤙🏻

@@Techboxreview I just found it!!

@@Techboxreview And just found the longer video!! haha

@aussieallrounder6018 nice

Yeah John knows his stuff that’s for sure

Hi mate. I made those plugs myself. The connectors I use are called xt60 connectors

Thanks for that mate

Great idea mate. I like it 👍 getting a couple extra days is amazing

Good question mate 🤔

You probably can, the question would be the longevity of the BMS's

Thanks for watching brother 🤙🏻

Thanks bro. Year u can’t beat ryobi tools. Great value for money 🤓🤙🏻

Highly rate ryobi use a lot of there gear at work aswell

Hey brother. The systems are in different areas so for me it’s just I add a small system for the shed to run a small tv/ fans ect and that 400ah solarking one under the patio to run my aquaponics and charge powertools and other small stuff. I do acually have a 24volt system that I havnt shown yet that runs a small fridge/ clothes washer and air pumps for my koi pond. That’s system is large enough to run cooking appliances such as kettles and induction cookers. I think for me I just enjoy doing things so it just keeps growing and expanding over time 😜🤙🏻 hope you are keeping dry over your way

I may actually build a big 48v system one day though 😜🤙🏻

I also should mention that I like multiple systems for redundancy. For example if my inverter stops working on one system I can still use the other system if needed while I wait for a replacement to arrive. I’m not left in the dark so to speak 😝🪫🔌

That's a really good point to have a back up system

Yeah bro I think so. You could have a large system for most of your needs and one small system that’s enough just to run a small fridge and charge phones/tools/radio. ect.

That’s no good mate 😅 yeah mine are still going. But they are struggling to get a decent amount of sunlight atm because of all the rain.

Not 100% sure yet mate. But it will most likely be 12volt. I might pair it up with my GoKWH 100ah battery

I've got a 75/10. It can be set for 12 or 24v

10amp at 24v = 240watts of solar. Pretty impressive I reckon. Thanks for watching mate

@@Techboxreview I've had mine about a year it works great. I've connected mine to an old raspberry pi running the free venus OS so I can see the status when I'm not home.

@chrisreynolds6331 that’s an awesome idea mate 🙌 i should learn about raspberry Pi and do some coding. I have recently got some Meshtastic devices that I have been playing around with

That’s good to know. I will make sure I keep my receipt if buying any more batteries. Hope it’s not too wet over your side of the country 😝🍻

😜 you wasn’t too far off mate

Hi mate It’s not recommended to run an inverter on the output side of that controller. You will be better off running your inverter from a battery

Hi mate. I have charger power banks with small usb solar panels. I think it should be fine

@@Techboxreview Thanks mate.

I’m not 100% sure on that one mate. The safer bet is to get yourself a dc to dc charger
