2 minutes into the video already spitting out bad information let acid and AGM are not the same let acid batteries you do not want to discharge past 55% AGM batteries there are many AGM batteries on the market today that you could discharge up into the 80 to 88% off

Amazing video! Thank you!

Thank you

You can also refurbish a led battery

Try another test vs Lead carbon agm PbC, it would change the specs drastically. 100% D.O.D. possible @ 800 cycles, 50% 3200 cycles, my charge rate is 190A, no BMS, no heaters, no equalizers, -40c to 60c, sealed non spillable, 2-year storage, safe for indoor use, no risk of fire, heavy 170lbs not for mobile applications, maybe 2 at 6kwh and 340lbs. Claims of 3200 cycles may seem low but what is going to go wrong besides loosing capacity over the years, at least I know it won't burst into flames. In 2023 Massachusetts had 58 deaths from lithium battery fires *google. If any lithium battery goes thermal runaway, it is hard to extinguish, some companies put fire suppression systems in their lithium products and claim its safe, if it is so safe why does it have its own fire extinguisher?. In most cases the lithium cells are same as everyone else cells. Xterra in 3 sizes 12v100 12v250 and 6v 400 and good upgrade for any system old or new.

I have a disconnect tool that's too big for the MC4's. Are there different sizes?

Acid batteries don't last 5 years of daily use no matter how you pamper it

Just so happens I have a 400w setup. What a find. Great info! 😁💯

Bullshit ....

I grew up rural and my dad had a battery system he has batteries that are functioning well from 2009 its 2024. If you are burning them out after 7 years you are doing something wrong...

okay off topic here but Do you feel like 1 tide pod cleans the laundry? Me personally ill throw in 2 pods and a splash of some stain removing liquid detergent.

Can u use EcoFlow delta2 with the smart panel ?????????????

The thing is that we ”know” the capacity with led/acid. Lithium is today more or less numbers from the manifacturer. In theory they are way better but in real life you can be lucky or unlucky. And all those fires and deaths? How do we meassure them. A Lithium battery is a ticking bomb and people die like flies when mining, manufacturing and using them. I like them but has lately becoming a bit scared of them. Mostly because we have a HUGE battery factory in our town. The last year five unexplained deaths at the factory. They still investigate but they cant find an answer, at least not publically. If its not because of the content int the batteries its because of something we dont know. It could as much be the vaccines but as said, WE DONT KNOW!

A heated blanket would be a much better option.

Thats awesome educational vid thank you buddy. keep up the good work.

Oh man... I APPRECIATE YOU SOOOO MUCH BRO!!!!!! Thank you very much for this video! You did an excellent, EXCELLENT JOB breaking this stuff down for us beginners 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you!!

Great video for a beginner!

Hi, i really like the rich polycrystalline solar panel but unfortunately i heard they were discontinued, is there some way i can find these panels online ? Thank you. Oh, the mega 100w 12v panel

Yeah, but how long can it run the heater. In the winter thou need it to run all night.

Thank you so much! This is the only vlog that has simplified the set up enough to be understandable. Every other video I’ve watched has left me more confused 👍🏻

Do I do the same with 6 200 watt 12volt panels with the Delta pro....This is the set up I purchased from you recently Thanks

Remember LFP are rated 80% not full 200Ah , around 160Ah

Please clarify.. I’m confuse with buying rigid panels 12v vs 24v panels. If my current generator currently using a portable 24v panels.. should I only buy 24v rigid panels ?

I have ac200 max with portable pv200 panels which is a 24v. If i want to connect to rigid panels, do need to only use 24v panels as well ? I’m bit confuse with 12v bs 24v panels

Ok perfect but what if you want 2 panels in series 5 -10 feet from each other? If you use an mc4 there will be an open make and female. Do I need an adapter to connect the 2 panels together or just use an mc4 extension cable?

I've been running a used 200ah agm for 5 yrs now. Bought it 2 years after being pulled from back up power bank!

Yes and no. I had my brother-in-law cut the plug in part and use the wires to hook it into the circuit board and I have to unplug it from the panel directly. It’s not pretty, but it works. Good luck.🍀

whats the point of agm batteries larger capacity if you cant use it beyond 50%

I've been running a used 200ah agm for 5 yrs now. Bought it 2 years after being pulled from back up power bank!

What if the 2 solar panels you want to connect are further apart? Concerned that that that the 2 cables you plug together on the back of the panels don’t reach each other? thx David

Will I damage my Bluetti AC200P by connecting only (3) 100 watts panels?

That's why my Duracel AGM deep cycle batteries gone bad so quickly !! I didn't know I can't discharge them bellow 50%. I use it in my electric lawn mower. I ordered lifepo now, let's see.

The connectors? So many a few have the same number of pins

I've been searching for a kit like the ones y'all offer and out of the 3 companies I've been looking into I think I'm gonna go with this one.

Thank you, for this expliqué

Pls i jeed help in understanding Solar Batteries and inverters i have a lead acid battery of 100Ah once it hits 11V the inverter shuts off automatically so my question ❓ is if i buy a lifepo4 or lithium battery will the 12v inverter still shut down once the battery is at 11v or will the battery 🔋 keep powing my inverter even when it's below 12v which is the recommended voltage for 12v inverter to work ? Or will it keep powing my inverter till the battery completely dies off like low to zero just like how mobile phone batteries operate ?

Thank You, great video and excellent presentation.

The "compressor" turns off when you open the door then turns on when you close the door.

I'm wondering why nobody will reply to these comments statement made by 🎉Pendragon mystery School

Huh

200 ah batter lithium are under 500

This looks amazing. Couple of questions: I’m in Maine and it looks like this could replace the gas generator I plug in with a 30A. True? Here in the cold Maine winter, does this need to be kept at a certain temperature? Basically, I’m looking for cold weather pointers. What are the max voltage and current on the inputs? Apparently I need something like 9000w of solar panels to run my house so is there a way to bump up the input as 4000w seems like it won’t be enough. Forgive my ignorance if these questions are wrong headed! I generally don’t deal with zappy things!

I still don't know what is the type of cable to connect the solar panels to the battery (EcoFlow) :(

Thank you so much! This is how an instructional is supposed to be!

I have been off grid for four years, have done extensive research and everything you said is correct, the only thing to add is that the amount of cycles - Renogy's sealed AGM - 12 Volt 200 Ah only provides up to 500 cycles - that's not a lot. We found out the hard way - all sixteen of our batteries need replacing at $400 each (what we paid). They get heavy use in the summer months for obvious reasons, fall, winter, and spring light use. But honestly they started acting up last year, we noticed that 50% usage got down to more like 25%, now they are toast and we are looking at alternatives. We would have gone with Nickel Iron but they are expensive - would be a good video to show people the difference. I am pricing out server/rack type batteries - LifePo4, I am also pricing out the Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) - the manufacturer totes that they are the safest Lithium Ion chemistry available. No cobalt, risk of thermal runaway or fire. These seem to be a safer option for our insulated shed, still the price is a difficult pill to swallow. I like that the warranty is now 15 years on these with 80% depth of discharge and 10,000 cycles. Given our energy usage, we need at least 630 Ah to run a 1 ton AC at night and refrigerator, freezer and fans for 12 hours before solar kicks in. I needed to share something too, something manufacturers don't talk too much about - during the peak solar hours in the day, we assume that the batteries are charging while we use energy, however each of the AGM 12 Volt, 200 Ah would need up to 300 watts for 5 hours to properly charge - that means a whopping 4,800 solar array dedicated to keeping the batteries topped off. I could write more detail here but I think people get the idea - there's a lot of research and planning that needs to go into going off grid.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS "COMPANY"! As of 7/11/24 there are many red flags. I am out thousands of dollars and the scammer does not respond to emails or telephone calls. When I pretended to be someone else, using a different phone number, he responds because he thought I was someone ready to spend a lot of money. HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SELL YOU!
