My back up solar power generator. Well everyone has there gas generators running I have power stored from the sun. And since I don't have to pay for fuel I might as well run my system every day.
Im am also making video reveiws on solar equipment including Charge Controllers, Inverters,Batteries, Balancers and much more. I am not off grid yet but I am working towards a solar system thathas little to no power limitations,like on grid. I hope you find my channel informative and fun. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more...

The wife has been on me to redo the bathroom. mainly the tub area. We removed all the old tile . There was a lot of leaks that needed attention. I figured it best to removed and replace everything. I also redone the plumbing with new faucets. This is how it all turned out. Also got to use some of my custom milled White Pine for the trim. Let me know in the comments below how I did.

DIY 12V to 120v Lithium Solar Generator Part 4 Final
Had one of these for about 25 years, easy to fix, parts are cheap and it’s reliable, an excellent investment for medium duty work, it should be on a 13 or 15 bar length as factory standard,
I agree. Good little saw. Was very cheap. Much better then a Stihl 170 or a Poulan. Cheers
very nice generator!
@@HomeGaragechannel not bad so far. Time will tell. Thanks for watching
not a bad little generator. Thanks buddy.
@@GoingOffGrid101 it's very quiet. Will do its rating of continuous. Cheers
I always worry about the oil 500ml is not much oil same as my genny but it works as long as it is level.
it is a very small engine. Seems ok to me. Cheers
Does this not have a BMS that monitors cell voltages? Just monitors temperatures?
It monitors voltage and temps. Thanks for watching
👍👍👍👍👍
great saw, I would like mine to cut as much, what modifications? carburetor 272?
@@Louislmr 50 mm topend with a popup piston. Some grinding and compression boost. Custom exhaust. Not too much really. I have a build video on it. Cheers
@frankz1125 Exactly I just saw it, on the other hand what is the carburetor? sorry I'm French I don't always understand in the video 😅
@Louislmr I used the stock carb for the 61. Seems ok.
You legendary for this. Come watch me do my 20x10 studio coming soon.
Good wood for fall and spring not as many btu's. The 026 is faster.
@@offgridwanabe they have a furnace too. Cheers
Sharp Saw... Like a hot knife through butter!!
Sounds like the high jet is a touch on the lean side to me
Chinese chains everywhere.

When the saw started shaking you just hit the throttle lol
@@karm00n29 it was pinned. Never broke a chain before. Thanks for watching
@@frankz1125 alright
👍 i have alot popular here too in Georgia
i reckon if i lived in a cold climate id be cutting wood in my dreams LOL. i havent ported much but what i did port had more staying power under load.
@@closertothetruth9209 this isn't a major port job. Pretty basic to let out more heat. Thanks for watching
@frankz1125 yeh i port similar, i just aim for a cleaner burn
Hi there
@@JonOffgrid Howdy
It would produce more torque so would avoid trying to bog down.
Popular is ok if it is dry but not rotten
@@offgridwanabe this one is way too rotten. I'm surprised I broke the chain on it. Lol
Sure sounds good.
@@offgridwanabe thanks. It runs pretty good as well. Cheers
Cheers 👍
You got horseshoes lol nice find
@@offgridwanabe seems to be a popular saw around here. Good 50cc saw.
@@frankz1125 Ya years ago I had a 036 but the motor mounts broke in it too could the one weak point. Stihl are good saws.
@BryanClark-gk6ie I'd buy if you want to sell. Cheers
I used an old tablesaw blade for my homemade dogs
good idea. Thanks
forever 61ff my first love
lol
100% better than the first cut lol
@@offgridwanabe it doesn't take much to get them running good. Every small thing adds up. Hope all is well. Cheers
Cool video. I own a 2018 clarity. It has about 95k miles on it. The batteries will probably need to be replaced soon. How much does it cost to replace new batteries?
Im not sure what it would cost. Ive heard some are very expensive. I use them for solar batteries.Thanks for watching.
🔥Ground & Bond🔥 run the inverter into a panel with l1 on the right then power this step up transformer with a 20 amp breaker. Then connect l2 from this 20 amp breaker to the left side of the panel. Also ground the panel with a rod. That way l1 l2 neutral and ground will all be bonded. I don't trust this Chinese electronic stuff without making sure I get some breakers and disconnects in there and bonding. Especially if I'm going to use it for well pumps heat pumps anything else they're going to be in contact with daily. Just my opinion
@@superflybguy2622 I don't even need it on my system. It is all 120vac , even my well pump. I have it just in case I need it. Cheers
I thought these modules were 44v
@@SacredHeart0520 they are close to that but work on a 48v system . They work with some inverter chargers as well.
Always helps if it is sharp lol
@@offgridwanabe 100%. Do you need any a123 packs. Let me know. Have a few to part with. Cheers
@@frankz1125 Sorry I have been thinking of changing to 48 volt and selling all my packs if I can find a buyer.
@@offgridwanabe nice. It would make things easier but sure won't be cheaper. Lol. Cheers
@@frankz1125 For sure costs lots but my old systems were all used so they have paid for themselves by now.
@@offgridwanabe I bet youeve put a lot of kwhs on them. But good for you if you can ,might as well. Cheers
I know this is old but this really helped me out thank you

I love it

Good for you glad you are finding work.
Thanks. I am swamped with work but Im running out of time to complete it this year. It all gets closed down for winter. Hope you guys are ok. Cheers
Nice almost better than a splitting axe lol
Wow that's impressive what kind of wood was that.
@@TheKiloG69 thanks. Maple and red Oak. Cheers
👍
I wasnt able to find the follow up for this video. Did you happen to make ome tearing down the individual modules? Im curious what cells they use and what they could be replaced with today.
@@RAD-RC ya I've made a few on these packs . Solar builds mainly. Click on my name and you can go to my channel. Cheers
@@RAD-RC Playlist is better
I wonder how much each Clarity actually cost Honda to make. I'll bet they were losing money on each one.
I know they didnt make the batteries. They got them from another company. Blue Energy I believe. Thanks for watching
Great video, how wide and long is the full battery pack?
@@teslatrash4601 not sure exactly but I'd say close to 4 foot square. Maybe 1 foot thick. Thanks for watching
Good build!
Cool
Quite a power user when tramped lol
6:09 - Oops, soldered the fuse up (far side). On some packs they have a notch so the narrow part of the nickel is the fuse, in this one they have 4 spot welds on each end of every battery, but then the whole thing runs through 2 spot welds where those two pieces join. Now will your solder work as a fuse in case of catastrophic failure? Probably. Not as predictably. Learning about these packs myself, not ripping on Frank here guys, just pointing it out for everyone else looking to fix a battery.
Hopefully the bms will handle any failures. The packs I've repaired have worked so far. Time will tell. Thanks for watching
