    Awesome video. I have everything to build my own except for the batteries -- Do not buy anything from Aolithium. I ordered multiple products from this company that reflected they were in stock. The company waited until the date I was suppose to receive the products (almost 3 weeks after I placed my order) to tell me they are no longer in stock and haven't refunded me my money. Basically they're trying to keep my money and will not ship the products.

    This looks great, but the problem is, by the time you buy the cases, battery, inverter, and wires, you could probably buy the new Bluetti elite 2000 v2. It is remarkably efficient, has a 2600 watt inverter, and 2073wh capacity. It also has a 5 year warranty, and service life is claimed to be 17 years. It is on sale for about 1100 bucks. I looked at the price of that battery and a good 600 watt inverter alone is over 600 bucks. It would also be much less portable than the bluetti. Of course there is the added benefit of just changing out the battery if needed with this build. I was an industrial electro-mechanical troubleshooter until I became disabled, and I could build this. It would for sure be a lot of fun to build, but with the cost of a quality lipo4 battery, and 3000 watt inverter, I just can't see the real advantage.

    That's an impressive build. It is not obvious to me how the battery is connect to the inverter when each are in their respective cases. While watching the video I was thinking, why not just get a 2000Wh solar generator from Jackery, EcoFlow or Bluetti, or any of the other Chinese branded ones. It's obvious yours is way more capable, even if you spent more money on the components. Along with you time and skill to build it.

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383 2 місяці тому

      The battery is connected through a negative and positive 3/8 bolt that runs through the top of the lid on the bottom case and through the bottom of the smaller case that sits on top. Ecoflow makes some really sweet and inexpensive stuff, to answer you question, watch my video on "Why you need to build a 12volt power station"

    How have you found the reliability of those TYT dual band radios? I have heard it said from the 'Shack-in-a-Box' people that you if you have to count on your GO box, best use radio and components with very high reliability. Their VHF/UHF GO box is based around and Icom ID-5100.

      Basic build with good deals on parts, approx. $1350. But I can work on it when individual parts give out. I'm not skilled enough to work on an Eco Flow (It becomes a paper weight) and 12 volts gives me lots of options.

    Damn! I literally joined to make your first point. Saw a post from a guy recently on an Ecoflow ad asking about how to hook one up, and wanting to power his house for 2-3 days. Setting up a solar battery and panels etc, will help any novice learn the basics at a small scale. that knowledge and experience can then be scaled up to meet your goals and needs.

    How would you go about wiring a 30A plug to use this as a home backup to a transfer switch?

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383 4 місяці тому

      With only 200 amp hours of battery, I wouldn't connect it to a transfer switch. I would just connect the devices I would like to run like a fridge and freezer. There are after-market transfer switchs that can be connected to smaller units like mine and you can automatically switch from solar panels to grid electricity.

    • @tonyinfinity
      @tonyinfinity 4 місяці тому

      @@customtech383 Well the transfer switch was installed to connect my two 2500W generators to run in parallel. That was done before these LifePO4 units came around. So I want to build one that can connect to the 30A plug on the transfer switch. Since the transfer switch only has a few circuits I would only be running the garage fridge and freezer and the kitchen plus maybe one more room if it could power it. So I would built it with the intention of just being able to get thru the night and then I could charge with 400W of solar or my generators the next day. I was just seeing if there was a way to do 30A with a 12V system instead of building a 48V system?

    • @customtech383
      @customtech383 4 місяці тому

      You need a 3000 - 10000 watt power inverter with "High output terminals" so you bypass the 15 amp plug outputs. My 3000w Renogy inverter allows this option and I have it wired up in the video this way. So I can replace the two 15 amp external outlets with 30 amp ones and use a 30 amp connector for a RV/Home etc. The gauge of wire is also a consideration. I would use at least 10 gauge
