Nice simple set up! I have had that same battery charger about 5 years now, still charges great. That pulse charging works awesome on stubborn old small batteries
SURE! Are you wanting a video on this topic lol? AMPS are like water pressure, VOLTS are like the size of the hose, those multiplied together equal Gallons per min (WATTS). AMPS X VOLTS = WATTS. You got to make sure your amps are not restricted by the wire size, as to cause HEAT and power loss... and FIRE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hi there! Thanks for your Q! Depending on how much your machine draws in watts, you can do some basic math. Looks like the average machine is 300-600w.. put that into 1280wh battery, you'd need ~4-8 100ah batteries for 16hrs run time.
Nice, that's an efficient machine. So we want to keep power calculations in watts (w) when considering how much 'power' you can get out a battery. Your machine draws 175 watts. So in an hour, it would draw 175 watt hours (wh). This battery is 12.8v x 100ah = 1280wh. So 1280wh/175w = 7.3ish hours of run time. You also have 10% or more loss when switching 12v to 120v in your inverter, so you'd need 3 batteries to last you 7.3hrs x 3batts = 21.9hrs x 90% inverter efficiency = ~19hrs of run time. You would have no inverter loss if your machine can run on 12v natively, not sure the capabilities of yours. That help at all? Thanks again for your questions!
Here is my test using the 12v adapter outside I referred to!! ua-cam.com/users/shortsvJ1RtlTC2GQ?feature=share
Your blowing up the power station world. I love it.
Haha thank you for sharing! lets go!

I like the way he shows the actual package which describes the items
Thank you!!👍
As I am an old guy can you explain the difference between amps and voltage watts and the other stuff

How many hours did you get on the load test ? I want to build one to last 16 hours before I could solar charge it . I need to run an O 2 concentrator.

@@TackleThat mine says it uses 175 watts. How much power for that? And what is the math formula to find out?
