    Good morning 🌅, Merry Christmas to everyone from France, I suppose you’ll be Growing Battery Hens 🐓Soon, 😂,

    Did you consider making the cart so that you could slide the batteries in like a normal server rack?
    You might find, as I have, that batteries are addictive. The only way to feed that addiction is to buy more batteries!

      Im finding these will never be good rack mount batteries. Both 48 volt connections are on one side and without communications they are a pain to get balanced and will need constant attention in a rack system . They most likely will just stay as a pair for the garage. Final batteries will be rack mounts with busses and communications. Thanks for watching.

    A good diese generator is better and cheaper than all that stuff just put a propane tank under ground and a filling station on top for your diesel tractor and that way you can put some fresh diesel in once in a while to keep it fresh and a Taylor makes a good diesel generator with a Perkins diesel motor and way cheaper to run than propane or NG diesel is king with max rpm is 1800 rpm and even gas is worse but make sure it’s 1800 max rpm will save you a ton of gas with a smart throttle it only runs as fast as you need power .

      I have a big 14kw generator but it needs gas and to be dragged out. Once I get the solar panels hooked up this will provide power from the sun for most of the house and eventually we will power an EV with what I learn from this. This is an educational project for me and knowledge is priceless. Thanks for watching.

      Definitely will be nice and should save on electricity once I get panels hooked up. Thanks for watching.

    Nice battery but a poor choice for an inverter. High frequency, transformerless inverters offer a much shorter life expectancy and a far poorer surge capacity. And when their H-Bridge circuit fails, they can fry your home's appliances.

      Actually I am finding the batteries may have been the wrong choice. Can't get them to ballance the same. One has higher capacity then the other at the same voltages even after individual charging a couple times. Also seen one cell go over 3.7 volts balancing. good thing they are only temporary along with the inverter to just get some data. Going with 2 EG4 6000xp inverters and probably spend more for EG4 batteries in the end to reduce battery problems and get UL rated batteries I now have been told are required by code for any batteries over 50 volts. Right now this is just a simple outage solution that seems to be adequate for basics and will last a couple days. Thanks for watching.
