    Hi dude 👍 Have you got an app for that powerbank? If so, you should be able to turn down the AC input to match your inverter so it doesn't overload it. Happy birthday😊

    Hi your power bank will have a setting the same as on the Ecoflow. Go into the settings and turn the load down to say 700Watts your inverter should be able to handle it. Or buy a 2000W Pure sign wave inverter A note to your followers make sure its a pure sign wave inverter not a modified sign wave inverter.

    Hi mate. I have the bluetti AC200max with the b230 expansion pack which works a treat. I charge mine up with a 3000w inverter remotely turning on when engine is on with no problem. I was tempted to get the charger one from bluetti but unfortunately it plus into the solar input so you would have to disconnect your solar panels. The main AC charging brick that came with my power station works fine plugged into my 3000w inverter. looks like you need a bigger inverter

    • @ProjectCamper
      @ProjectCamper  25 днів тому

      Yes indeed the small 800w inverter doesn’t charge the larger power banks but I’ve learned that the settings can be changed to a lower charge rate, something I wish I had of known, I still can use my 3ka pure sine wave inverter, it has a remote panel but not a remote connection for remote switching or ignition feed. More updates coming soon as I think I’ve succeeded but still have to fit what I have to prove it. , thanks for watching and sharing your knowledge 👍👍

    I'm totally off grid, have a 24/7 12v supply via live vehicle 12v, 2x 20,000mAh Power banks for small electrical, plus a twin 2500W/12v sin wave inverter generator for anything larger.
    Gas for cooking & heating.

      Hi, looking to get a van in the future for dogs (3 dobermans so need som room) and some overnighting if we want.
      Collecting the stuff needed before I get a van, let’s me play with it and have it ready. Love victron stuff.
      Take care M.

      Are you thinking of a van conversion or motorhome?

    • @markeh1971
      @markeh1971 9 днів тому

      @ Hi, conversion but planning to keep it basic. I have a small 2 birth caravan if I want comfort, but normally just hire a holiday cottage to go away to. Learning to love it, did it for 6 weeks this year.
      The van is just to allow us to transport the dogs, but a kitchen cupboard, small fridge and lots of floor space for the dogs. Bed wise a removable setup with ikea beams so it can stay or be taken out. Keeping the dogs off the bed will be the issue.
      Solar on the roof to keep the sun off it and top up the batteries. Solar is now so cheap.
      Take care M

      Hi Christoper, the Honda's are the best & quietest, but the most expensive.
      Don't get mislead by any generator stating it's silent.
      Non are, it's impossible.
      They market silent, due to it being an inverter (sin wave) so much quieter than a conventional generator.

      @@keepitreal1547 spot on. I'm running a Clarke 1200 inverter at the moment with a slightly higher decibel than the honda . I think that it's about 20 decibels quieter the honda but they are quality 👍

      I place my generator 25mtrs away, exhaust facing away & all of it in a thick cardboard box, except exhaust side.
      Have to really consentrate to even hear it. Honestly almost silent.
      My set up is extremely cheap running, in my opinion & experience there's no need for anything fancy, I just keep things basic...spending unnecessary is throwing money away.

    The inverter would have worked if you had reset it after you overloaded it! my ac200 charges perfect on my 1000w inverter, flat to full in 2 hours.

    The inverter wont work to max capacity because your only supplying it with a 12v 30amp input which equates to about 350w of power simples 🙄 connect the inverter to a right sized battery with correct size cables and you will get the full capacity from it

    • @ProjectCamper
      @ProjectCamper  27 днів тому

      The small 800w victron inverter is connected to a 1000w victron bus bar that runs to a 300amp lithium battery via 70mm square cable. Then to 16mm square cable to the inverter 👍
