    I've been trying to get into solar power with some power banks and saw this but needed more info because pictures alone didn't answer so many questions and you did a fantastic job answering about 95% of my questions. It was impressive how long it lasted with the fridge. I'm definitely considering this especially with the added app with total control. My only thing is I wonder how many of those extra batteries can you plug in.

    • @footprinthero
      @footprinthero  3 місяці тому

    Very informative video, thanks Alex. I assume the noise while charging is from a cooling fan? Since the fan needs to be in perfect condition while charging, is there a way to easily open the power station and clean the fan periodically?

    • @footprinthero
      @footprinthero  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes from a cooling fan. Nah there's no easy way to open it unfortunately. It is possible but you need some specialized tools -- look at Adam De Lay's video for how he did it

    I just bought three of these with the expansion batteries. The main unit is currently on sale for $899 with a 200w solar panel (I bought that deal). The expansion batteries are also on sale for about $550 each. I bought three of these so I could run my boiler and fridge which are in different locations in my house. I can charge the third unit to rotate with the two in use. In the dead of winter, I can put my food in a cooler and take it outside. I can piggy back all three of my units so I have heat. I could have bought the F3800 for the price, but the large transfer switch stopped me from wanting to do that. Not to mention, that unit would take a lot more panels to keep going. My units are also portable. I just wanted to get something with all of the hacking that is going on. I feel it is prudent to be safe rather than sorry.

    Hello, my name is john from Philippines. can i ask if you can make a video content about your 100ah lifepo4 battery and 1kw inverter, using 700w rice cooker while you cook 1kg rice. Try using vicatron battery monitor which you connect to battery, so we how many watts are released when using the inverter.

    Up to now, I have wondered what the real benefit is of these machines. Why not just buy a $20 battery pack to charge your cell phone instead of $1000? But this video shows the value in a home power outage. I am still NOT sure how valuable it is on a weekend camping trip. Thanks!
