Nice video. There’s too much information out there for me. The more videos I watch the less I know what I want to do with my motor home. I guess I’ll run the diesel generator for now. 😂😂
I hear ya. There are a lot of options these days.
Well don’t give up. LiFePo4 battery systems offer many decisive advantages over gas generators. Yes it’s a lot of info and I think these server rack batteries are too complicated, but try to learn how these systems are put together maybe with “dumb” batteries with a simpler BMS. You got this.
@@JamesAmbrose48James is right! Get yourself a simple Growatt or EG4 3k, 5k or 6k from CurrentConnected, and about 10kw of batteries (5kw 48v packs are the smallest size). Skip getting the LCD display-on-battery, if it's an option, to save a little money. For more savings, do a DIY build with tested used packs and a DIY BMS/case.
Your generator runs at a sweet spot: 50-80% load. You can figure out what's best. You can then program the 3k to fire it up when the batteries get down to 20%, and turn off when they are at 80%, and set your preferred charge rate, which is equivalent to the load on the generator. You'll have far better fuel usage on the generator because it won't spend any time idling, and 95% of the time, even without any solar, it won't be running.
See that start/stop switch on the dash? You can interface that harness with the dry contact relay on the 3k, and it can start/stop your generator, as needed.
LFPo are 99% efficient. Even with charging losses, it's still the high 90's.
Thank you for the review, I run a48v /100ahr sok battery in my Rv . So far it has been working well
You're welcome. What inverter are you using?
Got to be a growatt, MPP, EG4... I'm curious too!
@@RVwithTito 3000w growatt
@@my_channel_44 3000w growatt
Very good test !My english is not so good,but your accent is perfect,so i could understand easily.
That's good 👍
There is a reset button on the front. Also for the final load for Max current, your dial up heat gun would have been great. If I remember correctly, the last item fired up was the microwave which has a large current draw all at once.
Thanks for the video.
Hey thanks for the reminder on the reset button. I hadn't had to use it yet as everything's been working just fine.
$3K? Oof. Might as well get an EG4 14.3kwh vertical wall mount for $3,200. Or DIY one with an empty case and add your own cells for about $1800ish and get 17.5kwh
Thanks for the video.
You bet
I am interested to see how it holds up to travel, especially on rough (Alcan or Dalton) roads. Good video, thank you.
There should not be any trouble, as long as the battery is firmly secured to a rigid surface.
Free shipping till 11th, July, including this Orient Power 48V 230Ah battery.
These BMS's have temp info, but instead of getting complicated by tying into the RS485, you can get an inkbird 308 (w or wo wifi) and have it tell you if your temps adjacent to the battery are getting out of line. Iirc these do not have an internal heater. If you stick a battery directly on your floor, first jam the inkbird probe underneath it, so during the winter you'll get an alert if it gets too cold. These will shut-off the loads and charging at freezing.
Thanks for the tips. I just added an Inkbird Wifi to my Amazon shopping list :)
@@RVwithTito A self-adhesive, self-regulating 12v DC heating pad, ordinarily used for RV water tanks, that turns on below 50F, can be wired from the cabin 13.8v converter, and provide supplemental heat in cold conditions to the 48v LFPo battery case. A pair is about $70.
Hi back 3 years you installed airlift airbags on your motorhome. How much did you gain with full inflation of airbags please reply ASAP thank you PS enjoy your videos.
Roughly 2 inches on full inflation depending on weight. Maybe an extra inch on the front.
Is this battery UL listed? How long is the warranty?
Those are good. As are SOK, EG4, Trophy... I have 2x 5kw EG4's just stacked on the floor under the seat. For all you mobile platform people, you need 200ah (of) cells of LFPO (@48v) aka 10kw of batteries, to properly run the smallest AOI 3k, appropriate for a mobile platform, like the EG4-AIO 3k, GROWATT 3k, etc.
The downside of a 10kw+ single battery, is it weighs 210+ lbs. Each 5kw like this, usually weighs in at 110lbs (50kg).
This battery and a 3k AIO, will power up a 1-ton unit/12,000 BTU, typical mobile roof air conditioner, barely. With a soft-start, yes - no problem. To avoid passthrough surges on your generator, charge through an EG4 Chargeverter, or a couple (or more) IONIC LFPO chargers (they can be stacked, 10 amps ea).
I don't plan on putting it in a rack. I used a platform with casters on it so I can stand it on end and move it around easily. A little electrical tape over the exposed comm ports will keep any dust out.
Yup. It's heavy for sure. Too much for one person. Luckily I have a hoist and and lift table.
@@RVwithTito > weight.
Hence my concern for mobile applications of weight distribution, or at minimum, getting it into the cabin or lifted into a bay.
How long are the terminal bolts? The EG4's came with bolts that were too short, so by the time you got more than the provided interlink cable connected, you didn't have enough thread engagement to properly torque them with any additional connections.
Swapping them out with longer ones, body bolts from a toyota, worked 😂. Make sure you size your terminal bolts, and the depth of the inner threads, and have on-hand longer ones to accomodate all your connections.
The threaded portion is 5/8". Good to know about Toyota bolts. I have a 02 Tacoma 😃
@@RVwithTito It's a metric bolt. 6mm? That's too short if the flat part of the crimp lugs are 1.5mm. Got to check the depth of threads: I bet even with a single 1mm thick supplied tie-in cable, there is not full engagement.
@@my_channel_44they are M8.
Does it have Victron communication compatibility?
Yes, if you have the right cable. I believe Victron will use the CAN input.
All of these types of batteries use a very similar BMS with CAN and RS485 support.
no do not ask him as ev promotor a great battery for his ev wheel chair
the batery will hold him up so he is not faling from it with high speed corners
plenty to pul his chevy
OCP = Over Current Protection
Yup that's what I expected to see displayed.
I thought that was Robocop 😮
$2900 for this is ridiculous
i think that will be close to 140 kg ask joe bidden to lift it! for exersise.
He can't even swing a golf club...or tell the truth.
