Nice! I got a 1k in my prius.
Trying to learn carpentry so that I can build my own place
I'm curious, how did you come up with 460W for the Makita double charger?
The charging current is 8amps. W = A × V
sweet bud also it cant be wrong it works 😃
I'm used to being told I've done something wrong 🤣
Get a inline fuse in mate
Have you ever tried the dewalt 4 port charger on it? Looking to fit an inverter to the work van but unsure of which size could run the 4port charger
Yes it works fine. You'd want a 2000w minimum. But get a 3000w always better to have power to spare. 👍
This is a good idea but could potentially shag your battery and/or your alternator. Ideally you need 300ah of batteries for a 3kw inverter minimum. Although the watts used for charging batteries isn't likely to be that high
Bollox!
You're right I've just been looking online at what you said. I've been a little over ambitious with this.. il have to just use one or two of the lower amp chargers for now and potentially buy a leasure battery if I want to use more.
Cheers for pointing that out. 👍
I think you need to assess the draw of the battery chargers it might be okay. I don't think they use that much juice but having a second deep cycle battery will likely protect your standard system. You could get a flexible solar panel and a charge controller too. Then you're self contained
Yea that's my plan. I honestly didn't even think of the amp hour of the batteries.
Hi bud trying to see if this inverter 3000watt would run a small mig welder 2500watts and 90amp what size battery would I need to run welder. Thanks
Hi mate. Great vid, is this set up still working well for you?
I’ve just got my inverter to charge my e bike.
Putting min on my transit same as yours this weekend. I’m just going to put a fuse in the positive cable for added protection.
I've got a new van now as I've upgraded. But this system worked perfectly for months never had any issues at all and the batteries seemed to charge just as fast as when in a mains plug. So I would say go for it, and good idea with the fuse.
I will eventually have the same set up in my new mk8 transit but I will by a leasure battery and relay switch for the new van as it only has one battery.
@@BNMCarpentry thanks for getting back to me. Good to hear it worked well. Just waiting for my fuse to arrive and going to get it connected up. I’ll charge my bike while the engines running so should work fine off my original battery for now. 👍
Nice what bike have you got?
@@BNMCarpentry vitus sommet vrx with a load of upgrades. Had it a year now, fucking love the thing. 😎
update ? how you getting on
This set up worked perfectly for months but I have a new van now and I'm going to do the same thing with the same inverter but this time I will use a leasure battery with relay switch instead.
@@BNMCarpentry Look at battery to battery chargers. Victron is releasing their new Victron Energy Orion XS 12-12-50 next month, they work well with smart alternators
