That's actually kind of neat, Brad. Just add battery. I like it!
Thanks Nate :)
Good review Brad, I just acquired an extra 12v 100AH LrFePO4 battery and wil fit nicely in this enclosure.
It's a great-looking battery box. I'll check out their website, Thanks!
Hey, could you put a link to the battery you used in this video? I'll check them out, too. 👍
It just goes to show how much the battery contributes to the price of these devices - 1/3 is the box with inverter, charger, solar mppt and fusing, box etc. the other 2/3 is the battery.
Excellent and thorough review as usual Brad.
I couldn't see if they have an option for Australian 3pin socket. They do support 230V AC at least.
Had to have new version and ordered it.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Cute dog in the pool.
Cheers
Thanks, that's my best little buddy, and he loves the pool :) Except he likes to constantly track dirt into the pool, which makes cleaning it a nightmare haha.
@BradCagle Got mine today and at 13.3 v and out was only 111v.
I see yours is at 122v
Your thoughts?
Would love to see you drop the 280 ah Licitti DIY battery in this box.
Great item to have around and a great price .
Cool, I like this😁✌️
Great when you have multiple 12v/100ah batts laying around.
How competitive is this with a bluetti type of device?
Very cool if I use a 200 watt panel from Perron?
Got mine today.
Dissapointed my voltage is only 111v
I see yours without a load is 122v
Brad Cagle, You're so cool! Let's be friends and have fun!
Ikr. He reminds me of a roadie! 🎼📻🎧🎸
Yea... That's not weird at all 😐😐
Thanks for the review, but I don't think it's worth the additional dollars for the extra bells and whistles. I've been using the original battery box for about three months now. The 1000 w inverter and MPPT controller are the same. I only use it for charging my laptop and phones and as backup for my Bluetti 180 and Jackery 1500. One final note, the unit that Licitti sent me does have the 120v outlet, but at only 50 HZ and not 60, so I've been careful not to use it with any equipment with an inductive motor. Although I did use it with my portable tire compressor which work well.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Does the inverter need to be on when using the proximity charger for your phone? Does the on off switch shut down the battery entirely or can you still plug into the Anderson connectors or USB plug ins?
I don't have a way to test the wireless charger. The main (red) shut off switch disconnects the battery entirely.
I was really hoping you'd go into more detail on the MPPT solar charge controller specs, since that was the major limitation with the first generation product. Licitti sells this DIY battery box with 280ah cells, which means over 3,500wh worth of capacity. If this SCC is still limited to 200 watts, you would need close to 20 hours of good solar conditions to charge up that larger capacity battery. I know you can always by-pass the on-board SCC, but I still don't understand why they're putting such a small controller in this unit.
It's the same 10A MPPT controller that's in the original box. The challenge is size, and this being 12v. The pre-built units on the market are using a higher voltage battery system which allows them to get the higher wattage PV input, and stay in a smaller footprint. But yeah, I totally agree, I would love to see better solar capability built in to these. I've actually considered trying to mod something in. Thanks
@@BradCagle - I mean, there's a 50-amp Anderson style connector, so all you'd have to do is reroute that through a fuse and then to the battery, by-passing the undersized MPPT they include. Have your own, more appropriately sized controller outside of that box.
@@jasonbroom7147 Right you can do that, or just plug the external MPPT into the other Anderson connector. Maybe a PWM would work better in this. I have small PWM's that are 30A.
@@BradCagledidn't you do a video on using a larger mppt controller on the original box
@@johnperry5960 Yes th-cam.com/video/b2g4V9Q4x30/w-d-xo.html
Did the usb work ok? Do they work without the inverter on? Can the two of them team up for a 15a 110v circuit like small generators do?
The USB do work without the inverter being on. No you cannot parallel two units to increase AC output.
If you want more output they have a 2000 watt one for about double the price.
@@mgkleym Indeed, I've tested that one too. Thanks
I have a 15 amp Victron charger. As the box closes with screws rather than clips, could I charge the battery through the 12v outlet or do I need to rig something up using the Anderson connectors? Thank you.
Those cigarette lighter outlets can get pretty warm over 10a, I would opt for the Anderson connector.
@@BradCagle Thank you. Victron does not make a Anderson connector (only cigar plug, clips, and ring connector), but it should be pretty easy to make one from one of those versions. A few manufactures have hole plug or conduit to run wires from inside the box to the outside, but I do not see that here. Very cool box.
@@m332csi BTW I have a link in the description for Anderson style connectors that work with licitti boxes. Thanks
@@BradCagle I saw that. Thank you very much.
