I recently did this with my station, but my lipo and solar system is too small. I get about a day of off grid, and that’s not long enough for me. This would be the perfect upgrade to my system, a slide in replacement. It would also last 5 days as my current is 20ah
Many years from now when that battery in no longer functional would you take it to a recycling center like a car battery. Look forward to your videos, Thanks!!!
Excellent video Eric :) yes myself did battery back up with Deep Cycle on Boat Marine back 1999 to 2007 year for my Radio Garage and use one posts of + and - to battery charger and other post for my radio power cord on copper clip on both not silver ones found they draw to much plus lose power on compared copper one stay up stronger! Also use for rechargeable up my cellphone battery to when needed too! Why did battery in past because hydro power was so bad in my area for long time till solved it and Winter or Summer Season Weather was worse times! But resolved since and may get Battery that type in future to and try too! I know late friend of my he did solar , batteries at home save on lots hydro costs years ago! Fun wished I met guy in my area did years ago he use Wind mill to Allernators rechargeable batteries in whole house and use hydro if no wind only! But was amazing setup shock me and worked for lots year's!
@@FarpointFarms no problem Eric and yes some stuff planned for my radio garage too do in future too! I use heavy duty power cord to shed then surge bars but hopefully get hydro hook up and outlets plus lights more ! Got trouble light and old densit light on one rafter over table for know ! One cords for heater in Winter Season months and fan in Summer Season Weather and other for 2 surge bars for plugs in 3 prong ground ones with rest buttons! But very dark to work on things that like change for night time in on like work on lawn tractor or snowblower or anything unless close to table light!
Is there a reliable place I can go to learn more about the solar generators and most important how many watts I need to keep items running that at this point I only know the volt and amp ratings for and how can I find out approximately how long the batteries will run those items. I have been looking into them for a long time and I kinda like the ecoflow 3600 pro. to run my well pump I need 220 volts and I think I would need two of them linked to get the 220. I thought that I might be able to run two 110 volt from just one of the ecoflow but an electrician said he wouldn't guarantee it would work. Most of the stuff I want to run are not on all the time like 2 freezers, 2 refrigerators only one gets opened up on a regular basis, the house heat is propane and doesn't require a large amount of power and again it doesn't run constantly. The well pump and septic pumps need power at the same time, the septic punp is 110 volt and I don't think it draws much power. I am willing to turn the pumps off while the other stuff is being powered and all but the heater in the winter can be shutdown at night. According to there website they are saying that the 2 3600 watt units hooked together to get to the 220 volts should last for 2 days. If they would last 2 days that would be great, as I can recharge them with a generator. Eventually I would like to get some solar panels to charge them and keep them charged. But we haven't had much sun in the past couple of weeks so I don't want to rely on solar only. Plus they can only take a certain amount of power from the solar panels and on a good day I think 4 large 400 watt panels is the maximum it can handle so my original plan was to put a few extra panels up since we don't often have optimal sunlight. But on the good days, I don't want to burn out the inverters. I guess I could get external inverters and try to feed it through the 110 volt charge ports however I think that would be very inefficient. I am really trying to avoid buying stuff that I don't need or stuff that is not going to do what I need and then need to keep buying more and more. I had 3 different solar company's come out to evaluate our power usage and recommend a systems, but they were supposed to be experts and they couldn't answer many of my questions and they didn't have anyone to call that could answer them. Plus I cought them in lies about the government incentives for going solar, as well as the if you make more than you use you sell the extra back to the electric company. Yeah you get credits to use if you ever need to buy any electricity. Otherwise, they just accumulate. We had hoped to be self-reliant and maybe get a little check back from the power company as a little bonus. Any help finding a website or a place that can help guide me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have just finished making a series about solar- The first one should be out soon. Will Prowse has a channel that is pretty in depth on solar stuff. Some videos are kinda complex, but good information
Ridiculous price ,get the used ups batteries ,they can handle a 1500 yes 1500 amp draw ,last 10 batteries i had from there lasted 12 years and were used thats insane ,and cost 100 bucks a piece ,not 519.00 a piece like these thats crazy price especially for most folks ,wanna save and have a better battery find those brown ups batteries these things cant touch them
No idea what you are talking about. I bought one of those used batteries. IT cost $799 and had 80% of it's rated capacity. Needless to say, I'm not impressed. Then I had to buy and wire in a BMS system for it. Ugg.
Between batteries and power banks being sent to you, you must have enough to power your whole town. 🙂
it seems like a lot, but not really- Some things we have given to friends so they can be prepared
I can see these being very useful. Off grid..or backup at home.
Exactly-

I get your point on wanting more than just 1 days worth of power. I cloudy day and it would really hurt
If you want use a coffee maker you should have 24v or 48v - but 12 volt could create some problems.
French press uses no power-lol--- Coffee is so important that we will find a way to make it
Nice upgrade to your videos !
Thanks!

I think they will be just like that, have a core charge and be redone-

Thanks for sharing that- it is good to have some sort of plan. We have water on our property but not close enough for hydro

"REDODO" LOL, I swear the Chinese manufacturers just throw letters at a wall and see what sticks to choose their product names.
I agree with the name thing- this one did not translate well.
@FarpointFarms this product is "redoodoo" 🤣🤣
Ridiculous price ,get the used ups batteries ,they can handle a 1500 yes 1500 amp draw ,last 10 batteries i had from there lasted 12 years and were used thats insane ,and cost 100 bucks a piece ,not 519.00 a piece like these thats crazy price especially for most folks ,wanna save and have a better battery find those brown ups batteries these things cant touch them
