- It was a pleasure reviewing the VTERUN 12v 100ah Lifepo4 Battery and 2000w Off Grid Inverter combo! It passes all my tests and it has so many options built in! Very portable. All you need is a 200w solar panel and you have a complete off grid system!

Neat! Nice video man
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment.
Pretty slick battery!!!
Thanks for the comment!
@@OffGridBasement love your reviews
Do you know what wattage the usb-c port is? I can’t find any info about it on their web page. It would be really nice if it was 100w but a lot of companies like putting smaller usb-c ports on things.
Since it's paired with a USB-A QC 3.0 I believe it won't be any faster. You're looking at 24w max. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment.
test the max solar input
I'll need to do that in a future video. Thanks for the comment and the suggestion.
Sweet set up. The limitations are understandable & likely a great system for most.
Did you check the quality of the Pure Sine wave 120V output ?
Did you check for EMI &; Radio Noise for HAM use ??
I did check the pure sine wave and it's good. I don't have the equipment for checking emi and radio noise. I'll look into it.
@@OffGridBasement Thank you.
now this sytem is what i needed lol so cool thanks for sharing
This system is full featured. Thanks for the comment.
Hell I did something like this because I used gel cell batteries on my 400 watt inverter and everything's on standby because I have it connected to a power supply that's 30 amp and that's what I used to float charge everything using the right voltage stepped down and made my own charge controller so I don't have to worry about the expensive big batteries like in this video those cost too much so I went low budget and that's all I need because I'm not going to be powering anything else other than my phone charger with it obviously so it's nice that my inverter has two outlets and I can plug my phone charger into it so I'm not worried about losing electricity
Thanks for sharing and for the comment!
Very strange that it kept running below 10 volts on that discharge test. Most batteries shut themselves off around 10 volts. Nice thing to have but I will have to look at the link for prices, the licitti battery case with all that built in might be better. I would rather have a separate charge controller for faster charging. Great for camping though. It would easily run a 12 volt fridge while camping and be able to charge it everyday. Should be plenty of power for other things like cooking while camping too.
The documentation for the battery does state that it disconnects @ 9.5v That is extremely low. I'll need to test to make sure that is the case. Thanks for the comment.
I also want to know if this will actually power a furnace at home in the basement because it would be handy if it was during the winter and there was a severe power outage at least you'll be able to run your furnace hopefully
That really depends on the size and age of your furnace. My furnace runs at 600w, but surges @ 1500w so this inverter / battery combo would run it. It would only run the furnace consistently for about an 1.5 hours though.
MPPT Charge Controller 200W (Vmp 10-45V)
so can be used even connect a regular 300-600 watt panel - but unfortunately the weak MPPT will cut the power to 200 watts - unfortunately... although the battery can be charged with a current of 0.5 c - up to 600 watts
I think because of heating considerations they don't build in a more powerful solar charging controller
You're right. There is more heat generated receiving 200w from CC than charging directly from the terminals.
Nice
Thanks for the comment.
No low voltage disconnect
Documentation states it disconnects @ 9.5v, which is lower than most lifepo4 batteries I've tested.
It is not low frequency .
True. Anything portable won't be low frequency. Thanks for the comment.
This is really cool! Question: Could you do pass through charging on this setup?
Definitely. You can connect a charger to the battery while using the inverter. Thanks for the comment.
@@OffGridBasement Thank you.
Pretty neat concept, the inverter standby power draw is really good too for 2000W inverter. I hope you will do long term testing.
Does the App show cells Voltage? Does the App allow you to change the MPPT charging parameters?
No and no. The app doesn't show anything about individual cells. Also, the CC is preprogrammed for the battery so there is no changing it. Thanks for the comment.
Nice, you really do need 2 x 100ah batteries for this setup. Just so you can pull more than 100 amps out of the battery system that is.
That would be a good idea. Thanks for the comment.
Your enthusiasm is motivating, really!! It's good to see more combined components like this being introduced. Thanks for the testing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment.
Such a cool setup! I am preferring 48V gear tho. Nice vid!
Fair enough! Thanks for the comment.
lov all the video's.. you give out great info for us all... can i ask a question 🤔.. if i hav a 3000w heater 220-240 v how much would it use in 2mins.. so 3000/60*2=100w then 100w/240v=0.416amps
A 3000w heater that's plugged into an AC receptacle operating @ 230v would pull 13A consistently. If you are referring to using a 12v battery as your source then it would be massive. 3000w at 12v is 250A. One 12v battery shouldn't be able to handle that.
@@OffGridBasement thanks... so would only use 0.416amps if run for 2 mins ,,, 0.416 * 30= 12.48 amps per hour 🤔🤔🤔
It would be good to test whether the integrated charge controller really is a MPPT or a PWM masquerading as a MPPT. There are a number of inexpensive charge controllers in the market claiming to be MPPT but aren't.
It would also be good to do a tear down to evaluate the construction and components.
Thanks for the info and the comment.
Note the current shown during the solar test, 6.17 amps. With PWM controllers battery amps and volts=panel amps and volts because there is no DC-DC conversion being done, they just directly connect the panel to the battery while on. I highly doubt that this panel has an ISC of more than 6.2 amps so it almost has to be true MPPT stepping the panel volts down and the current up.
As always great job.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment.
this is the app im using for my battery and i love it so cool i cant wait till my renogy 30amp solar charge controller comes in lol
Great Video and very encouraging that this company thought to pretty much turn this into a power station🧐
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for the comment.
thanks for sharing i love this type of stuff i wish i had a dam job so bad now anyways i didnt read the fine print and i bought a cheap AMAZON battery and i thought it was only 130 dollars but shipping cost 20 dollars so i ended up paying 160 dollars for a 100ah battery witch is cool but i was hoping to save a little bit of money there so now i have to save up for a month to buy a 100 dollar inverter
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the comment.
