Whole home battery backup and generator setup.
Aims 6000 watt 48v inverter
48 volt battery bank
This is video 1.5 of 3. In the next two videos i'll explain how the generator hookup works and the manual transfer switch at the power panel side.
My goal is to eventually go off grid with solar panels.
This is all purely for demonstration. You should consult an electrician for ANY electrical work or recommendations in your own home or setup.

Do This To Bring Any Old Battery to Life- Just Like New th-cam.com/users/postUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8
You could, but most people don’t because of the added maintenance required for the batteries. I suggest you do some research in to lead acid vs AGM vs lithium batteries and make your decision from there. Good luck!
*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*
After reading many reviews and watching a lot of videos, I chose this option for my first backup power station. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHypYDKHAN93Lp2RQpfvU_ksc70wJ00pt I was between this and a larger option that could power a wider range of items, but the price/size/capacity blend seemed right for this unit. Hasn't gotten a ton of use yet, but the build quality is solid and it charges fine via the Rockpals solar panel I purchased to pair with it. One thing to note is that the screen is optimized for a top down viewing angle, which makes sense, but this means it washes out at other angles - especially low angles. Not a huge deal, but perhaps a better option for the display could be used to provide wider viewing angles.
*I love the Input/Output wattage function along with the % of charge remaining. solar **Generater.Systems** Well done.*
I like the cleanness of the system,how well organized and I also wanted to thank you for taking your time to explain everything as well.
I have a pto generator on my tractor, feed it to the house and can run my stove hot water tank etc.....works for me and don't have the expense of new batterys ever except for the tractor, that is the problem with ev cars......battery replacement and its hyper expensive, ice vehicles here to stay longer than people think, but great job, nice installing.......👌
Nice setup, but these batteries have a 20yr life expectancy and when the power goes out I don’t have to touch anything. Lights dont even flicker in the house. Sounds like your setup requires some setup if there’s an outage. Different systems have different pros and cons. Glad your setup works for you!
Pretty clean setup - nice layout 👍🏻
Great looking system. Very clean design. Well thought out. Good job. I especially like the locked battery box.
You have the makings of an off grid home as a 35 year electrician ( in the trade) I appreciate it when I see a simple stupid with all the safety features included (no offense) at any time you could add solar or wind maybe both and it could keep your batteries charged use what ever is left over to heat your hot water, as means of a dump load. Very nice indeed
Nicely done man, the copper junction for Pos. and Neg. was brilliant ! I like how you have done this and kept it so neat, I don't like when the wiring looks like a birds nest, its better to have things all tied up, so if there is an issue or problem you can find it quick and fix it ! Nice job!
I like the way you set up your battery bank and with safety being first nice job.
Nice setup, good job!
Clean, tidy, efficient, and nicely designed. Excellent job.
This is a very great video. Great installation,very neat and clean. Your system is really well planned.Those bus bars are just perfect. Great job! I love your battery box.
Thanks for the kind words. While the bus bars were expensive I feel in the end they were well worth it !
Yes! They are really well worth it. I don't see you having any issues as regards connection to the battery and eventually when you plann to install a charge controller.
Ibidapo Ilawole brother I live in the Bahamas I am watching the same thing you are watching but they never ever says the price for the set up after they finish could you please tell them put the dump rice so I can buy one I wants to know the price in the Bahamas I need one of those in the Bahamas please tell me the price for that set up
Nice setup buddy.
Thanks for sharing.
He didn't show the solar panels did he?
Nice set up and very clean wire job. Looks professional. Be safe. J
Wow man,great setup.That's exactly the inverter I want to buy.
Very clean job !
your system looks amazing sir! i love the attention to detail, very clean and professional looking. i have been looking into doing this to my families house and i just found the perfect build for our country home :)
thanks allot, this is the type of setup that I am looking for.
safety and cool setup dude..
professional job
Nice Organize system I like that better than some of the other video to see out there and took her time
Great and informative video. Very clean setup.
Very clean install. Bravo.
clean set up. Looks great. easier to understand also, if some one else need to work on your system.
Good setup!
Clean efficient.
thanks for sharing 😊😊
happy new year
Awesome setup. I decided to go AGM as well.
Very nice clean setup..
awesome set up!! thats exactly what im trying to build
Great setup, Thanks!
Nice clean installation.
For anyone watching this is a 2kWhr battery , a typical house is using 20kWhr per day.
AGM batteries can not be discharged below 50% without damaging them/significantly shortening their life. Using only the top 25% will extend their life, but then you have very limited energy available.
These batteries will self discharge even with zero loads.
Lithium-Iron-Phosphate batteries are far supperior. If your interested to build a back up system, do some research, LiFePO4 batteries, All in One inverters there are great resources out there if you look.
For Electronics, avoid high THD (total harmonic distortion) invererters like the one in the vid. Good units cost more, but will not destroy your electronics.
Very impressive and well done, great video
Perfect job nice... All the way from south africa.
Really like the battery box with the lock to stop or prevent any potential accidents
great job!! I love the battery box!! big on safety. you will never go wrong with disconnects on both pos and neg. I use AGM in my electric scooter. 48V 20Ah CSB batteries 4X. look into EDISON battery NiFe 48V . Got 2 banks 12V 700Ah total over 10 years old 100% power .make sure you set correct battery type in your settings. AGM and flooded have different charge voltage.also keep a 12V meter handy to check balance of each 12V battery.
Lovely set up.
great job. so i use a lot power due to my sump.pomp and i want to swe if i can save money by charging the batteries with grid power during off peak time and then use batteries at peak time any advice on that? i like your system and i would really apreciate it.
Great work! Thanks for sharing.
thank you for your information sharing
Awesome nice and clean, circuit design simple and with a technically competent architecture. 👍🏽 1 question is this going to be expanded to an off grid solar system?
thanks for video very helpful.
very clean
...very cool...nice work...
very nice set up
neat job
Now. . THAT IS ..... BAD ASS!! NICE! ! THAT WOULD RUN MY GER ....
MY LIFETIME PLUS... GOOD WORK. ..!!! $$$ SAVER
Great set Up, I your box. I just I builded a box for my system to; mine is designed to be on top of a trailer
Awsome set up ,
Super, Thanks for sharing
Very nice / clean setup..the tradesman and ocd in me wants to send you a torpedo level.
Really a neat job!......I hope you go to a step by step
Good show , Thanks
Basically I'm just going to say just like everyone else nice setup! 👍
very organize Thq for educating
Hi, just wanna check if I need to have a box for gel batteries? It will be kept in interleading garage with this door being open most of the time. Also the batteries will be right next to my car's exhaust outlet. Is this a problem?
well done . lovely set up . I have a similar setup going on two things that are benefits but not absolutely criticalplace a mid point connection btwn the parallel bats with a 5a fuse thin wire . it balances you battery voltages better(but if the fuse pops its means you have a battery problem )this is a nice to have , place a 12v voltmeter in each battery . you can always see exactly what happening with the bats ,its also a early warning system should on bat start to fail. cheers
Very neat installation...well done. I may contact you for some advice in setting up my home.
One thing is certain. This guy knows his shit!
Great video and great system I think everyone should try solar not only is it green it's fun
Solar and grid tie is my next step. I'm still reading and learning but that is the ultimate goal here!
Can you also power the AC unit, stove and dryer with it?
Im assuming when the transfer is activated that control box does not allow any back feed back into the grid. Did the power company have to help you rig this too the grid? Being it functions with a power down.
Nice 😊
i've been observing your backup power set up. i think you can actually connect the cables from solar panel to that swich where you connect the Power generators. Therefore, you can still have connected the solar panels to the house and switch them back if there's daylight to keep charging the batteries. is that right?
Nice bus bars.
what size breaker did you have on your battery bank? and was it on each bank or the one together. thanks
Brilliant, thank you for sharing, exactly what I have been looking for. Are you willing to share a schematic for this set-up?
WoW! I looking this video show is so amazing. It's a blue of the power inverter ups is what kind name brand? So I will think a planning for setup a whole home UPS.
excellent ......
i have the same batteries they are great!
thank you for sharing.i do have one question for you if i may...what would this system cost if i had it installed in my home i already have a generator installed. thank you .....ray f
I will like to build a system like yours good job!
Are you ever planning to have solar to charge your battery bank? I like that setup inside the box and I have considered such, but I'm not sure how well it will charge from solar...
Nice
I would suggest some Fuses between every battery in case one goes out of line your other battery's are protected.
Hi, I'm looking to buy a 5k or 6k inverter, does it make annoying noise? (fan etc), and if makes even more noise when it is working. The idea is to place it on my living room, but another area could be in a closed room underneath the stairs, but it would be just a bit more complicated there.
Nice set up..great ideas from this..
The fuse on the wall for positive.. You should put some electrical tape or liquid tape to cover that exposed ends..
If someone has a pipe or pole and turns around near it there is a chance to catch that little bit around the fuse..
That's what I did with mine..and I also covered the positive on all my batteries just to be extra safe...have a greatday
Thanks for the input. I'm in the middle of making changes and setting up for solar. I'll take this under consideration!
hi,
how you conct your solar panels?
How many amp hrs was your setup?
Are they still functional?
excellent !!
Hella awesome dude! What gauge are those wires good sir??
I have a very simple setup with only one 12V 250AH as my main storage. Is it ok to mix capacities in parallel? Im planning to add one more or two 12V 200AH in parallel to my 250AH. I got my 250AH as a very good deal, however the guy who sold me almost doubled the price on his other stuff.
That moment the lights go out while making a backup power vid😉😂
Mustafa Rothman yea just bad timing on the timer for the garage door lights.
wow. I need this to run my lights in a grow room. it would be great for a power outage as well. but I would need some how to charge the batteries. I planned on an electric 120v motor with some high output alternators on a shaft with pulley's to charge the batteries when they get low from the 18hr a day light usage. I would need some type of inverter with about 8-10 120v sockets to plug my lights in. each light is 600w and I have 4 of them. I'm trying to use small electricity to charge those batteries to get around paying the big light bill. Any tips would be a great help. your video is the first one I came across with the almost same concept I need. just yours is so much more awesome! I love it! great video!
Is each battery 12 volts? And if so does that implies that you connected 4 batteries in series as well as the remainder 4? And if so does that implies that you connected both 48v battery banks in parallel? I ask because I am planning on doing that by myself. But perhaps with 16 12v 101amps everstart deep cycle batteries.
This is slick and I want to try and build one. I'm an Urbana Ohio Native living in Houston so only powering 120 would be challenge in the summer however we could use a couple stand alone AC's for a day or two. In the winter I would have to make some adjustments my furnaces are non 20 two pole breaker and the pool needs 240V but it has me thinking. BTW it's going to rain at Muirfield this year.
I have a 4kw aimes power inverter. Had to learn the hard way.... the power saver mode won't come on with an inductive load (like a motor), only a resistive load. This blew my expectation that I'd be able to run the inverter in power save mode and my fridge would make it come on as needed. Not sure if others like Magna Sine work the same way or if a fridge can make the magna sine come on??
Looks GREAT. Question... what else do you need if you want to hook your stove, washer, air conditioner on there? Thinking about an off the grid cabin? Thanks I appreciate it
You would just need an inverter that can handle 220v. My system was only designed to handle 110v since in a real issues i'm not too concerned with the stove or dryer.
How long will thiss set up run an electric stove please ?
I like your system !
Very nice
i found the bars thanks what about them grey looking boxes to put my shunt and meters in what are they called on the market ?

hey friend nice setup..m going for 900w and 5 trojan l6 battery 6v.. what you think
Most of it looks great I would recommend to get 100 % duty dc breakers real ones from outback or midnight solar. I have used those breakers you have before and kept frying them with my large bank. I also put a 400 amp ANL FUSE HOLDER GOPOWER T TYPE. And 4/0 tempco welding cables for my battery bank cables . And I have a power in and power out duel copper bus bars that equally put in power and use power across my whole bank. I did build mine as a 1410 AH bank with crown cr-235 6v batteries 12 of them . It can power a 15k btu ac unit offgrid with my 1800 watt solar array and 500 watt 3 phase wind turbine topped at 800 to 1100 watts on windy days . Works very well . I love the box you built . Mine is a metal tool box for a truck built like a Faraday cage . Protects the equipment from EMP. mine is portable wind and solar has 2 30.amp RV PORTS and a ATS for the house when its stored . I can run allot with it. Whats the size of your bank? 48v ?AH
Here is a good breaker www.amazon.com/dp/B007IABO50/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KQOCFbY8Z3ZMB
I also use a temperature controlled relay board and blower fans to cool my stuff when it gets hot you set it up to trigger and it does it
@@donaldsteele6276 My current setup is 270Ah. I don't have nearly the demand you have. I have tested my system to a real world 22 hours of backup time before my inverter started beeping at me. I have a max draw of about 1200watts/AC and a sustained draw of about 300watts/AC.
@@dubohio I would still get a good 100 percent duty cycle dc breaker just a smaller one for 25.00 . I learned my lesson the hard way lol 😆. Nice setup 👌 😎. I know this guy that swaps out government redundancy systems he can get me the AGM 200 AH 12V batteries 4 for 100 dollars never used sat around for 6 mo and swapped out . I just purchased 50 of them to build a really big bank for my house . I have about 100 ft of 4/0 cable to make good cables i can't wait to see that in action this bank will be 48v or 60v depending on the inverter charger i get.
@@dubohio here is my wind and solar unit offgrid camping . I have more videos that show it over time. Mine is a prototype there isn't one like it. th-cam.com/video/q5ba9_XDGbE/w-d-xo.html
Nice video. would love to have my home off the grid . What do you use for the 230vac ? stove/ dryer /ac.
Excellent! now all you need are solar panels to charge the batteries.
How are you getting you second phase to your panel. Yes I know it's all 120 Volt but you have two separate phases on a modern electric system.
RAFE Alexa I’m not. There’s no need too. No 110v circuit needs 2 phases and I’m not running anything that’s 220. Everything I’m running peaks at about 1500 watts all together. This system was designed to keep me comfortable in the event of an outage.
How much $ for your whole set up including your solar panels ? I'm looking to go solar also in my 600 square foot home.
So you have 360 amp hrs at 48 volts right? If your batteries are rated at 180 amp hrs. Each.
Bonjour
J'aimerais savoir où puis je me procurer des batteries pour un onduleur de 24 volts de 3000 watts.merci
Is your future plans to also install solar panels ? and also the ground bars are great, what is the thickness of the bar itself it looks like 1/4 " in the video
The plan is go add solar at some point. I'm just working out the details as far as space and how I want the setup to operate. Here are the ground bars I used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GJUZUMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Did you state your battery capacity in A-h?
