Hello Frank, Very interesting video, which brings me some questions : 1 : for the same price than this solar generator cost, buying a DC/AC converter(like the Renogy 2000W you own) wouldn't be more efficient ? 2 : for the price of these 2 batteries and this solar generator, could u upgrade with a better solar generator ? 3 : can you use batteries with different capacities ? If no, do they have to be identical (same model) ? 4 : does the system (PWM unit) work if the 2 batteries don't have the same amount of charge ? Thanks
@@louis6569 Hey Louis, 1) it would be more efficient for the ac agreed, but there are advantages of portability and other outputs in a small light stand alone unit. 2) you could but they are bigger and heavier and not as modular so packing them in to remote locations can be more difficult, plus these can be multiple purchases through time rather than a single expensive purchase, I focus on portability for off grid use primarily as well. 3) it is doable to use mismatched batteries but I always recommend matching batteries that are top balanced. 4) top balancing is used to minimize this issue, put simply, fully charge your batteries independently before connecting them in series (periodically repeat top balancing), a 24v battery doesn't have this issue but can't be rewired easily for a 12v setup for example. Hope this helps answer your questions, keep in mind I receive these products from random companies that wish for me to do review videos, as additional channel content I create videos such as these combining the different products to show advanced capabilities that can be achieved with random gear. Thanks for watching again Louis and for the support of the channel, more coming soon cheers.
@@frankbush333 Thanks for these answers. Your channel is a real hidden gem, I don't even know what I appreciate the most : the very informative contents, the way you are talking about products or the care about your followers. Thanks Frank.
Mr. Frank sir, I stand and tip me hat to you Sir!.....ATB
