I own, like, and use two of the 1000w. I think the Licitti design is great for some people but not for others. I too suggest checking out the older threads, but will point out that since I bought my Licitti's most of the major-brand portable power stations have dropped dramatically in price and...

Rural Florida is actually pretty cheap, and hurricanes much less of a problem if you live even a few miles from the coast. There's not much need to ever heat at all, and plenty of sun to run low-consumption mini-splits for A/C. Build cheap and with storms in mind from the outset, stay away from...

Being older, I can lift and move only so much. The stuff I build myself, I can and do design to be broken down into easy to move modules. Eventually, you'll need to load and unload your power station into a vehicle, or else relocate it into some other odd place. If it's of any size, you'll be...

Ah! In my case the batteries aren't a permanent mount, so the grounds are not shared with the vehicle. The Licittis are set up in the bed of my pickup, and have to quickly and easily come out whenever the truck is used to move large items. I just unplug them from the 12-volt power outlet and...

If I understand what you're saying correctly (and I may not), the problem is that if you connect the Licitti/Licittis (I now have two of them) to draw directly from the vehicle's alternator (unless the alternator is a special heavy-duty unit), it can overheat and destroy the alternator via too...

If you don't need a nice, pretty, tough, and relatively lightweight box/enclosure and absolutely have to have more power, I'd scrap the Licitti entirely and build new from parts. Will the Licitti run your AC fridge? If not I'd definitely build new, as due to physical size issues you'll probably...

Anything the battery, connector, and internal wiring can handle ought to work. I'm never in any hurry and have a cig lighter socket in the bed of my truck, so I just keep it topped off there with a DC to DC charger when traveling. I don't use much power on the road, and this works well for me...

I was stunned to discover they don't make one. It's exactly what I want and need, and I'd have have bought one years ago had it been available. Instead I'm using less-efficient 2000 watt units from other makers amidst a lot of other Victron gear simply because 2000 watt units are what I need...

In my area it clouds up and rains far more often in the afternoon than in the morning. So around here I'm pretty confident that east will do better than west. Your mileage may vary, but it's something I'd investigate.

I just today took delivery on and assembled my third. Two for me, one as a gift for a friend. All are fine to date.

Just bought a second one for myself, my third total counting a gift for a friend. _Love_ these things! Thanks, Licitti!

I bought a couple Li-Time Mini 100's the day they came out, because I'm older and weight matters. In my personal setup, size matters as well. The minis have been cycling as part of my bank ever since then-- and I'm not sure exactly how long ago that was-- without problems. In terms of everyday...

Mine failed consistently with a 40 watt load. For what it's worth, as I said above Bluetti offered me a refund and I turned it down on the basis of convincing them that I was sincere and not just after a "free" replacement product. (Also, after waking up with my health at least slightly damaged...

I have owned four solar generators as of this writing. None of the others have ever gotten even remotely near as hot as my EB3A did after the brief power outage described above, though I noted no smell. It may be that mine is extra-bad somehow or perhaps there's more than one root cause of these...
