I’m looking to make a mobile battery bank with inverter similar to the one Will featured last year, but do it on an extremely tight budget. I am super new to this, but I was looking for people selling batteries and just found someone selling 440 EVE 18650 2500mah cells for $800. Is anyone...

Thing is.. I strongly suspect we are going over 6000W when everything is operational. Although another test this weekend with both power meters should confirm that. We are using two 1500W small tank hot water heaters that could be converted to 1 propane water heater if required. That would save...

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to write this up so I can understand. Going to be taking a closer look at the panel tonight, as well as getting a more accurate reading on total power consumption on Saturday when the other power monitor arrives. Likely will be attempting to move circuits to the...

I don't at the moment. I've been looking it up and seeing that some people are very concerned, and some not so much. But I'm sure it's much better to have it balanced. From what I understand each 120V leg can handle 50A draw. So I'm going to end up drawing like 35 from one side and 10 from the...

Thanks for the explanation! So I fairly easily managed to get this thing installed the other night. What I noticed when I did so is that 90 percent of the circuits for the food truck are on one line. (so I put it on that side until the second one arrives) I think they did this because they tried...

Hoping to get the device connected tonight to get some proper readings. I know it's a bit early on but I'm very interested in what everyone is doing for batteries. I see in your spreadsheet you have the 3.2V cells listed. Curious which ones they are. Also if you think it would be possible to...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Receiving the AC panel test unit today and might try to get it installed tonight. I know that one had no reviews, and usually I would not go for that, but I liked the look of the display much better than anything else, also it showed time and temp. I figure for less...

My wife and I are mostly finished converting an 8.5' x 20' enclosed trailer into a concessions trailer. Since the beginning we've been very interested in some sort of solar / battery powered system but resorted to a 12,000W generator due to not having the budget for a full solar system. As we...
