I've done the sin-

I was kind of eyeballing that too the other day, but I don't have the time to deal with disassembling packs and rewiring them to anything I could use. But it is a fantastic deal, that's 16¢/Wh.

Are they so counterfeit that you are that worried about the quality that you're willing to pay out of pocket to send them back? Ask for a refund and never send them back 💁‍♀️ If they are willing to screw you over, do it right back.

Fantastic video👍

Personally I would never ever ever ever use any of these off brands. You can find deals on Nader and Eaton and Schneider out there, why EVER stoop to the low of an off brand piece of safety equipment? Even if you're just using it as a switch and you're not worried about it's interrupt...

Very true, but it still sucks to get collection calls every week over it.

It looks like from my precursory research in the past 30 minutes, your best bet is to go with 150 watt panels which tend to be about 42-44 inches long. I haven't seen a single 200 watt panel under 57.5". I have a feeling that unless you somehow find a company that is producing solar panels out...

Setup looks really well built. That's only 800Wh? Take you voltage and multiple your Ah to get your WattHours.

Awesome! That will definitely help, I exclusively browse the forum on my phone and It is definitely a pain to have to go to the bottom of the page every time I want to get to a specific page.

But that has an inverter, solar charge controller, AC charger and DC regulated output and it's all built in a box with a handle. You can't really compare a bare battery to a whole unit. Also that's not even a good deal, you can regularly get that for $400-500 on eBay refurb directly from...

I'd put a 20amp breaker between the battery and the EcoFlow unit, but other than that you should have no issues doing this. SOME people do have issues with certain charge controllers on some Power Stations not liking a constant voltage input through their PV input port, but for every thread on...

I'm always scouting around on FB and Craigslist. 👍

Yeah I wouldn't use anything with a hole on the top at all that was open like that. Those types of gland connectors are designed to be pointing down. If you absolutely need something to come out of that box on top put at least a 90⁰ connector of the same style in that area instead, rather than...

I didn't specify, but for now these are actually going to be run off of the 12 volt port off of our Bluetti unit at our cabin. But I have a few of those wide range bulbs inside for my 36v battery system, they work great no matter what SOC is.

$146 on eBay with their 20% off deal. This one.

It just took me over an hour to upload this video, as I'm out in bumf**ck nowhere at our family cabin-

I'm a chronic over-researcher when it comes to the things I buy, I spend weeks and weeks looking things up before I commit to purchasing anything. That being said I have NEVER cared how long a warranty is on a product and have never picked one brand over another solely because it had a...

Same here. If anyone has any extra money kicking around and you need it gone then feel free to use me as your own personal bank.

AFAIK (which admittedly is just hearsay) each company pays for runs of products that meet their specific requirements, levels of QC etc. So you could have products out of the same exact factory with wildly different abilities and quality. I'm all for finding bargains, I love deals and bargains...

Speaking of getting out of the way! 😳😳😳

No, as long as the DC voltage that you are inputting into the PV port does not exceed the maximum specification then you can plug anything you want into it, regardless of where it's coming from.

R'amen 🍝 🙏

I would personally weigh my options. If you are unfamiliar with electronics at all I wouldn't even bother opening your unit up at all. As it stands, you have a good chance of reselling it to someone who could fix it or who would have a use case that doesn't need the PV input at all. If you...

Almost every battery that you buy should have a BMS. And as long as you get a decent enough charger it should have built in "smart" features to turn off on its own once you get to the right voltage.

I have no way of proving this, but everything I've seen online indicates that DC House and EcoWorthy are the exact same company. But that's just my opinion of what I've gathered, that's not been proven.

I'm assuming they make up for him with a much higher volume being sold on Amazon though?

How are these going so far?

Huh? That's how you act when people ask you to back up the things you say? Weird. I mean, you're correct about the stranded wire, but IT IS NOT a commonly known thing, why act flabbergasted when someone doesn't immediately bow down to your answer?

Or this one claims to be 250w and only 54.75 inches https://a.co/d/9sHbPpZ But yeah, if you need those exact dimensions it looks like the 180 watt panel that @Drunk Engineer posted is about the upper limit of watts you'll find under that size.

36 volt is entirely possible, but there really isn't that much stuff that supports it. All of my stuff right now is currently 36V and although I got a good deal on the batteries and everything, I wished I had done 24V or 48V instead. If I had saved up the amount of money that I had spent on my...
