We have used the kzitem.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

You will want a fuse on the pos wire to the inverter as well. Double check the wire guage from battery to inverter. Alligator clips are very temporary. Just put rings terminals on and do it the right way for less chance or disconnect or sparks/fire

I would go 750 watts or 1000 watt. Make sure you can upgrade the system. A second solar panel and larger battery, etc. 73

Not if you want to use Li on batteries. You must make sure your charge controller is for that type of battery. I already have the AGM battery and inverter I could use but I have an 100 amp hour Li on battery sitting in my living room still in the box. I want to use a bigger panel maybe two panels and a better charge controller I would like to find a battery box that would fit the battery and charge controller . The better pure sine wave inverter I would mount on top of the battery box. Better air flow. 73

How much does it cost for the fire extinguisher? ;) If you're going to take the time to build one of these, don't waste money on stuff that's going to fail in 2 or 3 years' time. Get an MPPT SCC, a quality panel, and ditch the SLA for a LiFePO4 battery that will not only give you much more usable capacity, but last for at least 5-7 years.

I'd be vary leary about anything from everstart I bought 2 of their booster packs with modified sine wave inverter and aiir pump just before I found out proper charging parameters for sealed lead acid batteries that was confirmed by taking apart my old black and decker and written right on the battery was the proper charging parameters so I phoned everstart they said that their charge parameters were correct but a year later they were fast losing capacity so I used a good charger through the booster cables finally got it to almost a full charge but a year later and I think it's battery won't put out any power last time I used it to boost my car it wouldn't as for the air pump the one locked on and the only way to shut it off was to open it up and cut the wire to the compressor and the other one does not work at all since then I've tried to call them again but can't find a number so as for warranty you can probably forget it so find a good brand name it's not worth saving a few bucks if you have to replace it up here in Canada we have Canadian tire and they have boster packs with modified sine wave inverter there are brands that are sold in the states some of the bigger ones have built in inverters with every thing built right in just have to charge them through the cigarette lighter plug or the cables with a good battery charger that float charges between 13.4 and 14.8 and don't discharge below 12.2 I'm going to rebuild two of my old booster packs with new batteries
