Just get a standard inverter and connect to the 12v terminals directly. 100ah battery will. Support a 500 to 750 watt. As for your comment about fire danger LifPo4 batteries are not the flammable chemistry of older aircraft / industrial Lithium batteries.

I just watched your video! I have seen probably over 500 videos on KZitem, including hobotech regarding solar generators. Here are some key points I loved about your video. 1. Very easy to understand the features and benefits, for any age and gender. 2. You didn’t get into all the details sometimes we don’t care about, not everyone is a super technical person. 3. Video production was great, good lighting and voice. 4. You gave a great value presentation, why it’s worth looking into to save some $ 5. Great add on suggestions that will be helpful in a real life usages. Thank you for making this short but ver informative video! Two thumbs up 👍 👍

I designed a similar set up with less than $300. I got the redodo battery for $220, a redodo ac to dc connector that has all my devices connectors, and it charges my laptop with a dc adaptor and usb C. I paid $45 for it. I have a 30a solar charger and an old 100w solar panel from another project for home. and I also have a wall charger just in case. Recently, I bought a pecron 1200 watts with 50 am battery just for camping, and I paid like $260. for it. So I will use my 100 amp battery set up for longer time camping while charging my Pecron at the same time. I do not think I need another inverter than the Pecron. I have a 1000 watts pure sine lying around, but I do not think I need it for short time trips. I will see how this set up works for my camping needs. I have pretend tested it at home, with rainy and very little shiny days and I get up to 4/5 days with moderate use. I do not let my batteries go below 20%. I do not use fuels to cook, but I have a couple of good dc and two ac devices with low wattage usage for cooking. Good information! We do not have to break the bank to have some fun and to have your electrical needs met.

Hi Kelly, your video just showed up on my feed this morning. Great review on the battery. I’ll probably go for one once my AGM battery dies. To answer your question, my electrical system is a DIY system that consists of: Battery DC-DC charge controller Battery Monitor System 1000 Watt inverter Fuse panel Wiring and USB outlets throughout the van I bought two 110 Watt solar panels and a solar charger, but haven’t installed them yet. So far, the DC-DC charger has exceeded my expectations and has kept the battery fully charged. I haven’t touched the battery in over 2 years. You’re absolutely right about getting more power for the same price when you build your own. One thing I would highly recommend is to consult with an electrician when setting up a DIY system.

I have 2 of these. I really like the battery. I also have a Jackery 1000. This holds more wattage than the Jackery. I charge it up at home and bring it on weekend camping trips. We have a 12V fridge that you can plug right into it. The Jackery is only rated for 500 charges and discharges where lithium Iron Phosphate of the Dr. Prepare should go over 2000. Most things camping like my 12 v fridge and charging up cell phones are DC power. I actually bring along my Jackery and this, cause I can charge the Jackery off the cig lighter driving places, and I haven't needed solar panels for 3-4 day outings. I pair the battery with a multiport cigarette usb charger and the family can charge bunches of devices off with this battery. If the Jackery runs out of juice, this is my backup for the fridge. Works great!

Very interesting battery with the hub. However the limitations you listed make it inferior to all the battery power stations that are available. Yes they can be expensive but when they are on sale they are superior to having multiple gadgets to handle your needs. For example ecoflow river 2 pro I was able to get for $314 last month during prime days. Those sales are gone but I imagine labor day and black Friday they will return. Ecoflow and bluetti have been competing. If you regularly review their website you can eventually catch a great deal.

Here is my take on a campervan electric system:- 8 years ago when I built my (3rd) van I found there was only one item that needed any reasonable amount of power, my coldbox. I keep butter and milk cool and that's it, so I run that only when the engine is running. The rest is USB charging, so that is easily powered by the van battery. When my van battery was up for renewal I fitted the larger one at only €10 extra, but had 50% extra capacity. So my electrical system involves no extra equipment at all. So I save €100s, maybe even €1000s in equipment and my losses are only 1/2lb of butter or 1/2 litre milk per year, living 30-60 nights/year in the van. I always carry a jump starter anyway for emergencies and it's only use to date has been helping someone else. The maths is easy, costs saved €100s per year, losses maybe €2 per year and less to go wrong, or catch fire.

@disa, Wire your inverter to the battery terminals. I would stay at 2000-Watts or less.

For now I just have 2 604 watt hour allpowers power stations. But in working on getting a system together. So far I've purchased a hqst 60 amp charge controller and a 48 volt 2500 power inverter. I still need son cables and breakers and a 48 volt lifpo4 battery with is about 1400 to 1500 bucks with tax

Greetings from Scotland! This excellent... These wizz, bang, wallop, battery packs from Jackery and others are nice. But when you are looking for more Wh's, we are into silly bucks country. Particularly in the UK. I'm not sure if these type of batteries are available to buy in the UK. But you have got me thinking. Thank you for sharing.

Wow. Thank you for explaining in such understandable language. I’m thinking of getting another battery. I use 2eco flow batteries with solar panels and it works pretty good but when it is cloudy sometimes I run out of power. I tried jackery but they charge too slowly. How do you power the battery charger?

Hi Sherry! You can plug the battery into a solar panel, or you can charge it with the charger plugged into power from a house or campsite.

similar to the box on the top of the battery ive seen YT reviews with what's called a DC Control Box by a Chinese co. called Licitti. You may get a few more watts (45) PD and 50 Amps input output but it has some nice features like a multi colored meter.

It also has the inverter and better charge controller built into the unit. Also, it is sized differently and I think you might be able to fit two of the new "mini" 100ah batteries into the battery compartment, doubling your capacity. It is probably a better deal overall. You should check out their website. They have several boxes that haven't made it to YT yet. I've ordered one of their products called a DC Control Box that I think will work well with the power stations I build. It's like a big remote control.

The battery does have the button on top where you can see the lights. You could also buy an inexpensive battery monitor that you could wire up that would have a screen.

Your charge controller will tell you when the battery is charged, but I do believe you need more exact readings of the charge remaining. My experience with 12 volt gauges is that the wires are too small to use with larger batteries - they melt! Enjoy your videos!

Nice to know about this option--thanks! Question: Could I plug a solar panel directly into the hub, or would I need to get a charge controller? (On the website I see that the hub only supports 100W, but I'm wondering whether it has a charge controller for that, or I'd need to supply one.) Thanks! Also, I'm guessing I'd need to supply some sort of meter, in order to know how much charge is left in the battery?
