We’ve built a solar battery box. This portable generator will find a home in our Roof Top Tent Trailer to power lights and cooler …

For the price this is the best generator you can get!!
What would you do to keep a monitor on the batter level and if you went with a larger batter like a greater that 500ah battery, would anything need to change like bigger cords or different fuse box?
6:42 I think you'll find that the wire strippers work better if you turn the strippers around so you are gripping the wire side and pulling the stripped cover off with the cutting side.
I’m always a sucker for a good battery box. I love to make them and I love your layout
On lid put a small led light 😊
That was the best example of how to put something like together I have seen yet! Most videos just TALK about how to do it with pointing to the components, this was a legit build video! Thank you! Would like to see 110v outlet added to a set up like this, I have need for one, and various ways to set up charging it back up.
Thanks!
Turn the battery sideways you can add a 1000 watt inverter on top. 200 watt inverter is good adding a second inverter is great! It's better to have it and not need it, Then to not have it and need it.
where does the jackery box come in i'm so lost?
what about a charge controller so you dont overcharge the battery?
so you used a power generator for a power generator??? I'm not sure i Understand
If you could post a parts list that would be a huge help. Thank you in advance
I’d definitely add some type of power meter to tell you how much power is being used and how much remains in the battery. Nice box. I’d would build one like it.
Battery charger? You not always depend on the sun.
I want to build one of these, only use my 200 amp hour battery and my 2500 watt pure sine wave ac device. Things to add , wheels on the case for our aging back, lol
Love this built the most so far on Youtube. Could you please guide me how you connect all the cable or if you happen to have the map? Thank you
using this setup, how long will it last on a charge and with your solar panels, how long to recharge battery?
Have you had any issue with moisture or condensation on the inside?
For your iPhone, since apple doesn't do QC charging, you can get a USBC to lightning cable and that will tell the port to output 9 volts for faster charging. Great build!
Hard to find a terminal fuse block with an M8 battery connection. It's important to use the proper sized connectors.
🙏🏼🇧🇷🌱👍
😳🔋🤔😀
Nice video. The only thing I hve to add is do not bind any cable togheter to make it shorter/look nicer. If you bind it in a circle, it will drain energy during use.
I would have opted for Battery storage in the wheeled Ridged base box. and then a smaller one attached to the roof of the battery box for all the electronics…
Great build 👍Could possibly add an extractor fan and vent to remove any excess heat but with no inverter may not be necessary.
Is there any way to add a 110v outlet for a low power requirement? I just found a need to power a podcast station at a remote location. Thanks and I liked the DC setup!
Would it be hard to add something to show the battery levels?
Can you use used car batteries?
Can you use a marine battery as well?
QUESTION…..Will 2 of those 12 Volt Renege batteries fit into that box??
stop. using. amp. hours. to. measure. battery. capacity.
I guess one downside to this is that it's not fully capable PD because it can't do the 15v or 20v PD charging, like what you'd use for a laptop. Good for phones though.
Great video. can You post video on adding 500 watt inverter? Appreciated
Is there a reason for not adding a couple of 110 outlets to the outside along with the usb and 12v outlets?
Love it! In a similar fashion I used a Milwaukee toolbox for my ham radio and switches/plug ins for my atv front rack. Thanks for sharing!
Yes you can build these yourself quite easily. BUT consider these: 1# Costs, how much saving if u buy them components? 2# space. I doubt u can make it smaller/lighter. 3# testing, thermo management, etc. a manufacture product should have been tested throughly so piece of mind right there. Its fun to do but not practical nor cost saving.
why would you build this if your not installing an investor? its cheaper to just use a large power bank that can be charged from any solar panel.
Really like how you set yours up. I did a similar DIY solar generator and I used a big old Rubbermaid storage bin to fit just about all of the same components plus a 1200 watt inverter, MPPT, and some 12 volt case fans. So there’s a lot of dead space in mine
some 12V equipment can be sensitive to 14.4 of LiOn. Maybe put a 12.4V stabilized circuit somewhere
you forgot to put exhaust fan
Great job Mister….many thanks for this kind sharing…very useful for my new project….Ciao Nick from IT
I did something similar with a regular battery box. I use it for over night fishing and just general power needs. One thing I suggest adding is a small eagle eye light connected to a switch.
Great video. Best ive seen. Could you possibly add a wiring diagram to help with proper hook ups.
Thank you!
Very nice. I also plan to mostly use the inverter that comes with a pre-built generator. Can use DC from the big battery to recharge the generator that has an inverter if need be.
I would also add a volt meter just so you can tell when the battery is getting low
Cool build! Congratulations! Are you able to charge the battery via solar and discharge via inverter (AC output) at the same time?
How long will this run a Cpap using a 12v adapter cord?
