hey what's guys back to the channel on hey what's guys back to the channel on hey what's guys back to the channel on that episode I want to talk to you about that episode I want to talk to you about that episode I want to talk to you about the victron pure sine wave Phoenix line the victron pure sine wave Phoenix line the victron pure sine wave Phoenix line of inverters in this one right here of inverters in this one right here of inverters in this one right here which is the Fenix 481 1200 meaning 48 which is the Fenix 481 1200 meaning 48 which is the Fenix 481 1200 meaning 48 volt 1200 model is probably the best one volt 1200 model is probably the best one volt 1200 model is probably the best one to get and I would highly recommend uh to get and I would highly recommend uh to get and I would highly recommend uh anyone looking at this type of inverter anyone looking at this type of inverter anyone looking at this type of inverter to get this one uh for all the you know to get this one uh for all the you know to get this one uh for all the you know reliability and also the capability reliability and also the capability reliability and also the capability issues that you get with this and also issues that you get with this and also issues that you get with this and also the benefit of being on the 48v platform the benefit of being on the 48v platform the benefit of being on the 48v platform uh because 48 volts you're going to find uh because 48 volts you're going to find uh because 48 volts you're going to find a lot of common 48volt batteries and a lot of common 48volt batteries and a lot of common 48volt batteries and because it's 48 volts and not 12 volts because it's 48 volts and not 12 volts because it's 48 volts and not 12 volts or 24 volt you can get pretty much the or 24 volt you can get pretty much the or 24 volt you can get pretty much the same amount of power using thinner same amount of power using thinner same amount of power using thinner cables right so you don't have to worry cables right so you don't have to worry cables right so you don't have to worry about thick cables you don't have to about thick cables you don't have to about thick cables you don't have to draw as much current you're not losing draw as much current you're not losing draw as much current you're not losing as much uh due to heat and resistance as much uh due to heat and resistance as much uh due to heat and resistance and ohms and all that kind of stuff and ohms and all that kind of stuff and ohms and all that kind of stuff right so if you're looking at the right so if you're looking at the right so if you're looking at the Phoenix line of inverters I would highly Phoenix line of inverters I would highly Phoenix line of inverters I would highly recommend you get the 48 volt model and recommend you get the 48 volt model and recommend you get the 48 volt model and also the 1200 VA mainly because you just also the 1200 VA mainly because you just also the 1200 VA mainly because you just have a lot more power capability right have a lot more power capability right have a lot more power capability right so we're going to be talking about this so we're going to be talking about this so we're going to be talking about this inverter and then we're going to be inverter and then we're going to be inverter and then we're going to be using this inverter to build this using this inverter to build this using this inverter to build this awesome power station which is really awesome power station which is really awesome power station which is really you know 5 KW hour power station with you know 5 KW hour power station with you know 5 KW hour power station with Bluetooth connectivity that allows you Bluetooth connectivity that allows you Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to connect to the inverter and the to connect to the inverter and the to connect to the inverter and the battery you can see all that's going on battery you can see all that's going on battery you can see all that's going on so if you want to know more about that so if you want to know more about that so if you want to know more about that stick with us stick with us stick with us so this right here is a victon energy so this right here is a victon energy so this right here is a victon energy pure S Wave converter and like I said pure S Wave converter and like I said pure S Wave converter and like I said this is the 48 volt model they do make this is the 48 volt model they do make this is the 48 volt model they do make this line of inverters the Phoenix line this line of inverters the Phoenix line this line of inverters the Phoenix line of inverters in 12vt and 24volt they of inverters in 12vt and 24volt they of inverters in 12vt and 24volt they also have other models like I I forgot also have other models like I I forgot also have other models like I I forgot what the models are maybe like a 300 500 what the models are maybe like a 300 500 what the models are maybe like a 300 500 800 or something like that but it goes 800 or something like that but it goes 800 or something like that but it goes up to 12200 VA and this is in volt up to 12200 VA and this is in volt up to 12200 VA and this is in volt ampers right so if you want to try to ampers right so if you want to try to ampers right so if you want to try to figure out what that converts to you can figure out what that converts to you can figure out what that converts to you can figure it out mainly because your power figure it out mainly because your power figure it out mainly because your power factor and depending on what you're factor and depending on what you're factor and depending on what you're going to use it for is going to be you going to use it for is going to be you going to use it for is going to be you know obviously different but in the US know obviously different but in the US know obviously different but in the US for most basic consumer electronics just for most basic consumer electronics just for most basic consumer electronics just assume that 1200 VA is somewhere around assume that 1200 VA is somewhere around assume that 1200 VA is somewhere around 850 Watts just assume that right it's 850 Watts just assume that right it's 850 Watts just assume that right it's not perfect but like I said it depends not perfect but like I said it depends not perfect but like I said it depends on what devices you're powering and all on what devices you're powering and all on what devices you're powering and all all kinds of stuff so somewhere around all kinds of stuff so somewhere around all kinds of stuff so somewhere around 850 Watts continuous and uh this 850 Watts continuous and uh this 850 Watts continuous and uh this specific inverter will be able to Peak specific inverter will be able to Peak specific inverter will be able to Peak up to I believe it was like 2200 Watts up to I believe it was like 2200 Watts up to I believe it was like 2200 Watts so if you need to start uh you know so if you need to start uh you know so if you need to start uh you know pretty decent size uh Appliance or pretty decent size uh Appliance or pretty decent size uh Appliance or electronic or tool you can get it electronic or tool you can get it electronic or tool you can get it started with this even if this can't started with this even if this can't started with this even if this can't keep it running all the time for keep it running all the time for keep it running all the time for instance uh this is able to start a instance uh this is able to start a instance uh this is able to start a compressor or depending on the size of compressor or depending on the size of compressor or depending on the size of your compressor and it with certain your compressor and it with certain your compressor and it with certain compressors I have but it won't able to compressors I have but it won't able to compressors I have but it won't able to keep it running so the sech capability keep it running so the sech capability keep it running so the sech capability of this inverter is awesome mainly of this inverter is awesome mainly of this inverter is awesome mainly because it's a low frequency Transformer because it's a low frequency Transformer because it's a low frequency Transformer based inverter so anyways point is this based inverter so anyways point is this based inverter so anyways point is this is a good inverter and they make all is a good inverter and they make all is a good inverter and they make all different models all right so let's get different models all right so let's get different models all right so let's get into it uh so this uh inverter I have into it uh so this uh inverter I have into it uh so this uh inverter I have mounted in this uh toolbx and this is mounted in this uh toolbx and this is mounted in this uh toolbx and this is from rigid uh no affiliation or anything from rigid uh no affiliation or anything from rigid uh no affiliation or anything like that this is a tool manufacturing like that this is a tool manufacturing like that this is a tool manufacturing brand in the US or a brand I'm not sure brand in the US or a brand I'm not sure brand in the US or a brand I'm not sure if they manufactur or hire somebody else if they manufactur or hire somebody else if they manufactur or hire somebody else right but it's a brand in the US it's right but it's a brand in the US it's right but it's a brand in the US it's made for to boxes and we have it mounted made for to boxes and we have it mounted made for to boxes and we have it mounted on this plywood um inside of this box on this plywood um inside of this box on this plywood um inside of this box just to keep it from swatching around just to keep it from swatching around just to keep it from swatching around this uh Power toolbox stuff here plastic this uh Power toolbox stuff here plastic this uh Power toolbox stuff here plastic isn't super thick so the idea was to isn't super thick so the idea was to isn't super thick so the idea was to mount it on the plywood so that the mount it on the plywood so that the mount it on the plywood so that the screws have a lot more bite to hold screws have a lot more bite to hold screws have a lot more bite to hold right so some people are going to say right so some people are going to say right so some people are going to say well you should have mounted on you know well you should have mounted on you know well you should have mounted on you know wood cuz it's flammable but you know you wood cuz it's flammable but you know you wood cuz it's flammable but you know you know I'm I'm just going to say do at know I'm I'm just going to say do at know I'm I'm just going to say do at your own risk if you mounted on fiber your own risk if you mounted on fiber your own risk if you mounted on fiber board you can do that but then it board you can do that but then it board you can do that but then it doesn't have a lot of holding power so doesn't have a lot of holding power so doesn't have a lot of holding power so you know pick and choose right so like I you know pick and choose right so like I you know pick and choose right so like I said this right here is the inverter said this right here is the inverter said this right here is the inverter mounted in there and it fits almost mounted in there and it fits almost mounted in there and it fits almost perfectly in here as you can see you perfectly in here as you can see you perfectly in here as you can see you have to press it down a little bit in have to press it down a little bit in have to press it down a little bit in order to get it to close but I am order to get it to close but I am order to get it to close but I am perfectly okay with that mainly because perfectly okay with that mainly because perfectly okay with that mainly because that holds the inverter tight right uh that holds the inverter tight right uh that holds the inverter tight right uh so that's awesome so uh most of you know so that's awesome so uh most of you know so that's awesome so uh most of you know if you have victron uh devices there's if you have victron uh devices there's if you have victron uh devices there's different kinds of victron communication different kinds of victron communication different kinds of victron communication protocols the one we have here in this protocols the one we have here in this protocols the one we have here in this corner is the victron ve direct corner is the victron ve direct corner is the victron ve direct bluetooth smart dongle bluetooth smart dongle bluetooth smart dongle and it connects to the inverter using and it connects to the inverter using and it connects to the inverter using the ve direct protocol so let me go the ve direct protocol so let me go the ve direct protocol so let me go ahead and get this this connected here ahead and get this this connected here ahead and get this this connected here will unmount this from the power system will unmount this from the power system will unmount this from the power system and then if you see here it's a and then if you see here it's a and then if you see here it's a Bluetooth dongle that's connected via Bluetooth dongle that's connected via Bluetooth dongle that's connected via this black this black this black wire uh to this location right here wire uh to this location right here wire uh to this location right here which is VE direct and let's talk about which is VE direct and let's talk about which is VE direct and let's talk about it right so on this side of the inverter it right so on this side of the inverter it right so on this side of the inverter it's very simple you have uh DC power it's very simple you have uh DC power it's very simple you have uh DC power positive in right right DC power positive in right right DC power positive in right right DC power negative right here and then you have negative right here and then you have negative right here and then you have the blue uh ve direct communication Port the blue uh ve direct communication Port the blue uh ve direct communication Port right here you have this Jumper in case right here you have this Jumper in case right here you have this Jumper in case you need it to you know remote control you need it to you know remote control you need it to you know remote control it and that kind of stuff and it has the it and that kind of stuff and it has the it and that kind of stuff and it has the grounding uh terminal right here and it grounding uh terminal right here and it grounding uh terminal right here and it has the LEDs right here power green is has the LEDs right here power green is has the LEDs right here power green is good alarm LED is red it'll go off in good alarm LED is red it'll go off in good alarm LED is red it'll go off in case you have you know uh you know like case you have you know uh you know like case you have you know uh you know like an overload or something like that and an overload or something like that and an overload or something like that and you can go inside the app to check you you can go inside the app to check you you can go inside the app to check you know what the alarm is and there's all know what the alarm is and there's all know what the alarm is and there's all kinds of alarms um that it can tell you kinds of alarms um that it can tell you kinds of alarms um that it can tell you or warn you about but it's pretty simple or warn you about but it's pretty simple or warn you about but it's pretty simple so it has three modes here on off and so it has three modes here on off and so it has three modes here on off and Eco and let's talk about that right so Eco and let's talk about that right so Eco and let's talk about that right so on means the inverter is on it's just on means the inverter is on it's just on means the inverter is on it's just powering uh it's just going to be powering uh it's just going to be powering uh it's just going to be converting DC power to AC power off is converting DC power to AC power off is converting DC power to AC power off is obviously off and Eco is interesting obviously off and Eco is interesting obviously off and Eco is interesting mainly because what it does is it kind mainly because what it does is it kind mainly because what it does is it kind of monitors the amount of power that's of monitors the amount of power that's of monitors the amount of power that's being asked of the inverter on the AC being asked of the inverter on the AC being asked of the inverter on the AC side and then when it crosses a certain side and then when it crosses a certain side and then when it crosses a certain threshold it'll kick the inverter on and threshold it'll kick the inverter on and threshold it'll kick the inverter on and start you know inverting the DC power to start you know inverting the DC power to start you know inverting the DC power to AC power and that's a very useful AC power and that's a very useful AC power and that's a very useful feature to have if you're not always feature to have if you're not always feature to have if you're not always going to be drawing power from this going to be drawing power from this going to be drawing power from this inverter so yes this inverter is very inverter so yes this inverter is very inverter so yes this inverter is very efficient but it still has an overhead efficient but it still has an overhead efficient but it still has an overhead where some of that overhead is you know where some of that overhead is you know where some of that overhead is you know kind of going to waste because it's just kind of going to waste because it's just kind of going to waste because it's just sitting on like idle consumption as as sitting on like idle consumption as as sitting on like idle consumption as as they call it right so you can use eco they call it right so you can use eco they call it right so you can use eco mode and you can set the threshold of mode and you can set the threshold of mode and you can set the threshold of what uh that where you want that to be what uh that where you want that to be what uh that where you want that to be in the app and then uh when it you know in the app and then uh when it you know in the app and then uh when it you know draws power it'll kick on so in certain draws power it'll kick on so in certain draws power it'll kick on so in certain situations where you're just using power situations where you're just using power situations where you're just using power sporadically you can just leave it in sporadically you can just leave it in sporadically you can just leave it in the on mode and then whenever you need the on mode and then whenever you need the on mode and then whenever you need the power the inverter will be on but if the power the inverter will be on but if the power the inverter will be on but if you're just using power let's just say you're just using power let's just say you're just using power let's just say every other minute or every five minutes every other minute or every five minutes every other minute or every five minutes or something like that you may not need or something like that you may not need or something like that you may not need that uh because you know just the that uh because you know just the that uh because you know just the constant cycle of on and off might be a constant cycle of on and off might be a constant cycle of on and off might be a thing but if for whatever reason you thing but if for whatever reason you thing but if for whatever reason you want this to come on only when um uh you want this to come on only when um uh you want this to come on only when um uh you need to draw a lot of power from it then need to draw a lot of power from it then need to draw a lot of power from it then that's what eco mode is used for right that's what eco mode is used for right that's what eco mode is used for right so this is pretty simple device on this so this is pretty simple device on this so this is pretty simple device on this side very few connections you don't even side very few connections you don't even side very few connections you don't even need this Bluetooth dongle uh if you need this Bluetooth dongle uh if you need this Bluetooth dongle uh if you want to just run basic but it's nice to want to just run basic but it's nice to want to just run basic but it's nice to have because you can look at how much have because you can look at how much have because you can look at how much it's drawing you can also you know set it's drawing you can also you know set it's drawing you can also you know set basic configuration like what threshold basic configuration like what threshold basic configuration like what threshold you want the ECO mode to be but like I you want the ECO mode to be but like I you want the ECO mode to be but like I said all you need is positive negative I said all you need is positive negative I said all you need is positive negative I have it connected to this eight gauge have it connected to this eight gauge have it connected to this eight gauge wire and this Anderson connector which wire and this Anderson connector which wire and this Anderson connector which connects to the battery under it and connects to the battery under it and connects to the battery under it and that's where we'll go next right so if that's where we'll go next right so if that's where we'll go next right so if you look at it on here uh you'll see it you look at it on here uh you'll see it you look at it on here uh you'll see it has in the US 120 volt receptacle if has in the US 120 volt receptacle if has in the US 120 volt receptacle if you're obviously in Europe and different you're obviously in Europe and different you're obviously in Europe and different places you have different sizes and this places you have different sizes and this places you have different sizes and this closes almost perfectly like I said in closes almost perfectly like I said in closes almost perfectly like I said in my opinion because you have to press it my opinion because you have to press it my opinion because you have to press it down to actually get it closed and in my down to actually get it closed and in my down to actually get it closed and in my opinion that's a little bit more ideal opinion that's a little bit more ideal opinion that's a little bit more ideal CU it keeps the inverter from trying to CU it keeps the inverter from trying to CU it keeps the inverter from trying to get dislodged or move around right so get dislodged or move around right so get dislodged or move around right so here you go pretty simple basic this is here you go pretty simple basic this is here you go pretty simple basic this is where the battery is and the battery is where the battery is and the battery is where the battery is and the battery is also connected with this Anderson also connected with this Anderson also connected with this Anderson connector 8 gauge wire uh there is a connector 8 gauge wire uh there is a connector 8 gauge wire uh there is a breaker that I've installed here uh breaker that I've installed here uh breaker that I've installed here uh mainly to completely isolate um the uh mainly to completely isolate um the uh mainly to completely isolate um the uh the connection from the battery even the connection from the battery even the connection from the battery even though the battery has a bin BMS and though the battery has a bin BMS and though the battery has a bin BMS and breaker but uh for my instance I just breaker but uh for my instance I just breaker but uh for my instance I just wanted a hard breaker that could wanted a hard breaker that could wanted a hard breaker that could completely isolate the connections right completely isolate the connections right completely isolate the connections right so that's how that goes I know it looks so that's how that goes I know it looks so that's how that goes I know it looks like it's on but I have installed mine like it's on but I have installed mine like it's on but I have installed mine upside down mainly because of where the upside down mainly because of where the upside down mainly because of where the line and load ter terminals were so we line and load ter terminals were so we line and load ter terminals were so we can open can open can open this and this is an this and this is an this and this is an eg4 uh waterproof battery so this eg4 uh waterproof battery so this eg4 uh waterproof battery so this battery I believe I got as a refurbished battery I believe I got as a refurbished battery I believe I got as a refurbished battery and I can't remember how much it battery and I can't remember how much it battery and I can't remember how much it was like 700 800 bucks something like was like 700 800 bucks something like was like 700 800 bucks something like that refurb and it's like a 2-year that refurb and it's like a 2-year that refurb and it's like a 2-year warranty versus you know the their warranty versus you know the their warranty versus you know the their standard warranty but it's a waterproof standard warranty but it's a waterproof standard warranty but it's a waterproof battery I believe it's designed to be battery I believe it's designed to be battery I believe it's designed to be used for like Marine applications and used for like Marine applications and used for like Marine applications and golf carts and stuff like that and golf carts and stuff like that and golf carts and stuff like that and because of those golf cart applications because of those golf cart applications because of those golf cart applications it can actually uh do a continuous it can actually uh do a continuous it can actually uh do a continuous output of about 200 amps so it's great output of about 200 amps so it's great output of about 200 amps so it's great so if you need more than just one so if you need more than just one so if you need more than just one inverter you could just get one of these inverter you could just get one of these inverter you could just get one of these batteries and you know connect two three batteries and you know connect two three batteries and you know connect two three four as many as you need to get that four as many as you need to get that four as many as you need to get that going mainly because the Phoenix going mainly because the Phoenix going mainly because the Phoenix inverter at least the 1200 VA model the inverter at least the 1200 VA model the inverter at least the 1200 VA model the 48 volt one will draw up to I think it 48 volt one will draw up to I think it 48 volt one will draw up to I think it was like 30 amps or something like that was like 30 amps or something like that was like 30 amps or something like that right so you can get more of those right so you can get more of those right so you can get more of those inverters to One battery but for the inverters to One battery but for the inverters to One battery but for the sake of this we have this battery sake of this we have this battery sake of this we have this battery negative terminal positive terminal the negative terminal positive terminal the negative terminal positive terminal the positive goes into this breaker here positive goes into this breaker here positive goes into this breaker here right and then breaks that connection right and then breaks that connection right and then breaks that connection and then all it does is connect via and then all it does is connect via and then all it does is connect via Anderson power connector to that right Anderson power connector to that right Anderson power connector to that right and this Anderson power connector is and this Anderson power connector is and this Anderson power connector is really awesome because these power really awesome because these power really awesome because these power connectors can take a lot of amps and connectors can take a lot of amps and connectors can take a lot of amps and it's almost dummy proof it's idiot proof it's almost dummy proof it's idiot proof it's almost dummy proof it's idiot proof you can't install It reversed right so you can't install It reversed right so you can't install It reversed right so check this check this check this out if you take this here if I can get out if you take this here if I can get out if you take this here if I can get it on the component right there I'll it on the component right there I'll it on the component right there I'll show you this this is the positive show you this this is the positive show you this this is the positive negative right here positive negative negative right here positive negative negative right here positive negative right so this way it works perfectly right so this way it works perfectly right so this way it works perfectly because that's designed to go in it because that's designed to go in it because that's designed to go in it snaps right but for some reason if snaps right but for some reason if snaps right but for some reason if you're like drinking too much it is you're like drinking too much it is you're like drinking too much it is impossible to connect it in reverse uh impossible to connect it in reverse uh impossible to connect it in reverse uh because of the design of the of the because of the design of the of the because of the design of the of the shape and the connection you can't do it shape and the connection you can't do it shape and the connection you can't do it only way to get it done is that way and only way to get it done is that way and only way to get it done is that way and this system will lock together like that this system will lock together like that this system will lock together like that on both sides right and then it is a on both sides right and then it is a on both sides right and then it is a pretty solid uh Power Station that is pretty solid uh Power Station that is pretty solid uh Power Station that is ready to go uh and this is I would say ready to go uh and this is I would say ready to go uh and this is I would say highly capable because for whatever highly capable because for whatever highly capable because for whatever reason if you wanted a second inverter reason if you wanted a second inverter reason if you wanted a second inverter like this you just add that on on the like this you just add that on on the like this you just add that on on the top of here you lock that into place and top of here you lock that into place and top of here you lock that into place and then you have two of those inverters uh then you have two of those inverters uh then you have two of those inverters uh and you can make it modular so if you and you can make it modular so if you and you can make it modular so if you just need one you just take the one you just need one you just take the one you just need one you just take the one you need the two you take the two and need the two you take the two and need the two you take the two and because it's on Wheels it just rolls because it's on Wheels it just rolls because it's on Wheels it just rolls everywhere you need it to go so let's everywhere you need it to go so let's everywhere you need it to go so let's talk a little bit about this entire talk a little bit about this entire talk a little bit about this entire system right so the first time we built system right so the first time we built system right so the first time we built this we used the uh E4 3000 uh evh Allin this we used the uh E4 3000 uh evh Allin this we used the uh E4 3000 uh evh Allin one inverter to do that but it didn't one inverter to do that but it didn't one inverter to do that but it didn't fit in here which was a little bit of a fit in here which was a little bit of a fit in here which was a little bit of a disappointment U but that one had had disappointment U but that one had had disappointment U but that one had had out say a lot more upgrades mainly out say a lot more upgrades mainly out say a lot more upgrades mainly because that one was 3,000 Watts it also because that one was 3,000 Watts it also because that one was 3,000 Watts it also was an all-in-one so it could charge the was an all-in-one so it could charge the was an all-in-one so it could charge the battery and it could also it it could battery and it could also it it could battery and it could also it it could charge the battery from wall outlet or charge the battery from wall outlet or charge the battery from wall outlet or it could charge the battery from solar it could charge the battery from solar it could charge the battery from solar this is really just a dummy Inver it's a this is really just a dummy Inver it's a this is really just a dummy Inver it's a smart inverter because you have smart inverter because you have smart inverter because you have connectivity but it's a straight up connectivity but it's a straight up connectivity but it's a straight up inverter all it does is take DC and inverter all it does is take DC and inverter all it does is take DC and converts it to AC you cannot charge the converts it to AC you cannot charge the converts it to AC you cannot charge the battery uh with this system you'd have battery uh with this system you'd have battery uh with this system you'd have to get the you know a dedicated battery to get the you know a dedicated battery to get the you know a dedicated battery charger to charge it but you also have charger to charge it but you also have charger to charge it but you also have have the Anderson connectors you know have the Anderson connectors you know have the Anderson connectors you know just plug it in and charge it and that's just plug it in and charge it and that's just plug it in and charge it and that's the thing that you need but uh for just the thing that you need but uh for just the thing that you need but uh for just straight up you just need portable power straight up you just need portable power straight up you just need portable power somewhere uh this is very ideal to have somewhere uh this is very ideal to have somewhere uh this is very ideal to have because it is quiet and it's highly because it is quiet and it's highly because it is quiet and it's highly reliable had no issues with this reliable had no issues with this reliable had no issues with this whatsoever the main reason that we've uh whatsoever the main reason that we've uh whatsoever the main

uh toolboxes and it's easily rollable so uh toolboxes and it's easily rollable so uh we recently went to a movie on the lawn we recently went to a movie on the lawn we recently went to a movie on the lawn type system or place event and then they type system or place event and then they type system or place event and then they had I think it was three or four had I think it was three or four had I think it was three or four inverter generators like one inverter inverter generators like one inverter inverter generators like one inverter generator on the right side speaker PA generator on the right side speaker PA generator on the right side speaker PA another one on the left side and then another one on the left side and then another one on the left side and then one for where they're running like the one for where they're running like the one for where they're running like the projection and the computers and stuff projection and the computers and stuff projection and the computers and stuff like that so uh just being there it was like that so uh just being there it was like that so uh just being there it was I would say a little bit of a I would say a little bit of a I would say a little bit of a disappointment mainly because you can disappointment mainly because you can disappointment mainly because you can smell the uh gas or the fumes from the smell the uh gas or the fumes from the smell the uh gas or the fumes from the generators and even though they are generators and even though they are generators and even though they are inverter generator inverter generator inverter generator um you can still hear them on like quiet um you can still hear them on like quiet um you can still hear them on like quiet scenes right and you know what it seems scenes right and you know what it seems scenes right and you know what it seems or sounds like to be around generators or sounds like to be around generators or sounds like to be around generators especially if there's like three of them especially if there's like three of them especially if there's like three of them all right it was a bit of a all right it was a bit of a all right it was a bit of a disappointment so that kind of inspired disappointment so that kind of inspired disappointment so that kind of inspired I'll say me to make U this system uh I'll say me to make U this system uh I'll say me to make U this system uh from the yellow 3000 watet to this one from the yellow 3000 watet to this one from the yellow 3000 watet to this one mainly because this is completely silent mainly because this is completely silent mainly because this is completely silent there's nothing and it's 5 kilowatt there's nothing and it's 5 kilowatt there's nothing and it's 5 kilowatt hours right so I don't know how much you hours right so I don't know how much you hours right so I don't know how much you know those powered speak speakers or know those powered speak speakers or know those powered speak speakers or stuff like that's going to be that that stuff like that's going to be that that stuff like that's going to be that that you need right but it's I I I'm sure you you need right but it's I I I'm sure you you need right but it's I I I'm sure you could get through a movie with 5 kwatt could get through a movie with 5 kwatt could get through a movie with 5 kwatt hours right per one of those so if hours right per one of those so if hours right per one of those so if you're using you know you just need you're using you know you just need you're using you know you just need portable power anywhere you know if you portable power anywhere you know if you portable power anywhere you know if you just make three of these two of these just make three of these two of these just make three of these two of these whatever you could probably even just whatever you could probably even just whatever you could probably even just share you know uh run Extension Course share you know uh run Extension Course share you know uh run Extension Course to the other side and you would be fine to the other side and you would be fine to the other side and you would be fine right but like I said that's kind of right but like I said that's kind of right but like I said that's kind of what inspired it but I have used this a what inspired it but I have used this a what inspired it but I have used this a lot on the job site to run this lot on the job site to run this lot on the job site to run this uh dust extractor because the dust uh dust extractor because the dust uh dust extractor because the dust extractor sometimes uh when you're let's extractor sometimes uh when you're let's extractor sometimes uh when you're let's say doing drywall sometimes they don't say doing drywall sometimes they don't say doing drywall sometimes they don't have energy inside that place right so have energy inside that place right so have energy inside that place right so dust extraction uh will work fine and dust extraction uh will work fine and dust extraction uh will work fine and also using an air cleaner uh while also using an air cleaner uh while also using an air cleaner uh while you're doing some of that works really you're doing some of that works really you're doing some of that works really fine portable power 5 Kow of power to go fine portable power 5 Kow of power to go fine portable power 5 Kow of power to go perfect right you could throw this in perfect right you could throw this in perfect right you could throw this in the trunk if you need to it's kind of the trunk if you need to it's kind of the trunk if you need to it's kind of heavy to throw uh because the battery heavy to throw uh because the battery heavy to throw uh because the battery but if you have a trailer roll it onto but if you have a trailer roll it onto but if you have a trailer roll it onto the trailer roll it onto the trailer you the trailer roll it onto the trailer you the trailer roll it onto the trailer you could use it to charge all your you know could use it to charge all your you know could use it to charge all your you know power tool cordless batteries your power tool cordless batteries your power tool cordless batteries your lawnmower batteries or whatever because lawnmower batteries or whatever because lawnmower batteries or whatever because this is a 5 KW hour battery so you will this is a 5 KW hour battery so you will this is a 5 KW hour battery so you will be good to go when you're done come home be good to go when you're done come home be good to go when you're done come home charge it overnight go out next day gold charge it overnight go out next day gold charge it overnight go out next day gold not too many issues right so like I said not too many issues right so like I said not too many issues right so like I said this is a very reliable system I really this is a very reliable system I really this is a very reliable system I really do love this system um and if I had any do love this system um and if I had any do love this system um and if I had any recommendations for like say victron is recommendations for like say victron is recommendations for like say victron is that I need them to make a 48 volt let's that I need them to make a 48 volt let's that I need them to make a 48 volt let's just say 2,000 VA Phenix inverter that just say 2,000 VA Phenix inverter that just say 2,000 VA Phenix inverter that would be awesome because there are maybe would be awesome because there are maybe would be awesome because there are maybe a handful of tools that this thing will a handful of tools that this thing will a handful of tools that this thing will not run um even though it can power it not run um even though it can power it not run um even though it can power it on like I said for like a compressor on like I said for like a compressor on like I said for like a compressor right it can get it started but it won't right it can get it started but it won't right it can get it started but it won't be able to keep it powered because be able to keep it powered because be able to keep it powered because there's too much draw so if they can there's too much draw so if they can there's too much draw so if they can make a 2,000 VA system even if it's just make a 2,000 VA system even if it's just make a 2,000 VA system even if it's just a tad bit wider but you know keep the a tad bit wider but you know keep the a tad bit wider but you know keep the height the same that would be perfect height the same that would be perfect height the same that would be perfect all right so um if you had any questions all right so um if you had any questions all right so um if you had any questions you know let me know I hope
