Emergency DIY Solar Powerpack Build

I think this battery bank could be hardened fairly easy as well

Don’t ndertud wy call generator to a battery bank wen ir dont generate pawer it storage the power or energy thats it In tha case the solar panel is a generator to replenish and store the energy

Very informative thank you!

I would like to buy some where to and can I make this for e-bikes n scooters

Awsome

🙏🏼🇧🇷🌱👍

❤ that's actually really cool 😎 thanks for sharing

Power has been planted

great vid. The only thing i keep thinking is that the brass standoffs should have heat shrink over it to avoid accidental shorts.

you make things easy bro!
kudos to you creation

Do you sell the 18650 in lots or loose and how much are they ?

😇🥰😍🤗😊💚💛💙💪👍🙏

I love this power pack. I keep coming back to this awesome show on jehugarcia just you made this so easy to learn and understand. I am also a home DYI kind of guy and living in the islands with power outages during harsh weather lately made me think of investing in a power bank and because I can see with a lot of thought and what you put inside is the only reason I keep coming back. mahalo

That's incredible. I don't have the confidence to build this like this but I'd love something 1/4 that size for my ice fishing gear!

can this battery be connected to the inverter??

Why make this when you can buy em cheaper

Thanks

Thanks for the video. I really like the pelican case idea. I would replace the car battery conductors with a EC5 or XT90 output though. It inspired me make something similar probably with a DC-DC stepup-down (for variable DC output), 12V Cigaret Ligter, PD input-output and maybe a small inverter. However in 2022 Lifepo4 batteries are much cheaper like 1,200wh is CA$430 (half the price of your battery pack system) and these batteries can charge/discharge in much higher current. I would replace the BMS and batteries with a single Lifepo4 pack. Industries change so fast these days.

I am not that electrical inclined but I have a bunch of Ridgid batteries for my drills and other tools. I would like to hook these up into a power box. I have mostly 4 and 6 ah 18 volt batteries. I was thinking about 6 battery packs/power box. all the same power pack whether it is 4ah or 6ah. Have you done something like this or can you help me build a box with these? I just found your video so I will look at other videos in your selection. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos. The big reason to use these power packs is they are life time warranty. I built a portable power supply for my fish finder but that is the extent of my electrical knowledge.

Loved it! The idea, the technique was easier than I expected, and it's just great with my ideas for cell phones being solar as well!!!

Very nice. Can it be done in a 12 volt configuration?

How did you or could you reduce the volts from 24 volt to 12 volts devices. Great idea

Is there a way to find your products in Europe?

Hi

Could anyone share github/schematics link?

amazing build bro

Would you produce these with lifepo4 batts?

Looks good

Where will I get dose kind of battery

Lol all I need is one for a small water pump in a 3 to 4 ft tall water fountain through the night. But this is awesome

this is no cheap solution

would you by anychance have the wiring diagram?

Hi, I need some advice. I've built this box almost exactly as you show except I've used a different solar charge controller. However, when I plug the leads from the yellow connector that is plugged into the BMS board to the solar charge controller there is absolutely nothing being displayed. But when I connect the solar charge controller to the corner connectors (the + and - screws in the very corners of the board) the controller lights up and passes electricity to the load. What am I doing wrong as I'm worried that doing this will not recharge the batteries when I connect the solar panels to the controller.

Nice setup all of your videos are good. you did the right setup and design keep up the good work.

It doesnt make sense that you need to spend $449 + $56.10 for a battery pack. You can buy these much cheaper! Not really DIY if you want to save money!!!

Horrible background-music.

OMG amazing kit well done!

Where can we buy these ?

How does the BMS manage the individual cells in a multi modular battery

Do you happen to offer this setup in a 4s 12v version?

A homeless person's "wet dream.". Ya, I wish...

AWESOME BUILD AS ALWAYS! Ive been following you since the VW bus EV build and Ive NEVER been disappointed. For the last 11 years Ive lived in Cape Town South Africa conducting several projects all centered around helping people. (ALOT OF HELP IS REQUIRED ASAP) What I would like is to use your modules and components to build a pack for low cost to people who need a solid safe system that is super affordable. Power goes off three times a day and that is standard. So Tall order I know but I have NEVER backed down in 11 years... so um yeah Im into this. Do you, would you, ship to South Africa? Gracias Homie and may the force be with you.

Incroyable! J'aurais aimé les instructions en espagnol.
Ce sera mon projet pour l'été. Ayuda porfavor!

Hi, can you tell me if it is possible to connect the Meter and USB plugs straight to the BMS as I already have a solar charge controller fixed to the wall so it would be external to the Solar Powerpack.

nice design with stacking I'm working on stuff as well. wonderful job

It’s hard to admit how ignorant I’ve been, and all the while was comfortable. I had seen packs like this and just discounted them to fad status, makes me feel pretty, well, dumb. Up to now I’ve had gas generators and was very comfortable, but now, not nearly so much. I don’t like feeling as ignorant as you’re making me feel, but am glad to be awakened to all the new , to me, avenues. I’m way behind, but willing to try catching up. Thanks for the eye opener

how about heat? no vent or in/out fan. lazy to back read on all comments.

May as well stop wasting people's time with this video since nobody can buy these.
