Battery BACKUP for Home - DIY Step by Step

If you need battery backup you need $$$ The cost of the batteries alone is approaching 3K. Those are good batteries as is the Victron which is $$. All great products but be aware of the costs and time involved. It’s DIY if you have the $ and the ability and knowledge

Great idea EMP proof for your house

DANGER?
Have you got a solar powered lithium battery complex in your HOME?
Will the battery require additional home insurance owing to its propensity to spontaneously catch 'unquenchable' fire?

if cars and vans and buses can do it why won't 14.5kWh home lithium batteries one day do it? This danger should be addressed BEFORE a calamity happens surely?

I did this for my RV .. 3kw hybrid all in one POWmr, 468.00 + 2x 200ah lifep04 (469.00 ea) and about 90.00 worth of breakers and 8awg cable and connectors . 20amp power outlet .. and 1kw of solar panels 24v system .. under 2200 for the entire system

Great video and cool backup system. I was tempted briefly but... The cost of the 2 batteries plus the Multiplus II would be about $9000 (Can) with tax! Yes it would save me from having to run outside and start the generator and yes that could happen while I was away - but that would have to occur quite often to cost me $9000 worth of groceries. More disappointing is that it wouldn't power my 240v well pump. That would require the system in your split-phase video which would cost double, or 18-20k!
Also, if I added solar panels, the system would not sell back excess energy to the grid to provide net metering nor would it (if I understand the operation of the Multiplus-II) utilize solar power when the grid is active to reduce my hydro bill by powering the circuits from solar energy.

do you have a video like this but for RV's or food carts?

Great video. Just one question, inside the multiplus there is a separate ground terminal. What should this be grounded to?

your frigde is costing you a lot. 60 kWh per month average. that's insane. Mine consumes at most 18kWh/month.

dang what kind a fridge that takes 2kw in 2 days.

Exactly what i want to build for my house. What is your opinion of using a 5k sol ark since i would like to add solar? Just seems like easier way to go but will it hold up as well as the victron. Great video

No central AC tests? We've had 4 months of 100 +F degree days down here in TX. Some days we had power outages, I'm looking for a battery system that can last 3 days running a 3.5 ton central AC, fridge, some lights, charge phones, router and use PC/TV to pass time.

This is a great backup system. I really enjoyed your demonstration.

Is it 80% only when pulling from the batteries, or for all loads through the inverter, even when the grid is connected?

Thank you for your video or videos. They are very educational! As a DIY’r I can not learn enough! I am reaping my rewards for my efforts from guys like you! God bless you and God bless America !

Dumb question,Why always servoracks say is 100ah but 5.1kwh? Cause it have 4 -100ah batteries?

you have done good job for the installation, ❤

Do you have a video for doing a 200 amp, 240 volt system?

a wire diagram will be cool to make it easy for a unskilled do it yourself enthusiast
