Solar Generators
This section will be about the Generators I've been building to both power the solar tool shed, and for mobile use.
I built the first version with recycled lithium batteries that I did not understand the specifications for yet, and so, ended up with batteries with a too low maximum amperage output. This battery will still be used to power the shed, and anything with an amp load under 10 amps. A circular saw will blow the fuse in the battery.
The new version, run off a PowerQueen 12v battery with a 100amp BMS, and a 2000 watt RoarBatt inverter, has been found to run everything I've thrown at it so far, up to a measured 366 amp inrush draw. It can run both a corded circular saw, and a Rigid 10 inch corded table saw.
The first generator project started with a DIY 24v battery build with recycled modem batteries and modules from Jag35, Jehu Garcia's Sales front for DIY solar and battery projects.
The Ryobi Link Storage system would be our container...
Together and testing...
Made some modifications to the case supplied with the Jag35 kit
The Upper medium case fitting the Inverter and Charge Controller
Cutting in parts
Adding fans to keep it cool...
Meter and USB ports
Fan fitment
Wiring, fuses, and accessory fuse panel. Battery out on the right, and PV in on the left
90 amp XT-90-S connectors (no Spark... important)
