It'll be a long day to do a second take. I advise going to a local park and offering free coffee. Attracts attention, less waste. 🍻

So..... When is the 4wd supacentre coffee machine coming out?

I think the pointis well and truly made that the lithium battery is fantastic. What about induction cooking, running a fridge and a couple of camp lights camping for two days. Will the battery cope?

Absolutely it will! We ran a dual zone fridge for 17 days (and nights) with our 300Ah Lithium without charging it! It was sitting on the back deck the whole time - copping that afternoon sun! Cheers, Cahn

Good video can you make more like this

What pod machine is that might need to grab an inverter

If you didn't have anyone to drink the coffee to why didnt you just leave a single pod in for the whole experiment? Or even run it without a pod.

And we were worried making a couple of coffees a day 🤣🤣🤣

Next test, try setting it up with a meter to show the draw on the battery as well.

@4wdsupacentreAu I was pretty surprised it managed to make that many. Lithium is definitely the way to go for 12v. If you can justify the additional costs. My next 12v will be.

Hi there, While it can depend somewhat on which unit you're powering, however a 200A Lithium battery, 200w solar blanket and premium MPPT would set you up with a solid basis that you can also power most set ups from. Regards, Andrew

I thought I calculated my solar system correctly but I was way off. I have a 12v 150 Ah lithium battery with a 24V 250w solar panel that powers a fridge and some small extras including a 300w inverter. I'm always at 90-100% SOC which I heard is bad for the battery? Should I limit the charging or disable charging completely every now and then? If I disable charging from the victron app, does that damage the solar panel? I know that the cells in the battery balance themselves at around 100% SOC but as long as I keep track of them, can I keep the battery around 50-80% (by limiting charging or shutting down the charging completely every now and then)?

@4wdsupacentreAu

11 ай бұрын

What battery chemistry? If it's AGM 90 to 100% is good! If it's lithium you could/should be able to adjust the final charging voltages (and float voltage) and reconnect voltage This means the charger won't charge as high, and will let the battery cycle lower before starting to charge again. It's worth taking a look at the manual and seeing what's possible. Cheers, Cahn

Hi Team, I know this is an old video - but i am after a bit of advice. I purchased 2 x 100ah kings lithium batteries (max continuous discharge is 100A each) which i plan to run in parallel through the 1500w inverter. Am i correct in thinking that if in parallel the voltage stays the same (e.g. 12v) - but the total max continuous discharge should double to 200A?? therefore comfortable powering the 1500w inverter?
