Be interesting to see whats inside one, but the Kings video advert says they have Grade A Prismatics in them. Since it's your mates, taking it apart isn't and option, and I think you might get weird looks if you take it to the airport to ask them to run it through the X-Ray ;) I plan on getting two of these since you can run them in series and use them to keep the essentials going at home during power outages, and use them with a 24V inverter/24-12V stepdown for the radio gear (got my ham ticket). Essentials like gaming rig, internet router, entertainment system, and the microwave :)

Of course something is going to cut out. If you was using 3000w from your 3000w inverter it would be pulling around 260Amps when battery voltage is at 13.5 volts and amp draw will increase as voltage drops. The continuous output rating of the Kings battery in question is nowhere near capable of powering a 3000w inverter to its full potential. Using their own ratings they're not even up to using a 1500w inverter to full potential either. Even if it could run a 3000w inverter the cable from battery to it should be rated to carry that amperage which is equivalent to needing 0000B&S cable for the interconnect.

Not when you look at the CCA rating of your standard starting battery. CCA = Cold Cranking Amps. Most 4cyl cars use something like a 500CCA, much more than the discharge AH of these. Plus, if you cobbled together 4 in parallel just for argument sake, your poor alternator would let it's magic smoke out rather quickly, as the battery would be looking to recover it's discharged AH instantly, with low rev engine (idle), the internal alternator fan cannot cool the windings and can cause premature failure of the charging circuit. That and the heat inside the engine bay is not ideal for lithium.

Hi, I have a kickass 3000 watt inverter and 2 x 100amp lithium batteries and the inverter seems to struggle a bit, you suggested in the video that a 3000 watt inverter needs like 2 x 200 amp batteries, why is that, am I needing to upgrade my batteries?

@EFFICIENTSELF

Жыл бұрын

I suggested to have 2 x of these batteries for a 3000watt inverter cause these batteries have continuous output of 150 amps so when your batteries are connected together in parallel there will be a discharge of 300amp of continuous power . So depends on how much continuous discharge your 100 ah batteries have is why you would be having problems. If your 100ah batteries are 100 amps continuous discharge you could get a third one to connect with the other 2 to give that extra power … if your 100ah batteries only have a 50 amp continuous discharge you would need another 4 similar batteries to get the discharge you need to run your inverter flawlessly…also I recommend you purchase thicker cables as a minimum of 70 sq mm cable to connect your inverter to your batteries as the cables supplied with your inverter are a bit undersized (welding cable is great) I’m not a professional it’s just my opinion only from experience and do your research and Watch lots of videos as people usually point out their mistakes to help you avoid making them.

@EFFICIENTSELF

G’day mate I just checked the specs on the kings 200ah battery and they will output 200 amps continuously. If you run the 3000watt inverter under full load it’s gonna need more than 200 amps example 3000 divide 12.8 is approx 234 amps …. The most you would run would be 2500 watts so you would run a full sized household 2400 watt kettle . If you require the full 3000 watts of load from your inverter it would pay to purchase an additional battery and connect the 2 batteries parallel (so positive to positive and negative to negative) this way will give the batteries 400amps continuous output . I have my 3000watt inverter connected to 3x 200 ah batteries with 300 amp fuse fitted on 70mm sq cable. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching 👍🍻

Look at the continuous discharge rate of the Kings 300Ah and say it's good for the price.

Discharge current too low to make a judgement.... You should be discharging at 180A. I use a 2400W heater.... Lets see the capacity then............ BTW the drill isn't 750W when its just running like that unloaded....

i turned my kings 50 lt fridge on and put a lsab of water inside, and cranked it up to -18 for 24 hours and using Renogy monitor batty drew 5 amps for whole time and had 64% i think it was.. very happy with mine, i also have a kings 120ah battery too

Sorry but this is a very weak battery you, have, not only did it not cut-off at 10.0v which would have been 2.5V / cell the absolute minimum but you went well into the 9's so you are damaging your cells. This could be a defective BMS that over drains the cells. Secondly the cells are clearly grade B as they are not even able to maintain 3.2V nominal, your total watt-hours were 2458. This should have been 2560 Watt-hours (12.8 x 200). So adjusted at 12.8V your actual capacity is 2458 / 12.8 = 192 AH.

100%. I was thinking the same thing

Can someone help me here I have the kings 3000watt inverter and are about to buy batteries I will Also need to have 12v with this set up Do I buy 2x 200amp and wire them in series or parallel and feed 24 volt to the inverter as I’m going to be using a small air compressor, Microwave and other small Tools one at a time If I do it at 24v how would I then get a 12 v supply ??

@EFFICIENTSELF

I’m pretty sure the kings inverter is 12v so you would have to wire batteries up in parallel so you won’t have any issues running 12v … if it was 24v system you can get a step down converter converting 24v to 12v and you can run 12v gadgets off that . Hope this helps in someway. Thanks for watching 👍🍻

the battery can handle it for sure but the question is the discharge time will be limited only to 8 mins, it can't run for long

He first demonstrated it has a 200 amp hr capacity, the peak power he demonstrated using was 170 amp hrs (with kettle, toaster and drill running simultaneously. So the fully charged battery could do this for an hour and ten minutes before being dead flat. However, battery has a max continuous discharge rating of 150 amps. If you limited your use to the 150amps the battery would last for 1 hr and 20 minutes (running kettle. Toaster and a bit more). And they claim you can do that 2000 times. Which would be doing that once every day for about 5 1/2 years straight.

A well done test! Congratulations! I have a question: can you use it to jump start a 2.5 boxer petrol engine (Subaru Outback)?

Testing capacity should be done to about 10v with C/20 to C/10 rate. Why did the BMS & load allow discharging

And when will you tell us of the critical issues of Lithium batteries, BMS Hibernation and Storing them for some time and "waking them up again " No one talks about this issue and it is a MAJOUR concern. It is the dead pool of the tech.

cheers mate . your battery will have 120amps continuous discharge (can run approx 1500 watt inverter) and I think you might mean maximum charge would be 50 amps ( so you can charge this battery with a 50 amp battery charger) sorry just having a guess by what’s written as you have both maximum discharges. hope this makes sense. thanks for watching 👍🍻

Turn it off completely. It's there to protect the battery, but the BMS does that with a battery like this.

A bit much for only 2,000 cycles

190ah @ 11volt then 200ah @ 9volt??? Nothing will. Work that low in voltage 🤦. Anyway those lithium are so cheap because the battery cell aren't as good as other used in different brand... We can just say they are made from scrap cells 😂 and this is why every new lithium battery from deason brand comes with 5 years replacement warranty while they're only with 2 years.
