MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted June 24 I built a solar generator with two Chins lithium 280AH bats and all the workings. Victron solar controller with inverter. I can run the whole camp and barely dent it. runs starlink , laptop, TV, lights, boat battery charger, coffee grinder, wife’s hair dryer no problem. top info guy on YouTube is Wil Prouse. He brakes these things open and reviews them. He’s the best. And no they are not all the same for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeardownAZ Report post Posted July 23 Well tried the battery for about 5 days and it seemed great. One trip is not telling by any means but so far, it seems good and I can say if it lasts 3-5 years, definitely better then lead acids. It got charged not out of necessity but because the generator got plugged in for use of other stuff. It took charge quick. I did change my trailers converter/ charger guts to a Lithium/auto detect version. I think i could've gone easily the whole trip with no charge just using lights, water pump, charging phones etc. Usual boondocking stuff. Having an app to see the charge is pretty handy too. Overall, its positive to start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
