95% complete. Mini portable power station 40ah

More pics please.

Lets see the plug covers and the top off!

I can see USB plugs and cigar lighter plugs but the rest?

Awesome job! That is the most imposing looking portable I've seen anyone build here. Mine would run screaming at the sight of it.
I love the light lid. That's a great idea that I plan to steal from you. Thanks for sharing.
 
Nicely done!

I love the USB ports that have a voltage monitor, very handy. The type C socket is a nice addition I had not seen before.
 
thanks for kind comments.

What i like is the water resistant cover on the USB voltage moniter as its translucent so even when covered the voltage is displayed. This bypasses the on/off switch so is always displayed and functional even when powered off.

That's one heck of a great DIY build. I too like the translucent cover. I noticed it in your previous photo. Did you measure how much current the meter draws? I am sure it's very little.

Yes, that usb meter pulls a really tiny amount. About 0.2 watt. .

The 100 amp relay however is pulling 2.5 watt ~ About 0.2 amps without load.
 
Does your relay get hot? Mine got so hot I didn't use it. How do you like the battery?

The battery TBH is great. couldnt ask for more as it was free. ideally would have liked 2.

I have a similar version where the voltage display and power switch are sealed, even though not necessary for my office. I removed the USB cover.
