Awesome job! That is the most imposing looking portable I've seen anyone build here. Mine would run screaming at the sight of it.View attachment 17960
Solar & mains charging. Multi outlet.
Removable lid becomes large light output.
40ah Valence LiFePo4 battery.
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.
Yes, that usb meter pulls a really tiny amount. About 0.2 watt. .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.
Does your relay get hot? Mine got so hot I didn't use it. How do you like the battery?
[/QUO
no it doesnt get hot. just slightly warm too touch.
The battery TBH is great. couldnt ask for more as it was free. ideally would have liked 2.
Very cool! what size ammo can?
I have a similar version where the voltage display and power switch are sealed, even though not necessary for my office.
