Hello everyone,
I appreciate you taking a look at my post and any input you may have.
In short, I'm aiming to build a "small" DIY solar generator with the goal of making a unit that looks good, is durable and relatively neatly packaged to use a container. This is more of a hobby but would use it for occasional camping/RV trips. In watching Will Prowse's video on Chins, he seems to be impressed by it for it's price point but I find that the casing is quite large for a 100ah battery. Is there any reason I simply couldn't remove it from the case (such as he did in his tear down) and secure it in the DIY case I plan to use for my "generator"? It looks like there is a a few extras inches of foam all around and space will be at a premium.
I had planned to build my own 230ah battery until I saw how compact that Chins was especially with the BMS attached. My calculations show about $0.24 cents for DIY vs $.29 for chins. I may consider buying two, removing them from the package and placing them in parallel. Thoughts?
Thanks all!
