Hello all,
It all started with me looking at off the shelf solar generators because I like to tent car camp. Finding Will’s YouTube videos has me going down a deep rabbit hole. At first it started with looking at things like Jackerys. Then it changed to building my own solar generator with off the shelf batteries such as SOK. Now it’s progressed to building my own batteries too. Darn you Will….!!!! where is the bottom of this rabbit hole?!!!! LOL. I have a degree in electronics engineering and am a journeyman electrician too so this kind of stuff fascinates me and it wasn’t hard to get me obsessed. I was unfamiliar and didn’t know what was possible with todays technology. It is truly fascinating to me. So now my simple Jackery to run a fan and charge my cell phone has morphed into why not have a 5000btu AC in my tent running off a solar generator at night? It is doable and will be totally cool when its accomplished.
