Hello!
I'm completely new, be gentle
As many, I've watched probably tooooo much youtube, and rather spending a whole year on youtube and looking for some answers, I thought better to ask people, who know what they're doing.
I'm looking to build my DIY power station.
So first a little background. As for the power station, I'm looking to equip it with the regular, power it mainly with my AC-DC charger at camp sites, and while driving for topping it up. Later in life, I want to hook up some solar power if needed for being completely off grid.
My needs aren't big. The biggest need is probably an induction cooker, used for max an hour a day. Then there are some LED lights, two phones, maybe a tablet, 12v refrigerator (50w), and an electrical scooter (20ah battery).
I know that a 100ah battery would probably suffice, but looking for a 200ah battery (2560wh), for wanting to maximize the number of days I can potentially be off grid, if I wanted to in the future. We probably agree so far?
And then I've stumbled on the YT channel of Will, and he gave me another perspective. Mostly budget wise.
Could this be real?
Do I understand correctly? A cell that is 300ah at 3.2V?
Combining 4 would then give me a 12.8V system, and 3865Wh?
For the price of 435$ or 513,56$ with shipping?
I understand I would need a BMS, topping it up to 650$, but thats way cheaper than a 400ah battery?
Is there a catch?
Then again, do I need it?
Thanks for all the help, I'm in a pickle.
