Hello
Yesterday my off grid inverter craped out on me and I immediately went online and purchased another one but it won't be here for a week or so.
Until then I have a Montek 1000 solar generator that I use for camping and I hooked the EG4 batteries into the solar input of the Montek which only has a small battery that would not run the critical loads in my house for vary long by itself, but with the rack mount batteries inputting 300 watts constantly it hasn't gone below 98%! And it runs freezer, fridge ,TV, lights, no problem even a small microwave if nothing else is on when heating something up. All with only 1000 watt inverter.
With the 4 Eg4 batteries and the battery in the Montek I have over 21000 watt hours of emergency power that makes all these small solar generators much more valuable and usful in a pinch.
Will is always complaining that he has no new subjects to cover in videos and I think this would be a excellent long term experiment to find out any problems that might pop up.
Right now the EG4 batteries are recharged by the charge controller and setup that was used with the old fried inverter but if you had a solar generator with 2 solar inputs like the Titan , you could plug a solar array into one SCC input and a rack mount battery set up like mine with its own SCC into the Titan's second SCC input which would keep the Titan topped off all night long or for them long winter days.
I'm sure that there are many different ways to expand these smaller solar generators usefulness with these less expensive rack mount batteries instead of the vary expensive expansion batteries.
Come on Will show us how and what not to do.
