Also the rails conduct electricity too. So you can hover with the Hover Pack while near them.
Sharing in case anyone else also doesn't read the item descriptions like me :D
TLDR: for my dual battery/house battery bank, Iβm leaning towards the yeti 1500x, a dc to dc charger to charge off my truckβs alternator, and a few solar panels. my dc to dc options: the yeti vehicle link, redarc, or victron orion. redarc or victron would not pigeonhole me into the yeti lineup so Iβm leaning that way. it is also pretty hard to find the yeti vehicle link. Tell me what you think, I am open to outside influence.
Hey yβall, sorry in advance for the enormous brain-dump/reply, but I think it is a good synopsis of my research into off grid power needs. I am about to add house battery capacity to my tacoma. I also tow a tigermoth travel trailer with a 20 amp renogy mppt and a deep cycle agm. But this setup is for the tacoma. i may upgrade the tigermoth separately. I have been researching endlessly for the past couple weeks and this is my current state of thinking:
**Go custom**: Victron or Redarc components and 2 battle born lithium batteries ($1800-$3500 depending on # of batteries and components). Many of you have been discussing this option. its a really good choice.
**Pros**: Iβd learn a lot about the system, be able to fix anything that goes wrong, endlessly custom and expandable
**Cons**: labor intensive. expensive compared to bang for your buck battery capacity. system is stuck in the truck.
**Off the shelf power station:** Iβve narrowed it down to Yeti and Ecoflow. Both have good solar charging performance with their integrated mpptβs. both of the following examples are *roughly*equivalent to a 100 amp hour lithium battery with all the inverters and controllers etc in one neat box. One of these would be appealing for the times we want to take the unit out of the truck and station it in our 10x12 canvas tent.
Ecoflow Delta Max ($2k) is cheaper per watt hour and has incredible charging capabilities off AC power. it can charge in 1.5 hours: 1600 watts max off a 120v, 15 amp circuit. thing is, I mostly want to charge off solar and an alternator. my family will rely on free campsites and my goal is to stay off grid. fast charge is a really nice feature to have though. It would be really nice to know if I could charge it with a redarc dc to dc or victron orion. I called customer service and the person that answered the phone started a ticket for me. I suspect that you would need to get a mc4 to Anderson converter, plug that into the dc to dc off the alternator, and plug the other end into the solar input on the

From the look of it, the deal expires tomorrow but if you are looking for a backup alternative to your gas generator, which can also be used indoors, that's one of the best units on the market based on my research. You just need to use the coupon code AC300B300 on their website to get the discount.
I assume it's fine to run lengthy extension cords from it to power the router, etc. Anyone have any super efficient lights you like to attach to it for maximum battery life?
Will get some good alternatives used for shed lighting and camping accessory. Excited to get it.
Hi all,
Can you please check something for me. I have a load of wind turbines on a platform, some of which are also on a storage unit and I was expecting to see much more energy created from these. I know they only function when the wind is blowing but this screenshot was taken when they were running. Is there anything fundamentally wrong with this type of setup?
I also don't really understand they there's a solid yellow line between my Shelter and the platform. I had assumed I'd see an arrowed yellow line from the platform to the Shelter, showing that energy was passing from the turbines on the platform to the rest of the base.
If it helps, I was planning on having several of these types of platforms to power the whole base rather than lots of mini platforms connected to different types of equipment.
Also I'm early game and have not left Sylva yet.
ty in advance.
