I can think of several things he can do to drop the load on his Ecoflow batteries by 50 percent.

and get on the bike to charge up those batteries Hamster Style

​@@Nilz4FRlol. Hamster style.

Just like when I boondocks. You consume far less.

@@1polonium210 Then why bother with this at all. If you are willing to cook with propane, candles, etc., this is a lot of money to spend for little benefit in return.

Facts❤

Yeah, keep paying the utility companies profits…….

@@erichannes6392 LOL. Sure sparky. Get bent out of shape that resources cost money to use.

So, how many cycles can he do before he toasts the batteries? Would that savings offset their cist?

@@uploadtime1780 - The EF Delta Pro uses lithium iron-phosphate batteries, so a minimum of 4,000 cycles, even if he abuses the crap out of them. Probably twice that many cycles, if they are kept between 10% and 90% SOC.

@@jasonbroom7147 so say 6000 cycles or ~16 years. Hmm not bad

@@uploadtime1780 - You usually have calendar aging issues with most of the other components in your system, before the batteries need to be replaced. It's also worth noting that those charge cycles counts are typically to "80% of rated capacity". This means that after that period of time, or number of discharge cycles, the batteries still deliver full voltage, but they only store 80% of their original capcity. They're still safe and effective to use, although perhaps in a different application.

@jasonbroom7147 what's the weak link, i.e., shortest life expectancypart? If I were to use this type of setup in a weekend type place that doubles as a bugout?

This is why you should also have wind turbines as well. You should never ever ever only go off of solar. You could have an entire month of extreme clouds and rain and then what what are you do?

​@@ZxAMobile You go back to being a neantherthal. See what people don't understand is that when the grid goes down in end times. You wont be able to keep solar panels above ground looking all pretty smiling at the sky while a group of bandits is ransacking your house. In this case crank chargers radios and flashlights would be much more reliable. I rather connect the crank charger dyno to the wheel of a bike in a basement and charge what i need to charge and be able to be on the move. But to think in a future where there will be so much unrest and distress to think your gonna be above ground 100% of the time with the sun shining on you and your solar panels is just nuts. Hope this guy can invest in a small bunker with bunker beds with self suficient items.

@@MoneyBagArtsOfficial I hundred percent agree with what you’re saying people think that they are going to be able to walk around willy-nilly in a really bad situation. The number one thing you will never want to do is ever step foot outside for any reason unless you absolutely have to and you have exhausted every other option that requires you to go outside. I finished number three in America in pub G and my team won the national crew challenge, I would say this is the ultimate and most realistic survival game ever created and the number one advice I can give anybody is stay behind cover as much as humanly possible and try to be as hidden as humanly possible without moving at all. You should be using drones and mirrors to gain reconnaissance. You should never ever ever scout on your own. Somebody can literally send you to the shadow realm from 1000 m away in one second and people think they are going to be bartering with other people and walking around without getting robbed on a constant basis . People want to know how it’s going to be when that time comes just go in the most ghetto areas in America rn and then times that by 10 and let me know how that works out for you. Let me know if the whole bartering thing works out for you. 🤓🤣 I do believe, however, that all black, very low profile, solar panels can be hidden and used to power extremely low energy devices, such as 1 lm flashlights and peltor dehumidifiers to collect water out of air. Starting a garden is risky. I would recommend having 50 pound sacks of mylar split peas, lentils, beans, and other stuff. I would recommend at least 500 pounds or more. If somebody wants to start a garden, I would make sure it’s as low-key as possible and preferably only plant things like potatoes. Nothing that has obvious fruits like tomatoes or peppers growing.

@@ZxAMobile Cool yeah your on the same Page as a survivalist can see. Unfortunately many people whont be able to survive withing 6 months they will not go past that on their own. Preppers are few in between morally speaking i would say be kind to others as the fight is not against our own kind. Although it seems that way but yeah the bartering ideology gets pretty tricky say if you got aproached by a person asking you for food or to barter and that person is down to bait you with a group of folks acting like hooligans then thats game over for you. I would say that the name of the game is to play hide and go seek and cat and mouse as long as possible and stay as low profile as possible. But that would require building trenches eating roaches, Snails, Centapedes and Never going to far from fresh water. Learning how to camp, and hunt, and the basics of survival is key. Sling shots made from sticks and tire tubes to hunt birds, rats and edible forest animals is key. But many dont know that burning wood and Smashing it up into powder makes activated charcoil then can serve to detox your body off any toxins, filter water, and create a hazard mask filter. And it stores for ever. Still the mark of the beast will come way before any war breaks out as they say. Supposedly first the blackout happens, Then they crash the economy and then they introduce the mark in form of a chip and no one could buy or sell or eat. I rather personally eat roaches, snails, birds, mushrooms, centepedes, And small game and take my chances in the wilderness before ever taking any mark. But i get it many people dont understand that once you take it your left behind when heavenly father arrives to pick us up. Remember we will be spared from the wrath if we dont take it. But we will not be spared from the tribulation which comes before armageddon. So yeah believe, repent, share with others, and Try as much to not look at your own as the enemy. stay blessed! 🙏 Hard tac crackers is the way to go!

Plus you can also use pools to cover with grass and dirt and wood beams and convert them back into normal looking lawns. But that makes them a great ideal free bunker since they already have drainage. Just making sure that the surface of the lid of the pool is so well packed with so much dirt and grass and gravel and re enforced so well that when groups of people walk over it. They wont even know theres a bunky underneath. So long it doesnt flex or sound like your knocking on wood. And its super stable you have yourself a free bunker. And on the other side of the bunker dirt and grass lid you can wrap it with anything made from foil and aluminum paper to make it retain heat in the winter but also make it low profile. Its almost like a wallapy inground garden. But one with the drainage system in place and plenty of space to survive. I would grow food in the ground i would climb trees and use wire to tie planting pots high up on the trees where they get plenty of sun and water and Pull them down at night to harvest tomatoes, beans, and more. Also you can trap birds up there just add a little nest trap and you have some nice birds and eggs for dinner on a regular. Lol hey just saying we need to get creative. 😂😂😂🐵🐵🙏 Use grass to make a low profile suit. lol

whY?...just use 40 watt equivalent LED...they use VERY LITTLE power...are you still using incandescent?...shame!😅🤣😅

so that would be a total of $15000 in 4 batteries.....yikes. I will stick to propane generator.

@@wowreally594 batteries have been on sale a lot for $1800, your math isn't adding up.

I found out my blower on my fireplaces runs all the time, and it uses more electricity than running my propane furnace. I think I could get it run through the night, and recharge the next day, with few more changes to how I manage the loads.

Nice going EV that’s the future …

WTF? Who understands this?

@@sophiesnuffy2563 Smart people with experience understand this. Lamens need to do research and learn a bit of the basics, then they will understand what I am saying! I have an off grid solar system and have been making my own power for 8 years now. My solar solar system has all the power I need and is very reliable!

@@sophiesnuffy2563 😂😂😂😂 Teach university course in a paragraph! lady I would need an entire channel to teach it. Not a paragraph. But if you did your research like you tell your students. the information is there. You want me to do your homework for you! What I said before is tons of information. Pick it apart and research a bit.

do you know what parallel or series meas??? Its all actually very basic tell me where you got lost?

Like what 80 watts?

@@robertt9342 Good ceiling fans on low can use as little as 20 to 30 watts. I have 2 ceiling fans I run pretty much year round, one in the kitchen and one in the living room, usually on low, powered by a 375 watt Victron inverter connected directly to my battery bank as well as the lights in those and 2 other rooms all LED. Even on my lowest solar production days I get enough solar into the battery bank to offset the lights and fans without it hitting my low battery threshold for the inverter which is set to cut off at 15% remaining. Running both fans on low pulls about 38 watts. So 900ish watts for a 24 hour period plus whatever lights I turn on. Always worth it to spend a little extra for a more efficient fan, plus they tend to last a lot longer. I have that separate from my main inverters so if there is an issue with them or I need to power them off for maintenance I still have overhead lighting even during a grid outage.

Yes the fan represents the meter running turning your money into power company money .

Ceiling fans move an amazing amount of air with very little energy consumption. You are incorrect. And a battery operated desk fan moves very little air and is a piece of junk.

@@boblatkey7160 I agree and was taken aback by the comment that ceiling fans use a lot of electricity.
