That is very similar to what I am having built with a few differences. My units are designed for outdoor use. The Bluetti unit cannot ride in the bed of your truck. For in vehicle charging their unit requires an additional inverter be purchased. That wouldn’t be an issue for me because I have...

It is a sealed lead acid battery that weighs about 70lbs for $700 that takes 24 hours to recharge. I’d say there are many much better options available.

That is very similar to what I built for my first attempt at feasibility of the concept. The only thing that I did different from you is the size of the wire run from the battery and the Anderson plugs. I only used 6AWG and 60 amp fuses. My BCDC is the 40 amp model and at full power it only...

That is what got me to this point. I did build my own system with 2 100ah batteries and it works but it takes up too much bed space. So I asked around and found someone who can mold the box and install the components into a smaller package. All that with a two year warranty. Why wouldn’t I say...

They are very similar to the ones that I am looking at as well. They are manufactured by AlpiCool in China. And before we bash Chinese stuff we have to remember that the Chinese companies just build what the buyer wants. You can find AlpiCool with a no-name Chinese compressor or an AlpiCool...

What type of fridge are you looking for? I am also working on that front too. I love my Dometic but it was just too darn expensive so I am working with a supplier to build them at a reasonable cost with LG compressors. I will not know the cost on them until next week either. One of the...

Yes it is voltage regulated through the BMS to provide a very stable power supply the nominal voltage is 12.8V. The main reason for me going on this quest was to power my Dometic CFX95DZW. amps x volts = watts so these systems will be rated for a minimum of 1200 watt hours. I will also...

The charger that I am talking about is not just a DC input. it is a DC-DC charger that allows the smart alternators on modern vehicles to charge at the proper voltage regardless of the input voltage. I just checked on both the Goal Zero and the Jackery websites and leaned that both of those...

And the largest Jackary is less than half the capacity of my smallest unit. Also I forgot to mention in my previous response was that mine is a true two battery system for your truck. I could also add a 175 amp Jumper cable system so you could use the second battery to jump start the truck if...

The main difference that comes to mind right off the bat is the DC-DC 30 amp charger. It takes a Goal Zero forever to charge via AC and the maximum amperage you can put into the system through the 12V plug is 10 amps. Also my system will be designed and engineered to work in the bed of your...

The "smart" technology can make us look pretty stupid sometimes can't it?

I won't say much about my batteries here but I would be glad to answer any questions anyone may have. I also have a thread running over in the member marketplace and a feedback thread in the Overlanding and Camping section for a new project an investor and I are working on...

I am working on creating the ultimate outdoor lifestyle power system. I have a thread over in the overlanding section that I am asking for feedback and suggestions if y'all have any. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/ultimate-overlanding-and-camping-power-source.32843/

I am working on creating the ultimate outdoor lifestyle power system. I have a thread over in the overloading section that I am asking for feedback and suggestions if y'all have any. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/ultimate-overlanding-and-camping-power-source.32843/

I am working with a manufacturer to create what I think is the ultimate power system for overloading, camping and encompassing the entire outdoor lifestyle. What I have envisioned is a 12V power supply similar to the ArkPak with a few major upgrades to the system. My system will come with...

I ordered some AlpiCool coolers that I am going to test. I envision myself building power systems and coolers for campers, Jeepers and anyone else who wants a killer setup. I have two 75L dual zone coolers ordered that will be here by the end of the month.

Every single over the road truck, train, heavy machinery runs a turbo setup. The only difference is the fuel and the addition of a spark plug. Ecoboost engines are no more complicated or any less reliable than the turbo Diesel engines. Diesel still lasts longer because of reduced rpm but I bet...

X-plan is voluntary for the dealership. So they do not have to honor it until demand drops. One of my friends owns a Ford dealership in Georgia. He is a friend and my daughter and his son are dating. So as long as she can keep it together I will get a good deal. I am currently working on a GT500...

Boom! I was really surprised when Ford released the 7.3 rather than an ecoboost V8. I have a suspicion that it is because an ecoboost V8 would perform too close or better than the $10k option 6.7 Powerstroke. My argument is not that the V6 is better than the V8, it is that, in midsize trucks...

Physics are physics and the number of cylinders has absolutely no bearing on the power output. The power output is a direct calculation of energy in-efficiency losses. In theory two engines of the same design, one a V8 and one a V6 the V8 will have approximately 33% more efficiency loss. But in...
