Off-Grid PC gaming

[2525252525]

I'm driving a gaming PC with a 100ah 12v lithium battery with a SPS-600 pure sine wave inverter (Only 600w), so to keep things light weight, I'm looking at minimizing electricity use so I can get the most out of my battery.

My specs:

LG 27 inch 4k 60Hz freesync monitor (praised for low power consumption)
Logitech desktop USB speakers.
Cooler Master Gold Rated 550W Modular PSU
MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max
Ryzen 5600G (Standard cooler)
Asus Dual RX 6600
16GB 3200 RAM
2xNVME drives (installed on Mobo)
1xSSD (in case)
Xiamoi Smart Tower Fan 2 (Yes I spent almost R2000 on a energy efficient fan, lmao, pulls only 15W!!!)
Long standing lamp with LED bulb


All of this I'm running through a smart power plug which can read power draw.

Running a 4k video on Youtube, with all of the above switched on and working, I stay under 100W (Would give me roughly 12 hours of continuous use on the battery)

Running a high demand game like Squad, with all of the above switched on, I get around 260W (would squeeze roughly 4-4:30 hours out of the battery. You can extend this obviously by playing less demanding games.


I also have two 160w 12v solar panels in parallel which extends use dramatically throughout the day when the sun is out.

Fairly certain if I add two more Lithium 100ah 12v batteries I can run my pc gaming entirely off-grid.

Pretty good power usage!

RX 6600 is really great on power draw!

Only think will tech lower is is gaming laptop. MY rtx 3070 laptop only pulls 180watt full tilt.

Add another battery and maybe more panels for daytime use?

Free bump.

How is the SPS-600 going for you? Was considering getting one for myself. Is it loud when discharging/charging/idle?

Try keep within 10% - 90% charge range, and you'll have a decent long lifetime out of that battery.

Good for not getting Dead Acid.

lol, it's loud, just move it around and away if it annoys, reliability and performance is 10/10 though, it's way more military spec than consumer, haha, so won't blow you away with looks but will blend into the background in terms of reliability and functionality, easy to open up and clean as well.

I have seen some of the other local brands etc, won't name names, but after a year of getting my SPS-600 I got my parents a local cheaper one, 6 months later the thing sounds like it's choking to death, SPS-600 just keeps on trucking.

Starting to think that if you take care of the SPS-600 (run it at 50% max capacity, clean it, etc) it'll die after you die, lol.

I'm tempted to mod some Noctua/Be Quiet fans into it, it's a very straight forward device.
