What do you do to keep the power flowing?

Nothing fancy since we prepared to expand later. Most of the money went towards a 6KVA inverter and Victron BMS system with some hefty breakers on both the battery and plug size.

Batteries are 120Ah 3.2v LiFePo4 (8 in total) to give us around 28.67v feeding into a 24v Inverter which gives us around 2880 Watt hours of usage. Being safe at only using them at most to 70% discharge we get around 2100 Wh of usage.

The plan is to double it up to give us around 4200 worth of storage but hasn't gotten to that yet, will probably end up selling the batteries down the line with the BMS and everything then pick up a pylontech when possible.

Any reason you not looking at other brands such as the Hubble AM-4?

Seeing plenty of people recommending them lately, so just need to take a closer look at those units.

I agree on the Ecoflow range. But like Zolly said different use cases, quick charging distinguishes it from most other brands.

I would like to see what is on the market in a year or two, portable power stations might be like what the cellphone became.

I agree there, just depends on the use case . . . 80% back up to capacity with in an Hour is insanely quick, Hopefully with them more manufactures adopt this in the portable ranges.

I bit the bullet a few months ago and got 1 for my Deye 5kw unit.

Im quite happy with it as well. Didnt even feel loadshedding at home for this past month
