Mate St Pierre White has a very recent video testing induction on Lithium with amp hours measured etc. Cheers. PS. Just looked at the vid posted a few posts above and that is a lot more detailed than ASPW 's but his uses more basic equipment. CheersQuote:

but I see he has badgered the market and got some sponsorship. I see he has dropped amptron and Renogy, I think that who he used to promote. So I guess while it’s not costing you anything throw it in but he is not really doing a build for his subscribers.
I’m doing everything he wishes to do. We’d easily cook the same meals using less power than that manged to consume…..
And he didn’t really show/share actual power consumption. We didn’t see the end percentage after breakfast and fridge running all night, they also used a microwave (to cook a pie [emoji51] of all things)
Oh he didn’t explain the other 1/2 of his hybrid system……given the size of his electrical build he defiantly doesn’t need gas.
Yep, as you mention, the other video is way more informative using way less equipment…….
I’ve certainly learnt a lot in my journey…….getting a better handle on it now.
Just confirm how useless his video are….considering he is self proclaimed overland expert.
Safiery do a lot of good stuff these days with lithium, induction cookers, victron gear etc....worth a look.
Well that’s a video I’ll never get to see… [emoji56]Quote:

Arrived at 11am, now 6pm, been cloudy and raining on and off all afternoon.
Semi flex solar has kept up and ensuring we’re at 100% at the end of the day…..

great set up Weeds.
With less than six weeks until departure it’s time to install some new solar panels……
The current flexible panels are doing fine with 3-4 years service and in full sun everyday. If only they were still available.
I have 3 new ones on order, hopefully they arrive in time. 3 x 120’s will certainly keep the lithium battery topped up given we will be demanding a bit more from it.
I was up close and personal with the existing ones today……at first glance they were looking a little tired.

But the controller suggests differently

New solar panels have arrived……..
3 x 120’s
Just waiting on the 2nd box with some connectors and I assume the core flute and double sided tape.

Those flexible panels [emoji22] best thing I did was
Throw the 4x100w ones away.
Replaced by 2x115w Victron
Far more efficient.
