    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. Cheers

    While I cannot stand ASPW I thought I’d amuse myself and go watch the video…….

    Based on 2 years with my set up he is over complicating the setup…..on his simple/back to basics setup…..but just like his failed 79 build he is just throwing stuff at this build that he doesn’t really need.

    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 switching to Lithium 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.

    switching to Lithium

    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

    Those flexible panels switching to Lithium best thing I did was
    Throw the 4x100w ones away.

    Replaced by 2x115w Victron

    Far more efficient.
