Hey guys, it's Brad from Bushcraft Ridge and we're back with more adventures of this battery, this solar system, the solar system. I love it. The solar power system, solar panel kit and the Jupiter power inverter I just got. Okay, so I was going to use the wires from the old inverter, but after reading the instructions I went ahead and ordered the two AWG American wire gauge, positive and negative. I got two foot of each for like $15 on Amazon and then the ground wire is supposed to be eight gauge, AWG, American wire gauge. For loading it on the vehicle, I just have it running down and clamped on to some unpainted, unrested steel from the frame and that's what I've grounded it to on the vehicle. And then I actually cut off this little connector piece, can't think of what those little things are called. This wire came with those already on both ends and this one I found at the house and just cut it off and it was already used so I didn't really get to crimp it. I kind of stripped the wire down, wrapped it around it, taped it all up and there we are. So when connecting this, consult the instructions, look for a professional help. I read the instructions and did it this way, I'm not telling you to do it this way. So if you shock yourself, that's on you. First of all, the instructions tell you to connect the ground wire, right? So eight gauge and this is specifically eight gauge, round wire, 25 feet. I think I got it for like nine bucks. I'll post a link to both of those two products in the description and I'll throw the Jupiter inverter on there again too. But it was like $250 on Amazon. I got it for $119 at Harbor Freight with the coupon. The instructions say connect the ground wire here and run it to ground. If you're doing a vehicle set up like this, you attach it to a piece of unpainted steel frame and there's like a little bolt hole inside there that I've got it on. I'm actually going to get like a battery cable clamp and crimp it on there. I just stripped the wire down and kind of wrapped it around that for now for this first test and hopefully it doesn't fall or come on done. So after I did that, then I connected this side first. The instructions just say then connect it to the battery. I connected these two first because in my old inverter, they were already connected to the inverter and then I ran the positive cable to the little bolt there, screwed it down and then ran the negative cable and screwed it down. So now when we flip this on, which I have not done yet, this should not blow up, but just in case I'm going to back up. Bye dad, we're going to Jacob. Okay, you guys have fun. Well, the power light is not on. I have flipped it on. Oh, no, we do have this little green light. I don't know if you can see. It doesn't say power level. Maybe that will tell me when I plug something in. I'm going to try this little craftsman chop saw. It says 7 amps, 120 volts. That's the heaviest load I could find just like, I couldn't find my circuit saw, which I think is, takes more amps than that. But anyways, so I believe the instructions say turn this off, plug this in, then plug this in. Okay, then turn this on. I don't, I see that light, but I don't see power level coming on. And then I'll just give this a little test. All right, that works. So that's the, like I said, that's the heaviest power draw thing I could find just really quickly. Yeah, that should be more than enough for the cabin, obviously, which I just have like right now an LED light and a box fan in there. So now that I can have power tools out there, I'll be able to finish the inside faster, moving up, siding and stuff. So that'll be, that'll be awesome. After I get it, um, insulated. But why, I don't know what this power level light is. Let me see if I can turn this on, leave it on. No, I don't see the, I thought it had a button where you could, like pull that and hold it on. Let's just get closer and see if that power light comes on. Oh, it does. Oh, yeah. So I see what's going on. Okay, I don't know how well you could see that on the video, but it showed starting amps, like the, the amount of power it took to get the thing turned on and then it dropped back down to show the amount of power it was pulling. I don't know if this power level, like if you fill all the lights up, that's the max. I don't think this little saw would require the 4,000 watt load. Who knows? I don't know. I'm not an electrician. Let's try it one more time. That's pretty high. I've been dropped back down to just two. So this would be a good indicator of, and again, when I'm, when I'm out there and actually using stuff, what am I going to plug in my CPAP machine, a light and a box fan, or if I get a ceiling fan put in, this is going to be, this, this, this is going to be more than enough to give me what I want. I mean, I can connect the, I guess I'll throw the solar panel back connection back on just to see what it's going to look like while it's running, while it's charging. So you actually connect the solar panels. You see, we got, we're a little bit cloudy today, but you, you connect the solar panels to the battery. It charges the battery. This draws from the battery to power your stuff. And right now it's just pulling from the battery. If this has a, I forget what it is, but it automatically cuts off if the power gets too high, if this gets too hot, if the battery gets too low, there are a bunch of safeties built in so that this thing doesn't hurt the battery, catch on fire, or hurt your appliances. Alright, I'll connect the solar panels back up and then come back for one last shot. I got the charge controller plugged back in. You can see the battery is at 12.6 volts. I'm going to go ahead and plug the solar panels back in. And that's going to start charging the battery back up. I don't have any output here, right? So these are some pretty big leads, some pretty big positive and negative wires leads. That would have called, I don't know. So I would not try to run those from this, see the two little bitty things down here, run those straight from the battery. And then see my wiring there. I know it looks junky because we're in the back. We're in the mobile power station right now. But I think you guys can see what's going on. Remember we can cycle through charge, over power, float, all of that good stuff. Alright guys, that's all I got today. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
