View ChannelAbout
Taking your house, shed or garage 'off-the-grid' is a very exciting thing to do. On this channel, I share my experience and thoughts of taking my garage offline, disconnecting it from the power supply and run it solely from solar and batteries (for teaching and testing purposes). We will do a lot of testing here on the channel, batteries, cells, BMS, electronics, solar charge controllers and even panels. I will explain how everything works in a beginner friendly way. We will also do smaller side projects to break things down and make it easy to understand. So no previous knowledge or experience necessary to build your own solar-battery system.

Video Description
We are testing the huge MB56 battery from Yixiang with supposedly 34kWh of stored energy! Before we can do the capacity test, I had to fully charge this battery and this alone was a bit of a challenge. Because I set the BMS wrong, it took over a week to charge it from solar. At 09:08 I show you how to automatically top balance this big battery just with the JK-BMS and an adjustable power supply. Very simple and convenient. I also believe, this is the fasted way to balance a new battery. I then had to come up with a way to use both inverters at the same time to get a discharge current of around 100A. There was a bit of setup necessary to get there, but eventually, it all worked out. We also measure the loss at the fuse and breaker at 100A as well explore the battery with an infrared camera while discharging.
