About

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. You can get more information on my website: https://off-grid-garage.com DISCLAIMER By watching these videos, you agree: All electrical work must be carried out as per your local laws, rules and regulations. Installations and setups shown in my videos are for test and demonstration purposes only and may not satisfy regulatory requirements.

Video Description

We are going to check the salty cells for their C-rating and measure the capacity while discharging with different currents. In a second step, I'm importing all curves into one graph to compare the voltage and capacity. I was kind of expecting the results. It seems these sodium cells behave very similar to Li-ion cells but differently to LiFePO4. For this, we compare the discharge curves at different currents between Sodium and LiFePO4.
