hello hello thanks for tuning in all right today we're going to test the true capacitance
of the zooms 200 amp hour life pro 4 battery this is hooked to 600 watts of solar
and it's at 3.44 right now which is right at 100 so we're gonna go ahead and turn the amp meter on
and we'll set it up 200 there and you see it zeroes out we'll go ahead and flip the breaker on
it also zeroes out i'm gonna get the kilowatt meter set up on the plug and we're going to run
two deep freezers off of it but generally per day they pull about a kilowatt per day so these things
can pull up to 30 amps at a time the pure sine wave inverter itself pulls around one and a half
to two amps constantly so we'll have to factor that in also let me get everything hooked up
all right we're gonna turn the inverter on and then turn the loads on now to be
fair i did run the compressors on high just for a few minutes on shore power
and we're gonna set both freezers to medium
alright you heard the inverter click off gonna be drawing about an amp and a half
and the battery volt is at 13.43 which is 100 99 to 100 so there's that one and a half amp
draw we're gonna go turn the freezers back on all right both freezers are on
the compressors are not running right now it's 117 volts no amps no watts yet
60 hertz and no kilowatt hours yet because nothing's running we've been running for one
minute so we're gonna let this thing run over the next couple days because we're supposed to have
good weather and really put this zoom's battery to the test and we'll check it every couple hours
and see how much kilowatts we've drawn down and we know how much amperage the inverter is
going to pull by itself so we'll factor that in based off the hours in the kilowatt meter
all right we're at the kilowatt meter we are drawing 1.27 amps
or 79 watts at 60 hertz if you see there we've been running 20 hours
at 770 kilowatt hours so we've brought in more kilowatt hours than we've expelled today so we are
charging and we'll have to factor in the inverter loss as well so we'll do that in
a couple hours right around the 24 hour mark we'll get everything in and see what happens
all right we've been pulling down the zoom's battery for about 24 hours straight now
that's that constant background draw we're sitting at 12.28 off the battery which
would put us i'm sorry 13.28 which will put us above 70 somewhere between 70 and 90. and if
you see here it shows we're at 99 it's the end of the day we'll look at how much we brought in
about 1.2 kilowatt hours for the day so we'll take a look at the kilowatt meter and see what we got
all right we're here at the kilowatt meter and as you see we've pulled down
almost one kilowatt of energy it's 930 watt hours still doing 60 hertz
nothing really on the uh compressors they just turned off 118 in the volts so i'll
get everything written down on paper so we can kind of look and see what we got
all right it's the start of the second morning just after 9 a.m
you see we're bringing in 17 watts 1.2 amps the battery is at 13 volts
so we had a battery minimum of 12.10 battery max of 13.0 we've done one amp hour so we'll
let it charge today and see how much it goes in and continue on with this battery testing
all right it's 10 36 we're bringing in just under 6 amps 326 watts the mpp stepping it up to 22 amps
we are at 13.5 which technically is fully charged but we know that it needs to go into absorption
we are in mppt charge mode and the record for today is 150 watt hours 12 amp hours
max charge was 400 watts minimum voltage 1210 max was 13 8 so let's continue to charge
all right it's just after 12 30. still pulling that constant load 13.62
which will put us over a hundred percent state of charge we're bringing in about
we'll bring over 500 watts in 13.90 on the charge controller 35 36 amps charging
and right now we've brought in 51 amp hours or 600 watt hours let's go check out that
kilowatt meter and see what it says okay we've been running 43 hours and 25 minutes
we've taken down 1.65 kilowatts so that would be 1.650 so 1650 kilowatts we brought down
so in the past two days we've actually charged more than we've used on the um load side but
we still got a factor in loss in the inverter side so let it keep going and see what we get for today
all right it's 12 42 we're still bringing in over 500 watts 35 amps and we've hit boost charge mode
it's at 14 volts so the battery is sucking in the last little bit of energy to top it off
all right just after one o'clock we're drawing down 12 amps we are at 13.49 13.50 which would be
fully charged if you see here we're still bringing in 200 watts 13.6 in the charge controller 20 amps
and we brought in just under a kilowatt let's go check out the kilowatt meter and see what it says
all right we're just over 44 hours of running
1.650 kilowatts 60 hertz we're pulling down 84 watts 1.33 amps ac 115 volts
so it's still doing very well we'll come back and check at the 48 hour mark
all right we're nearing the end of the second day 48 hours the inverter is drawing down we
are at 13.33 which will put us right at 90 to 99 if you see there 13 2-0
and for record we brought in 1.1 kilowatts 87 amp hours let's go take a look at the kilowatt meter
all right 47 and a half hours in we've pulled down 1.83 kilowatts 60 hertz nothing on
so yeah it's doing really well we'll let it keep going
okay it's 6 19 the sun has set we are at 13.16 off the battery which will put us right at about 40 to
70 percent somewhere in there the compressors are running on both the freezers it's pulling 25 amps
and we'll look at what we brought in today sitting at 13 volts on the charge controller
we brought in 11 45. so a little less than yesterday i believe yeah a little little late
excuse me a little less than yesterday so let's check out the kilowatt meter
all right we've been going 49 hours drawn down 1.9 kilowatts
drawing 133 watts 1.75 amps at 114 volts ac
so we'll let it run till tomorrow and see what happens
all right it's 8 41 the next morning this is going into the third day so it's been about two
and a half days it's been running 18 watts we're bringing in 13 volts right now look at the record
the low was 1210 the maximum battery voltage was 13.0 we've done one amp hour so still doing good
all right it is around 10 a.m
this has been about two and a half days we're running on zoom's battery 13.07 13.8
we are drawing down about 14 amps
it is very cloudy out today it's 10 o'clock
see 13 on the charge controller only bringing in about 70 watts 5 amps let's see the record
for today 5 amp hours 0.6 um 0.064 kilowatt hour so not much energy today battery minimum was 1210
the max was 1310 so we had a volt in between so if we're sitting at 13.08 on the meter
we'll be between 30 and 40 percent right now so hopefully we can get this up let's go look at the
kilowatt meter all right we've been going almost 65 hours drawn down 2.56 kilowatt hours 60 hertz
uh we're pulling 61 and a half amps i'm sorry watts 0.59 amps at 114
so it's been going quite some time now
we'll let it keep going hopefully today we get some break in the weather
and these things charge up all right it's 12 noon
we're still pulling down some amps there about 17 amps into the inverter 13.19
which puts us right at about 70 percent battery it's very overcast today as you can see
1 10 to 120 is the wattage we're getting in only about 8 amps of charge 13.10 on the battery from
the charge controller about 22 amp hours we've seen a high battery of 13.4 so the compressors
are running on the refrigerator right now that's why the battery is a little low hopefully we can
get enough charging today and see in tomorrow because we got some bad weather coming in
all right we're coming up on three days now with this zooms battery being charged by 600 watts of
solar there's that constant inverter load we are at 13.19 which puts us right at about 70
and you can see 13 right there today was an overcast day so we didn't bring in much
55 watt hours i'm sorry 55 amp hours is really all we've seen today point seven
hundred kilowatt hours let's go look at the kilowatt meter and see what we got
all right we're wait right at 71 hours 70 hours 55 minutes so almost three days 2.83 kilowatts
so it's done very well over the last three days like i said it hasn't been perfect weather today
but it did charge up to about 70 80 somewhere around there you can't really tell what the
life pull four batteries is hard so i would say this is definitely definitely a good buy
so i hope this helps thanks for watching please subscribe
