00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Today, I have a red Odo Group twenty four one

2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery, and normally I

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>do a capacity test on these batteries. But I've done

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>a capacity test on red Odo before and had great

5
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 1>results with both their fifty amp Hower and their one

6
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred empower Mini. So today we're going to do something

7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different. I'm going to test usage with

8
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 1>it hooked up to a three thousand watt pure sine

9
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 1>wave inverter. We're going to turn some stuff on and

10
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 1>see how far we could push it. Okay, this is

11
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the one hundred amp hour RG twenty four red Odo

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 1>battery that they sent me and wanted me to do

13
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>more testing on twelve hundred and eighty WA hours you

14
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>can see right there, and this is my three thousand

15
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 1>watt pure sine wave inverter from Renergie. I've actually had

16
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>this for a couple of years. My original intent was

17
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>to install this in the back of my truck with

18
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>my battery box that's sitting right there. A lot of

19
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 1>updates coming to that battery box, working on another video

20
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>for that right now. Well, but my original intent was

21
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 1>to put this in here and have it running all

22
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the time, or have it available all the time. But

23
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>it's just you see how massive it is. See how

24
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>big it is right there, And then the battery box

25
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>is there, and I could technically fit it in there

26
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>if I wanted to, but I wouldn't have as much

27
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>room for other stuff that I want. So I'm gonna

28
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>back up and regroup. I'm gonna do something with this,

29
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 1>or just don't know what yet. Anyway, I got all

30
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>this hooked up right here. We got some one ODT

31
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>gauge wire connected with the battery. Here. The battery is

32
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>at about ninety eight percent without downloaded the app. We

33
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>could see right here, ninety seven percent. It's ninety seven percent. There.

34
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Capacity is one hundred point five amp hours. But here's

35
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I don't really like so much. Turn

36
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the inverter on and I've got my client tools meter

37
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>on this thing here. Oops, let me turn that off.

38
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Almost messed up. And while the inverter is on by

39
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>itself with nothing else running, it's still drawing about two

40
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>and a half amps an hour. So I was. I

41
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>had an overland show about two years ago and I

42
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 1>met a guy. We were talking about inverters and whatnot.

43
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>And battery power and solar and all kinds of stuff.

44
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>And I told him that I had this this inverter,

45
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, why do you need a three thousand

46
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 1>wat inverter? And I'm like, why not? I mean, why

47
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 1>not get the biggest one you can three thousand watts

48
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 1>is basically the biggest inverter you can get for a

49
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>twelve vault system. You can get a six thousand or

50
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>seven thousand watt inverter for a twenty four volt system,

51
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of goes up from there. But he's like, well,

52
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I had a three thousand watt and it kept killing

53
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>my battery, so I traded it in for like a

54
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand or twelve hundred watt. And I'm like, why would

55
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>your Why something's beeping at me over here? We've turned

56
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that off right now. I don't know what that was.

57
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Why would your inverter draw power if there's nothing running

58
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>from it? And I thought that was strange. I plugged

59
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>this inverter in. I connected it to the battery via

60
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>one OT gauge wire before I plugged anything into it,

61
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>and I turned the inverter on. Now, the inverter's got

62
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 1>an internal fan and it's got an internal it's got

63
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a light that comes on. But two point five amps

64
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>per hour is what it's telling me it's running, and

65
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>or two point five amps anyway. I don't know if

66
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 1>that's per hour or not, but I'm like, there's nothing running.

67
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Why do you need that much power to sit and

68
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 1>stand by? So it seems to me like the inverter

69
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>should have some sort of sensing switch that shuts itself

70
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>off and kicks itself back on when something is plugged

71
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>into it. I don't know. I don't know much about inverters.

72
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm still kind of learning, but more experimenting is needed. Okay,

73
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>so something was beeping at me a minute ago. I

74
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>turned everything off. I've got this thing says that it

75
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>has a remote with an RJ eleven and a USB

76
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>plug says remote, right, Actually, that's probably for that. So

77
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you probably plug a remote in here and you turn

78
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 1>it on remote power, and you can power it off

79
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and on remotely. I don't know if it's a wireless

80
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 1>remote or if it's a wired remote that goes in here.

81
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 1>You have to run a wire into the cab of

82
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>your truck or in your van or wherever you're gonna

83
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>install this. But that might be something that I do

84
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for later, because if I'm gonna use this, I probably

85
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>won't want it running all of the time and drawing

86
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>two amps. This thing turned off, it's got a time

87
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>out on it and pulling two and a half amps

88
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>just you know, for no reason at all. So I

89
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>probably don't want to do that. Okay, So here's what

90
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do. This inverter is capable of supplying more power,

91
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>then this battery is capable of outputting, which is fine.

92
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>That's does totally fine, no problem. That's the purpose of

93
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>today's test and experiment. So I'm gonna turn my I've

94
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 1>got my heat gun. I've got a skill saw over here,

95
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I've got my reciprocating saw, and I'm gonna show you

96
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 1>something cool about those saws here in a minute. And

97
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>then I've got my big monster ecoflow delta pro battery,

98
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>which if you plug that in and turned on, it

99
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 1>draws about twelve or thirteen hundred watts just and so

100
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>in other words, it draws more wattage then the battery

101
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>is capable of supplying. So that's gonna shut it down

102
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>here in a second. But you can you can also

103
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>adjust that in the software of the ecoflow. So I'm

104
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 1>gonna turn my heat gun on here and we're gonna

105
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 1>look at the meter and see that it's drawing about

106
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty amps right now. No problem there, everything's cool, drawing

107
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>about thirty amps. And now I'm gonna take this. I

108
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>want you to watch this. I'm gonna I'm gonna pull

109
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the trigger on this skill saw. But I want you

110
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to watch that meter as I do it. You see

111
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 1>it jump up to like fifty or sixty amps when

112
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>I do that. If you ever heard of an air

113
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 1>conditioner that has an easy start or a graceful start

114
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>or something that's the same thing. So I'm gonna I'm

115
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 1>gonna pull the trigger and hold it now. So that

116
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>saw is only that song only needs about about eight

117
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 1>or ten amps to actually run, but it needs like

118
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty amps to kick in. I thought that was I

119
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 1>figured it would require a little bit more amperage to

120
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>kick in. But fifty amps while it's running at eight amps,

121
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was a bit number there. So okay,

122
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 1>so we've got that, and we've got that. I'm gonna

123
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>turn this off because I want to show you the

124
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>last thing. Oh well, let me do that again. Actually,

125
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 1>let me turn this back on and for whatever reason,

126
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 1>this this one right this heat gun right here. This

127
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 1>is just something I got on Amazon. That's low power

128
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 1>and it's pulling about thirty thirty one amps. I'll put

129
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>it on high power. It drops down to twenty four amps.

130
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>High power requires less amverage. Go figure. I don't get that,

131
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>but whatever. All right, So here's the app for the

132
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 1>red ODO battery. You can see it's with the with

133
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the the heat gun still running. It's down at ninety

134
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>five percent. It's drawing about seven hundred and sixty watts.

135
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 1>Current is this current says it's fifty nine amps, and

136
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 1>that one says it's only thirty amps. So I wonder

137
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's thirty amps there. This says fifty three amps there. Interesting,

138
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I just now noticed that I didn't notice that before.

139
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm wondering which one's the so it'll run, I

140
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>wonder which one's more accurate. This says it'll run for

141
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.319
<v Speaker 1>about an hour and fifty minutes at its current draw

142
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>well the point of today. So I'm gonna have to test.

143
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to test that meter, make sure I've

144
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 1>got it set up. This is just it's brand new

145
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>meter I just got out of the box. So that

146
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 1>makes me think I've got something set wrong on that,

147
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 1>but it seems to I don't know. Let's turn let's

148
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>turn this off. Okay. So now the meter's telling me

149
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>two point three amps. One point seventy nine amps there, okay,

150
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>and over here it's saying one. It's not even saying that.

151
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 1>So do you trust the meter in the battery or

152
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>do you trust the meter in the the actual external meter,

153
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I do not know. They're thirty one amps there, fifty

154
00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>four amps here, almost twice as much. Okay. I'm gonna

155
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>grab this saw and kick it on again and leave

156
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>it running, and we're going to see what this number here,

157
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 1>this current number here says. All right, so you could

158
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>see that that number almost doubled, and that number will

159
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>both of those numbers double power output and current output

160
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>also doubled. But according to that, it was still only

161
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.279
<v Speaker 1>running about thirty eight thirty nine amps while the saw

162
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>was continuing to run. So, honestly, I'm wondering how accurate

163
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>this meter is in the battery, honestly, because that seems

164
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>like that's a big difference between fifty three amps here

165
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and thirty amps there. But this is called experimenting. So

166
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what the point of today's video is to test

167
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that battery, and that battery is doing a fantastic job

168
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>running all of these things. So now I'm going to unplug.

169
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>Well it doesn't really matter, I don't think, but I'm

170
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and unplug these and now now this thing

171
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>it's going to kick in and start charging itself. Fifteen hundred,

172
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 1>nineteen hundred watts, one hundred and fifty eight amps, two

173
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>thousand watts discharging overprotection. There we go. That's what we wanted, BMS.

174
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Discharging overprotection. That's exactly what we wanted because that proves

175
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.879
<v Speaker 1>that if you put too much of a draw on

176
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this battery, it's going to put the BMS is going

177
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to protect itself. So I drew two thousand watts whatever

178
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 1>it was, I drew that beforehand, and it's branded for

179
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a minute. So that's exactly what you want to see.

180
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 1>So in my opinion, that is a successful test. That's

181
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 1>one hundred amp power battery. In a real world scenario,

182
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't. This Eco Flow Delta pro is a thirty

183
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 1>six hundred watt battery system, so basically it's three hundred

184
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>amp power battery. If you take thirty six hundred and

185
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 1>divide it by twelve volts, you get three hundred. So

186
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't use a one hundred amp power battery to

187
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>charge a three hundred damp power battery. You wouldn't really

188
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>do that, But that's not the purpose of today's experiment.

189
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Today's experiment was to see if the BMS shut itself off,

190
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>how much capacity we could get out of it and

191
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.759
<v Speaker 1>what it could run. And that's exactly what this is doing.

192
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Red Otto again, red Otto sent me this battery. This

193
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 1>is the third battery they've sent me. I've been very

194
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>happy with all the red Odo batteries. This one is

195
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.759
<v Speaker 1>the group twenty four one hundred ampower lithium irn phosphate.

196
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Any types of sales they rung, periodic sales they send

197
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>me emails all the time, any types of sales they

198
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>have or discounts for my viewers. For you guys, I

199
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 1>will put in the description below. Check that out. Let

200
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 1>me know in the comments if you have a red

201
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Odo battery, if you like it, which you think about it,

202
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 1>which one you're using and we'll catch you next time.
