Speaker 1: Today, I have a red Odo Group twenty four one
Speaker 1: hundred amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery, and normally I
Speaker 1: do a capacity test on these batteries. But I've done
Speaker 1: a capacity test on red Odo before and had great
Speaker 1: results with both their fifty amp Hower and their one
Speaker 1: hundred empower Mini. So today we're going to do something
Speaker 1: a little bit different. I'm going to test usage with
Speaker 1: it hooked up to a three thousand watt pure sine
Speaker 1: wave inverter. We're going to turn some stuff on and
Speaker 1: see how far we could push it. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: the one hundred amp hour RG twenty four red Odo
Speaker 1: battery that they sent me and wanted me to do
Speaker 1: more testing on twelve hundred and eighty WA hours you
Speaker 1: can see right there, and this is my three thousand
Speaker 1: watt pure sine wave inverter from Renergie. I've actually had
Speaker 1: this for a couple of years. My original intent was
Speaker 1: to install this in the back of my truck with
Speaker 1: my battery box that's sitting right there. A lot of
Speaker 1: updates coming to that battery box, working on another video
Speaker 1: for that right now. Well, but my original intent was
Speaker 1: to put this in here and have it running all
Speaker 1: the time, or have it available all the time. But
Speaker 1: it's just you see how massive it is. See how
Speaker 1: big it is right there, And then the battery box
Speaker 1: is there, and I could technically fit it in there
Speaker 1: if I wanted to, but I wouldn't have as much
Speaker 1: room for other stuff that I want. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: back up and regroup. I'm gonna do something with this,
Speaker 1: or just don't know what yet. Anyway, I got all
Speaker 1: this hooked up right here. We got some one ODT
Speaker 1: gauge wire connected with the battery. Here. The battery is
Speaker 1: at about ninety eight percent without downloaded the app. We
Speaker 1: could see right here, ninety seven percent. It's ninety seven percent. There.
Speaker 1: Capacity is one hundred point five amp hours. But here's
Speaker 1: one thing that I don't really like so much. Turn
Speaker 1: the inverter on and I've got my client tools meter
Speaker 1: on this thing here. Oops, let me turn that off.
Speaker 1: Almost messed up. And while the inverter is on by
Speaker 1: itself with nothing else running, it's still drawing about two
Speaker 1: and a half amps an hour. So I was. I
Speaker 1: had an overland show about two years ago and I
Speaker 1: met a guy. We were talking about inverters and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And battery power and solar and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: And I told him that I had this this inverter,
Speaker 1: and he's like, why do you need a three thousand
Speaker 1: wat inverter? And I'm like, why not? I mean, why
Speaker 1: not get the biggest one you can three thousand watts
Speaker 1: is basically the biggest inverter you can get for a
Speaker 1: twelve vault system. You can get a six thousand or
Speaker 1: seven thousand watt inverter for a twenty four volt system,
Speaker 1: and it kind of goes up from there. But he's like, well,
Speaker 1: I had a three thousand watt and it kept killing
Speaker 1: my battery, so I traded it in for like a
Speaker 1: thousand or twelve hundred watt. And I'm like, why would
Speaker 1: your Why something's beeping at me over here? We've turned
Speaker 1: that off right now. I don't know what that was.
Speaker 1: Why would your inverter draw power if there's nothing running
Speaker 1: from it? And I thought that was strange. I plugged
Speaker 1: this inverter in. I connected it to the battery via
Speaker 1: one OT gauge wire before I plugged anything into it,
Speaker 1: and I turned the inverter on. Now, the inverter's got
Speaker 1: an internal fan and it's got an internal it's got
Speaker 1: a light that comes on. But two point five amps
Speaker 1: per hour is what it's telling me it's running, and
Speaker 1: or two point five amps anyway. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's per hour or not, but I'm like, there's nothing running.
Speaker 1: Why do you need that much power to sit and
Speaker 1: stand by? So it seems to me like the inverter
Speaker 1: should have some sort of sensing switch that shuts itself
Speaker 1: off and kicks itself back on when something is plugged
Speaker 1: into it. I don't know. I don't know much about inverters.
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of learning, but more experimenting is needed. Okay,
Speaker 1: so something was beeping at me a minute ago. I
Speaker 1: turned everything off. I've got this thing says that it
Speaker 1: has a remote with an RJ eleven and a USB
Speaker 1: plug says remote, right, Actually, that's probably for that. So
Speaker 1: you probably plug a remote in here and you turn
Speaker 1: it on remote power, and you can power it off
Speaker 1: and on remotely. I don't know if it's a wireless
Speaker 1: remote or if it's a wired remote that goes in here.
Speaker 1: You have to run a wire into the cab of
Speaker 1: your truck or in your van or wherever you're gonna
Speaker 1: install this. But that might be something that I do
Speaker 1: for later, because if I'm gonna use this, I probably
Speaker 1: won't want it running all of the time and drawing
Speaker 1: two amps. This thing turned off, it's got a time
Speaker 1: out on it and pulling two and a half amps
Speaker 1: just you know, for no reason at all. So I
Speaker 1: probably don't want to do that. Okay, So here's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. This inverter is capable of supplying more power,
Speaker 1: then this battery is capable of outputting, which is fine.
Speaker 1: That's does totally fine, no problem. That's the purpose of
Speaker 1: today's test and experiment. So I'm gonna turn my I've
Speaker 1: got my heat gun. I've got a skill saw over here,
Speaker 1: I've got my reciprocating saw, and I'm gonna show you
Speaker 1: something cool about those saws here in a minute. And
Speaker 1: then I've got my big monster ecoflow delta pro battery,
Speaker 1: which if you plug that in and turned on, it
Speaker 1: draws about twelve or thirteen hundred watts just and so
Speaker 1: in other words, it draws more wattage then the battery
Speaker 1: is capable of supplying. So that's gonna shut it down
Speaker 1: here in a second. But you can you can also
Speaker 1: adjust that in the software of the ecoflow. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna turn my heat gun on here and we're gonna
Speaker 1: look at the meter and see that it's drawing about
Speaker 1: thirty amps right now. No problem there, everything's cool, drawing
Speaker 1: about thirty amps. And now I'm gonna take this. I
Speaker 1: want you to watch this. I'm gonna I'm gonna pull
Speaker 1: the trigger on this skill saw. But I want you
Speaker 1: to watch that meter as I do it. You see
Speaker 1: it jump up to like fifty or sixty amps when
Speaker 1: I do that. If you ever heard of an air
Speaker 1: conditioner that has an easy start or a graceful start
Speaker 1: or something that's the same thing. So I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pull the trigger and hold it now. So that
Speaker 1: saw is only that song only needs about about eight
Speaker 1: or ten amps to actually run, but it needs like
Speaker 1: fifty amps to kick in. I thought that was I
Speaker 1: figured it would require a little bit more amperage to
Speaker 1: kick in. But fifty amps while it's running at eight amps,
Speaker 1: I thought that was a bit number there. So okay,
Speaker 1: so we've got that, and we've got that. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: turn this off because I want to show you the
Speaker 1: last thing. Oh well, let me do that again. Actually,
Speaker 1: let me turn this back on and for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: this this one right this heat gun right here. This
Speaker 1: is just something I got on Amazon. That's low power
Speaker 1: and it's pulling about thirty thirty one amps. I'll put
Speaker 1: it on high power. It drops down to twenty four amps.
Speaker 1: High power requires less amverage. Go figure. I don't get that,
Speaker 1: but whatever. All right, So here's the app for the
Speaker 1: red ODO battery. You can see it's with the with
Speaker 1: the the heat gun still running. It's down at ninety
Speaker 1: five percent. It's drawing about seven hundred and sixty watts.
Speaker 1: Current is this current says it's fifty nine amps, and
Speaker 1: that one says it's only thirty amps. So I wonder
Speaker 1: if it's thirty amps there. This says fifty three amps there. Interesting,
Speaker 1: I just now noticed that I didn't notice that before.
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering which one's the so it'll run, I
Speaker 1: wonder which one's more accurate. This says it'll run for
Speaker 1: about an hour and fifty minutes at its current draw
Speaker 1: well the point of today. So I'm gonna have to test.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to test that meter, make sure I've
Speaker 1: got it set up. This is just it's brand new
Speaker 1: meter I just got out of the box. So that
Speaker 1: makes me think I've got something set wrong on that,
Speaker 1: but it seems to I don't know. Let's turn let's
Speaker 1: turn this off. Okay. So now the meter's telling me
Speaker 1: two point three amps. One point seventy nine amps there, okay,
Speaker 1: and over here it's saying one. It's not even saying that.
Speaker 1: So do you trust the meter in the battery or
Speaker 1: do you trust the meter in the the actual external meter,
Speaker 1: I do not know. They're thirty one amps there, fifty
Speaker 1: four amps here, almost twice as much. Okay. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: grab this saw and kick it on again and leave
Speaker 1: it running, and we're going to see what this number here,
Speaker 1: this current number here says. All right, so you could
Speaker 1: see that that number almost doubled, and that number will
Speaker 1: both of those numbers double power output and current output
Speaker 1: also doubled. But according to that, it was still only
Speaker 1: running about thirty eight thirty nine amps while the saw
Speaker 1: was continuing to run. So, honestly, I'm wondering how accurate
Speaker 1: this meter is in the battery, honestly, because that seems
Speaker 1: like that's a big difference between fifty three amps here
Speaker 1: and thirty amps there. But this is called experimenting. So
Speaker 1: that's what the point of today's video is to test
Speaker 1: that battery, and that battery is doing a fantastic job
Speaker 1: running all of these things. So now I'm going to unplug.
Speaker 1: Well it doesn't really matter, I don't think, but I'm
Speaker 1: go ahead and unplug these and now now this thing
Speaker 1: it's going to kick in and start charging itself. Fifteen hundred,
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred watts, one hundred and fifty eight amps, two
Speaker 1: thousand watts discharging overprotection. There we go. That's what we wanted, BMS.
Speaker 1: Discharging overprotection. That's exactly what we wanted because that proves
Speaker 1: that if you put too much of a draw on
Speaker 1: this battery, it's going to put the BMS is going
Speaker 1: to protect itself. So I drew two thousand watts whatever
Speaker 1: it was, I drew that beforehand, and it's branded for
Speaker 1: a minute. So that's exactly what you want to see.
Speaker 1: So in my opinion, that is a successful test. That's
Speaker 1: one hundred amp power battery. In a real world scenario,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't. This Eco Flow Delta pro is a thirty
Speaker 1: six hundred watt battery system, so basically it's three hundred
Speaker 1: amp power battery. If you take thirty six hundred and
Speaker 1: divide it by twelve volts, you get three hundred. So
Speaker 1: you wouldn't use a one hundred amp power battery to
Speaker 1: charge a three hundred damp power battery. You wouldn't really
Speaker 1: do that, But that's not the purpose of today's experiment.
Speaker 1: Today's experiment was to see if the BMS shut itself off,
Speaker 1: how much capacity we could get out of it and
Speaker 1: what it could run. And that's exactly what this is doing.
Speaker 1: Red Otto again, red Otto sent me this battery. This
Speaker 1: is the third battery they've sent me. I've been very
Speaker 1: happy with all the red Odo batteries. This one is
Speaker 1: the group twenty four one hundred ampower lithium irn phosphate.
Speaker 1: Any types of sales they rung, periodic sales they send
Speaker 1: me emails all the time, any types of sales they
Speaker 1: have or discounts for my viewers. For you guys, I
Speaker 1: will put in the description below. Check that out. Let
Speaker 1: me know in the comments if you have a red
Speaker 1: Odo battery, if you like it, which you think about it,
Speaker 1: which one you're using and we'll catch you next time.
