they are very handy indeed and in parts of the world dudes have lost power so this is an option to ponder for some

Hey Jessica it was because we went through a time of the power going out on us regularly I looked into and then built our own solar power back up system and that will run everything bar the main house air-conditioned and the system could do this full time if needed. Plus one can dramatically cut down on the power bills with a system as well by running often and not pulling power off of the grid. This video was to show those that don’t know about inverters how to use one and how long you could get out of a standard battery running 6 normal house lights and the 22 hours off one charged battery is a good effort. So with a house one can get in the power meter box a cross over switch installed and a power point so that an inverter can be plugged directly into your house and the switch will select between mains power to off grid power with that a house is all done, flick the switch and you can feed the house with off grid power. A good way to go with this if one wants the whole house running is to plug a 3,000 to 5,000 watt inverter to the meter box as we have here. But a small 300watt just over $50.00 inverter can and will run say all your house lights the TV computer & internet with ease using a battery. Cool stuff I think any way.

They are a handy thing to have around the place...we have a solar back up system that will run the house for months if needed but a few people don't know that for just over $50. you can light up tour home if the power is down....thanks for stopping by and stay safe.

Thank you for saying that..... When the power goes out it's a pain and this shows that with a just over $50 inverter you don't need to be in the dark at all. I have a solar back up system that runs all house lighting and my fridge as well and my computer, phone charging, internet and TV and the back up can run all day every day without any problems at all.

@@rolandkeith5322 Definitely food for thought, you have inspired me more than you can imagine. Cheers for that my friend !

@@TRyanLearn they are a good thing to have around the place as a just in case I feel.

Same here as I have 3Kw back system I can pull off when we have no power it comes in handy I tell ya and this was to show that for just over $50 you don't need to sit in the dark at all and if an outage lasts for many days then charge up the backup battery from a car with jumpers hook up to it. Thanks for the comment and keep safe.

Thanks Glenda They are a good device when that power is off line and inverters don’t make any noise nor do they need refilling like a generator or need to be maintained. I have a inverter back up system here at my house running off of batteries that runs all house lighting and fridge TV computer internet just about anything I need at the time really and the system charging is all solar. This system just won’t run for hours or days this system will run for months or continually if I wish. This video was to show those that have nothing at all and for just over $50 for a cheap inverter, in a power outage one does not need to be sitting in the dark.

Thanks Nonna ....Many people know about or have an Inverter however more people don't know they even exist so I hope people will get something out of the video.

this was for those that have nothing to get the idea really....we have solar back up that runs the lot bar the main air conditioner and could we can run that full time and do so at times to cut the bills.

thanks for the comment and yes 22 hours is a good effort out of a battery that was rejected from a boat as it tested only 70% in condition. A simple inverter could make a power black out not so bad until things are restored.

Thanks Lori and I hope all is going well your end there ...catch you soon :-)

Hi Lea, thank you very much for the comment and watching the video I do hope all who see it gets something out of it. Yes indeed 22 hours on a 90 amp hour battery running six lights is a very good effort and with a simple plug and switch installed into ones power meter box a humble set up like this will run the same. So in this case of six lights been used for the whole time a family with no power could light up as per normal with a light on in the lounge room one in the kitchen another in a hallway one more in the bed room and one in the bathroom plus have the porch light on, That would have all of the neighbors knocking at your door asking why is it just you that has power and not us…lol. Backup power is a fair thing to have in our time because the power grid is now very old and under much stress and for something like the cheap inverter I used in this video that was just over $50. Bucko’s a family or person won’t have to walk around in the dark. My self we have enough back up power to run the fridge and all of the house light plus the TV, radio, computer & internet hot water in fact the whole lot and we can run the back up for not just a few days but for months at a time if needed as it is charged back by solar daily. Again thank you Lea and stay safe.

Yes I could my other solar & inverter video's have done okay with up to over 10k views on a vid but with this one, Many people know about or have an Inverter however more people don't know they even exist so I hope people will get something out of the video.Keep safe man till next time

Thanks for stopping by and I am glad it has got ya thinking as for just over $50 for an inverter when that power is off line your not sitting in the dark like everyone else. .I have a solar back up system that runs all house lighting and my fridge as well and my computer, phone charging, internet and TV and the back up can run all day every day without any problems at all.

thank you very much for stopping by and dropping the comment. And yes I was impressed with just how long the power lasted my self in this small test. Cheap back up inverter for just over $50. bucko's

That is correct as it shows that a simple inverter and battery set up is a handy thing in a power outage and cheap inverters like the one I used was just over $50 bucko's.

Thanks for stopping by and indeed you could.With busking I have a mate that does that a lot and he has installed inside the cabinet of his amp that he users a 12V sealed battery and a 150 watt inverter as it all fits with bags of room at the bottom of his amps cabinet. I think he gets around 6 hours from the small battery he has in it as it is about the same size of a motorbike battery. And when he gets back home he just chargers it back up for next time.

@@rolandkeith5322 That's awesome.

it is a good way to go... many do know about inverters however more people dont know about them and in this video the one I used was just over $50 bucks. Here we have a full solar back up system that will run all the house if needed for as long as needed as we do get outages here and it's a pain and as luck would have it the dam power goes down when i have,just filled the fridge...lol but that's not a problem anymore. plus i can save money on Bill's by running the system often ....thanks for watching and keep safe.

@@rolandkeith5322 DUDE! You're the Elon Musk from down under!! HAHA

Awesome stuff and thanks for been dar first in the line up lol....nar a big thanks to ya

oh no gone up in flames lol

🤣😂🤣

wawawa hahahahah awesome I love it

@@rolandkeith5322 sounds dirty I know 😂. I reckon I saw a shunt in your video. Looks like you had some other deep cycle batteries set up in the background with a battery monitor and a shunt on the terminal?

Love it Show us ya shunt hahahahha awwawawa that's awesome
