my eyes were on that 'merican flag les paul

Can use? Yes. $1700 worth of tool and battery though? I like my Milwaukee tools, but not that much lol.

Not sure it's worth it.

Nope, totally misses the mark. A solar generator can do more than that, for instance a Bluetti AC200MAX has a 2.2-kilowatt inverter with 4.4kw surge, pass thru charging and 900-watts solar input. The AC200MAX battery is a 2-kwh Lithium Iron Phosphate with 3500 charge cycles to 80% and the ability to add up to 6kwh. The cost is $1800 for the AC200MAX. The Milwaukee uses Lithium ion (M18) batteries with a 350-cycle life and if you buy 4 12-ah batteries at $250 (a great deal) - that is still $1000 dollars just for batteries. That battery capacity is only 48-amp hours or 800-watt hours. The inverter is $700 for a total cost of $1700 with batteries, a hundred less than the bigger solar generator. The AC200MAX will last 10 times longer than the Milwaukee batteries, has more outlets (AC and DC) and is a little bigger than the Milwaukee power supply.

We could us it, we have a animal rescue military boarding home during deployment off grid at high altitude CO. We have solar and wind that powers the cabins and main kennels. However having a power supply like this could be extremely useful when working on different parts of the 6 acre😂 rescue and buildings. Also would be extremely useful in the mines we take veterans panning and mining for PTSD relief, and no gasses to kill you, we can run better equipment. Great video thank you for sharing. 🇺🇸

$2400 for an ecoflow delta 2? I already have a stash of 12AH batteries. This unit makes more sense at my house.

@@Recovry6x6 delta 2 is ~$900 plus it has a battery built in that is larger than 4 12ah batteries. The m18 definitely has its place, but it’s not priced competitively.

@Joseph Malinowski It's always been my personal policy to never buy the first year/generation of anything, whether it's a car, power tool, phone, etc.. I let other people try the stuff out first ;)

Pretty sure this is a Gen 2 though

one year later, there has not been the release you mentioned will happen..

dewalts isnt pure sine wave

The smaller top off Milwaukee power supply can run a CPAP for 2 nights with a 12 amp battery or 1 night with a 5.

you build your own one 18volt 12amp its 500.00 4 its like $2,000 or more i build my own much better

I really do wish it was rapid. Takes a while to charge those big batteries

If you get new lithium phosphate solar generator like Bluetti or Ecoflow, in10 years in which it will be 80 percent. it might be 30 years before it goes dead.

Hey Justin I am in North Port and I also picked up the M18 Chainsaw and it's a beast

This doesn't have the output to run a refrigerator all night. I crunched the numbers.

If you’d like to include these numbers then we can talk

@@B-DINO please share your math as I will share mine. 12 amp hour battery is 216 watt hours 12x18 Times four batteries is 864 let’s round down to 850 for efficiency losses. Fridge when running around 220w, on the high end. When considering the door will remain closed over night the fridge will not always been running. Multiple videos on KZfaq have shown watt usage of refrigerators both old and new. Some showing usage around 60 watts an hour 850/60 is 14 hours. Now let’s say this is all best case here and we look at worst case and the fridge took 220 watts an hour which would be running non stop like you left the door open. We are still just shy of 4 hours of use and CDC says the refrigerator contents are good for another 4 hours. Freezer contents even longer. Therefore during emergency use this is a good use of power. Not to mention we are assuming the user has no other batteries which is unlikely if they choose to buy this brand of inverter.

I visited family in Cape Coral during the first week of January this year and we went for a boat ride and saw the damage Ian caused… it was surreal seeing catamarans flipped over onto houses and other large boats stuck on lawns etc…

It would probably depend on a few things. Most importantly how much power the fridge draws the size and age of the fridge would probably make a big difference. How much the fridge is opened will have a big impact on the amount of time too, because the fridge will have to run more to keep the set temp if it’s being opened a lot. The efficiency of the inverter will have a bit of an impact. Of course the size of the batteries will matter too. You could get a rough estimate how long it will run something by taking the smallest amp hour battery you have in the machine and multiply by 72 (because the batteries are 18v nominal, but you have 4 of them). So let’s say your smallest battery is 5ah that’s 360 usable watt hours. I’d take a little off that for efficiency losses and more if your batteries are old and don’t last as long as they did when they were new. Let’s say you take 10% off that total. That would leave you with 324 hours. If you have a little fridge or cooler that only takes 50 watts, you should be able to run it over 6 hours, but if you try to run that big fridge in the video, that thing might consume 300 watts and may only run it for a bit over an hour. If the fridge wasn’t open very often, it would last longer than that though.

@@rob-toolsandtech2521 Thanks Rob

I have one, it will run the heater

@@brandonhiggs88 yeah but not for long right?

@@Got2Learn haven't tested run time yet, I only used it on a heater for one night and didn't run constantly as it was only heating a truck camper. one thing that's funny is with 4 5.0ah batteries on it I can charge 4 5.0ah batteries and still have one bar of juice left.

@@brandonhiggs88 how many watts was the heater pulling?

@@Got2Learn it's a 1200 watt heater and would kick on and off as it wasn't heating a huge area and still had two bars in the morning. This was only using 5.0ah batteries

He only tested it for 2 hours. I have heard it would last 20-30 hours. I would like to see a real test though.

Also since it doesn't charge with solar makes it a short term solution for a power outage.

A 1500 watt space heater, with 4 8aH batteries, about 15-20 minutes, at best.

Do you have a build guide?

@@James-dx9ho Not yet, but I'm thinking about making a full 1800W one and doing a build guide on that. I want to start a KZfaq channel for tech and DIY stuff.

Could it be that rapid charging is hard on batteries? Especially when you ram them full to the max.

@@HuFlungDung2 that makes sense

And you don't have to use it with 4 batteries right?

@@masterkilla77 yeah you only need one battery to run it idk if in this video you need all 4 batteries in

This is ridiculously overpriced too. Add in the 12ah batteries and you’re talking $1700 for a 860wh battery pack.

yes it is.

They did, over a year ago I think. MXF002-2XC is a kit with 2 batteries, $1650 on Amazon right now, $2200 at HD.

🤣🤣🤣 my bad 👊

I don’t see it as a replacement for the gas generator. But I would like to have used it to keep the fridge going overnight and not have to worry about running the generator over night or theft. I think it would be more efficient to recharge during the day on generator and run only the fridge and phone chargers overnight but I may be wrong. Luckily we had nice cool nights after Ian in SWFL.

@@aydelotte0116 I concur, thanks for response!

Amen brother

if you are not in milwaukee line, there is another lithuim battery which can generate 8000 watts but the price is 4k, it seems how much you pay how much you get.
