If it's heavy, you can try making a trolley mini luggage type version as well
Dean's connectors seem a bit outdated to me, just a personal opinion of course. Have you ever tried out Anderson Power pole connectors? They have multiple current rated versions and the connectors' pins are fully shrouded on both of the mating sides, so it would be extremely difficult to get an accidental short circuit with them. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
That's such a small battery pack but it lasts so long... Are there any consumer products like it?
What did it cost you to build?
Is 1,200 watts the same as 1.2 kWh? Also, if you were to switch the three outputs of 12, 24, and 24 volts, how many volts/amps could this thing safely output? I don’t know much about electricity, but I am trying to learn, and this inspired me!
Never gonna build any of this, just here because I enjoy watching people build stuff with a legendarily joyful demeanor.
Ik a lot of these videos exist about al types of stuff and 90% of us will never do it 😂 I use to watch stuff about iphones and now I do that Buttt I never thought I would
Absolutely this guy is a total legend, he can be the host of a kid's show easily like blues clues
I'm interested in electronics so that's my I'm here. I doubt I'll ever build thus tho
@@lil_storyz4230 I love watching Louis Rossman videos but have none of the skills or equipment to do that stuff. I get it.
That's too real man. I choose to stay in the fantasy world where I say I'm going to make this stuff but find mundane reasons that stop me. "Ugh I was totally about to build that DIY 4k projector but I really need to change that 1 single air filter in my house. Dont want to over extend myself.

Although I would never personally attempt building these projects myself, It amazes me to see how easy you making look. All your projects are absolutely beautiful. Your videos are very well made and are also visually and audibly therapeutic. I really enjoy every one of them! Great job! 👏
I love love love how accessible you make your projects. As someone who is constantly dreaming up new things to tinker and make, watching someone carry out ideas like this to the level I imagine myself doing it (imagine being the key word there lol), your channel satisfies the itch to create while also saving me a failed project and frustration.
Im starting to think this guy single-handedly keeps the aluminium industry alive.
And the brass industry 🤣
And the correct pronunciation of aluminium as well 🤣

also wood
@@kaushalsuvarna5156 In America, we pronounce aluminum properly too. It just doesn't contain the extra "i."

Not only are you builds and ability to teach incredible, but your eye for photography and production are top notch.
I can only imagine of doing all the work by myself like you do. You work really hard for making a single project. You not only makes a project but inspire others also. Thanks
Imagine, you're walking through the forest, you hear three beeps in the distance, several minutes later you stumble into a clearing and see Matt sitting next to a microwave happily eating pasta: 17:50
🤣
You rolled a 20
Imagine that also an Italian hear and follow the beeps and see he cutting the pasta.
nobody should be happy about eating microwaved food.....
@@DIYPerks So no you really need a microwave that can be flat packed and quickly assembled on the spot. ;.)

As you are making a "Briefcase" shape why not progress to having an opening briefcase that contains some solar cells. Maybe just a few watts but that would be of use do simply delay the fall to zero, or enough to maintain full charge while switched off.

Plot twist. He does it himself
I assume he does it himself but thinks it’s too boring to make videos about.
@@suhealj6997 You could say it's one of his DIY perks.
@@CaveyMoth the reply I've been waiting for 🤣
It's most likely him
I love how he makes everything so entertaining to watch. I'm probably never gonna build any of the stuff he makes but it's so good to watch
mood
when i get some money i might try to build the pc built in to the desk and this as well, and some other stuff that i find usefull at that time
I share the same sentiment. I love to watch the videos, but I’m very sure I won’t end up building any of the projects. I really wish I could buy some of these builds though… the hidden desktop and artificial sun especially…
Same here. I know id probably cause an accident. He seems like an expert.
Just think about handling this amount of lithium battery horrifies me lol. It can be extremely dangerous without proper knowledge and tools
Looks so sophisticated and professional, not for my DIY skills! Great job!
Thanks for the safety warnings and the visual animations of the battery charges. Makes things easier to understand. 🙂
Those graphics were sleeeeeek!
I burned the midnight oil for those! :D
@@DIYPerks It shows man!
Simple, stylish and effective!
@@DIYPerks that was your mistake right there. Why burn the midnight oil when you have your artificial sun?
@@rossclutterbuck1060 I see what you did there.
Can you imagine this guy converting a van. It's like anything he touches is perfect.
Everything he touches turns to brass
The magic of film editing. ~_^
Rich rebuilds is quite messy and the van that's working on has some nice finishes, thing is, you cannot get going and see what happens, you have to plan it really well
holy shit it would be epic
The man doesn't miss!
You deserve every single view you have on every videos you made. Everything is so clear and precise. There is no way i will ever trying to do this...but i've listen to it entierely. Bravo also for the video production that is spot on.
I am impressed with the quality of your work. There goes to say that you really detail how to go about your projects. Well done !
He really loves his aluminum and wood grain... and threaded inserts.
Can't forget the brass! Or carbon fiber wrap(Amongst other vinyl wrap finishes).
Aluminium.....
every one of his videos have a "AND aluminium is perfect for this" moment
Yeah high quality, atheism pleasing materials is his jam
the scenes where Matt was outside was actually shot at night he's just using his artificial sun for the illusion of day time.
- also powered from this new battery bank.
How do you know?
@@razam6608 supposed to be joke right ?
Nope he is serious
From what I can see in the scenes, it is probably real daylight. If you have the time of the video in which it can be clearly seen that it is the artificial sun, show me pls.
I wish I was as knowledgeable (and let’s face it, interested enough to become as knowledgeable) as Matt. This project is exactly the type of thing that I’d love to build for myself. Really nice work! 👍🏻
Just finished my DIY Power Bank thinghy. But it's a low power type but has features to suit my Ham Radio Portable equipment. Cheers from old George in the UK 🇬🇧
This is not just high level DIY, everything he does is ART. I wish I could buy the stuff he makes..
I could definitely use this in my meth-cooking trailer.
As long as you have will to learn... you can build you own... nobody stops you :).
I mean as long as you follow his instructions you can make these projects AND the more of these you do, the more you learn, the better you are at doing your own projects
those are really nice batteries too. My Molicel P28A 18650 batteries have outprformed all the so called "best" batteries on several review sites
I'd make one and sell it to you for the cost of parts and shipping, but it wouldn't be cheap. Just the batteries and management board comes to 484£ ($684 USD)
This is one of those things where you start it thinking "ok, I could do that" and then every minute afterwards you feel more and more ashamed of yourself knowing you'd fuck it up and burn the shed down
That's exactly what I was thinking!!!! I was like this is very reasonable and I could see myself making it. But than he pulled out spot solder.
Went down hill quickly. I'm going to Amazon.
@@jishan6992 spot welder did it for me too !
@@henloitsdiego I don't think less than even 1% person would actually attempt on making what he makes but I still enjoy his content and things he makes but it would be better if he presented it as an experiment rather than DIY, because I mean come on it would be costlier to get all that tools and making something rather than buying the manufactured product
More power!
This project is super entertaining to watch, and super useful. This channel doesn't deserve 3.69M subs, it deserves 10x that quantity. 💪

Man, your engineering prowess, ingenuity, since of art and style. Is absolutely "GOD TIER". I started watching your channel this year. I have found myself marveling at your brilliance!!! While I am not an engineer, by any stretch of the imagination. I just can't seem to stop watching your channel! I wanted to know if you sold any of your projects to the public? If so, where can I browse and buy? I'm sure I can't afford it, but I can dream🤣 great stuff, man!
This is one of the best presentations I have ever seen. Reminds me of Tiff Needell with his calm but pleasant personality.
Man this guy has PASSION for what he does. Such quality videos. Such hard work. Even the persona he embodies for his videos must take so much energy.

Do you have an approximate cost for the build?
@@marvinthielk lol are you gonna build this XD
@@GhostSlayerYT what's wrong with it?
@@EagleFPV43 it's gonna be pretty hard and time taking, I think most of the people just watch these videos cause they look cool
What about a wiring diagram
This is amazing. I just recently discover you channel and I'm impressed by all of your projects! Keep it up and all my admiration and gratitude for sharing your knowledge !
Amazing build again, like all yours!! And the editing is just sooooo visual and nice!! Congratulations and thanks in deed for your channel and all your content!
The quality of these builds is more like bespoke manufacturing than "DIY", yet straightforward enough to feel doable. Really cool.
Yes. Bespoke electronics. That's the word.
I really want to learn how to achieve this level of polish in building stuff from scratch.
Such an inspiring build! I work with a film-crew, and frankly, we're on the move a majority of our time with no socket outputs in reach to charge our equipment. I do have background as an Electrician, and the parts for a build like this has now been ordered! Thank you so much for giving everyone the huge inspiration you do with your build.
As cool as this built is, it is not financially viable IMHO, as the parts as well as the time spent to manufacture the items willl be more than any comparable commercial powerbank. For film and Video production, you should take a look at the comercial available "solart" generators from Jackery, Bluetti, Rocksolar and the likes. Maybe even have a look at manufacturers like Golabs who offer LiFePO4 powerbqanks that are supposed to have a much longer life expectancy (3-8 times) than standard LiIon ones.
@@thistled0wn LiFePO4 Is the way to go imo
@@gataness agree
I always enjoy your ingenuity into making something useful and with a bit of cleverly designed style. Just like an actual product.
Absolutely love the content, the attention to detail and how you manage to keep the projects looking classy and neat. Keep up the good work 💯
I must say I would *easily* buy this thing if it was available for purchase.
You absolutely can, they're sold as solar generators, but they are not cheap
two kinds of people, some purchase and some design/build. I would rather prefer to be builder than passive purchaser. agree?
@@tek5358 this project is still expensive as a DIY project. Batteries themselves cost around $550 when you buy in bulk (over 750 dollars when you buy them individually), BMS board cost around $200 dollars. Not to mention spot welder, leather pieces, voltage regulators, lcd voltmeter and bunch of other stuff.
@@hatem0 Some just don't have time nor desire to become builder and just enjoy videos like this. Some are better at tech, some do metal work and wood projects better etc. Not everyone can learn or have time to learn every type for DIY projects. So please don't act all mighty and above others just because you do something and they don't.
@@erkinoztekin You can easily find items much cheaper than that. I found these exact cells for just over $400, but you could get similar capacities for cheaper. I quality Daly BMS (without bluetooth) is only around $30 for 40 amps, which is all he is needing (that's 2000 watts). If you shop around, you could likely build something similar for under $400. Building supplies like the spot welder, cutting tools, etc would of course be extra, but you only have to buy them once and they can be used for several projects. If you are only going to build a single item this way, then it likely wouldn't be worth it. But if you think that you will build other items, then this is far cheaper than buying outright.
I'm beginning to realize that the best way to do things yourself is to own a professional manufacturing facility.
Good😂😂
I agree
You either pay for labour or you pay for tools. DIY is a hobby, not a cost saving method.
@@Joostuh In his latest video he ionized Nickel to make a magnet bigger. That's lab stuff.
@@zgillet Still, he did that with mostly household items and it worked out perfectly. Most of the time, it's not so much the tools that make the difference, but the creativity and genius of the brain that's operating them that does. You'd be surprised with what you can make relatively simply.
Dude is like the Bob Ross of DIY
underrated comment
Truly
lol thought u were gunna say he was like Bob the Builder at first.
This was phenomenal to watch. I don't know much about portable power stations. I just bought one but I'd love to build my own some day.
Matt's last line in the video: "Its nice to be outside for once, to be honest." Man, I felt that. Greetings Matt from halfway around the world! :)
Hi Matt! :) Thanks for the comment like! :D Again, I am sending good wishes and greetings from halfway around the world! (I'm currently stuck in the Philippines)
@@drunkpervertedmonk Cheers! :D
I'm pretty sure Matt is from another galaxy. He's brilliant but also doesn't seem to be "in his head". It's like he's just having fun playing with the technology that's available on earth. This is definitely my favorite channel right now.
Brilliant, I’ve been wanting a crossover between an emergency car jumper and something which also be used as a portable power station for off grid or boondocking! Thank you, excellent video and contribution.
It might not be suitable as a car *jumper* as the current required to turn an engine is pretty high and this might not be able to deliver that but you can surely charge a car battery.
Great engineering. Battery looks something you cant even get on the market , unless you make it yourself. Thank you for your work.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that that little suitcase-sized box can power a combi fridge-freezer for two days.
Here's something else that may blow your mind: that "huge" amount of energy can only get a car up to 80 mph or take an electric vehicle 2 miles. Transportation wastes ridiculous amounts of energy.
fridge is not working 100% of the time at full power- it only uses larger amounts of power at time intervals when it is actually working towards lowering the temperature after that is done there is usually a large time gap betwen such cycyles. This means relatively small bank can keep the fridge working for relatively long times.
@@kentaltobelli1840 You say "wastes" and certainly inefficient commuting is a big drain, but you can buy petrol mopeds that are more efficient than a cyclist in CO2 emissions and obviously food cost to petrol. And it obviously won't blow your mind if you have ever tried to PUSH a car for two miles.
You haven't watched jehugarcia builds😂😂😂 he can literally fully charge a Tesla
@@carbon1255 But even if you need a family car, compare its power consumption to the entire family house.
Imagine going to a restaurant and asking "do you mind if I charge my powerbank here?" and upon receiving a positive answer, whipping out this bad boy.
Imagining this and I can already see them charging me a 3 figure sum for just a beer !! 🤣 Lol
your obsession with attention to detail here is admirable. outstanding work!
I love the IDEA of a microwave oven that has a built-in rechargeable batteries. Again your videos are so TOP NOTCH and very enjoyable to listen and to watch. Almost like a TV personalities
"Stay tuned next week when I make a DIY Offshore Petroleum Plant, out of brass."
The secret is in the repurposed laptop parts, which will serve as the foundation for the refinery.
coming next: a solar panel charger to this portable power station!
I was just considering that! the only problem is that most solar panels are super inefficient and seem unlikely to be able to fully/properly charge this thing, but oh man, if he could do that- the applications are fucking insane! it can charge your devices for weeks with camping, so pair that with solar power and you have the _perfect_ road trip which can sustain you easily and a battery that you can maintain!!!
If this kind of solar power conversion were even remotely possible, we would already be running around in Tesla super cars that charge faster than they drain with a single solar panel on their roof. If these kinds of energy conversion rates were even close to reality the whole world would already be 100% solar and everyone would power their house from a panel the size of a door.
@@Mr539forgotten he didn’t say a portable solar panel charger.
Good Idea.. probably take a whole day to charge. There are panels out there that are plenty capable. Next-level smartphones will no-doubt have this feature, its just a matter of finding the space in such a small and thin device.
I want To make one too
Just one word, your level of work is quite impressive!! Kudos!
This is like a fun electricity class! The only thing that battery is missing is some outlet ports

Man respects his neighbors. Gotta love it.
For the handle, it might be worth using a plastic ring or something so it doesn't tear, though depends on how often you use it. Great vid!
This is so professional and well built. I would buy one of these
Honestly I'm just following the channel hoping for the day that Matt builds his own functional death star. In brass, of course.
I don't know what to call this! I've been researching DIY batteries and power systems for weeks now; and nothing can be as professional and sleek as your work! I just love watching your brilliant work! thank you
It's called a massive power bank lol. But seriously, it looked like it was made with my personal favorite lithium ion batteries, Molicel P42A'S which can both output about 30 amps per cell continuous until the pack overheats, or they can do around 20 amps continuous basically forever if you have some airflow. It was in a 12s8p configuration, so a 33.6Ah, 44 volt nominal system, which is equivalent to a 1.47kWh battery. It's got a lot of energy and very good output capabilities since the Molicel P42A cells are robust high output cells. I'm not positive why 12s was used in this application, but maybe it's more common than I thought? In the USA, we are more likely to run true 48v systems which means 13s lithium ion set-ups or 16s LiFePO4 set-ups. It just seems like we have more stuff available to get the most out of 13s systems, and there are more inverters and charge controllers that work with 48v nominal equipment. There are plenty of batteries, power banks and Solar generators that have 1.5kWh of energy capacity, so there are no shortage of options if you look around. There is a very powerful pack at Jag35.com that has this exact setup for $100 per module. It's already in a package, you just have to wire up your own BMS for it. You can run several packs off of one BMS. Just get something quality like the 300a BMS with Bluetooth from Batteryhookup.com or something from a reputable website. No cheap eBay stuff. You can find even cheaper solutions using cheap 44v and 48v battery packs from Batteryhookup.com and Jag35.com. those only require slight modification or integration if you already have a 44v or 48v Victron system or a rack mount system that includes a BMS for every battery pack.
i know its a little late but i found this while looking for diy solar generators

This has EASILY been the best, most detailed video I've seen on wiring these types of cells. I've looked into it before, for a custom battery pack for an electric bike, but was always found other tutorials just breeze past some seriously important things

It's been mazing seeing how clean your builds have gotten over the years. I would love to see a video on how you decide what parts to get and how you design everything before building your projects.
Just gonna say your BMS setup is the best I have seen on KZhead
Great video and I appreciate all the effort you went to in documenting the process. Wish the latter steps included more step by step details so the build could be followed along with.
The reason I love these videos so much is that they’re delivered in such an approachable way to keep beginners engaged but are advanced enough to teach enthusiasts loads of new tricks too. Really can’t get enough of these, thanks!

If you're actually interested in that, there's a similar video of a dude making a solar powered bicycle that can go forever as long as there's sunlight. I can't link it here, but you can probably find it if you try.
@@Hendlton peters bike?
@@hoveringgoat8061 Yeah, it's him. It's been a while since I watched, so I couldn't remember his name.
I really like your videos! Always well explained and very interesting DIY projects! keep up the good job. cheers from Portugal.
