SHTF - Cheap Emergency Solar Power - The Ultimate Converter! 2/2

If there was one converter I would pack with me during an emergency, it would be this one!

The converter has a 13.8 Volt output and can produce 20Amps at 276 watts. It will accept 18-90V of solar input, making it useable with just about any solar panel. In this video, I show you how you can build a cheap yet versatile 12-Volt solar system with or without a battery.

I will also show you the "USB Anywhere" converter. A super handy converter for converting nearly any DC voltage you might find in a solar system to a suitable 5 Volts to power USB devices.

We will also find out what happens to a charge controller if you connect the solar first instead of connecting the battery first... Exciting!

This is part of a two part series. See below for the original video.

Enjoy!
