Solar generators can be a HUGE rip-off.
| Solar generators can be a HUGE rip-off. And companies will outright lie to customers. They'll advertise their generators as silent, portable, and devoid of nasty fumes that could make you and your loved one sick. But there's one thing the solar generator industry DOESN'T want you to know: A solar generator is only as good as its battery. If your generator has a cheap battery... It could crap out on you when you need it most — like during a snowstorm. How do you know if your generator has a crappy battery? Follow these 3 simple rules. Rule #1: Avoid 'lead acid' batteries Lead acid batteries are cheap. They don't last as long. They suck in cold weather... which makes them USELESS in snowstorms. Why even bother? Rule #2: AGMs are decent. AGMs (Absorbent Glass Mat) are much better than lead acid batteries. They're more expensive but they'll give you more juice. And they'll handle the cold better. However, if you want the most premium battery of all... Follow Rule #3: LifePO4 for life. LifePO4s are the Rolls Royce of batteries. They'll last you 10 years or more. You can discharge them over 5,000 times, without frying them... And, unlike other batteries... LifePO4s work great in freezing temperatures. The only downside? They cost a fortune. And the solar generators that use these batteries will run you three-to-five thousand dollars. So, if you're considering buying a solar generator... DON'T. You're better off building one. And it's surprisingly easy. In fact, you only need these 4 items. And you could build a high-quality solar generator in a single afternoon... even if you've never built anything yourself. Want to build your own solar generator for a fraction of the cost? Follow this simple step-by-step tutorial. |
