Today, I have a red Odo Group twenty four one hundred amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery, and normally I do a capacity test on these batteries. But I've done a capacity test on red Odo before and had great results with both their fifty amp Hower and their one hundred empower Mini. So today we're going to do something a little bit different. I'm going to test usage with it hooked up to a three thousand watt pure sine wave inverter. We're going to turn some stuff on and
see how far we could push it. Okay, this is the one hundred amp hour RG twenty four red Odo battery that they sent me and wanted me to do more testing on twelve hundred and eighty WA hours you can see right there, and this is my three thousand watt pure sine wave inverter from Renergie. I've actually had this for a couple of years. My original intent was to install this in the back of my truck with
my battery box that's sitting right there. A lot of updates coming to that battery box, working on another video for that right now. Well, but my original intent was to put this in here and have it running all the time, or have it available all the time. But it's just you see how massive it is. See how big it is right there, And then the battery box is there, and I could technically fit it in there if I wanted to, but I wouldn't have as much room for other stuff that I want. So I'm gonna
back up and regroup. I'm gonna do something with this, or just don't know what yet. Anyway, I got all this hooked up right here. We got some one ODT gauge wire connected with the battery. Here. The battery is at about ninety eight percent without downloaded the app. We could see right here, ninety seven percent. It's ninety seven percent. There. Capacity is one hundred point five amp hours. But here's
one thing that I don't really like so much. Turn the inverter on and I've got my client tools meter on this thing here. Oops, let me turn that off. Almost messed up. And while the inverter is on by itself with nothing else running, it's still drawing about two and a half amps an hour. So I was. I had an overland show about two years ago and I met a guy. We were talking about inverters and whatnot. And battery power and solar and all kinds of stuff.
And I told him that I had this this inverter, and he's like, why do you need a three thousand wat inverter? And I'm like, why not? I mean, why not get the biggest one you can three thousand watts is basically the biggest inverter you can get for a twelve vault system. You can get a six thousand or seven thousand watt inverter for a twenty four volt system,
and it kind of goes up from there. But he's like, well, I had a three thousand watt and it kept killing my battery, so I traded it in for like a thousand or twelve hundred watt. And I'm like, why would your Why something's beeping at me over here? We've turned that off right now. I don't know what that was. Why would your inverter draw power if there's nothing running from it? And I thought that was strange. I plugged
this inverter in. I connected it to the battery via one OT gauge wire before I plugged anything into it, and I turned the inverter on. Now, the inverter's got an internal fan and it's got an internal it's got a light that comes on. But two point five amps per hour is what it's telling me it's running, and or two point five amps anyway. I don't know if that's per hour or not, but I'm like, there's nothing running. Why do you need that much power to sit and
stand by? So it seems to me like the inverter should have some sort of sensing switch that shuts itself off and kicks itself back on when something is plugged into it. I don't know. I don't know much about inverters. I'm still kind of learning, but more experimenting is needed. Okay, so something was beeping at me a minute ago. I turned everything off. I've got this thing says that it has a remote with an RJ eleven and a USB
plug says remote, right, Actually, that's probably for that. So you probably plug a remote in here and you turn it on remote power, and you can power it off and on remotely. I don't know if it's a wireless remote or if it's a wired remote that goes in here. You have to run a wire into the cab of your truck or in your van or wherever you're gonna
install this. But that might be something that I do for later, because if I'm gonna use this, I probably won't want it running all of the time and drawing two amps. This thing turned off, it's got a time out on it and pulling two and a half amps just you know, for no reason at all. So I probably don't want to do that. Okay, So here's what we're gonna do. This inverter is capable of supplying more power, then this battery is capable of outputting, which is fine.
That's does totally fine, no problem. That's the purpose of today's test and experiment. So I'm gonna turn my I've got my heat gun. I've got a skill saw over here, I've got my reciprocating saw, and I'm gonna show you something cool about those saws here in a minute. And then I've got my big monster ecoflow delta pro battery, which if you plug that in and turned on, it draws about twelve or thirteen hundred watts just and so in other words, it draws more wattage then the battery
is capable of supplying. So that's gonna shut it down here in a second. But you can you can also adjust that in the software of the ecoflow. So I'm gonna turn my heat gun on here and we're gonna look at the meter and see that it's drawing about thirty amps right now. No problem there, everything's cool, drawing about thirty amps. And now I'm gonna take this. I want you to watch this. I'm gonna I'm gonna pull the trigger on this skill saw. But I want you
to watch that meter as I do it. You see it jump up to like fifty or sixty amps when I do that. If you ever heard of an air conditioner that has an easy start or a graceful start or something that's the same thing. So I'm gonna I'm gonna pull the trigger and hold it now. So that saw is only that song only needs about about eight or ten amps to actually run, but it needs like fifty amps to kick in. I thought that was I figured it would require a little bit more amperage to
kick in. But fifty amps while it's running at eight amps, I thought that was a bit number there. So okay, so we've got that, and we've got that. I'm gonna turn this off because I want to show you the last thing. Oh well, let me do that again. Actually, let me turn this back on and for whatever reason, this this one right this heat gun right here. This is just something I got on Amazon. That's low power and it's pulling about thirty thirty one amps. I'll put
it on high power. It drops down to twenty four amps. High power requires less amverage. Go figure. I don't get that, but whatever. All right, So here's the app for the red ODO battery. You can see it's with the with the the heat gun still running. It's down at ninety five percent. It's drawing about seven hundred and sixty watts. Current is this current says it's fifty nine amps, and that one says it's only thirty amps. So I wonder
if it's thirty amps there. This says fifty three amps there. Interesting, I just now noticed that I didn't notice that before. So I'm wondering which one's the so it'll run, I wonder which one's more accurate. This says it'll run for about an hour and fifty minutes at its current draw well the point of today. So I'm gonna have to test. I'm gonna have to test that meter, make sure I've got it set up. This is just it's brand new
meter I just got out of the box. So that makes me think I've got something set wrong on that, but it seems to I don't know. Let's turn let's turn this off. Okay. So now the meter's telling me two point three amps. One point seventy nine amps there, okay, and over here it's saying one. It's not even saying that. So do you trust the meter in the battery or do you trust the meter in the the actual external meter, I do not know. They're thirty one amps there, fifty
four amps here, almost twice as much. Okay. I'm gonna grab this saw and kick it on again and leave it running, and we're going to see what this number here, this current number here says. All right, so you could see that that number almost doubled, and that number will both of those numbers double power output and current output also doubled. But according to that, it was still only running about thirty eight thirty nine amps while the saw
was continuing to run. So, honestly, I'm wondering how accurate this meter is in the battery, honestly, because that seems like that's a big difference between fifty three amps here and thirty amps there. But this is called experimenting. So that's what the point of today's video is to test that battery, and that battery is doing a fantastic job running all of these things. So now I'm going to unplug.
Well it doesn't really matter, I don't think, but I'm go ahead and unplug these and now now this thing it's going to kick in and start charging itself. Fifteen hundred, nineteen hundred watts, one hundred and fifty eight amps, two thousand watts discharging overprotection. There we go. That's what we wanted, BMS. Discharging overprotection. That's exactly what we wanted because that proves that if you put too much of a draw on this battery, it's going to put the BMS is going
to protect itself. So I drew two thousand watts whatever it was, I drew that beforehand, and it's branded for a minute. So that's exactly what you want to see. So in my opinion, that is a successful test. That's one hundred amp power battery. In a real world scenario, you wouldn't. This Eco Flow Delta pro is a thirty six hundred watt battery system, so basically it's three hundred amp power battery. If you take thirty six hundred and
divide it by twelve volts, you get three hundred. So you wouldn't use a one hundred amp power battery to charge a three hundred damp power battery. You wouldn't really do that, But that's not the purpose of today's experiment. Today's experiment was to see if the BMS shut itself off, how much capacity we could get out of it and what it could run. And that's exactly what this is doing. Red Otto again, red Otto sent me this battery. This is the third battery they've sent me. I've been very
happy with all the red Odo batteries. This one is the group twenty four one hundred ampower lithium irn phosphate. Any types of sales they rung, periodic sales they send me emails all the time, any types of sales they have or discounts for my viewers. For you guys, I will put in the description below. Check that out. Let me know in the comments if you have a red Odo battery, if you like it, which you think about it, which one you're using and we'll catch you next time.
