Had a garage day today, been searching for a battery generator. Figured I would throw one together. Had a 62a/hr agm battery that needed a home and a dewalt inverter that I pulled off my work truck after replacing it with a larger one. Put some smoked white and red lights on it just for fun. Solar and charger connections and couple of 12 v cigarette plugs. Inverter had usb outputs already. Ran my fridge for over 24hrs on 120. Testing on 12v tomorrow and will test the solar recharge time tomorrow.
