Battery Power

I'm taking continuing education for my licenses. I took a solar elective. While reading through Energy Storage, it says systems permanently installed. That means a stand alone inverter, battery would not fall under NEC. NFPA and UL listing are still real. But hey, there isn't a single power cable out there with a UL stamp on it. Not unless its a ching cheng.

My DDK sourced Ching Cheng PC's are UL listed. Otherwise they would not enter my system.
 
Victron inverters are UL. So are the battery. So are the cables, termination, boxes and duplex I would use to lash to an inverter.

Audiophile like a lot of Bling. Hence they spend $38,000 for a 750 watt inverter in a fancy box. If I put a kick butt 3000 watt inverter on a board with unlimited battery power for $8,000, people would scoff.

I spoke to Victron. They offered me a distribution license. I meet with a senior tech next week to discuss products.
My thought is for an in room option. I want to find a way to mount the unit on a stand and have the output wired and attached to it. Basically a Hifi Supreme fuse block and fuse to a quality duplex. Maybe Watergate or Furutech.

The batteries sit to either side.
1 x 100AH 48 volt battery would give about 6 hours run time to a system disipating 500 watts. You can land 2 batteries on the inverter for 10 hours play. Recharg is based on the branch circuit feeding the charger.

Charger is turned off with a phone.

This setup would be similar in power to 4x Stromtank S5000. Its well under $10k complete and delivered. If I get it together, I will do some shows to display it. Maybe power a room. We shall see.
