Notes -
Currently building a 2kW, 5kWh, 24V off-grid system for my summer cabin, and for carting around to power tools anywhere (very useful for all the tree clearing & burning I'm doing, which would otherwise take a lot of starting and stopping my small limbing chainsaw. And I don't even have a gas pole saw.)
Amazingly, by resorting to salvaging from garbage dumps and even buying from Temu, it's working out cheaper than running aluminum SER to the building.
It's probably going to come in at 150lb or so. So I should probably figure out how to put some wheels and a handle on it. Maybe off-road bike tires would work best?
Wheelbarrow wheels innit, plus I think a lot of wheelbarrow tires are solid.
Wheeled litters use a Surly 26" fat bike wheel with 4.6" tire, but this is a relatively expensive solution I think.
