Hi Guys . Feeling Good today . well ok .
Here is one of my latest builds from 4 that i am putting together on an Ebay sell . It's that time of the Year again and Baby needs Christmas Money .

This is PocketPower+  She will run the devices shown for 6 hours give take to 90% ..

What do you think is in it besides a 1.2 volt battery? The last Pic is a Cfl with the Guts out.
If anyone is interested i can make them a video i guess .

I am waiting for some smaller solar cells so it will be self charging as there is plenty of room on my little Black boxes .

While I am off topic as you know i can be (sorry ) I thought as this is the greatest topic and thread in the whole world i would show a replication i am still working on of Lasersaber's SOLN1+ . I added the plus . My panel has 4 LiFePo4 flat paks total 20ah and is having the following . Built in low powered LS3 (3.2 volts to 120 outlet) LED Votage Indicator(yellow digits) Security Switch (Mains-keyed) Built in 5 volt Usb charger port , Built in radio . built in continuous LED Light (always on-1ua pull) for easy find in the dark and light the controls .And built in 410 watt Digital Displayed Inverter which standby is 20ma .
(Indicates also battery volts,ac volts and watts pulled) with two 110 volt outlets and another USB charger , 12 volt outlet  .. and two more things  All in a small portable Solar Panel(20watts). All these things are being mounted in Precision holes i cut in side the frame. No Chunks cut out !

Will produce a demo when all my stuff gets here. Here are a few pictures . I am making a Bezel for the Tiny meter in the center with some black stuff and a clear plastic window seal from the weather . The meters fit in a tiny rectangle  hole and is Flush .
Keep in mind that this Panel will Charge this pack up despite the numbers and the reason being is the power is controlled with a PCM and never lets the batteries overcharge or underDischarge so they never deplete to more than 9,2 volts in series .
This is another project i Must Sell (i don't want to) for Christmas is near and am really poor . (less than 1300 a month for 2 people)
So i have 2 more devices that will be up for auction soon ..

A bit off topic, but I`m curious, do you have to be a business seller if you sell stuff you make on Ebay?

I did a quick Google search, but did`nt arrive at a clear answer.
