RE: Portable 56 VDC EGO Battery Charger Project
I have a working setup just like what you are envisioning, except I'm using my three 40v 95 WH Ryobi batteries that I have laying around for my mower and weed eater.
The 95 WH battery will get me 60% charge in under 20 minutes.
I picked up some alligator clips and soldered them to the adapters. I just clip them on and bingo.
There is a higher capacity 5 ah version of this battery that is the same weight, only 3.5 lbs, which will have to get over one charge. $140
The thing I like about this solution is the BMS is built in and they are tough as nails and come with a warranty.
My solar charger fits perfectly inside a dakine GoPro soft case.

RE: Portable Power Supply / Pure Sine Inverter
@noahsw I split my wire down the middle so it could straddle the screw, the. Cranked it down. Working alright so far.
I got 62% of a charge off my 40v 95 wh ryobi battery.

RE: Portable Power Supply / Pure Sine Inverter
@noahsw thank you bro! Thanks to you, I've got my setup working using my 40v ryobi batteries (I have three on hand for yard tools). I will report back if I get a full charge.

RE: Have you done any customization or any modification? Post pictures!
@jew_fro_1009 Unfortunately that is not what the owners manual says for the Plus.

@iiikz Quick Question: Were you able to peel off the original tape in once piece?
If so, I may do the same and try and keep the original on standby in case I need to send in for warranty work. That way I could potentially re-apply the original tape to avoid voiding the warranty.

RE: Making sure everyone is aware
Yeah, for all the Fbook haters, just create a bogus name/account so that you can at least login to the owners group. That way you won't have to actually have old highschool friends hitting you up and what not.

RE: Portable Power Supply / Pure Sine Inverter
I ordered the same plug yesterday, so any details on your fix/mod to the plug would be greatly appreciated!
