Barebones DIY portable power station build

That being said, charger has breakers and on/off button, battery has BMS for protection and inverter charger has breakers and on/off button. 1. Do I really need to implement extra safety measures besides ones built in charger, battery, inverter? I want to keep the build as simple as possible, because I want to expand the build with solars, once I verify my power usage in the field, which will change the setup drastically. 2. Do I need any other components at this stage? Context: I am planning to build DIY portable power station for car camping purposes. There are three main reasons why I want to do DIY: - To learn and get more confident in DIY including electronics - To allow for self-servicing & expansions - Save money vs ready made ones My planned usage is: - portable fridge (40Wh max) - laptop (96Wh), smartphone(22Wh) & other small electronics on-demand Components: 500/1000W inverter with LCD for battery charge/usage: https://greencell.global/en/power-inverters/5658-green-cell-powerinverter-lcd-12-v-500-w1000-w-pure-sine-wave-inverter-with-display.html 100Ah battery with BMS: https://www.amazon.pl/gp/product/B0CDLGN28G Smart Charger 12V 10A for LifePo4: https://www.mediaexpert.pl/dom/inteligentny-dom/inteligentne-ladowarki-do-akumulatorow/inteligentna-ladowarka-qoltec-monolith-51958-do-akumulatorow-lifepo4-agm-gel-sla-10a-12v?srsltid=AfmBOopcBK0cNN1ht39zS3SnS0j1Of_oBOc6JgLIS5GNvNG7byJGLV1-eGA submitted by /u/Feroiso [link] [comments]
