One enclosure holds a 5.58 kWh lithium battery bank, a 3000 watt pure sine inverter charger, integrated 50 amp transfer switching and multiple charging inputs. AIMS adds four 200W N-type solar panels, panel brackets, a solar fuse, PV wire and an MC4 type entry gland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAIMS designed the Armadillo for installers and owners who need high-capacity energy for backup power, remote work sites, mobile operations and demanding off-grid use. It's built for fixed installations, such as an RV compartment or a service truck, and puts performance and long-term capability ahead of lightweight portability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAIMS Power Armadillo Expedition Solar Kit Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBattery, Inverter Charger and Transfer Switch in One Enclosure\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-in-one unit combines lithium battery storage, the inverter charger, transfer capability, charging inputs and system controls in a single enclosure. AIMS notes that this removes much of the wiring, fusing and component mounting a traditional multi-component system needs, for a cleaner and more organized installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e800W of N-Type Solar Charging\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour 200W N-type monocrystalline solar panels give the kit 800 watts of solar. Each panel measures 49.2 x 30.12 x 1.18 in and has MC4 type connectors on 31.5 in leads. The all-in-one unit has four PV inputs, each with its own circuit breaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e5.58 kWh of Lithium Storage That Can Grow\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in 5.58 kWh lithium battery bank handles large appliances, tools, electronics, pumps and essential household devices. Unlike many fixed-capacity solar generators, the Armadillo accepts up to eight additional 420Ah batteries through its battery expansion port, for more than 50 kWh of total storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e3000W Pure Sine Inverter Charger With 50 Amp Transfer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated 3000 watt pure sine inverter charger, with 50 amp transfer switching, delivers dependable AC power for appliances, tools, electronics and critical systems.
