Here's a pic of the actual unit, the inductor is wound with 11 turns of 4mm solar wire( had some spare) the cores were salvage .. reads 120uh on my cheapy meter...





decided to max it out , pushed 3.1kw for quite some time but hovered around this most of the time as batteries were getting full.. again, inductor was the " hottest " , warm but could hold it.. mosfets were barely warm,  temp sensor on unit read between 40-42 ...no fans on it, but i do have 2 cheapy pedestal fans oscillating on general area,  used mainly for the OGI's ..
