A hobby project that became a resource for the off-grid community.
startOFFgrid.com started as a hobby project of Nikola Strahija (Croatia), born out of the necessity to design, research, and build battery systems from scratch.
Nik's first experience with Li-Ion battery packs goes back to 2008 when he built his own 2S and 3S LiPo packs for an airsoft rifle. Over the years, he has researched and built several battery packs based on lithium chemistry — in different form factors and as drop-in replacements for power tools. His latest home project involves a solar-powered A/C system with an 18650 battery bank, designed to capture enough solar energy to sustain A/C operation and deliver enough peak current to start it.
As of mid March 2020, startOFFgrid gained a new supporter, Nino Andrasec, in the role of content and SEO advisor. Nino has produced many B2C websites for companies ranging from entertainment and fashion to industrial manufacturing.
