Allpowers 60W Solar Panel Review: Awesome and cheap!!

[@dmytro_korolkov]

Nice t-shirt and review!

[@ollelund]

Thank you. And I like that shirt. Almost got my ass kicked in Sweden because of it. Some drunk guy thought I was russian 😀

Does this come with a cable that connects to the Bluetti EB3A? Thanks !!! Love the review !

[@ollelund]

Yes it does! I also come with several other adapters (some that I have never seen before) :)

@@ollelund awesome thank you !!

Nice review :) Have you tried this panel if it triggers charge error when recharging batteries (AA, AAA, 18650, etc.) when partial shading from clouds, or else occurs? Obviously this would depend on the charger as well though, have you run some tests for it?

[@ollelund]

Hi! Sorry for the late response! I would say that it has more to do with the charger then the panel. In theory, the panel will produce 30 watts if one of the two panels are in the shade. For most batteries 30 watts are more then enough to charge with. Right now its in the middle of the winter but I will do a test as soon as i can see some sun!

Can I plug my laptop directly into the box on the solar panels or do I have to have a power station?

[@ollelund]

It depends on the pc. If it can be charged by usb 5v then there is no problem. Regarding plugging it right into the DC port I wouldn’t recommend it. But you can buy a small MPPT to put between the panel and your computer and you should be fine

How could I connect my Allpowes 60 solar panel to an Ecoflow River 600 solar generator? I can't find the right cable. Thank you

[@ollelund]

You need a dc 5,5x2,1 to XT60 connector. So you need help finding one?

[@aname5091]

@@ollelund Thank you so much. Yes, if you don't mind I would appreciate if you could help me find one. Thank you

[@ollelund]

Here are some links. I dont know where you live so I gave you a few. Sorry for the delay. US: amzn.to/3Um957F UK: amzn.to/3w501vT EU: amzn.to/44oKVhf

[@aname5091]

Thank you very much!!! That's so kind of you. I couldn't find the way to connect it. Thank you!!!!

[@aname5091]

You are awesome!!! Thank you so much!!! I have been trying for a long time to connect my 60 Allpowers solar panel. I wrote to the company, to the online shop where I bought it, and I couldn't use it since I couldn't find the right connector and in a minute you solved my problem. Thank you for your kindness and your help!!!

I'd be very very careful trying to charge a 12v battery directly off the panels. The panels will be pulling around 18v under load so you could fry your car battery. I would only do it in an emergency and just enough to get the car started and watch it very closely. I like how it has a built in parallel connector. I built a series and a parallel with MC4's but this is much cleaner. The Bluetti has a proper MPPT controller the Allpowers cheepo power station probably has a PWM controller.

[@ollelund]

I agree!! I would do that to a 12v battery if it wasn't the last resort. On a 18 v battery though..

[@chrissinclair8705]

True or another trick which would help out is if you had a DC to DC boost converter, put a couple of 12v batteries in series so you have a 24v battery, put the charging voltage at say 26v then you'd be good as well. The good thing is to get say a cheap PWM controller that will pump out 13v for a car battery is very reasonable. I've literally seen them as low as $15, probably not the fastest thing out there but it would charge at the right voltage. Of course you could spurge $30 and get one with even a basic MPPT controller...@@ollelund
