Allpowers R2500 & 400W Folding Solar First Impressions

[@Devilsoldier99]

Hi John. I'm after your advice on the allpowers r2500. I've the s2000 x they are fine. I am looking to upgrade to this model due to charging time off AC, it's capacity is better than. S2000. Also 6 year warranty. Now you've had this device for over a year, what's your thoughts on reliability. I wish to charger pvy bikes, whilst this is lump, I am interested in your experience. Did consider ecowflow, however, your previous experience of their product put me off, especially after their treatment of you. Cheers, I hope you can reply Paul

Battery are at 12??? Not 48V? 😮😮

[@GadgetJohn]

Output voltage is 240v ac and 12v dc Internally the batteries operate at 48v

[@vivienne3757]

Thanks for the review, I would find that heavy for me. Would you say this is one of the better ones on the market?🤨

[@GadgetJohn]

I would say they’re all getting very close now, so choose the best spec for the best price.

I found a returned S2000 for £650 😀 I used your amazon link so hopefully your channel benefits a little from it. Now I just need an affordable set of solar panels. Any suggestions/recommendations? I would buy used but haven't found any at a reasonable price.

[@GadgetJohn]

Oh thank you so much 👍🏻 most folding solar panels are build the same way once you go over 100w, so choose one with good reviews and for the S2000 that’s 400w max.

@@GadgetJohn Thank you. I'll keep my eyes open for a bargain 🙂

Interesting bit of kit John. Good review. Cheers 👋

[@hopesfreedom2322]

Nice review John, when pitched-up and on hook-up I guess you keep the Power Station in the van and charge it on 240v - do you ever see any issue with voltage drop or insufficient power to charge these Power Stations? Cheers

[@GadgetJohn]

You can power this up via hookup and then have it power your van so if the campsite power goes off the power station takes over. There are 3 ways to charge them, all the ways to charge are standardised.

[@hopesfreedom2322]

@@GadgetJohn kind of getting interested in these to provide the 240v side of things in the van, most of the time we would charge it by solar but when at a campsite would park in the shade and charge via hook-up. Just wondering whether there’s any voltage drop or insufficient power issues on a long hook-up cable 👍🏼

[@GadgetJohn]

240v mains is the same from the socket in your house to an inverter, they make hookup cables a set length so you don’t get a voltage drop.

[@hopesfreedom2322]

@@GadgetJohn it did go through my mind this morning that Caravan owners use high power items - my parents haven’t had issue in the caravan. Think these Power Stations are a good solution; I have AGM’s - fine for low demand, I think the PS would suit our 240v needs in the Van 👍🏼

[@NicW76]

What would you use all that power for, you ask? Mobility equipment! If you're a disabled camper, reliant on *having* to charge fairly hefty batteries daily, these big power banks are absolutely game changing! I realise that's an extremely niche use, but you did ask. 😅 Interesting looking power bank, I'm always following the reviews for these things so thanks for sharing. 😀

[@brianmac001]

What & how can you use the 12V barrel connections?

[@GadgetJohn]

You can use these to connect up led lights, fans or other low amp 12v devices. amzn.to/3Zz6RUy

Good review John 👍

[@sportgliderider]

nice one john, interesting review thanks.

[@Electrowave]

£2300 with the solar panels, £1900 without. Only £1000 for the S2000. Prices from your link to Amazon. They seem to be a good buy, so maybe the prices went up with their popularity. Thanks for the review 🙂

[@GadgetJohn]

I love my S2000 because it’s so affordable for the features & power it’s got. The new one will last much longer though.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on channel thanks lee

[@mentalneil]

I guess one of these would be great for a touring caravan, meaning it could go off grid

[@GadgetJohn]

Yes, it would be great for that as you could use it as hookup to charge the caravan battery, or even power the appliances too.

[@HELVIS.]

Another great video john,are you looking to sell this ?..iam in the market for one for my camper..

[@GadgetJohn]

Send me a message on instagram 👍🏻

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari Om Nice unit - becoming a clear competitor to Ecoflow? YAM xx

[@GadgetJohn]

I think there’s very little between them all now to be fair, so you can more easily choose power, features & price instead of the brand.
