Anker 767 Powerhouse - quick look inside and a few tests

[@tumbleweed1976]

This guy with a funny accent did the world a great service! Thank you 🇺🇸

[@ilovefreeski]

Can you see what lifepo4 cells are used from the side through the grills? From what ive seen they appear to be 26650 EVPST cells with a teal wrapping.

[@86sheepdog]

Thanks for breaking down the app. No one else's videos had the answers to my questions. Like left!

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Did you check if the live is on the correct pin on the mains output sockets? Mine is inverted. Live is on the Neutral.

[@patrickseidel8229]

interesting fact i checked on my dad’s 767 - the two 12 V-ports are NOT wired in parallel it seems - they each can handle 12 V / 10 A+ at the same time … so you should be able to start/run two dieselheater at the same time 💪🏼 The bat-pack is a 16s10p pack … so containing 160 round-cells and they are def. LiFePo4 cells 👍🏼 Love your videos - i am german and life most time in a campervan since 2020 - whenever possible i try to be in scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤ … stayed 6 month straight in Durness in 2022 … best place (for me) on this weired planet 😄

[@DavidMcLuckie]

That's an interesting test I'll have to try.

[@kellygb9278]

Good to see you testing the Anker 767 Powerhouse because I have a little barn that needs electricity! My load is mostly trickle chargers for the diesel heater & -2- tractor batteries. My overhead lights are LED & I am making do on a 12 gage, 100' extension cord, & yes I Know - bad idea. The main thing is, I have need for some power for the table saws. My plan was to use a couple of solar panels along with a portable battery back up and wham! there you are, doing it for me. Great Karma

[@richardbisset8323]

How is your 12v cigarette light working the diesel heater. Mine cuts off and will not work ?

[@DavidMcLuckie]

There are a few variables. Mostly not all heaters start up using less than 10A.

[@luouns]

How is this unit grounded?

[@charlschuck6]

Did you bought it or it was sort of provided by anker ? It’s abit strange how it’s not label lifepo4 instead of course all All lithium ion and have different types 😊 . So there’s a 30A ac output port but only limited to realistic 20a real power 2400w continues no peak ratings ? Great teardown not many even attempt this heheh I love this videos shows us the investment value we have or could make

[@charlschuck6]

What’s the highest wattage draw you have tested on this unit on surge and continue ? I’m deciding on the options c1000/ delta 2/ ac180 and this one it big but some say the real continues wattage is 2400 so yeah there’s some appliances that surge 3600-4200watts sometimes for heavier tools ik it’s not really meant for that but for kitcken multi devices w less draw

[@PaulAlford75]

Can I please have that for camping?

[@thesurvivalist.]

Nice job! Hopefully you will get an offer to review the Inergy Kodiak X2

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Would it be possible to connect a 48V non Anker battery to the secondary battery port?

[@ScottGressley]

Use the T60 solor port.

[@LarryRichelli]

The European model is 240V. Would be nice to get that one.

[@dantronics1682]

does it have ac charge timer? I'm thinking charging from eco7 and running the house in the daytime

[@DavidMcLuckie]

Good question. Could the same thing be achieved with a timer plug?

[@dantronics1682]

@@DavidMcLuckie yes that is my current plan but since that box control the charging current

[@Dreador.]

No but you can hook it up to a smart plug and get that - I have it and the 2kwh expansion and do just this - you will struggle to get pay back with E7 rates I have Octopus GO and its only due to the expansion and using 3KwH my payback is viable

[@assassinlexx1993]

Rock wool insulation batts in the ceiling will kill the rain sound. With all these batteries power sources and heaters you are good keep the house going for a week ;)

@bertjesklotepino Filter perhaps? To reduce electrical noise is what I was thinking

Li-ion battery😮? Why did they said it comes with LifePO4 batteries!!!!

[@DavidMcLuckie]

LiFePo4 batteries are still lithium ion. There are a lot of battery chemistries that still fall under Li-Ion.

[@twocvbloke]

That brand will never have me take them seriously when they're one doubleyou off being a word of self-gratification... :P

[@billienomates1606]

£2,200 for the unit, I think I will stick with my ecoflo delta max 2000 a few hundred quid cheaper and you can attach 2 battery units each 2kw, solar and smart petrol gene.

[@Dreador.]

Delta max 800 cycles and it's an EPS over this UPS and 3000+ so it will last 3 times longer.... oh and it's alot quieter + expansion to 4kwh the Anker is cheaper than the Max @ 4kwh

[@NoelBarlau]

I don't know why in particular, but for some reason I'm slightly surprised the batteries aren't Lithium Iron Phosphate cells. This thing is basically a giant USB power bank. Imagine the fireworks should those cells ever find themselves mistreated.

[@Dreador.]

Per Anker they are meant to be LiFePO4 so something isnt right - I did see the expansion is model A1780 which so it might just be warning isnt mentioning it - there is LFP in the code top right.

[@rednecktek2873]

It sure looked like a 16s 48v 40Ah setup. I would have expected it to be an 8s or 4s with only 2Kwh of bank.

[@kuhrd]

51.2v is the usual 50% nominal for a LiFePO4 16S pack and the code says lFp as Dreador stated. LiFePO4 is a Li-Ion battery technology just like all of the other lithium rechargable flavors that are currently in use around the world.

[@jamesemery1]

@@kuhrd you cannot use voltage to determine the charge state Of LifePo4 cells, the charge curve is too flat unlike Lithium Ion where voltage is an indicator of State of charge

[@kuhrd]

@@jamesemery1 You can easily use a cololmb counter to measure 50% SOC with a typical 16S LFP battery but the point of the nominal is that it is somewhere fairly near the middle of the range while in normal use. My point had nothing to do with measuring state of charge other than them using the nominal voltage on the label for a 16S pack which also backs up the idea that the cells are LFP.

[@rednecktek2873]

But can it start a diesel heater? Really, that's all we care about. 🤣

[@DavidMcLuckie]

And this time one of them actually managed to output more than their specs on 12V. I was impressed.

[@filabatya]

no lifepo no fun)

[@DavidMcLuckie]

I keep getting comments that they aren't LFP cells, but no-one will tell me how they know. Could you share with me why they aren't LFP cells?

[@davet4580]

@@DavidMcLuckie at 5:45 it says Li-ion everywhere on the sticker so they're assuming that means not LiFePO4

[@DavidMcLuckie]

@Dave t That would to me be an incorrect assumption as all Li-Ion flavours are called Li-Ion. batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-205-types-of-lithium-ion
