Anker PowerHouse 767 in-depth review | 2300W AC, 2048 Wh LFP, 2200W charging

[@sam_millen]

Killer work as always Gidon. You always somehow cover the exact questions on a product I have in my head. Keep it up dude.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Thank you - that's great to hear!

[@alimuharremturan581]

@@TheTechnologyMan When connected to a solar panel, does it start charging on its own when the sun rises in the morning? Or do we need to constantly disconnect and reconnect the power connection? I saw this negativity in a comment about 757. What is the situation for 767? Can it stay connected to the solar panel without any problems?

[@bradkaral1188]

A very well done video. Thorough, clearly explained, well shot. Thank you.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Great thank you - and I'm glad it helped!

[@smikedenney222]

I have just bought the 767 which I have an issue with . I was powering my dishwasher at 2300w output. When I connected the mains supply to it the device started drawing 2400w mains power then switched itself off due to overload. Even though I set the charging AC input to only use 500w in the phone app the device just jumped up to 2400w, thanks Ian

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Does it work ok running something with a little less power draw?

[@smikedenney222]

Hi, Yes it works ok at lower power consumption.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

[@alimuharremturan581]

I know that Anker 767 has a 1440W maximum charging input. I have seen this in many videos. In your video, it appears to be 2200W. What is the reason for this difference?

[@larryowens9939]

I enjoyed your review and was happy to see that it is possible to use non-Anker solar panels. I am considering the european version of the 767 and would like to use 2 Risen 450W panels at 24v each connected in series. So... 48v input. Not sure about the 'open circuit' requirement. Should these work to give at least near maximum charge speed?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

You'd need to check their spec - are you sure they are 24V?

[@bradkaral1188]

Warning for Canadians who need an RV (TT-30R) port: Since about 2 months ago, the 767 (AKA "Solix F2000") units shipped in Canada do not include a TT-30R (RV) port. In the U.S., they ship with an RV port. In Canada, these units ship with an extra 2 AC outlets (for a total of 6) instead of including an RV port. There will be no retrofit or other way to change the unit once purchased. Anker support says units with RV ports will ship in Canada in early 2024.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Good to know thanks!

[@g5technologies-techupdates490]

I am thinking about using one of these as a power supply for a static caravan. The caravan has gas cooker and heating, LED lights, but I am really looking for it to keep the gas boiler running so I don't have to have a noisy generator running.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Good plan!

[@HarukiYamamoto]

Very good review. Would this be able to power a 1000w water pump?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

It should! Does the pump have an induction motor? Might want to check initial draw but you have a fairly large safety margin.

[@rmering]

Hi, thanks for the very useful video. I wonder if you have an idea how long the Anker 767 will last connecting a 500W fridge? If there is a formula to calculate it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Fridges will turn on and off with the compressor so your best bet is a cheap energy monitoring plug. Run the fridge for 24 hours and see what it uses in Wh. Divide this into 2048Wh to find out the number of hours your fridge will run.

[@mandrews1245]

Many are looking to keep their freezer and/or fridge during a blackout rather than all these small appliances. Maybe testing a small fridge, then a fridge/freezer combination and a then a separate freezer.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Good suggestion thanks!

[@recruitersanonymous3325]

Do you think this model combined with the expansion battery could could run a full sized fridge/freezer in an emergency? If so, for how long?

[@ms.crystal8280]

I would like to see if it would charge on a 12v inverter through a 120vac plug? Would that be faster than the car outlet?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

I'm not sure I understand you question - at 12V you're limited to around 10A, whatever you use.

[@TheLuisraider1]

Since it says its rated to last 10 years, does that mean it won't last longer than that? I'm looking into getting one of these to use during blackouts and maybe a few times throughout the year (about 10 times a year). Would I still only get about 10 years out of it before having to replace it? Assuming I take care of it and maintain it properly of course

[@TheTechnologyMan]

The 10 years is based on 3000 charge / discharge cycles and average use. So will less use the battery could last a lot longer. And that's only until it gets to 80% of its original capacity so still very usable even after that!

[@celik_murat]

amazing content mister gidon thanks

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Thank you Murat!

[@louieluis8840]

Can it charge itself while the fridge is plugged into it?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

You can charge the device and use the outputs at the same time.

[@samuelibiloye1794]

a quick question. Can the 767 Anker be connected to a Generator outlet in other to power an entire House like the Ecoflow Pro??

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Sorry thought I'd replied to this! I'm not sure I full understand what you're trying to do. But you could have the generator power the Anker and then run any household items off the power station.

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Any idea how to connect to it from Home Assistant via Bluetooth? I’d like to plot the capacity, charging etc from something other than the app that doesn’t log any data.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Sorry that's not something I've tried!

[@Nilz4FR]

Great video! Any advice if I want to use the Powerhouse 767 to charge my leisure batteries of my Hymer RV - What is the best "connection" without losing energy? The USB-C output? Thanks!

[@TheTechnologyMan]

I'd probably use the 12V DC car outlet.

[@Nilz4FR]

@@TheTechnologyMan Thanks! And just hook it up straight to the batteries?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Yes but this isn't something I've tried or researched, so I'd guess it should work ok, but I'd probably do a little more investigation first if I was you to be sure / safe!

[@Nilz4FR]

@@TheTechnologyMan Appreachiate it. Thank you!

[@glynmoore3730]

Do you know if you can use a 2 into 1 xt60 and plug in 1 solar panel and 1 cigarette connector at the same time. I'm thinking not as one is 20 volt and other 12 volt, but do you know the right answer please.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

It supports up to 60V input so if your solar panel's OCV is less than 48V you could connect in series with a 12V car outlet I guess but sorry not something I've tried.

[@glynmoore3730]

@@TheTechnologyMan Sounds promising. May drop Anker a line as they are very helpful, and don't want to risk any damage.

[@glynmoore3730]

@@TheTechnologyMan I checked directly with Anker. The input voltage from 2 (or more) supplies must be the same, so I suppose taking solar from the MPPT controller would mean it matched the cigarette 12 volt supply .... but not sure if it's worth considering or any gain in doing it.

[@LarryRichelli]

Do they have a box that would hook two of these together for 240v?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Hi this unit is 240V already for the UK market.

[@lauretterust4942]

Yes very useful, thank you~

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Great glad it helped!

[@barryhallsack8852]

I just got mine today and it has the reverse polarity issue 🤷

[@TheTechnologyMan]

I hope Anker sort any issues - please let us know!

[@luisgonzalezjr.7465]

Low wattage for the money.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

You're paying a bit for the Anker name and warranty - but it's still a pretty powerful unit.
