Not to mention your funnest comments

[@cedricerleward]

Regarding your hot tub. I have had many of those inflatable tubs which not only came apart but the filter/heater assembly ran through costly filters like crazy. Not to mention it cost about $100 per month to keep it heated, and you had to have it heated ALL THE TIME because it took so long to get up to temperature. My question is: How much power in watts does it take you to keep yours heated? How long do you have to run your power to get it up to the top degree of about 105 degrees? Using the bubble jets makes it lose heat because the jets are blowing cold air which cools the water. You can't just turn on the power and expect hot water within a short time.

[@Kitearmy]

Its not really practical to run a hot tub with this - you get aabout 4 hours of run time

How many batteries and what amp hours were used for the run times that you put up in your video? Also, did you actually run the devices for that amount of time or were you just using the estimates that the Nexus unit tells you for how long it would last with the current batteries plugged into the device? Good video. Thanks.

[@Kitearmy]

Thanks mate - for the run times I used only 2 7.5Ah batteries (as it is sold). To test the run time I used a single 7.5Ah battery and ran it down. I then multiplied that by 2 to get the estimate. Though for some of the tests I used the power station estimate. It would have taken to long to fully test all appliances - real time.

[@fredlee8696]

great review thank you - to bad that they didn't include additional features, i.e. solar input, 12v outlets and 12V input - would have also had RV, camper markets. Could have been perfect for camper vans - power tools and appliances - much more efficient to use 12V directly than going thru ac inverter (typically 20+% loss).

[@ericcaldwell3584]

Do the slots on the power station have built in fans for charging (and maybe even high load discharging) like the chargers do?

[@Kitearmy]

I don't think so - the charge rates on the power station are much slower than the high speed chargers

[@ericcaldwell3584]

Oh ok. Thanks for the response! How's the charging rate compared to the standard chargers (with only one battery installed)? That's kind of a bummer if there's no fan for the batteries. That's what sets those chargers apart from most of the competition in my opinion. That power station is still an impressive tool though! This may sound ridiculous, but I wonder how much runtime you could get if you had FOUR fully charged 28Ah commercial backpack batteries installed on it with the needed adaptors. That'd be 112Ah! Of course, that'd be stupidly expensive at probably well over 5 grand! One guy said that with four 7.5Ah batteries installed, you could only run a fridge for a couple of hours. I'll see if I can find the link to that video. EDIT: Here's the link. Skip to about 13:50 and notice the annotations on the video. I don't know how he got to those figures, but anyway. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noqxmnmrq9GthLc

Didn't see how long it could run that fridge, from the video it looks like it's about 1hr? Or does that normalize once the compressor turns off? Has anyone tested this?

[@otrookie]

I’m so confused. If I got this and ran a 1400watt portable ac how long would it run until the batteries are drained out?

[@Kitearmy]

it depends on the batteries you use in the generator - my best guess for best case scenario is about 5 hours.

[@stealth7g]

Assuming you have 4x 7.5 ah batteries and the A/C compressor stays on with a continuous draw of 1400 watts, You will get a run time of less than 1 single solitary hour.

Hi Andrew, i really enjoy your reviews. I’ve learned a lot from watching them. I have a question on the ego nexus powerstation. I recently purchased one. I was thinking and even try calling ego to see what the best way to store the batteries and how to keep them charged when not in used. Can I leave all 4 batteries connected to the unit while not in use, or should I remove them. And also I bought just in case we lose power what is the best way to store the batteries. Should they be stored 100 percent or 50’percent power. Thanks Andrew

[@Kitearmy]

Thanks mate - The batteries actually do a really slow maintenance on themselves - The most import part is to make sure the batteries don't get to hot or less so to cold - Heat is what kills the cells. The ideal power is about 70-80% but as I said they will reach that on their own. Yes it is okay to leave them on the generator in charge mode - lots of smart tech running that thing

I don't think so - 110v is the rating

Scott Devor it could, if your well pump is less than 1000 watts, and can start on less than 2000 watts, you could get a step up converter and attach that to the well pump... then it could do it.

[@shabblabbat]

Hmmm, I’m on the fence about this thing... you need power to charge the batteries to run it, so in a longer outage or multiday camping, you get one shot with your existing batteries if you have no power source, unlike a gas generator.. So that makes this just an expensive tailgating prop for a few hours of use. I’m also worried about Ego moving to 80v or 100/120v from 56v...will everything they have become obsolete? I wanted an Ego snow blower last week as we are in an extended winter and ZERO are available to purchase anywhere, online or in store. Makes me think they are going to move up in voltage.

ImalTman you dont get 2000 at that price point only with the 4x 7.5ah batteries which brings it's up to $1800 and for that I'd rather go with goal zero

[@Shindinru]

My problem with it is it's limited input and output connections. It's only input is a 110v power brick (edit: Kite Army says that there is another connector on the back that may be for solar), on the output side we are limited to older 5v 2.1A USB and 110v. When loaded with an additional 2x 7.5Ah batteries it's price is close to a Goal Zero Yeti 1400 ($1800 Yeti @ full retail* vs ~$1900 EGO) but the Yeti has inputs for solar and additional outputs for 12v DC, 2 USB-C (one 5/12/20v 6A and one 5v 3A) and can be chained to other external batteries for more storage. I could get a Yeti, charge my EGO batteries with it, charge my newer phones/devices much faster and power an addition set of items (12v DC). All while recharging from solar. If I was already heavily invested in EGO with multiple batteries and could get the Nexus as a bare tool then it might be attractive but as it is now there are better and more flexible options. *Yeti can be found often on sale in the $1,400 - 1,500 range.

[@Kitearmy]

How many Watt hours is the Yeti?

[@Shindinru]

@@Kitearmy - 1425 vs the 1680 for a 4x 7.5A EGO. It's continuous output is only 1.5Kw vs 2Kw for the EGO though. Sorry for edit, did 52v x 7.5 instead of 56v.

[@Kitearmy]

@@Shindinru Yes and you can hot swap in a battery into the EGO and use the for yard tools - this will squash the Yeti if they come out with a solar connector

[@Kitearmy]

Also, I have seen the 7.5Ah on sale too - that would lower the overall cost as well

[@Shindinru]

@@Kitearmy - not really. I mean each of those is an additional $250-350 or more expense. Like I said, if one is heavily invested in EGO already it makes some sense, but other wise there are other options that are a better choice for most people.

I know that you mention if have four 7.5ah batteries installed on the EGO NEXUS POWER STATION you get 2000 watts - my question is how do you get this to 3000 watts?

[@Kitearmy]

3000 watts peak - this is a big help for large motor start ups - like fridges

What is the runtime to run your fridge with all 4 batteries?

[@Kitearmy]

About 30 hours

[@BillEilfort]

During discussion of fridge run time, I saw the figure "200 watts" flash on the screen. Assuming watts = amps*volts, don't most fridges require something more like 700 watts? If so, how many hours would a *typical* fridge with 700-800 running watts requirement be able to run?

[@mangreat71]

like if I plug something in it that takes 240 volts will it cut it on ?

[@Kitearmy]

no - only 110v

[@yt3141]

I didn’t notice mention of a significant disadvantage. You can’t charge and use (discharge) at the same time. So you can’t use it as an unattended UPS (uninterruptible power supply).

[@Kitearmy]

That's true for now - don't forget that this thing can be updated with software.

[@adamcopple7131]

Does anyone know if will be available in UK, with UK 240v plugs?

EGO Nexus Escape GIVEAWAY (winner picked today - Sunday). How many times did an EGO battery appear in this video

[@jaytaj8681]

i know nothing about electricity but can someone help me understand how it's able to power a 200W Refrigerator for 15 hours, but a 150W shop fan will only run for 4 hours? I am looking for some portable power to power a countertop food warmer than can keep baked goods warm during street vending. My display warmer is 700W but I can't figure out how long this will power it.

[@Kitearmy]

OK let me see if I can help - so great question about the fridge. The reason the fridge ran longer than the fan is that the fridge motor cycles on and off. The fan runs the whole time. Makes calculating these things a bit tricky. Now for your food warmer the estimated run time with 4 7.5Ah batteries is 2.5 hours. When the new 10Ah batteries come out it could run for 3.25 hours. All estimates of course.

[@eighties8]

While it is crazy expensive, the 2 batteries alone are half the cost... SO its the same cost as the mower for example... I am actually going to be buying the mower in a month or so, so instead of the mower kit, I may just buy this + bare mower tool. Get an extra 7.5 out of it... Already have 3x 5mah and a 2.5mah (blower, edger, trimmer, snowblower)

Its just really expensive only comes with 2 batteries. Each battery is about $230 ,plus it only gives you 80 percent of what's charged because it retains the last 20 percent. Just really expensive which it would last longer for the price same with the jackery 1000 explorer.
