Any chance you are going to review the OUPES Mega 5 Portable Power Station? Thank you for all of these reviews. I value your input and would not purchase anything before seeing your review. Much appreciated!!!! :)

[@Syncere20]

What would happen if someone accidentally plugged the two brick charges into the OPES power outlets and tried to charge the OPES battery .The system would be wired in a loop . I wonder if it would even turn on or try and charge itself ? Or worse catch on fire.

[@jeffpreble5119]

Got this power station April 15 for our camping trips. Thanks for the great discount HOBO! Worked fine for a few days/week and then started receiving E2 messages - 'battery low voltage protection'. However the unit was still at 55%. It has gotten worse since then. E2 message at higher and higher power percentages and drawing only 150w (trailer plugged in) or less. I've emailed the company and awaiting a reply, but the unit is worthless to me right now. 7-11-23. OUPES customer support has sent us a new unit to replace our defective one. There is no phone number for customer support that I know of, just email addresses. However, they did respond promptly to each email, overnight, since I assume they must be in Asia/Japan. They sent me a prepaid label to return the defective unit in the shipping box the new unit came in. Hopefully this one will work better. I really like the build of the unit and the solar charging; we use it for camping; just plug our trailer into the 110v outlet - no more gasoline/oil/noise. We have only used the new unit lightly while at home, but will use it more on our next excursion.

[@jeaneaton2731]

I’m having the same issue. I bough mine in 9/22 and followed the manual to charge it. I have had to luck in contacting customer service. I paid over 2600.00 with the 2 solar panels. It’s useless as I prepare for hurricane season. I no longer have the box. I feel like customer service disappeared, and I’m out over 2600.00 😢 Don’t know what to do. I’d you or anyone have any suggestions, I’m all ears! Thanks .

I purchased this product during Black Friday - $1445. I waited for a detailed review on KZbin but the price was right so I took a chance. Compared to my other " major brand " solar generators that include Ecoflow, the quiet fan in this unit is EVERYTHING! I primarily charge via solar so the charging bricks don't bother me but after seeing the efficiency test I'm glad I didn't pay $1699 for only 1700-1800 of useable watts. Great review as always!!!

[@adcraziness1501]

I was surprised that it passed the amplifier noise test. The dual 200w bricks is kind of ridiculous, but is a budget decision I can support.

Its always a better deal when a powerstation has multiple ports to charge it (especially multiple solar input. If one fails, which they do, you still have another option instead of getting stuck with a very expensive paper weight.

Thank you Prof. Hobo again for the review and code. Just snagged one right before year's end. I also think it's almost hideous to have 2 power bricks, but I also understand they are just using what's developed so no extra cost there.

[@richardandrews1806]

I like the fact that if one brick fails, I can continue to charge with the other one.

[@ericklein5097]

Agreed. This should be standard on everything. It's not an expensive upgrade, companies just choose to cheap out on components. Yet Oupes offers it and their units are 10-25% cheaper than the competition

[@jasonbroom7147]

Throwing a left-right at my computer screen is easily the most Pavlovian thing I do on a regular basis. Somebody at Oupes got a fantastic deal on a butt-load of those smaller chargers. I don't hate it, although I greatly prefer being able to use a simple cable without the brick.

[@drg7127]

[@gregyohngy]

I have an Oupes 600w unit. Although, I have pass thru charging, leaving my product plugged in as an EPS resulted in the machine overheating and dieing. I was only using a box fan on low. Of course ambient temperature was warm, but within operating conditions. They replaced the unit under warranty. Now, I charge it slowly using its bidirectional 60W. I would like either internal temperature be shown on the screen as my $100 solar generator or via an App like my Ecoflow Delta 2.

[@thedustmancometh]

I dig your vids, thanks.

[@KnittedSchnauzer]

I have the smaller, 1200w version of the Oupes solar generator. I have used it for several months now and find that it works just fine. It is true that it is a pain to have to keep punching the on button to see the readout, but that is a pretty minor problem.

Nothing wrong with brick chargers, especially if you rarely use them. They subtract weight and dimension from the main unit and make it more portable.

[@HOBOTECH]

I'm sure that is their thought if you mostly solar charge.

[@ndanieltx]

A lot easier to replace an external brick charger exposed to surge and go ⚡🔥 vs an internal charger. Might be possible to match off brand charging input bricks. Just my .02

[@s.i.m.c.a]

well...but this shiz didn't have passthrough function for the AC, due to it using external bricks and using DC at inputs. Kinda pointless device

[@tonyinfinity]

@@s.i.m.c.a Yes it does, what are you talking about?

[@12345howarth]

So true

[@xavierneckor8918]

Nice review. The external chargers are nice because that means it's not a bypass charger but they are a bit small. The price is great but the 108VAC output with a only 1KW load is a deal breaker. You didn't show the output voltage at 2400W but it's probably near 100V which not good for some devices. If the inverter can hold output at 115VAC+ at 2400W then it would be a real contender for me.

[@jerrywiniarski1176]

Thanks!

[@johnliberty3647]

I got this product with 480 watts of their solar panels. My first time every dealing with solar so I figured I best start with their panels. I still have room for 480 more watts and might try to DIY it as I get more comfortable using this. The cable that connects the solar panels to the device is extremely short so I bought an extension cord off of hobotechs site. 10 gage is probably overkill but overkill is better than not having enough wire thickness. All the downsides to this are strangely up sides to me or not applicable. If it ends up being crap I will follow up, TY HoboTech and tell Odin if I ever run across his litter box I will change his kitty litter for him.

[@johnliberty3647]

After hooking up my Oupes I found it comes 65% charged. I also found out that the solar panels came with a very long cord, I assumed the cord was short because the splitter was short and I thought that was the Solar Panel cord. I did not measure the cords that came with the solar panels but they were well over 10 feet. I also found out that you need 4 of their panels to connect to the Anderson Powerpole outlets. It does not work if you only connect to one of them. Or that is what the Manual said. I did not push my luck and test it. Eventually I will get another set of Solar Panels but for now I only have 2 of theirs. Not sure if I will DIY my next set of solar panels or buy theirs. This is my first time tinkering with solar generators and I have never dealt with solar before so I can not compare this to anything else. I have yet to use it other than to charge it. I will keep posting on this thread if something comes up.

[@johnliberty3647]

When using the dc cigarette port it shuts off when using a product that draws 150 watts. No big deal to me, The only devices I use with that are in the van and I can just use the vans cigarette lighter outlet.

[@HOBOTECH]

[@TheBreamer999]

Note quite sure why they went with Anderson Connectors for solar. Unless it comes with MC-4 to Anderson cables. My Bluetti came with the MC-4 to barrel as well as my smaller Golab 200i, cables included and I can use any solar panel. Not like the Jackery, which I believe has a proprietary input for solar and you have to buy their panels. Maybe I'm missing something here

[@johnliberty3647]

One minor consumer concern here. I tested out the cigarette lighter charging option in a pinch. The adapter going into my vans lighter socket gets very hot in 30 minutes. It could probably go an hour or 2 but it was hot enough for me to limit it to 20 minutes at a time. Other than that no complaints.

[@scottwalker2482]

For preppers like me, redundancy is not a bad thing...Regarding the AC wall chargers, I'd rather have two 250W chargers than a single 500W...In the event one of them stops working, you at least still have the ability to charge the device via AC input...albeit slower, said the turtle to the hare...

[@johnliberty3647]

Alaska prepper (youtube channel) said the very same thing you did about the dual chargers. I ended up getting this product, the dual chargers for redundancy was one of the reasons. Although I will rarely wall charge I still like redundancy. I also liked that there was no cell phone ap. I do not trust anything that can be detected or connected wirelessly. The people who call me paranoid about this also called me paranoid when I pointed out that built in webcams can be hacked. Turns out, webcams are getting hacked. The worst part about being paranoid is that I keep ending up being correct.

[@HOBOTECH]

Yes

[@spector2319]

Thanks. Will you start to test AC/DC port drain under no load (ports just turned on) per hour? I have a use case where knowing the battery drain per hour is important.

Oupes MEGA 5 REVIEW ???

[@Syncopator]

Biggest drawback is the 45V max solar input. I’ve got 3 BougeRV panels, and to use them with this I’d need to run a separate set of cables.

[@Aranimda]

Does the Oupes have UPS mode? If yes, is it fast enough to keep a PC on when you yank the power cable?

[@HOBOTECH]

No UPS. You cant have that with power bricks.

[@matthewjohnson775]

@HOBOTECH why cant you have a UPS with power bricks?

[@Spiderman-tg9ke]

Prices have come down since this video came out. I just got an ALLPOWER 2000 watt solar generator with 400 watts of solar panels for 1200 bucks tax included and free shipping by ordering from Walmart

[@ericklein5097]

Are the dual 8mm inputs for the dual power adapters the result of the 8mm port not being able to safely pass more than ~200 watts? I know with 5521 I've never seen anything more than a 10A female port (I've looked for a 20A and I'm sure one exists, not sure if the male head is really safe at 20A either). And technically since the power adapters are just bricks converting AC to DC if you had a battery that imitated the power adapters voltage output you could use those 8mm inputs to charge with said battery? Obviously not something that should be done unless you know what you're doing.

[@HOBOTECH]

I don't recall the rating on the 8mm but it was something like 240w. There is no reason to not include a 500w power brick with an Anderson adapter.

[@jeffholverson8294]

I have to ask an expert, wtf is a 100 amp BMS good for and can you parrell two or more to get 200, 300, etc amp net PS. I ask because nothing I want to power will run on 100 amp into the inverter... need help from the Hobo guru. Thanks. Be safe... Doc

[@burtmondocream4825]

Brick chargers or built in charger is an argument that brought me and my landlord to engage in Infisticuffs. (He won but i got a few hits in) final result. I moved in to a new space with jis wife. Maybe the fight had nothing to do with chargers jow that i sum that up.

[@thomasyung9162]

Is the battery 3500 cycles, or 2500 to 80% as stated on their website?

[@HOBOTECH]

3500 verified by the engineers

[@JimMcPartland]

Did I miss if this has UPS? The Professor usually plugs in his old laptop to test it.

[@HOBOTECH]

I mention there is no UPS

[@kevinw6282]

Gah, the bricks....and it's not even a great AC wall charge rate for having to deal with that mess if you want to go as fast as possible from AC. It's like every time a company gets down the final thing to really make a product stand out they go, Woah, woah, woah there my guy, we can't possibly make it that good, that's just taking things too far...don't be ridiculous. For this one, we shall give them two bricks with spaghetti. But nice review as usual!

[@fabioforni5722]

Was interested in the blueetti ac200max is it worth jumping to the ac300 it seems it's almost double the money for only 800 more watts of inverter power what is your take on this.

[@HOBOTECH]

Depends on your needs. I'd get the biggest you can afford but that's my opinion.

[@fabioforni5722]

@HOBOTECH I need 3000 at least just don't think the price is warranted there is only 800 watts difference and the price is significantly increased you don't even get 30amps out of the ac 300 to get true 30 amps you need the 500

[@kickeryou]

What Voltage does the solar charger kick out on? (45.1V)?

[@HOBOTECH]

46v-47v

[@rickreid5896]

Does is kickout or brick the unit. Most don't like any over volting.

[@VIrtualRaceways]

no UPS abilities on this one?

[@Ima-hoot]

Oops I mean Oupes passes the test !

[@nascar427]

I have read a lot of mixed reviews on this unit concerning charging and discharging.

[@BtsurvLT]

Can it charge as its being used so it doesn't run down?

[@HOBOTECH]

I did cover that in the review.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

Two 200W bricks??

[@davemack7740]

👍

[@og6537]

$1699 is a little high for a basic brand when other 2000 watt ones are closer to $1000 or .50c a watt

[@HOBOTECH]

$1445 and what other brands are 50 cents / watt?

[@toxicarius3894]

Help me Hobotech your my only hope. I need a portable power station for my and my wife's CPAPs that can last a week and fit in my motorcycle's saddlebags. they have 24-volt inputs but I have 12-volt converters for small one-day batteries. I am daunted by not knowing enough about capacities or even the right questions to ask.

[@HOBOTECH]

I don't know how big your saddlebags are but something around 1000wh should last 3-4 nights easily off 12v, probably longer if you turn off the heated humidifier. Check hobotech.tv/amazon/#Power-Generators for options

[@HOBOTECH]

BTW you can charge most power stations with 12v from your bike while you ride. You just need a cigarette lighter socket.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

OUPES's web site says 2500 cycles.

[@HOBOTECH]

It's 3500. They are fixing the website.

[@Trillville43]

So what about the 7% remaining?

[@HOBOTECH]

The inverter turned off and would not turn back on. That tells me it was discharged fully.

[@kenm8955]

Many of us have solar panels. The "Negative Side" to these Oupes is that they tell you that it may not charge properly unless you use "their" solar panels (page 8 in the manual) which are expensive. That's a deal breaker for me!

[@ericklein5097]

Do they give any reasoning for this? Sounds like your typical "buy our stuff because its compatible" when there is nothing proprietary about the source or sink device.

[@HOBOTECH]

That's marketing BS 101.

[@kenm8955]

@@HOBOTECH How do you mean sir?

[@HOBOTECH]

@@kenm8955 It means that virtually every brand says their product works best with their own solar panels when in fact it's utter BS to get you to spend more money with them.

[@kenm8955]

@@HOBOTECH Appreciate your honesty. So you feel this unit will charge with regular solar panels without any problems?
