Portable power just got even better! [Ampace Andes 1500]

It has some neat battery tech for sure. Solar charging okay primarily a wall charger not interested in charging from the wall. I use solar to charge with the sun not the wall. I can not find anything on what the voltage limit is on the solar input? It's great these batterys last this long but if the inverter etc.. doesn't it doesn't really matter. I would like to see the industry focus on that as well. Most people probably think this will last 10 years but it won't if the other components wont. You are not just buying a battery. No one focuses on that but it should be addressed because its kind of misleading. Thats not a hit on your content I love your channel! To me its the elephant in the room that no one mentions. It's why I wont by big power stations like a delta ultra. I would just do diy victron type system because you can actually fix it. If my delta charge controllers go I am out 30,000 grand or whatever high dollar amount you put into it.

I couldn't find info on the solar specs, sorry. If I had to make an educated guess - it's likely the same charge controller as the Anker C1000, which is 600w / 60v / 15A (again just a guess). A lot of these companies pull parts from the same suppliers. For longevity, the SiC (and GaN) components in theory should last longer simply due to the better thermal properties. It is funny though, how everyone touted LiFePO4's long life, when in reality, even NMC batteries would most likely outlast the other components as well. Let's hope this LFP / SiC / GaN combo can actually deliver 10 yrs of daily use. 👍

11-60V is the solar input.
