Rockpals 300W Solar Generator

[@FloridaFlipFlops]

Like 498 👍 Hello from Naples, Florida. We always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing with us, have a wonderful week.

[@deborahwright510]

Been following you with the Peoples Freedom Convoy..Thank you for sharing and now..I am buying this for my "bug out prep". 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸👊

[@odnanrf1]

Great job my friend, thanks

[@christopherkelly1897]

i just purchase the rockpal 300 from amazon and your youtub channel is the only one that tried using different items with the rockpal 300

[@basecitizen]

Power is not regulated and there's no pass through power on the AC side, so you can't use the AC while charging the unit. Also, if you were using a 100W solar panel in full sun, it would take approx. 7 hrs. to charge the unit if completely dead. You have a 60W panel there, so figure several hours longer.

They got truck washed made it to Barstow CA heading to LA area Industrial city to unload today. Dog's we're barking at the guys cleaning the truck walking around the truck. So funny crazy dogs. Rolling with the G's.

[@Murpheys.]

This is great!!!!

[@glorianetto2088]

I could use one of those. My place needs plugs updated so I used extension plugs in outlets to plug things it's crazy extension cords but I make do

[@randystites7409]

Seriously thinking about buying for camping and after several reviews and you are the one that just convinced me to buy it. As a ex over-the-road trucker of 20 years that coleman cooler paid for itself over and over. Great review!

[@Northstardanes]

Stan, you could use the solar/Rockpal solar generator in your clam tent, when you sit out there while van camping!! Like when you and Hobotec hang out in the clam "partying" relaxing, charge a phone, have a portable fan keeping you cool... I'm going to think about this for the primitive camping we love to do here in central Florida especially afterhours when I can't run my gas Champion inverter genny! Good review!

Hi from Hobo channel! Nice review! I’m interested in looking for that yellow light with the two sides.

Stan, Awesome job on your first review!

[@Ibis555]

Thanks and good job... just enough information, which is nice... Thanks again!

[@DavidSmith-bt6qe]

A fine review and now I know how handy that solar generator can be.

[@ricks.1318]

Review done "Stan STYLE" !!!!! Nice job brother .....

[@donaldlewis9734]

Great video. Thanks

[@heraldo2881]

I enjoyed the review Stan.. keep up the good work

[@RagingHamster]

nice review, despite no regulated 12v seems like a good deal

[@davemc4015]

Good review Stan.

[@chatomairi]

great video. I love your excitement the entire time. Your energy really sells it. These smaller units are amazing for light duty as you said during your video. I keep the watts under the rated output. Works great. These little units can be a real life safer when you need to run a cooler, lights or a tv a for a few hours.

[@aldon78]

Let me tell you, this is a great review, you tested lot of things, I will probably buy it, here un Miami we have to be prepared for hurricanes, I have been looking at the Jackery but they are too expensive, this review is right to the point, plain and simple. I was wondering if they sell the Jumper cables for auto battery? Thanks for the video!

[@frederickharron5217]

GOLABS has one for 300 (with 100 off coupon) that`s 300 watts, 299 wh with a LiFePO4 battery which is the longest lasting battery made for these things. I recently bought the Rockpals but the GOLABS battery is rated at 2000 charge cycles VS 500 for Rockpals and the 12 volt cigarette port doesn`t drop voltage as the battery drains like the Rockpals allowing you to power portable refrigerators/CPAP etc without them shutting down due to low DC voltage. My Rockpals has came in handy twice already when our power went out and I used it to power my WIFI. It charges fine with my 60 watt solar panel at 36 watts. If you want to extend the life of the battery in these never store them fully charged (store them at 50%) and when you charge/discharge, if you can, keep it between 20-25% and 80-85% charge. Between 25 and 75% charge is even better. But even with normal full to empty charge cycles you`l still have 80% capacity left in the battery after 500 cycles. I also have six smaller folding solar panels between 20 and 30 watts that I use to charge a large collection of the small power banks to run USB lights, fans, radios, and to use with my USB NI-MH and 18650 battery chargers. If your WIFI uses 12 volts you can buy a 5 volt to 12 volt step up USB cable with a barrel plug that fits your WIFI and power your WIFI with a power bank. Make sure you check the polarity of the plug before plugging it in. You can cut the cable and reverse polarity. Small USB solar panels easily power a portable USB fan even on cloudy days. Get a long USB extension cable, put the panel in the sun, and run the cable to a shady area or in a window for the fan.

[@donellefson5882]

That was a good review Stan, I will be looking in to getting ourselves 1 of them .

[@tree.65]

I appreciate you explaining in a way us non techs can understand. You speak my language. LOL. Thanks Stan!

Hi Tareasa 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹

[@jdedmnds1]

78000 milliamp hours is the same as 78 amp hours. All manufacturers label small capacity batteries this way to make them seem more powerful than they are. You really only need the milliamnp numbers for smaller capacities than maybe 10 amps. Nice job Stan!

[@garypollard9770]

I have went thru a couple of those coolers. They work hard in Arizona in the summertime. Supposed to keep your contents 30 or 40 degree cooler than the outside temp. So if you’re in Phoenix in the summer and the temp is say 112 about 72 or 82 is about the coolest the contents will get. Of course if you keep it in the shaded part of truck with the a/c running cold it would definitely keep things cool in it. That little solar generator would be handy if you were tent camping and needed a fan to keep a little air flow going and running a light.

[@upcinvestigations1004]

Hobo tech you have gained weight. Lol .sorry Stan I couldn't help it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂

[@shemajragin4606]

Howdy 🤠

[@jamesglenn6461]

To me, this unit is extra useful because it's so small. And the solar panels fold down small too. Just the thing for the coronapocolypse.

[@robhebbs7960]

Good job Stan. good review. I like things explained in laymen terms, Like your in a friends garage checking out a new tool. That type of power station would be good for young kids tent camping on a budget right? Gave ya a thumbs up .

[@carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679]

funny, Bob Wells also put out a solar generator - he's unboxing a Bluetti AC50s Li unit. I'll watch both and see what happens!

[@rc2639]

I have both the PS300 and the AC50S. The Bluetti device is far better than the Rockpals device. The Rockpals can be charged @60W via the bidirectional PD USB-C port. In fact, this is the fastest way to charge it.

[@sandiewilliams7228]

To all of Stan's fans: don't lose faith in the big man...he knows what he is doing or will learn quickly enough. The seasoned trucker has been down many roads and hasn't been lost yet! ☺️

[@ozziestrom9793]

Price is reasonable compared to the 300 Jackery, like $ 60.00 savings, but will it perform like the Jackery, that's the question? Good job Stan, now all you need is a white jacket and gloves.

[@francruz5824]

Can you use while charging?

[@roadtrain5910]

lol nice test Mr. Sasnak and you have some cool portable lights too oh and them 12 volt coolers are rubbish I have one its no darn good and wont cool down items in cooler unless its already cooled down first but after a while it will warm up the contents of cooler

[@jjjohnson8424]

I think you did a great job Stan! I like how you used a lot of things that reach beyond the Rv/Van Life market. I for one would find more use with one of those as a portable light to carry in the back of my truck, or something emergency related. I think you did a really good job illustrating that part of it! Maybe a follow up video after it has seen some use and what you liked and disliked about it (both are equally important!).

[@martymoosesamuels9515]

Will it start your semi project??? I know........I’m a smart a$$!! Lol

[@carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679]

20:17 - Stan, is that a Hyper Tough 1 gal shop vac? I might have that in my garage

[@davidmacek2354]

So when charged from a home wall outlet or your car battery , do you still call it a solar generator ? So then the battery in a car or truck is also a solar generator. Just don't make sense , I own a Goal Zero that I use and it wont generate all though will store solar energy. Shamwow

[@msnpassjan2004]

Marketing threw in the word generator to get people searching for suitcase generators to see these in the search results.

You didn’t do a good job. You did an excellent job on the review

[@msnpassjan2004]

If you use a CPAP machine, go with the Jackery 300. It's the only 300 watt battery on the market with both pure sine wave conversion and regulated DC output. Without these, the CPAP could be damaged. The Rockpal does look nice. It could probably power Stans little fridge for around 4 hours on a hot day ?

[@manatee419]

Not another product show. Just saying.

[@heraldo2881]

Free equipment in exchange for a review definitely not a bad deal... he will use it to help out the channel. Stan spends a pretty penny on cameras I cannot blame him for going for free stuff... you don't have to watch the video if you do not want to.

@@reax2237 do you get paid for the work you provide? I’ll assume so and if so why? You should do it for free because evidently that’s what you expect content creators like Stan to do. I know he gets ad money so no need to go there. This and patreon is kinda like a bonus plan at a normal job and is absolutely normal for creators. It’s really simple. If you don’t like it, move on.
