Wow! That’s what you call a comprehensive review! Thank you!

[@goodcitizen4587]

Also like the geeky specs on each and every port. We love that.

[@user-pp9ot5ul4n]

I like all the upgrades you found on this generator. I must caution everyone on the use of an adapter that takes a 15 amp circuit and allows you to plug in a 30 amp connection. It does NOT change the amperage allowed, so bad things can happen if you overload (over 14 amps) the adapter by trying to push above the circuits rated capacity of 15 amps. For the capacity, PV input and DC output connections this is a winner. I also have that spark issue with my Renogy 1000s and like that you have a fix. I would have liked 100 VDC on the PV input ports, as that makes getting to the advertised 600 watts easier, but having two enables me to get to at least 400 watts per port easily. Jason, showing the ability to charge the 48 volt internal battery using 48 VDC rack batteries was a great addition to the review, thank you so much. This will definitely make my wish list!

[@Jasonoid]

Even with the 20amp to 30 amp adapter, you'll be limited to the 2400 watts of the inverter. You couldn't push 30 amps through that adapter, the inverter won't allow it for very long.

[@user-pp9ot5ul4n]

@@Jasonoid I agree if using the 20 amp adapter you linked to, however, I was more concerned about the 15 amp adapter you also linked that is rated for only 1875 watts. There are reviews in that link, that show the adapter melting, with possible fire hazards. I wanted those people to understand the limitations. 😃

Great review, thanks. UGreen is a solid company, unlike some others they will be around to service their warranty. I think this is a good overall size for KWh, inverter capacity, and size and weight. Anything much smaller can’t run a refrigerator 24 hours and anything much bigger isn’t portable for old guys like me.

Great presentation and a ton of info succinctly voiced. This might give EcoFlow a run for its money. I love that you can connect at least 3 solar panels in series without any issues. I have the Linx solar panels that I put as a package when I knew very little about solar energy from Inergy and so far I can only use them on my Apex power bank. If my other power banks could handle the voltage that UGREEN can handle I would easily make the time and effort to get adapters or make them. Again great video.

[@aguremmelg]

I have bought 3 EcoFlow products and asked for refund for 3 times. They have failed in some specs or just haven't delivered their promises. Take for example EcoFlow Delta 2 Max 30 dB noise level promise - in reality the unit is 42 dB and that's a huge difference.

No AC and DC dual charging seems like a pretty huge miss. Anyone using this full time at home would certainly want that if they had street and solar power options. Otherwise it seems like a great price for the options.

[@mas921]

thanks for the excellent remark about the xt60 to xt90 charge resistor!! super useful. also since you're going deeper into testing USB ports i would love to see what kind of protocols/voltage levels are supported by newer solar generatos. drones, phones and other usb powered devices are getting picky about PD and PPS support. am learning about this myself and getting a usb analyzer (fnb58) to test my chargers and cables.

I was looking at dual charge via DC + DC Do you know anything about this company as far as longevity, support, etc...? I'm trying to find a power system for a truck camper that can charge via solar and alternator at the same time

[@Jasonoid]

@@theclaxton the two best options for dual DC Charging are going to be this model from UGREEN and the Delta 2 Max from EcoFlow. They have very similar specs. I personally like the UGREEN 2200 a little more due to the 30 amp DC output and the higher solar input. I'd say UGREEN is around for the long haul. I met with them at CES this year and they have a HUGE variety of products but are just barely getting into the larger power stations. EcoFlow is also a great option if you'd rather go with a more established company, you miss out on a few nicer features if you went with the Delta 2 Max though.

[@theclaxton]

@@Jasonoid yeah, this is top of this list at this point. I was hoping for a 1500wh system for size and weight but 2000 seems to be the way to go I love the ecoflow stuff and actually supported one of their kickstarters but the layout of the delta 2 max is awkward I was also looking at the Bluetti AC200Max as well but this seems much nicer for the same price

[@Jasonoid]

It's not very big, it's just a little bigger than the E2000lfp.

[@TheGodExperiments]

Very nice, and the app and trolley probable explain why it's a bit more expensive than the FFPower offerings. Actually, wonder if they sell just the trolley separately as I'd love something like that for the powerstations I already have 🙂 - Thanks for another great video

[@Jasonoid]

FFpower and Oukitel have a cart for their units, not many other brands do. I love how they included it on this model. Maybe you could email them and ask about the trolley as a separate purchase?

[@user--PM]

very good ac and dc idle power draw imo. and super UPS mode! shame it doesn't prioritize DC charging, curious, if you tried to use the quiet mode with dual charging to see if it would cut AC down and accept DC to push up to the limit? the dolly idea is a very nice addition. Thanks again Jason for your great review, i hope that they take your advice and adjust the firmware to support DC priority charging.

[@Jasonoid]

I will have to test that dual charging feature again under silent mode just to make sure. The charging speed would be limited to around 550 watts from AC so maybe it will allow both inputs. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@StevefromOhio1972]

Hi Jason, Another great and thorough review. That is almost the perfect power station. I wish it had just one solar input rated from 12V to around 150V. 1000 to 1200 watts. instead of the two 600 watt solar inputs. It is nice that you can go up to 75 volts instead of the rated 60. The other small downside is, it does not allow dual AC -DC charging. This power station does have way more pluses going for it though. It tested very well on your grading system and has one of the best if not the best DC outputs available on any current power station or solar generator. It wasn't an after thought like on the AC200L. The Bluetti, of course, has it's positives over this station as well, like a 30A output built in and wider solar voltage input range. It's just nice to have so many options when it comes to power stations and home power back up systems, the consumer can pick what system is right for their needs. The Ugreen is one of those great options and comes with a luggage trolley also. It is also on sale at a great price at the moment. Steve.

I appreciated the app part of the video because apps vary on how good/bad they are. Now, that could be a separate video vs all together though. Saw another comment on length vs content. Just a thought/idea: have one "overview with some detail video" that you spend lots of editing on and a second detailed one that you only minimally edit (e.g., chapters). The 1st can be shorter, the second a lot longer. Not trying to add time to your efforts; just wondering if a different spilt, more videos. Of course, perhaps with how KZbin works, this maybe a terrible idea. But, I also bet you've thought of this and there are a bunch of reasons it is a "bad" idea.

While in UPS mode and charging from AC input the battery stays full and the power is passed straight through to the loads.

Great review but I got a question. I have this power station and twoo bougeRV 100W cigs panels (Voc 30.5v) . When I connect the panels either serie or parallel the PowerRoam won't start charging. When I turn the PowerRoam off and then connect the two panels the PowerRoam will turn itself on but after that won't start charging. (Car charging and AC charging work fine) Really need some help in this one.

[@Jasonoid]

I'd recommend having those panels in parallel since the VOC is pretty high. Usually an issue like that stems from having the positive and negative backwards or reversed polarity. Have you checked with a voltmeter to make sure positive is positive?

You'll have a great experience with the D2M as well. They are both excellent products.

[@larrywong7834]

I have the the Delta 2 Max and Wave 2 just like you. Consider the BLESSING. You can via cable use the D2M like a power sounce. With 500w solar panels driving each D2M solar ports( for total 1000w). I do that and my Wave2 air conditioner runs from 10am to 8pm daily 7days a week. I very very seldom need AC charging for the setup. Also DC(D2M) to DC(W2) powering is very EFFICIENT. Which is the reason I can run the W2 from 10am to 8pm everyday without any AC current charging. Granted each morning my D2M state of charge might be 25% but by 1pm the D2M is 100% charged via Solar. And stays near 100% charged to near late Solar hours. But running the Wave2 on air conditioner to 8pm brings the state of charge back down to like 30%. Im saying if you had the ugreen 2200 to power your wave2 instead of your D2M you will lose the DC-DC efficiency. Thus need to AC charge the ugreen 2200.

@@larrywong7834 I just used the ac charging with my wave2 off of my d2m for the first time and didn’t like the run time it gave me. Your saying dc to dc charging is more efficient, I’d like to try that myself. Have to see how though. Just got it and reading the instructions isn’t exactly my strong suit. I didn’t buy my solar panels for the d2m yet but thought maybe not to max out the charging. Seeing that you’re using 2 500 watt panels makes me think I should do the same as opposed to the 2 450 watt panels I had in mind. Can you tell me which panels you use and where you get them from please? Thanks.

[@larrywong7834]

@anthonymaresca4839 HI Anthoney. Plugging the AC cord from W2 to a D2M outlet____ I always drain out my D2M internal Battery. Thus must charge my D2M 2048w battery most days. I actually plug my D2M ac current cord into my Bluetti AC300.

[@larrywong7834]

Anthony here is my fun Learning. I have feed my D2M DC1 port with 3 x Newpowa 220w serial array. I have also feed my D2M DC2 port with 3 x Renongy 220 Bificial serial array. This is OverPaneling so THAT at early day or semiCloudy days or Late Day the Solar is charging the D2M internal Battery at a fast rate.

Which 12 to 36v boost converter are you using and what the amp rating?

[@Jasonoid]

That info can all be found in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2ibg6ugh72HpJY

[@ramor-fe6cy]

This might be a dumb question. The Anderson DC output polarity, is it really reversed?

[@Jasonoid]

The polarity is fine (red is postive, black is negative). The arrangement of the connectors is backwards for the standard that most use here in the USA. Easy fix. Just slide your connectors around on your cable.

[@ramor-fe6cy]

Thanks for your response! Your reviews are much appreciated!

[@holger_ger3391]

When will the expansion-batterys hit the Market? Does they allow external loading like bluetti.. How much will they cost?

[@Jasonoid]

The expansion batteries were quite ready for full testing in this video. I will do a follow up video when that info is available.

[@holger_ger3391]

Thanks for the fast response. The Ugreen is next to the Anker, actually my favourite. Your content helps a lot...👍

[@holger_ger3391]

Now i bought the Anker, because didn't know what the ugreen expansion will cost. And because I found a really good price here in Germany. 1175€ that's even 175€ less than the Best offer i found on BF (actually there is no tax (normally 19%) on solar products in Germany) Best price for the ugreen at the same time 1499€ Also - the Anker expansion is around 900€. I think the ugreen is more expensive at the release. For me the two devices play in the same league. But are still very different. I need just one expansion - otherwise i would have gone with Team Ugreen😉

[@Jasonoid]

The Anker is an option, you can't go wrong with either.

[@danielkramer8586]

@@holger_ger3391 I actually purchased an Anker 767. Haven't opened it yet. Considering returning it for the Ugreen. You think the 767 has some advantages over the Ugreen?

[@ccwstraightshooter9761]

You should see if you could acquire an Anker Solix C1000 to perform a capacity test. This is easily one of the most purchased power stations on the market, however not a single KZbin video showing a capacity test. Also of all the power stations of 2023 which is the best for each category, ie. 1000WH, 1500WH, 2000WH units.

[@Jasonoid]

I have the Solix C1000 👍😁 there's currently a firmware bug that shuts off the DC Output so I'm waiting for that to be fixed before finishing my testing. It's done well on my AC and DC capacity tests so far (86% and 89%)

[@ccwstraightshooter9761]

@@Jasonoid Was the bug not fixed yet in the v1.3.2 update? I’m having the same shut off problem with the DC outlet. Trying to turn on my diesel heater, it shuts off immediately.

[@RigbyCats]

Usually love your videos because I understand them for a beginner. This time I feel you were talking a little too fast and too technical. Would love to see you explain all that knowledge in a simpler way. I have been watching a lot of reviews on power stations and solar the last 2 years, including your videos, and this time it was too overwhelming for me. But I hope to keep watching your channel, because you are one of my favorites.

[@Jasonoid]

I guess I just have too much stuff to test in too little time? You can slow down the video a tiny bit using the video settings, which might help with my speed of talking.

[@baneverything5580]

My Dreamsky radio was never returned when I loaned out radios after a hurricane. Amazing audio and the one I loaned out somehow had abnormally great AM reception on weak daytime fringe stations. I bought a second one but it wasn`t as good. I have the best AM & shortwave receivers made now (for hurricanes when all other information sources are damaged) but I was impressed with that radio...except mine refused to work with rechargeable batteries.

[@Jasonoid]

rechargeable batteries often have a slightly lower voltage than regular alkalines.

[@molivil]

I had to have a double take on that. Just 75V for solar? That will severely limit how solar can be used on the UGreen. And no pre-charge resistors? The comparable and similar priced AC200L from Bluetti takes 145V, total of 1200W of solar and has a 2400W inverter. It also has PV priority UPS, which means you can leave it on solar and AC charging, and it will prioritize solar charging, like every self-respecting power station should do. I'd go with the Bluetti. Especially since their support has improved drastically in the last six months or so.

[@Jasonoid]

The Bluetti doesn't have a 12v high DC output anymore and you can't use both 100w ports at the same time. They both have their advantages.

[@norgtube]

Does it restart AC on battery top-up if it shut down with AC on?

[@Jasonoid]

Nah, still waiting for the first power station that actually has that feature.

[@challengeronrift]

Would you say this is equivalent to the allpowers?

[@Jasonoid]

I haven't tested that Allpowers product so not sure

[@challengeronrift]

Jason do you have Instagram? I need serious advice and unsure whether to buy a 1khw or 2khw battery. I'm based in the UK so we have limited solar charging. But I do want to put a panel on the roof top tent. Looking to do around 2 days of no electricity. Just countryside driving and maybe a stop by the campsite for showers etc.

[@briandodds]

Where do I get that 12 to 36 volt boost converter?

[@beverlyheatherdale4898]

Can a solar charging station be charged with a generator?

[@Jasonoid]

Hey Beverly! Yes, if you have a gas generator you can plug the power station charging cable into the generator and it will charge it up.

[@beverlyheatherdale4898]

Ok thank you, wasn't sure if it needed the clean power from an inverter generator or just a regular generator

[@user--PM]

a regular generator or an inverter generator will do fine, and you have the option to charge it at the quiet setting if your generator can not output the 1600 watts on fast charging. inverter generators are usually quieter than regular ones, as they can reduce their engine rpm to match loads.

[@jacksherman7445]

D2 Max was upgraded with a faster EPS, not a usable UPS!

[@Jasonoid]

With the new firmware update I was getting under 20ms on the Delta 2 Max. Much better than the previous 30ms speed.

[@martskeebstudio]

UGreen is a Chinese company yet I can't get it in my country (South East Asia) but America can?!

[@TacticalGhost007]

You need a 220-240v (European) version of the UGreen for SEA, not the 120v USA model. Wait and it will come.

[@jossushardware1158]

Can you charge EV with this?

[@Jasonoid]

It would slow charge an EV, it might give you 2 or 3 miles of emergency charge.

[@jnmc-vx4fw]

Absolutely not better then echo flow or the echo flow family. Nor the reputation, reliability and customer service

[@Jasonoid]

If comparing this side by side to the EcoFlow Delta 2 Max, this allows for higher solar input, it has way more DC output available, and upgraded USBc ports. I try not to have a bias towards any brand so that when I do these videos it's a level playing field.

[@Francoisdp82]

I read that it lacks some of the app features that Ecoflow has.

[@ericklein5097]

What are you smoking? This thing beats the comparable EcoFlow model in every imaginable feature. Ugreen is not some unknown company, they are huge

​@@Jasonoidugreen 2200 solar: Solar input: 12- 60V Single port: 600W max, Dual port: 1200W max

[@larrywong7834]

The solar intake of Bluetti AC200L has also elevated to 1,200W

[@kickgas7171]

It uses high frequency, low surge inverter technology, so it's definitely not the king. If it used low frequency, transformer based inverter technology, then it might be the king.

[@Jasonoid]

So what power station offers a low frequency inverter in today's market? I doubt there are any.

[@kickgas7171]

If you can't find a commercially prepared low frequency solar generator, then assemble your own. It's easy to do and costs less for more reliable power.@@Jasonoid

[@riaandewinnaar5040]

No solar priority on a solar generator... I'm mean come on. It's perfect otherwise and that is pretty much a deal breaker.

[@Jasonoid]

I charge with solar 99% of the time. I'd rather charge from the sun than paying money to a power company... but I understand the importance of dual charging and that's why I include that in my grading system. The new AC200L accepts dual charging with AC and DC up to 2400 watts!

[@riaandewinnaar5040]

Based in South Africa here. Not sure if you are aware of our loadshedding situation. Also have limited choices here locally. Plenty sun thought... Looking for something to start out with and the UGREEN would be absolutely perfect save the dual charging issue. We have the Ac200max available but that again lacks ups function... Seems there's just no such thing as "the perfect" solar generator. Appreciate your indept reviews. Learned so much in a very short time. Many thanks!

[@dougwilson8274]

Expensive, not a high enough voltage for solar input! Most home panels are at least 4o volts voc. so this screws you for serial connections.

[@Jasonoid]

It's takes 75v, which is better than 60v on Anker and Ecoflow
