I like the actual capacity testing that you did. It is refreshingly better than a video saying how much you like it and how great it is. Thank you.

Nice to see all this new content Dan. It is a bit unfortunate that there isnt AC feed-through (UPS mode) At least the ~13% overhead is very consistent. Perhaps i missed it, whats the max DC input if you were to pair this with a few actual PV panels?

Hardly any wattage 30. That's the problem with those power units. Slow charging with solar. Thx for the info. Good to see what's new out there for options in power stations.

Yes that is the problem with it. Only useful in dire situations to get a tiny bit of juice back in.

I suspect the best case use is o start with it fully charged and then use the solar panel to keep it topped up while stationary, and then whento the ccar to have it feeding from the car's 12V sig socket.

Definitely. Relying on the built-in panels to top it off is a losing battle.

Thanks for another great video! Please excuse the potentially dumb question, but why is there a loss on the 12v DC out? I thought only the inverter would have a loss? 87% efficiency is what I would expect from a mid-range efficiency inverter? Is the current being converted to AC and then back to DC on the 12v output?
@freelyroaming Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. As compared to raw batteries that I test, power stations always route their power thru circuitry before outputting any power. Even the DC outlet. As this unit has a regulated output of 11.5v, there is power efficiency loss. Also since I'm not measuring the draw internally, it will always be less with varying losses along the way.

Because it charges slower, the specs say 3500 charges before battery 85%. Some power stations say 1000 charges before battery 85%. In this respect it shines.

It's mainly because it uses LiFePO4 cells that have longer cycle life. Other lithium chemistries are closer to the 1000 range

Real solar generators use low frequency, transformer based inverters. This solar generator uses a low cost, light weight, high frequency, transformerless inverter with a low surge capacity.
@freelyroaming Жыл бұрын
What are you talking about? There is no requirements for what kind of inverter it needs to have. There is no established definition of a solar generator because there is no accredited governing body deciding what a solar generator is. That's why even devices with no built in solar panels can label themselves solar generators.
