Just a tip, keep your texts for more than 2 seconds in your video, like 5 seconds for the full screen texts, so your viewers can actually read them ;)

Just completed the break-in period and so far the unit is operating perfectly ukposts.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y . I was amazed by just how quiet this little guy is. I kept having to walk down the driveway to the generator to make sure it was still running. In fact, the most annoying noise coming from the set-up is a high-pitched chirping coming from the pressure regulator on the propane line. I suppose it's possible my other propane-powered generator's pressure regulator is making the same noise, but the generator itself is so loud I've never noticed it. Build quality so far is excellent. My only nit is the service panel is a little tricky to remove. I feel like I might break off one of the plastic tabs when bending it back. I probably just need to work out the technique, so will not hold it against Champion.Next week I intend to fully load the unit to charge a large battery pack and will update this review if there's any problem (3000W continuous load vs a rated 3100W capacity while using propane). Absent any trouble there, I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.

Awesome awesome video! I so appreciate all the detail provided in the video, and it’s causing me to reconsider my needs and the options that would work for me.

Thank you for the information about the heat when using lithium batteries. I was actually fishing for that exact detail.

Thank you for an awesome beginning intro for this newbie camper!

Thanks for the spreadsheet and laying it all out!

Thank you for putting out this great video!

This was so great! Thank you very much for all the research you did and for sharing the review!

I tend to go into nature parks or camp grounds. I own 2 of these and they are perfect for what I need. A couple phones, a portable speaker, the occasional lap top.

Thank you Jeff, This was super helpful.

Great video sir. Wonderful clear explanations. Thank you!👍🏻🙌🏼😀

Brilliant info, just about to buy a 2000watt power station, you are the only person to answer an ongoing question...... which was charging 10% ten times = 1 cycle... Thank you😊

Thanks for doing all the math and sharing it, fantastic work!

Just the video I was looking for. Very informative. Thank You!

Thanks so much for the much NEEDED Info you was so throughal and have such a Humble spirit God bless you 🦋🌼

Very good intro video on the topic for me as I contemplate my options. Thanks.

I am a Ham Radio operator, so I bought the Grecell T300. So 300 watts, so not the biggest, but very portable. Plus the 110 volt plug uses a full sine wave inverter. I've been told this supplies cleaner power. I will have a solar panel for it, before next summer. My only complaint, and I've heard this from others who have bought Grecell's, is no covers for the plugs.

I live off grid and since I’ve changed from AGM to lifepo it has been a life changing experience. The difference between the 2 are chalk and cheese

Wish I could have came across this video before exploring trying to find a power station for an electric heater. I've watced sooo many videos thus far and this one specifies what different types of packs are for. Good video thanks!! (:

Excellent explanation of all the things I should look for. Thanks.

Thank you for the amazing spreadsheet! Imma geek so I love data organized so succinctly!

You don't want to buy these for heating or microwaves. Get a camp stove or a Mr Heater Buddy or a kerosene heater for emergencies and use these generators for a TV and lights. If you run a heater or a microwave it will suck all the juice out of it and it will take half a day in pure sunlight to charge it back up!

Very good discussion. I'm in the market now trying to find the right one. Thanks

You do Great in this video explaining , needs verses product benefits … thank you

Great to have all this info together before making a decision. Lots of things to consider. I'd like to start out with a smaller unit as a UPS backup for my internet/cable TV router and desktop computer as we go through times where power flickers for a second, router goes down and takes forever to come back up.

Thank you!! I’m looking to get a power bank and charge it with solar panels and I had no idea about the overload protection. You just saved me from some potentially annoying issue lol 🎉

Howdy from Corpus Christi Texas. Outstanding video 👍👍

I've never had a portable solar generator as they are called but I've modified an uninterptable power supply from an old home computer with a few cigar lighter receptacles and set it on a deep cycle lead acid battery with a solar charge controller for the same results. Another modified jump starter with a solar charge controller, and 110 inverter has been another emergency back up.

Just built a shed and don’t want to spend 1600 dollars to put in electric. Just need a way to charge batteries for power tools and a couple of solar lights. Really good info about what kind of battery to get for a shed that will get hot in the summer. Thanks.

This video gave me a lot of info i needed! Especially on how to charge it using solar, im from Malaysia n it's terribly hot here so im using ac a lot, started living alone now n my electric bill reach myr400+ so that is very expensive for me, so while waiting to finish my lease im thinking of finding house with no mounted ac so i can buy small portable ac, n thinking i can mount on portable power station instead. But watching this video gave me so much info how to properly use it n it is quite hard too if i want to use it.. really gave me the knowledge i needed. Thank you!

I had watched another reviewer of various these portable generators. On the low end there seems to be numerous ones to choose from. Which means there no over lap in your comparisons, but in the higher end models it seem to become narrower in the selection recommended. The comment on the lithium ion vs the lithium phosphate are as you mentioned the lifecycles. But the other difference is the weight. So he preferred the ion for an emergency grab and go power supply, and the phosphate for emergency home power usage . The only one that’s with phosphate and much fewer choices. Bluetti is know for their phosphate batteries. I liked your explanation in providing information to make a educated choice. He explained the technical aspects and you the practical ones. I now feel I have a better idea which one to purchase. Thanks.

Very helpful, thank you!

Oh snap i didn't know you had an lg v60! Same here. Another great product comparison video. Reminds me of your portable monitor comparison video

🌺 Thank You So Much For This Information

Hey, thanks, nice overview!

Superb explanation, I'm a new subscriber now

For a novice off grid lifer I took knowledge from this video, unlike so many others regards power stations. My previous experience with a 100 pound version was it could not handle a laptop for long

When the power goes out, you don't care which one you have, you're just happy you have something.

Very nice video, this saves me alot of reading time..Thanks alot.

Thanks for the information

Great insights, Thanks heaps

OMG I thought I was back at school! I felt myself zoning out, but knew I had to wait until the bell before I could leave! Just gonna leave this to the men in my life.

Good product,great function

Great video, thanks a lot! What power meter do you use and/or suggest to check power consumption of appliances and devices?

Great video brother… I learned a lot thank you

Great Info! Solid video.

Great review. Which would you recommend to power up an approximately 120V home refrigerator for 10-12 hours? Thanks!

Thank you for the information. This is my first time buying a portable power station. I plan to use it for camping. How many watts of equipment do I need to buy to be able to use a small kettle or grill. Also, what is your opinion about Anker's portable power stations? Thank you for your answer in advance. Kind regards

So helpful thank you

Like how you just get right to it. subbed.

So many good tips!

1 Pass-through charging is a factor for me, being able to charge by solar whilst using the power station. 2 Also weight. Guys overlook this, saying 18kg is light, where women or older people find this too heavy when having to take it in and out of van/shed. 3 Length of charge cable is usually too short, so requires power supply to be taken outside for long periods, away from appliances and risking theft.

Thank you!

I wonder if the mentioned current (Amp) of the power station has the real output value. Many of the small power stations used for phones doesn't show the real value of the current, but the value related to 3,7V cell. The real value is given by the conversion from 3,7V to 5V, which decreases the current. For example, a 10Ah power station has a real output value of 6-7Ah, depends of the conversion efficiency, which is 75-80%, as I know.

Awesome info thank you

Too much voltage (panels wired in series) can make your charger go bang, too many amps (as long as the wires are thick enough) will go up to the maximum charging power and "waste" the rest. But, of course, you'll also get more amps and thus more charging when it's cloudy...

Excellent info

Great video can you comment on the wattage for a 12v refrigerator like the Euhomy 23qt thank you

What projector features in the video? Looks great.

Great video! Thanks!

Great video thanks

I need one with at least one that can keep my cb radio and my refrigerator and maybe a couple of bulbs too!

Great and helpful tips bro, thank you :) #ZinTravels

Does any one of these power stations have the "automatic restart" feature? Meaning that, in a power failure event, it will switch from battery power back to permanent power once the electricity is restored? Or do you need to be home and manually press a button to do this reset?

Excellent thank you

How much watts would I need to run a small standard apartment size refrigerator if the power goes out?

Can you recommend a system that will provide an uninterrupted type of power source during power outages in my home to keep my aquarium heaters and air pumps working: 8 plugs Total wattage for the 8 plug ins- 625 watts (this includes 25 percent extra for add-ons) This equipment needs to have power continously until city power is restored .....what do you recommend❤? Love your video, very informative and concise! Kate

Thank you for the video. I'm coming to the party late. What can you do to "Jumpstart" a flat portable powerstation? Mine went flat unfortunately due to an unexpected blackout. I've connected it to power for 10 straight hours and no response. Any advice?

I have a little 120w charger. Mainly for if my power in my apt goes out. Or if I go sit on my balcony which doesn't have outlets.

Hello, which one do you recommend for my powerful gaming laptop for 750 w

What is your opinion about Apowking Portable Power Station 500W? Thank you

what would you recommend for a portable fridge and a 160w solar panel?

Wow, this Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series seems like an amazing outdoor gear and home backup power solution! It's impressive that it offers a massive capacity of up to 5kWh and can power devices for extended periods. The waterproof design and fast recharging feature make it even more suitable for outdoor adventures. Definitely something worth considering for all outdoor enthusiasts and RV lovers!

what do you recommend for charging an escooter?

Hi, I bought a 60w Elecaenta folding solar panel which in full sun maxed at 33w but normally 29w, however if I put a hand shadow on 1/6th of the panel it goes down to 2-3watts! Interesting to hear your thoughts on this and also other solar installations.

Thanks for the content you share, it helps me a lot!

very useful information

Where can we get that spreadsheet you mention? It will e great to save it

Any suggestions for an efficient small heater for van camping ? I have a Pecron 3000. I am guessing a 500 watt heater will run for 6 hours. Is that correct?

How many South Africans are watching this video 😂

Interesting , Thank You .

Great info one your later,thank you.

Can u tell me what ur thoughts r on the Duracell power station please ?

Good one, can you tell me what wattage range I need to power a Roland cube street ex (50 watts), Vox 5 watt amp, boss dd7 delay, for approx one hour

I'm curious will this power my electric recliner they make specific packs for that but there crap like 2400 mah only lasting like a week long rather have something that last a really long time

Well done

Watt hours. That is THE biggest thing you Need to know. A 600 wh will NEVER run anything that Requires more than 600 watts, so, pay attention to watts. If you have a thing that say uses 200 watts. A 600 wh power station is ONLY going to run that One item for 3 hours, MAX.

Great review. The EBLsolar portable solar panel looks nice, but wish it was at least IP67 instead of IP65 - not sure if it can take a few rainstorms at a campsite. IP67 or IP68 provides more peace of mind but there are not many solar panel manufacturers that have that portable panel rating across the board. Jackery has 3 panels with IP68 - the 40 watt, 80 watt and 200, but the 100 is only IP65. I'm looking for a 100 that's IP67 or 68, that's from a well known company, but can only find odd named rebranded panels on amazon.. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Thank God for this useful information! How can one charge it? Can you charge it indoors by just plugging it in to an electric outlet?

The alternator on the vehicle does NOT spin faster or use more gas when charging. Most portable power stations now are NOT lithium-ion, but LiFePO4.

What do we use if we want to run a CPAP machine only ?

Which power station has the jumper cables? Can it also get power from solar?

Very helpful video, especially for someone like me that has very limited exposure to solar. Thanks

Jackery seems like a perfect power supply for a small busking band.

What will power a heat press

What would you recommend for charging your phone and running to fans

Much appreciated , which I would love to own, but I can not afford todo so..... Living in a small apartment and on a fixed income, makes owning portable power a pricy investment.

Whats do you think I need to keep a jbl 110 party box playing longer tht int built in battery life?

When I decided to buy one for Festival Camping, I calculated the entire power need I had: phones, i-pad, fans, flashlights, etc. no: TV or a/c or microwave or refrigerator. I found that a 160 would cover my needs. BUT, my house was built to support a modern household in 1953: Refrigerator, TV, swamp-cooler, record player and lights. When I bought it, I upgraded the wiring because the builder could not conceive a computer, home entertainment system, outdoor work shop, heat-pump, etc. So, I chose to upgrade my power bank BEGFORE I needed it and bought the 240 to cover whatever I 'might' need in the future. Maybe a c-pap or a travel-fridge for sensitive meds? After reading the reviews and watching the videos, I chose the Jackery-240 because a) it had high reviews and the bad reviews were from obvious misuse and b) it was pretty. I also found that I could plug my Goal Zero solar panels into the thing and recharge it in a single afternoon while a friend with a 1000 cannot even top his off in a day. So I would add, "Can you recharge your unit in a single day?" Can you recharge your unit in a single day while using it?" Also, Europe is going to USB-C and America is following. Does your unit support a USB-C or will you need an adaptor?

Just go to Canadian tire and get an 1800 watt eliminator in the amp hour range you want. Don't spend over 200 dollars on what is essentially a marine battery and garbage phase converter. If you need to run a fridge or freezer, get a small generator as those require over 2000 watts starting power for the compressor.
