These are the videos the world needs Sharrieff! seriously thought I had power systems figured out and it just kept getting more and more complicated and required more and more parts whereas your guide with power systems has made me more than confident that I will have more than enough power (I went for a 2000w output unit!)

@astranger448 2 роки тому

Important thing. There is Lithium-Ion, light and powerful but does not last and then there is LiFePo (Lithium Iron Phosphate) which is not as light nor as powerful but lasts a lot longer and is a lot less prone to catastrophic destruction. Anker and many other brands use LiFePo but not all. The light(8pounnd unit) might be Lithium-Ion and will not last if you charge/discharge a lot, the heave one is for sure LiFePo and will last for 10 years even if you charge/discharge every day. Big difference in durability so check before you buy if you need a lot of discharges.

Hey, I’m thinking of getting the new anker 757 because I want my ps5, electric stove top, etc. so a lot of power but it only allows 300 watt max solar, would it then be possible to use three 100 watt panels for that one then one 100 watt for the mini one by chance? Also do you think I can use these for lighting, cameras, as well?

@wrbWRX 2 роки тому

I feel like going with 2 of the smaller ones is a better choice, lower cost then 1 of the bigger ones. Would have the portability of the small package. If running solar could hook up 100watt panel to each. Is there something I’m missing that makes the bigger one better?

@katew9927 2 роки тому

I'm guessing that if you want to keep your food safe in the fridge, you'll go with the larger one.

@nomaderic Рік тому

The bigger one is expandable, you can add expansion batteries that they sell to it. It really all just depends what you are using it for. If it's something that draws a lot of power you are much better off getting the big one.

@AlwaysWorking2008 5 місяців тому

What I wonder is if a 100w solar panel hooked up to either of these power stations will keep up enough that the fridge can be run for a few days. Given that the fridge isn't running at full draw the entire time, does the solar charging "catch up" enough during the day to cover the draw over night?

@valerierichardson458 2 роки тому

i know you did review the 2000w but how much solar input can the 2000 watts receive?

900 or 700 watts. 900 for the AC200Max and 700 on the AC200P.

Did you say this unit can be used to power devices AND take solar charging at the same time? So, if I lost power at home I could power my devices and keep them running indefinitely if I have it connected and charging from the solar panels?

@33Jenesis Рік тому

I like to use small electric appliances like grill, pot, hot plate, heating pad, small heater etc.. it is hard to find 500w or under. I bought a 500w output battery generator thinking it is enough. I found that most of my cooking appliances need 600w. Heating pad works but using it causes my ipad (that also connects to the generator) to have crazy touchscreen. I was fed up with the limitation so I returned it and get a 1200w AC output generator instead (paying twice as much of course).

@jasminem3902 2 роки тому

I will also add you would need a battery that is over 700 watt capacity to do what you are trying to do. Because just a 700 watt battery would only run your gaming system for 1 hour and that's not even accounting for your fridge.

@nomaderic Рік тому

@Catherine B this is as simple as I can make it......the power of the box is basically how much power you have. If you have the 500 one then you have 500w of power......now let's say you want to use a fridge that draws 50w of power. That means you can run that fridge for 10 hours....500 divided by 50 is 10. Does that make sense?
