Thank you for your kind words! I completely agree with your assessment of Scott's review. He always provides thorough and comprehensive product tests. Speaking of power stations, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse with a massive capacity of up to 5kWh, perfect for outdoor adventures and backup power needs. The Cube Series also offers fast recharging, multiple output ports, and comprehensive protections. It's definitely worth considering for anyone in need of reliable power on the go. Happy camping!
Me too. But the internal voltage is somewhere around 48v. So you would need a stepdown converter to connect to an RV system. You can do that with a plugin converter. Granted, you still have losses in the inverter.
@this-is-slammin-549 not really. They don’t run at the same voltage as an RV, so they need to use step down converters. To add that feature with sufficient amperage to replace an RV battery, would require a fairly large chunk of extra electronics. So I think they skip it due to lack of demand. But, you can easily build something similar using a plug in charger and small lithium battery in the RV.
2611Whr seems like a lot-but it's only 217Ahr, at 12V. Two 6V Trojan golf cart batteries do the same job (225Ahr @ 12V) on our boat. The Yoshino weighs less (the Trojans are 28Kg each), and is definitely portable, which the Trojans are not. And the Yoshino can be discharged to 10%, I am guessing, whereas we never discharge the Trojans below 50% (and usually not below 70%).Exciting new tech, and an excellent review, Scott. Thanks.
Love all of your thorough reviews. Just came across Optivolt solar panels that supposedly charge even if they are in the shade. Would love to see if and how good they work if you happen to get any. 🤞 -western NY Troy & Aimee
Maybe I missed it but you spoke in the beginning about adding extension batteries, but didn't follow up on that. I can't get the company to speak to that so I've been in the hesitation box as a result.
Depends on your usage. If you need high power output (over 2000 watts) then the Yoshino is the clear way to go. If you want more portability and don’t need more than 2000 watts of output, then the Anker is excellent. The big advantage to the Yoshino is the energy density, weight and power output. because of the solid state battery technology. The Anker is more portable, even through its larger and heavier, because of the wheels and handle. It also has Bluetooth management through and app. Although, the Yoshino will be getting that soon. So it’s really about your use case.
The B2000SST is more like the 767 Workhorse specs. The B2000SST has 1326 Wh capacity and 2000 W total AC output. The rest of the specs are similar except for size and weight is significantly less on the Yoshino B2000. The 767 can handle 1000 W solar input while the B2000 is capped at 600 W.
Impresionante tu revisión, excusame que escriba en español, pero ahora mismo no tengo tiempo para traducir. Esa estación de poder, alimentó tu AA, Espectacular!!! Es una bestia ese Yoshino 4000. Tengo una pregunta para ti: ¿Cuantos años de vida útil tendrían estas baterías de estado sólido? Mil gracias!!!
The translation was by google translate: They are rated for 2500 cycles to 80%. so if you were to cycle the battery every single day, it would give you almost 7 years of life span but that just means down to 80% so you would still have 80% of the original capacity. Most of these units that I’ve seen from other manufactures generally rate electronics for about 10 years so I would say you have a good ten-year lifespan on a product like this. Están clasificados para 2500 ciclos al 80%. Entonces, si hiciera un ciclo de la batería todos los días, le daría casi 7 años de vida útil, pero eso solo significa reducirla al 80%, por lo que aún tendría el 80% de la capacidad original. La mayoría de estas unidades que he visto de otros fabricantes generalmente tienen una vida útil de aproximadamente 10 años, por lo que diría que un producto como este tiene una buena vida útil de 10 años.
Great video Scott perfect timing I was just about to order the Jackey 3000 pro which is basically about the same price but apparently older battery technology compared to this
The size and weight of the Yoshino is pretty remarkable. The output power is amazing. Just like we saw a move from Lithium Ion over to Lithium Iron Phosphate, I think the next big move will be solid state lithium. I’ve been trying to source some solid state cells from China for a year now with no luck. It looks like Japan is the place to look. It’s a good unit, I’ll be using it a lot!
@@Stonyboot GM Scott, great to hear that the support is in the USA that is always a huge concern for me and others after the purchase how do they support the product?
@tg9388 I agree. I they pick up quickly and then I got to have a normal conversation. I ended up calling about 3-4 times over a week or so to ask questions and understand some detailes for the video. I was pleasantly surprised. The name Yoshino kind of gives you the feeling that it’s an overseas company. But it’s based in California and the cells come from Japan. I’ll be replacing one of my Anker batteries in my tool trailer with the Yoshino. The power output is crazy. I still like the wheels on the Anker though.
@@Stonyboot Guess I'm not getting this now: 64lbs Jackery Explorer 3000 Pro has 3024Wh lithium-ion battery w/max output of 3000W and a surge capacity of 6000W but can be recharged in 2.4 hours with an AC adapter. So I really like the specs on Yoshino: 53lbs. at 2611Wh at 4000W Output Fast Charging Capability- 80% in only 70 minutes (AC). I think both offer 5yr warranty but this Yoshino is great product
Well done! Can't wait to see how the B4000 performs with one of the expansion modules attached...rumor has it...the B4000 will accept 1000W of solar, when an expansion battery is added. Also, does anyone know if the B4000 features auto-start charging a/k/a will the unit begin charging soon as Sun hits the panels, or does charging require manual input?
@lawrence, Good grief, the BattleBorn MSRP of us$999 is more than five times their Real-World value. Shopping around, you can easily acquire the equivalent for about a hundred fedbux.
I just watched a tear down. It's a dangerous lie. It's just LiPo. You could get the exact same thing for MUCH cheaper from another company. This is criminal.

I'm new to solar & power stations, planning to buy the B4000 to use as my primary energy source for my tiny home which has 1640W solar panels but noticed the B4000 max solar input is 600W. I know I need a charge controller but getting confused on which to buy and what to do with it, does anyone have any ideas?
haha i got a 20L canister with about 58,1kWh (166kWh*0,35efficiency) of stored capacity for my generator which is even smaller than the yoshino 4000 top that energy density battery bois

Understood, but the unit is infinitely expandable with additional modules which would increase run time. The main point is that I needed something to draw power so I could get close to the 4k watts mark. That was about testing continuous power output, not trying to stay cool.

You need to turn off your CONVERTER when using a solar generator. It's charging your batteries which is counterintuitive
I want to see a DC output that you could use to run an entire van build off of.
Me too. But the internal voltage is somewhere around 48v. So you would need a stepdown converter to connect to an RV system. You can do that with a plugin converter. Granted, you still have losses in the inverter.

Great job on the review. I like your approach/process on reviews. Thorough information.
Thanks. This was a little rushed due to other projects on my plate, but it just keeps pumping out the power. 4kw is a lot!

You shouldn't discharge this battery so low either. It is not a solid state battery.
Another great review. Looks and sounds like a great product.

Thanks for the info! I'll check it out!
I would like to see a "1 year later" update, please.
Maybe I missed it but you spoke in the beginning about adding extension batteries, but didn't follow up on that. I can't get the company to speak to that so I've been in the hesitation box as a result.
Last I heard, the expansion battery is still in the works. I’ll see if I can dig up some additional details.
@@Stonyboot I also bought a couple of these and Company told me a few more months before extension Batteries are available.
Informative. Did I miss capacity test results ?
So which do you recommend, the Anker 767 powerhouse or the Yoshino B2000SST? And why?
Depends on your usage. If you need high power output (over 2000 watts) then the Yoshino is the clear way to go.
If you want more portability and don’t need more than 2000 watts of output, then the Anker is excellent.

What 15kbtu air conditioner?
Excellent report Scott. I might be a customer.
It’s a great power station. The sale makes it a very competitive deal!
Amazing. I’m looking forward to more solid state battery products.
Me too. Hoping to see some solid state batteries for RVs. More power in a smaller space :)

hi scoot
amazing video 👍
Yoshino's Power Station is awesome💯
Thanks for sharing
You explain very well👌
When will you make travel vlogs?
love you both

Also not sure if its internal mppt charge controller is sufficient in handling 1640W solar panels
If you watch a tear down of this unit it's a scam. They're just LiPo battery. Don't get scammed folks.
haha i got a 20L canister with about 58,1kWh (166kWh*0,35efficiency) of stored capacity for my generator which is even smaller than the yoshino 4000 top that energy density battery bois
Is this true? $1.07/Wh? 2611W/h x .85 (efficiency) =2219W/h. If there is 4000W being used then it will supply power for 33 minutes.
great produce testing - but look for a better thing man. this does not make it after 5 to 6 months
Fun fact: These don't have solid state batteries. They use regular lithium ion batteries. Marketing bs.
I’d be interested in this info, can you share a link to the documents to confirm this?
