*100% best **Generater.Systems** I have used. A test for hurricane prep here in Louisiana: three AC units, 5000, 5000 & 8000, 3 fridges, 2 device power setups, 4 flat screens....AND I had 40% of the power meter to spare.*
I've had mine for about 4 years. I want a cabin in the woods and it is great for lighting up the place,charging my phones, we keep our laptops charged. Im also a plumber, I used this on job sites all the time. mostly to run my Ridgid 700 threader. When I need power on the job site I don't go looking for extension cords or trying to find a space on the power pole. I love this thing
True or false Considering the advent of PowerStack batteries, the run time for the DCB1800 Dewalt Power Station is STILL 4 DCB 615 12aH FlexVolt Batteries? Real world experiences only please.
Lol if you went to school and learned how to do basic math you wouldn't have to wonder. 15 amps X 20 volts X 4 batteries equals 1200 watts. If you are using it at its maximum power of 1800 watts per hour the batteries would last 40 minutes.
I've had mine for four years .... use it to run corded tools in the sticks... sometimes runs my small compressor to inflate tires in the field. Many many uses.
I wanna buy it, but I've been thinking buying one, i don't know how it works in hot weather conditions?? How reacts in those tough times hot whether conditions
Great review, I own one however, I don't use it very often due to the expense of cost of batteries. That was the one thing you didn't talk about very much is that the power station by itself is $500 minimum, and the batteries that you were using are at least $250 a piece, so that's a $1000 worth owhere's mentioning. For sure
I think the tool becomes more appealing to those people who are loaded up with dewalt tools and have an abundance of batteries. I wouldn't expect and adverage person who loves Milwaukee to get one
Is it a modified sine wave? If so, motors will heat up such as fans. I wouldn't use modified sine wave on anything with a motor except for emergency or temporary situations.
How much welding time does that give you ? I have several 9ah & I'm thinking more 9ah would give similar time for cheaper & easier to replace if one fails 😂
It depends on so many factors. Remember this is for emergency stuff so don't pretend to build a whole fence or gate with it. It's more for like a few weld spots to get you out the bind until you can fix it properly
4 * 20v * 9Ah = 720 Wh. A 720 Wh solar power station now costs only about 500 to 550 bucks on Amazon. This power station is very expensive, unless you have a lot of DeWalt power tool that can run those 20v batteries.
@@loucifer4205 Of course not, cause they state the maximum output which is based on some "optimal" conditions, like optimal operating temperature. Temperature, relative humidity, and the way you charge and use them will affect the performance and durability of these power stations. Even Tesla batteries suck too. There are a ton of complaints from users in California cause of the high temperature, especially on highways there. The best operating temperature of these lithium battery is from 45-80F.
youre missing the part where this pumps out 1800W. Those solar power stations online usually max around 700 watts at that price. 700 is definitely not enough to run some things like a good microwave or something.
Thanks for the video, Andrew. I'm desperate to go cordless (all corded atm) and am wondering if I can run a shopvac/miter saw or shopvac/table saw. All three are rated 15 amp... Thoughts on using the power bank?
@@glockman9c I kinda want one, but my entire collection is cordless flexvolt. I would be confusing my wife to much. Waiting for my 60v hammer drill DCD460B to arrive. Powerful enough to auger 7" diameter post holes over 2' deep...
2amp charging is the best thing for longevity of the more expensive 8-12 AH flexvolt batteries. If more power output is needed then a gas powered generator is the way to go. It definitely has specific uses and is not as useful as a gas generator
@@drewelliott2067 Yeah I've just gotten used to my 8 amp DeWalt charger. 6 amp hour flex volt is the largest one I have. But that thing charges up my 2 and 3 amp hour batteries so fast on the job.
@Harry Wang The total power generated depends on what batteries you use. Dewalt uses 20 volt batteries. Say if you use 4 20v each rated at 9Ah. That will be a total of 4*20v*9Ah = 720 Wh of power. If you use a 1000W appliance, that will be 0.72 hours of use at the most. Then you will have to recharge it again. And nowadays you can buy solar power station at less than 70 to 90 cents per Wh. 720 Wh should cost you less than 520 to 640 bucks with built-in batteries. Unless you have a lot of power tools that use those 20 volt DeWalt batteries, it is hard to justify buying their power stations.
@Harry Wang I don't know what voltage your solar panel has. If it is 12 volt, then you can buy any solar power station with 12 volt and any power wattage above 70w input. Any solar power station can take a lower but not a higher input wattage than specified. If you buy from Amazon, you can ask the seller whether their power station is compatible with your solar panel.

Can only imagine the run time on these with the upcoming 15.0 Flexvolt batteries be 🤯🤯

I hope it’s good I just Hurd about this product and I have 6 just hanging around
@@Kyle-ut4jgsoooo true
I am wondering if pulling a 600-watt load from power tool batteries until depletion would harm the batteries. Thanks
Can, You charge one battery at a time with this thing ?
Friend has a dcb104 have the charger stopped working and it looks like no parts
how long would it run a 5000 btu a c
Can you run a space heater
Can you plug a surge protector into it and run multiple things at once?
They need a pure sine wave version
I’ve had 6 15amp flex volt batteries for a year now not knowing this existed, thanks random RUclips video 👏🫨
I've had mine for four years .... use it to run corded tools in the sticks... sometimes runs my small compressor to inflate tires in the field. Many many uses.
What can I use to clean up the signal to run sensitive devices?
what do you mean by "it ran for a super long time"? how many hours exactly. looking into buying it
Some upgrades for the next version: (1) 12v output (2) parallel battery charging option (3) pure sine wave (4) solar input
Its such a good Idea. They all should make one. Also... nice quiver!

I’m running mine with the new 15 amp batteries and I can run an 80 amp welder no problem

It has a trip switch, it powered my stick welder that's 120/240 and it tripped it

Should work.
What absolute menace of a shop vac do you have lmao, most I've seen are 12 amp and under
Enlightening video Big money for that power station
Don’t recommend buying it specifically for when the power goes out? Tell me you don’t live in Texas without telling me you don’t live in Texas
Very good work
Nah not in UK these batteries are £200 each I'm not spending 1k plus to power something when most things are battery powered
Got mine on sale for $199.
Should have bought 5 of them.
Where did you buy it my friend????
@@elcaminante2222 - Lowe’s believe it or not. Bought it online and flew to the store to pick it up.

I don’t get how they can charge $500 without batteries, I could just pick up a ecoflow from Costco for less
Expensive per watt cost. 300 charge cycles , more e waste in usa
