I have a EcoFlow River Max that stopped working, EcoFlow said ship it back for repair, only thing, an end user cannot ship lithium batteries over 100 watts unless you are certified as a shipper, so it is now essentially a boat anchor. In the future, I will NOT buy lithium batteries of any type. Much safer to built your own system with lead acid, gel, etc. Batteries. The future is a new type of battery that doesn't explode or burn up. When the lithium battery burns up, there is no way to put out the fire, so whatever equipment has the battery installed in, will also be destroyed.
Just buy the only true power,time tested,built like a tank,been #1 for yrs and still is, the Titan from Point Zero Energy. The only low frequency unit on the market
*Since most of the 2000+watt seen to float around $2,000, if you have basic knowledge of electricity and solar layouts for $2,000 you can build a 5,000 +/- watt unit with all the trimmings, and custom to your needs.*
Many companies produce energy storage products are assembled, casually assembled and shipped, all kinds of safety certification can not pass, if you open the energy storage machine will see the circuit board and wire chaos, only a beautiful surface. hahaha
When you go to ship the unit to the vendor for repair, you find out that federal regulations prevent you from shipping the unit if it is over 100WH lithium battery. Federal regulations require you to have training, certification, and permits to ship your unit. So, your expensive unit now becomes a boat anchor, the alternative purpose for the handle on the unit. Never ever buy another lithium battery over 100WH's. I now will have to build a new system using lead, gel, etc. Batteries.
I got tired of spending money on my gas generator and went solar years ago and my Jackery paid for itself and still works great 👍 NO REGRETS WHATSOEVER 😊❤
These power systems aren't really a generator. They can't generate electricity. They store electricity which makes them a power station like a battery.
Solar power station - you connect solar panels to it then the power goes into these and store power and obviously you can plug it in and charge it too before going on trips or just to have at home when needed. When shit hits the fan it is very smart to have one or couple of these things. Many people in the overland community use these and swear by them. Same goes for the preppers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
Solar generators are nice, but they're far from a perfect solution as well. To have remotely the same amount of up-time as a gas generator you'd need a massive battery bank which is extremely heavy and expensive, or you need to manage many panels which are also expensive and require a lot of space. Even then, after a few overcast days you can be left without power, and having been in that situation it left me feeling very powerless. These salesmen won't tell you the truth, but there is no perfect solution for power generation. My personal recommendation is to learn how to live with less, and to have both a modest gas and solar generator around that can power the bare essentials. A small gas generator is relatively fuel efficient and can run when the solar can't keep up, and the solar can keep going when the gas goes dry. You have options.
Which specific solar generator models, (when, in a completely off grid scenario, and with only solar panels for power), can be set, to AUTOMATICALLY turn ON the AC outlet circuit, when/once the battery has sufficient charge needed to create AC power?
I have the AC200max and my only complaint is that it's too heavy (62 lbs) for this 60+ woman. Lifting it into my rig is hard. I wish I had gotten one with a pulll handle then I could put a ramp up to my rig and roll it on. I don't see that the bluetti has one with a pull handle. The picture on their page shows one but I can't find it.
I’d buy a skateboard 🛹 strap it to that get an old suitcase or shopping bag on wheels take off the extending handle and then fit that to the skateboard, use small ratchet straps . Hope this helps
That sounds like a good idea , however, I already made a little flat dolly with handles and could do that with my dolly but I don't see how I could strap it to my dolly so that it doesn't move on the steep incline up to my rig. 61 lbs is alot of weight. Seems like I'd need a couple inch rim around my dolly for added support and still use the straps to support it. Don't want the generator tumbling off half the way up the ramp. I'll have to think about the logistics of that. Thanks for your input!@@sailingyoumeandjosapea6770
Well I tell you what. We ordered a ac300 and b300 battery from Blueetti over a month ago. It took a little over a week and the control head showed up but not the battery. Not a word from them on why we didn't get the battery. We contacted them and it took like 3 days and we finally got a response to the said they would send somebody an email about it. Do you simply cannot talk to anybody about the lowest level person who can't do a thing for you. So they might be a great unit but if you have absolutely any problem with them don't count on getting any kind of response. I guess I'd rather have something I might have a problem with but I could get some customer service with Linda have something so simple as not being able to fulfill the order and then not being able to get any satisfaction regarding it.
This is very late, but I had the same issue recently my with my jackery. To answer your question, delivery on chemical battery makeups are by ground only. Due to the chemical makeup, and also the delivery driver has to be trained to handle such package on his truck. Furthermore limiting the drivers. These material can and have caused fires on planes. Hope that answers your question.
I have a Jackery 1500, purchased back in 2021, Bluetti 180, river pro which is a brick and a Licitti battery box. I also just purchased a Firman duel fuel for back up. The only one I do not recommend is Ecoflow.

Aren’t these just portable batteries on steroids? The generator part is plugged in lol. I’m looking into them cause I live in a apt and can’t use a regular Genny.
Yes, IMO they make absolutely no sense for power backup due to storms. The solar won't do any good and the power is extremely limited. I would never waste my money on one.
What you're talking about is something like the "EcoFlow Smart Generator". It combines & compliments with the rest of the EcoFlow products to use gas & propane.
Solar generators are devices who deliver electricity through solar panels. 3 ways of charging are solar panels, ac wall outlet, lead acid car battery. If power goes out and you juice the battery you can recharge w solar or car battery. Very powerful systems because if powera goes out and you run out of gas you're fkd. Gas stations need elecricity for pumps to work. You can have these in your rv or van etc. And don't have to worry about dying over night w gas fumes. These are for complete off grid. Kinda like that movie where that girl found a bunker and decided to watch the friends sitcom finale. That bunker was powered by solar and specs. Props to the one's who think outside the regular box ⚡️
@@rcairflr Give this some thought....Storm will be over, probably, in one day....Power may be restored in a day, week, month,!!!! Who knows!!! I love mine!
These guys dont know what they are talking about. That jackery model was lithium. Complete waste of money. If it’s not lfe/lifepo4 which is lithium phosphate, it is a waste of money after a few years. Jackery 1000v2 is one of their first entries in the space, but years behind everyone else. Ecoflow and bluetti are better choices. Jackery also uses proprietary jacks instead of mc4 connectors that most solar panels have which forces you to use theirs
ADVICE please. I could really use some advice on what portable station to buy. My budget is around $500.00. I live in a condo and would like to power a TV, my computer, Wi-Fi, a light, husbands Cpap machine. Small appliance for 10 minutes. Fast charging. Definitely will add solar panel later on. It’s winter here not a lot of sun. After researching, I feel LifeP04 would be better option for longer lasting cycles. I’m down to three different brands but I’m open to any recommendations! It’s Black Friday sales! Eco flow river 2 Bluetti AC70, Oupes 1200. I had a Jackery in but they are sold out of the 700w. Can anyone tell me the best bang for my buck? I’m thinking at least 1000w even though I will only run out at half capacity. Might be good to have the extra in case power is down longer. The power company does forced power outages. Last one was 2 1/2 days. We also get a lot of ice and people crashing to the power poles on our steep road.
If you're going for emergency home power for a couple days at max I would recommend you get something with a larger battery capacity and decent wattage. Lots of stuff like coffee pots and heaters and electric grills run at about 1500w, and what if you needed to plug in the fridge? Also- expandable power would be a nice benefit to have in case the power is out longer than expected.
With CPAP Machine Needed and a Refrigerator as well, I chose The Eco Flow EM3 Delta Pro 1300 for The Watt Hours, Peak Surge, and No Software problems nor Wifi onboard This Unit is Just That a TOOL that gets The Job Done.

Unfortunately, you chose wrong again. None of the Chinese made high frequency, transformerless solar generators on today's market last very long when powering inductive loads. . They are of a high frequency, transformerless design and the cheap Chinese manufactured MOSFETs and capacitors used in these units cannot take repeated exposures to high surge loads such as full sized refrigerators, large power tools or large microwave ovens. Without an iron core, copper wound transformer to absorb the back EMF and high surge demands of these high inductance loads, typically after about a year's worth of use these expensive solar generator will become a non-repairable brick. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when this inverter is new but every time you fire up or shut down that inductive load, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in your solar generator. They also run much hotter than low frequency, transformer based inverters which makes the low cost, off spec, Chinese made components such as capacitors, diodes, resistors and ICs that are used in these cheap solar generators, far more prone to early failure. This is especially true regarding the amount of electro-mechanical wear on solar generator’s low cost capacitors. Inverters rely heavily on capacitors to provide a smooth power output at varying levels of current; however the electrolytic capacitors that are used in these solar generators have a limited lifespan and age much faster than dry components. Capacitors are also extremely sensitive to the high temperatures found in these solar generators. Capacitor electrolytes evaporate faster at higher temperatures which can reduce the life of these components. Another major consideration that you failed to mention with these high frequency, transformer free solar generators is safety. All it takes is for one of their MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground or the control circuitry to fail, and these units will send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire. Another consideration is that the vast majority of these solar generators are non-repairable. After the warranty runs out, most consumers will not be able to afford to ship these units back to the manufacturer in China to have them repaired. And at a typical shop rate of $125 per hour in the US, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it won't make economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried and have taken the inverter's PCB with it, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick. A far better alternative is to invest a little more money and purchase a hybrid, low frequency, transformer based inverter charger and a LFP battery. Your system will last far, far longer, it will run much cooler and can easily power high surge loads without being damaged. I know this to be true because I've spent the last 23 years repairing inverters. High frequency solar generators simply don't last when powering inductive loads.
Unfortunately, you will probably have to open the case and bypass the BMS and use a 3 to 10 amp DC power supply set to 3.65 Volts, and charge each cell individually to at least 3.20 volts to wake up the BMS. Just make sure that you turn off the unit before connecting the power supply and check the polarity of each cell before connecting the power supply, and use at least a 10 amp diode on the positive cable of your power supply before connecting to each cell. @@ilovebohol
You definitely probably know a lot more than me, but what I do know is a lot of full time campers use these and have no issues. Their warranties are also for 5 years. If you're using this just to run a mini fridge and maybe an extra item at a time throughout the day, I don't see the issue. Name me something I can buy for $600 that will allow me to power a mini fridge and a tv while camping or for use in my vehicle? I'll wait.
Where are the Inergy Solar generators? They are amongst the first and their technology is copied. Even the military uses them. How can you possibly rate the Yeti higher? You had to be paid for these reviews. I’m a user; not in bed with anyone. So, you’re rating these without using them in relation to world conditions. Have you tried to get support right from the manufacturer’s engineers if you have questions. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!Then do your ratings.
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS WHICH ONES ARE BUILT WITH THE SAME QUALITY AS THE OLD NOKIA PHONES. NOT THE ONES WITH THE MOST BUTTONS, BELLS AND WHISTLES, ETC. THOSE AREN'T THE BEST, BUT ARE THE ONES THAT ARE MOST LIKELY TO FAIL WHEN YOU REALLY NEED THEM.
Can I ask a quick question here? Is it possible to use of these for outdoor camping and cook food using electric stoves (with it connected to those portable solar battery storage unit)? I mean if I don’t want to cook outdoor with logs or coals…. 😅
Of course. However, electronic cooking appliances draw a ton of wattage--even more than running a fullsize fridge for the same amount of time. You're going to need to be judicious with it. Propane can be a good option too; Odorless, stores indefinitely, no toxic fumes. As a side note, something you might want to look into are evacuated tube solar cookers. They're more compact and easy to use than traditional solar cookers but they do come with their own set of drawbacks--they're fragile and have limited cooking volume. Still, I think they're cool little things.
All of these brands are great, but I really think Jackery generators are best for durability and will last you the longest out of all of these other generators on this list. I’m just sayin
ONE THAT'S BUILT LIKE THE OLD NOKIA PHONES WERE. THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR. NONE OF THESE REVIEWS TELL US THAT. ALL THEY TELL US ABOUT IS ALL THE FANCY BELLS AND WHISTLES.I DON'T HAVE ONE (YET), BUT FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, JACKERY IS THE ONE THAT MOST FITS MY QUALITY DEMANDS.
They are more than batteries. To say that my car is just a battery is to overlook some pretty important stuff. And I'd be pretty peeved if I paid for a car and only got the battery. There is a charge controller and an inverter, plus electronics to manage the display, etc. And don't forget solar panels.
The best is not any of these high frequency crap, there cheap for a reason, low frequency is the best all day long, and they are not cheap, but by the time you waiste money on a cpl of these, you could have bought a low frequency 1 cheaper. The Titan from Point Zero Energy
Your gas or propane generator is limited to how much fuel you can store . If you live in an apt , condo, townhouse, rent a home , like millions of most people , where do you put the generator and store the gas ?
WTF do people dont understand the meaning of "portable". All the others may have high kw hours but come in 67 plus pounds. I am not a Jackery fanboys but the explorer 1000 comes in at 22 lbs with enough power to even hike it up a hill. Try to hike a 67lbs plus object...hahaha.
I'm sorry but you have forgotten perhaps the most important model to review and which certainly offers the best quality/price ratio. I am referring to the Fossibot F2400... and stop constantly deleting this comment of mine!!!
@@dannyj5688 absolutely I own two. I use the echoflow delta 2 max all day for work with a 220 watt solar panel. It keeps my batteries charged and my iceco fridge freezer running 24/7 .
Environment! What about the manufacturing process of the solar panels and the batteries. The impact on the environment is affected by the manufacturing of batteries and solar panels.
Save the time, money, and anguish and just get a gas generator. What’s more important; you feeling good about yourself and patting yourself on the back for saving the world? Or having steady reliable power in emergencies?
@@fredericklockard3854 Thats what it cost people during this last fla hurricane, $100 a day for fuel for portable generator and people told me even more for whole house on propane, and everything was shut down, u couldnt get extra gas or propane, then what do u do? When things started to open in town, it was all cash only, trees were down everywhere & power lines, we couldnt even get out of our home for 5 days, 3 ways out were all blocked, national gaurd came and cut the trees outta the roads. Ima done with with gas/propane generators myself, bought me an eco flow with a solar panel, and I always have tons of gas in garage for my ride on and push mower, so got that to pour into car if need be to charge the eco flow in the car.

He sometimes calls them a power station. I think that's fair. As far as the title, it appeals to many people that see these as generators. I just learned that a couple of days ago.

Unfortunately, you chose wrong again. None of the Chinese made high frequency, transformerless solar generators on today's market last very long when powering inductive loads. . They are of a high frequency, transformerless design and the cheap Chinese manufactured MOSFETs and capacitors used in these units cannot take repeated exposures to high surge loads such as full sized refrigerators, large power tools or large microwave ovens.
Without an iron core, copper wound transformer to absorb the back EMF and high surge demands of these high inductance loads, typically after about a year's worth of use these expensive solar generator will become a non-repairable brick. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when this inverter is new but every time you fire up or shut down that inductive load, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in your solar generator. They also run much hotter than low frequency, transformer based inverters which makes the low cost, off spec, Chinese made components such as capacitors, diodes, resistors and ICs that are used in these cheap solar generators, far more prone to early failure.
This is especially true regarding the amount of electro-mechanical wear on solar generator’s low cost capacitors. Inverters rely heavily on capacitors to provide a smooth power output at varying levels of current; however the electrolytic capacitors that are used in these solar generators have a limited lifespan and age much faster than dry components. Capacitors are also extremely sensitive to the high temperatures found in these solar generators. Capacitor electrolytes evaporate faster at higher temperatures which can reduce the life of these components.
Another major consideration that you failed to mention with these high frequency, transformer free solar generators is safety. All it takes is for one of their MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground or the control circuitry to fail, and these units will send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire.
Another consideration is that the vast majority of these solar generators are non-repairable. After the warranty runs out, most consumers will not be able to afford to ship these units back to the manufacturer in China to have them repaired. And at a typical shop rate of $125 per hour in the US, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it won't make economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried and have taken the inverter's PCB with it, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick.
A far better alternative is to invest a little more money and purchase a hybrid, low frequency, transformer based inverter charger and a LFP battery. Your system will last far, far longer, it will run much cooler and can easily power high surge loads without being damaged. I know this to be true because I've spent the last 23 years repairing inverters. High frequency solar generators simply don't last when powering inductive loads.
Yes my anker 757 stopped charging after only less than a year of light use. How do we charge lithium when it’s totally drained?
Unfortunately, you will probably have to open the case and bypass the BMS and use a 3 to 10 amp DC power supply set to 3.65 Volts, and charge each cell individually to at least 3.20 volts to wake up the BMS. Just make sure that you turn off the unit before connecting the power supply and check the polarity of each cell before connecting the power supply, and use at least a 10 amp diode on the positive cable of your power supply before connecting to each cell. @@ilovebohol
Yo tengo un inversor Schneider 48v 4000w no se si son duraderos pero solo lo ocupo para mí casa de campo en México
que opinas
You definitely probably know a lot more than me, but what I do know is a lot of full time campers use these and have no issues. Their warranties are also for 5 years. If you're using this just to run a mini fridge and maybe an extra item at a time throughout the day, I don't see the issue. Name me something I can buy for $600 that will allow me to power a mini fridge and a tv while camping or for use in my vehicle? I'll wait.
Do you have any recommendations?
Where are the Inergy Solar generators? They are amongst the first and their technology is copied. Even the military uses them. How can you possibly rate the Yeti higher? You had to be paid for these reviews. I’m a user; not in bed with anyone. So, you’re rating these without using them in relation to world conditions.
Have you tried to get support right from the manufacturer’s engineers if you have questions.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!Then do your ratings.

If u know about the African guy who harnessed energy to power the TV without it being plugged in,he's the man I'd buy a generator from any day..
Maxwell Chikumbutso
yes he is also an african prince who needs your help, lol!
Is he coming to America to find a queen?
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS WHICH ONES ARE BUILT WITH THE SAME QUALITY AS THE OLD NOKIA PHONES. NOT THE ONES WITH THE MOST BUTTONS, BELLS AND WHISTLES, ETC. THOSE AREN'T THE BEST, BUT ARE THE ONES THAT ARE MOST LIKELY TO FAIL WHEN YOU REALLY NEED THEM.
Who wins? Ecoflow?
Yes
Can only power a fridge for one day what about the freezer? What if the sun is not out for a day. I guess they have their place.
Can I ask a quick question here? Is it possible to use of these for outdoor camping and cook food using electric stoves (with it connected to those portable solar battery storage unit)? I mean if I don’t want to cook outdoor with logs or coals…. 😅
Of course. However, electronic cooking appliances draw a ton of wattage--even more than running a fullsize fridge for the same amount of time. You're going to need to be judicious with it.
Propane can be a good option too; Odorless, stores indefinitely, no toxic fumes.
As a side note, something you might want to look into are evacuated tube solar cookers. They're more compact and easy to use than traditional solar cookers but they do come with their own set of drawbacks--they're fragile and have limited cooking volume. Still, I think they're cool little things.
Nice to see a review for 2024 generators produced in October 2023 🤣😂
VTOMAN jump 1,000 is a awesome machine. The 600 is too!
Just an advertisement.
Absolutely Appreciate Jackery Electric Solar Generator Plus SolarSaga Twin Solar Panels 🧡🧡🧡🧡
All of these brands are great, but I really think Jackery generators are best for durability and will last you the longest out of all of these other generators on this list. I’m just sayin
ONE THAT'S BUILT LIKE THE OLD NOKIA PHONES WERE. THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR. NONE OF THESE REVIEWS TELL US THAT. ALL THEY TELL US ABOUT IS ALL THE FANCY BELLS AND WHISTLES.I DON'T HAVE ONE (YET), BUT FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, JACKERY IS THE ONE THAT MOST FITS MY QUALITY DEMANDS.
This is what i call an apples to peanuts comparison.
Diesel wins every time….😊
Diesel is stinky & noisy👎
I totally agree. You can get parts for a diesel. How about for a solar generator?
Where do the millions of people renting homes and apartments and condos put that diesel generator????
These are batteries, NOT generators.
They are more than batteries. To say that my car is just a battery is to overlook some pretty important stuff. And I'd be pretty peeved if I paid for a car and only got the battery.
There is a charge controller and an inverter, plus electronics to manage the display, etc. And don't forget solar panels.
We have a water pump and deep freezer, which is best option?
EcoFlow
Generators? Power banks fit better 🤔🤗
Power station
The best is not any of these high frequency crap, there cheap for a reason, low frequency is the best all day long, and they are not cheap, but by the time you waiste money on a cpl of these, you could have bought a low frequency 1 cheaper. The Titan from Point Zero Energy
solar battery, NOT a generator. Big difference. Generator, unlimited power. Solar battery, very limited expensive power.
Your gas or propane generator is limited to how much fuel you can store . If you live in an apt , condo, townhouse, rent a home , like millions of most people , where do you put the generator and store the gas ?
I Will like to buy want
Please translate to English.
That's very nice
WTF do people dont understand the meaning of "portable". All the others may have high kw hours but come in 67 plus pounds. I am not a Jackery fanboys but the explorer 1000 comes in at 22 lbs with enough power to even hike it up a hill. Try to hike a 67lbs plus object...hahaha.
First frame, two level 5 hurricanes in russia... wtf
I'm sorry but you have forgotten perhaps the most important model to review and which certainly offers the best quality/price ratio.
I am referring to the Fossibot F2400... and stop constantly deleting this comment of mine!!!
these r made in germany, great prices, but the fossibot website is a scam site but they sell em on ebay
Evoflow is the best
@@jnmc-vx4fw right on...I own 3 different power sizes!!!
@@dannyj5688 absolutely I own two. I use the echoflow delta 2 max all day for work with a 220 watt solar panel. It keeps my batteries charged and my iceco fridge freezer running 24/7 .
Help need something to charge a phone, keep a cooler on, maybe a fan in an emergency-I have lots of sun
Environment! What about the manufacturing process of the solar panels and the batteries. The impact on the environment is affected by the manufacturing of batteries and solar panels.
Big blue wins
Save the time, money, and anguish and just get a gas generator. What’s more important; you feeling good about yourself and patting yourself on the back for saving the world? Or having steady reliable power in emergencies?
$100 a day to run on gas or propane
@@ImaTruther1 not sure where you got that from. That’s way too much. My whole home backup generator doesn’t use any where near that much in propane.
@@fredericklockard3854 Thats what it cost people during this last fla hurricane, $100 a day for fuel for portable generator and people told me even more for whole house on propane, and everything was shut down, u couldnt get extra gas or propane, then what do u do? When things started to open in town, it was all cash only, trees were down everywhere & power lines, we couldnt even get out of our home for 5 days, 3 ways out were all blocked, national gaurd came and cut the trees outta the roads. Ima done with with gas/propane generators myself, bought me an eco flow with a solar panel, and I always have tons of gas in garage for my ride on and push mower, so got that to pour into car if need be to charge the eco flow in the car.
@@fredericklockard3854 Well, solar energy is free...
@ImaTruther1 @fredericklockard3854 The EcoFlow Smart Generator uses both gas and propane & compliments the rest of their products.
THESE are not Not NOT "GENERATORS - they are simply BATTERIES 😞

It’s an industry standard to refer to them as “ solar generators “
They are more than batteries. To say that my car is just a battery is to overlook some pretty important stuff. And I'd be pretty peeved if I paid for a car and only got the battery.

Caps lock doesn't make you right.
He sometimes calls them a power station. I think that's fair.
As far as the title, it appeals to many people that see these as generators.
I just learned that a couple of days ago.
Nah…..
Solar blows!
When solar is all you have, it's a life saver!!!
@@dannyj5688yepp, Dallas here , power went out for a few days , generators saved us but im looking to get another just to carry in the truck kuz why not
