Thank you very much for your answer! I have just subscribed to your channel. Would you then say it is a good idea to buy units even two rather than a unit an an extra battery ?
Had one of these in the caravan for a couple of years now and it's always done exactly what I needed it to do. As well as charging stuff, it is used to power an induction hob for cooking, also used (not at the same time) with the microwave, vacuum cleaner, power tools and so on. Granted i've not tried the competition but if it works, it works.
Do you find the battery stops giving at about 30% but when it charges it continues charging at 99% for a long time? Calibration could use some work but it delivers power reliably.
@@tdcattech Sorry for the slow response. Never had that issue but mine is permanently attached to solar, it's only dropped that low one or twice. I think the slow charge at 99% is intentional, the charge rate for lithium drops as it reaches full to prolong battery life.
Thanks for the honest review. I am in the market for a power station and have been researching similar devices. I found your review very helpful. Thnks
Wh / $ is good with these cheaper devices but they clearly have shortcuts in build and functionality. I still use my AllPowers but it's really the battery that is topped up when I have spare solar power. It's used as a backup power unit rather than a daily driver.
Have a few of these bought, 2022. They perform! Use 2 in the motorhome for those devices that require AC, no issues, charged on the road using the 12v cable or solar roof panel. Or combination if leisure batt is full. At home they power my kids pc's saving around 2kw per day, also my tv at night saving 7 to 800w pet night. Sounds pathetic for 1 day but over winter, 180 days, its significant. Have had some issue with only getting to 99% and quick drop after a full charge, but AP have been helpful in resolution. My neighbour, brother and someone who bought some tyres off me bought these devices. Its a game changer for self build or factory built motorhomes, AC power, martini way! 'any time. Any place. Anywhere.' Enjoy I find if it struggles to reach 100% stop the charge off ac, plug in xt60 solar, it will immediatly kick to 100.
Rookie question, I'm based in the North West of the UK and recently bought the S2000 Pro model. I was looking into solar panel options and saw conflicting info on whether 12V or 24V panels are required. Does it matter whether the panels are 12V or 24V and would a set up of 400W be overkill if I'm not going to be draining the battery regularly? It's mainly for a shed workshop set up running some small ventilation fans, low level lighting constantly and occasionally some power tool usage, maybe once every few weeks if that. Thank you for any advice and info!
It doesn't matter. It can take a solar panel up to 70v. 400w isnt overkill. Sometimes your going to want to charge on cloudier days and it's not gong to get anywhere close to 400w so a little oversizing can help with that.
Totally agree with this. Your panels must remain under 70V but don't worry about anything else. Go over spec so you can get a usable charge on cloudy days.
I just purchased one of these with a 400 watt solar panel at Walmart for 1200 bucks including tax. Shipping was free. Hopefully 🤞 it won’t disappoint over time.
Hi there I've just brought this allpower 1500wh , I have a jackery 500 , and 3 ecoflows river pro, mini, 1260 wh, so far you are right about the build quality not has good as the ecoflow, as for charging , I only use solar power it doesn't seem as straightforward as the jackery and the ecoflow , but I've discovered that I can use the mains on my lesser box's when there's no sun
I have a few different types too. I do find the Ecoflow units top notch as far as build quality goes but the inverter on this seems solid (even if the UK sockets are not good). I mainly use it for mains appliances now. It has its quirks such as inaccurate percent remaining but these devices all do.
@TDCatTech yes there some quirks, noticed that there isn't a thing telling how much time is left to charge just a percentage of charge , I suppose this is why its cheaper than the ecoflows , I've only had it a couple of days so finding out what it can and can't do ,looking forward to the summer to get out in my van
Percentage of charge is usually fine for me. I'm charging from solar 90% of the time anyway so the light levels vary continuously and a time remaining just changes as it charges. Bloody UK weather! 🙂
Hi there… I’m really not up on this stuff so any help would be great…. We’re buying a motorhome and would like to be off grid for 2-3 days at a time before going to a site to recharge etc… we don’t have any high tech batteries or inverters as yet or solar which is quite expensive to fit so considering one of these… btw monoman have them and they told me the charge recycle was 700-1000 don’t know where they got this from… anyway in an ideal world we’d like to use a microwave for about 5 mins a day (800w) and a toaster (we could use a gas grill) but essentially need to work from the van ok our laptops (both 45w I think) so you think this would do the job?
No, not by itself. This is rated at 1.5kWh which means that, factoring in converter inefficiencies, you'll get 1.3kWh max. Your microwave will use 0.2kWh across 3 days and if you add in your laptops across 3 x 8hr working days, you would be virtually over budget. Of course, if you can throw up a few solar panels, then you'd be in business 🙂
Thanks for that mate… it does look like a decent solution but I think I’m going to bite the bullet and go for lithium/inverter/b2b/solar set up now… this allpowers unit looks like good value compared to a lot out there thanks for the review 👍
I suggest this unit, I have bought S2000 2 months ago, it has been a powerful generator when charging devices, works really great! while the price is lower comparing to Ecoflow.😀
Depends what you want. This unit gives you much more Wh/$ at the current promotion pricing. It's currently £1,000 on Amazon in the UK which works out £0.66/Wh. The EcoFlow comes in at £0.90/Wh for the Mini at current promotion pricing. That said, EcoFlow units have a better app which may be important to you. They also have faster AC charging.
@@tdcattech Honestly? I am converting my subaru crosstrek into a camper. Rent is too expensive in the US and I want to have a house someday so will boondock for a few years to save up. I want to be able to use a rice cooker, charge my electronics, and maybe run a fan at night. I can charge the device at Starbucks. I am asking because the ecoflow is on sale this weekend for 1k$ for the 1600 version. And I am considering that.
If you can get the Delta Max 1600 for $1K, that's a great price. I can't find it anywhere for less than about $1,600. That would beat the price of the ALLPOWERS and would give you super quick AC charging in Starbucks 😂
This is a pretty basic battery with an even more basic app. You do not need the app to do anything that can't be done on the unit itself. While this limits the features of the battery, it's actually also very appealing!
@@tdcattech thank you very much. Because many people also don’t like generator who need app . Because when internet is out the app also I believe is not working. Special a case of a globally blackouts
The one I got came fully charged at first everything was working but after 5 hours I went to recharge it and it burned out . After reading some of these comments I'm not the only one.
Be aware of the inferior quality of Allpowers: We bought a previos S700 model not even 1.5 years ago and it just died completely this month. Allpowers doesn't care at all, so we had to bring a 400+ USD device to recycling right away. No we bought an Ecoflow, hope it's better quality.
55-2.1 is all but non existent in the USA unless you wire it yourself. Maybe some old school truck stop accessories.,.. but nothing recent that springs to mind
I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I'm talking about the low voltage (usually DC12V) sockets you find on many DC appliances. The most common around a home would be an internet router. In my case, it's lights, cameras, chargers, mixers, hubs, speakers and even my keyboard (piano).
I never got this I went for the VDL 1997WH unit mainly as it's got about 1570 and works on Lifep04 -and was about £200 more. I don't like Allpowers I pulled out of the campaign literally 2 moths ago - 2 years after it started due to all the problems people had

My wife sewed in screen panels on each side and also a Velcro straps so when you grab the handles to carry the cover won’t fall off
wonder how long it would run a tv for thinking of one of these for a glamping pod

Can these run just utiliseing the solar only?
This has UK sockets now in the latest version.
Used the delta 2. power airless sprayer sprayed the entire house impressive looking for one now
Hi, Will this machine run a xtool m1 10 watt laser?

can u pair 2 AP S1000's
Do you need a mppt controller for the any solar panels
No. Just plug them in and you’re good 👍🏻
What is the max solar panel input in watts please?
500W solar input. This can be combined with AC for total 900W charging.
Can I plug my caravan directly into this to run all the electric on it inside the caravan please

Does it come fully charged? As its due to arrive and I want to take it camping straight away!!!
It shouldn’t. It should be shipped at 30% or 50% as far as I know.
Between this and the ecoflow which is the better choice?

Indeed the front panels matters to me, but just 400W AC input, so 4h+ charging time, is a deal breaker....
This only works with app or don’t need apply to work? I don’t want app to work . I prefer without app .

even at 800 recharge times, say you recharge 100 times per year (not likely to be honest), it is 8 years......
Exactly right. That’s something that a lot of people don’t consider when seeing cycle numbers.
Can i charge my car.
No. You'll need much more power for that.

It definitely has some odd quirks and feels like a budget product compared to e.g EcoFlow.
Is this a marketing video, wtf?
I’m glad you dislike some of my videos. To be clear, this is not a marketing video. Plenty of reasons not to buy this. Depends what you need.
Did someone force you to watch this vlog? Watch something else if you don't like it.
Seems overpriced. Ecoflow is cheaper
