  • In this video I review and test this Oupes 600w portable power station / battery. This battery is priced extremely well when you have the $100 coupon available, so watch for that to be available when purchasing this power station. I'd recommend this LiFePO4 power station for anyone looking to run a 12v compressor fridges or other low power devices while camping or emergencies. It's not a perfect power station, I would like to see better AC inverter efficiency.

    Well I can't believe you took my advice and gave this a try that's awesome! I use mine in my car everyday and keep my set power 45d refrigerator going all day as well as use it for pressure cooking since it can handle 600 watts I have a pressure cooker that is about 500 to 600 watts so I can eat while I'm driving. And I can recharge this thing over and over again and still have a great life to it. Great video and I'm glad you like it as much as I do! When I got it there was $190 coupon and if you want to get in touch with the company message them through Amazon because I've been in constant contact with the company ever since I bought it and when they reply it comes up as JX power.

      It's the prepameal 3 quart pressure cooker. Just Amazon it and you can't miss it. I needed a power station that is LiFePO4, 500wh and a 600w inverter. If you look there are not many and this one seemed like a steal. This was before eb55 came out and the eb70 I felt was too expensive and I need a screen with a percentage. I felt like this was the best option. Plus the price

    Hey, quiet pleased with your content. Desperately waiting for you to do the video on the battery hookup 100ah battery. I ordered four kits of them, to make a backup solution for power outage. I have seen landscape wire usage in your videos. Question about the landscape wire, is the 12/2 landscape good enough to use with two hundred watt panels in series? If yes what are the max watts I can achieve using them safely, and do they really need to be buried.

    • @Jasonoid
      @Jasonoid  2 года назад +1

      Thanks Mace! I have quite a few projects, reviews, and other videos I'm working on so that DIY 100ah battery will be coming out soon, maybe in the next 3 weeks or so. Newborn, kids, and a full time job so I've been super busy.
      As for using landscape 12/2 wire, it can handle 20 amps, so it could handle the max power of 360 watts (18v x 20amps). It doesn't have to be buried in a portable/temporary setup but if you wanted something permanent you'd probably want to protect it in conduit or something.

This would not be good if a refrigerator was plugged and the air temperature was so cool that the compressor in the refrigerator did not need to come on for a few hours. When it needed to come on, the power was off and you would need to press the button to turn it back on. Does this unit have a timed shut off on the cigarette socket? Thanks.

Could you tell me what size Power CONVERTER OR INVERTER to buy because I think with these portable power stations only getting a couple nights of running my C-pap with the humidifier off and spending all that money for just maybe 2 or 3 nights I think it would be better for me to just buy another deep cycle marine battery and buy a power converter to hook to the battery so I can plug my c-pap into that. I have a 410w power converter now that works but on my latest camping trip a couple of days ago we noticed that the fan would come on when I inhaled then go off.

The Bibene is scheduled for delivery on Monday. It's tempting to send back the Bibene save $43 and nearly double my charging speed.

      If you think you'll have a way to dual charge it up with USBc and solar panels on the go it might be worth swapping. I don't really see another way to easily get that 60watts additional charging unless you have another power station or USBc wall charger.

      This one has more capacity, higher watt inverter, and faster charging (dual 160 watt charging). The Bibene is a little more compact but only charges at 85 watts or so. They both are great options. You can't go wrong with either one!

    How often would you charge this when not in use? Once a month or a few times a year? I'm assuming not to leave this plugged in to an ac outlet all the time?

    • @Jasonoid
      @Jasonoid  2 года назад +1

      They like to sit at 80% charge when not in use. That will give you the best cycles over time. I would charge it once every 3 months as it's not being used.

    How did you pareil the solar panels

    • @Jasonoid
      @Jasonoid  2 года назад

      They have adapters that you can purchase. The adapter connects the positive leads together and the negative leads together. It depends on the solar panel you own (they all have different connections). This connection of solar panels adds up the power so you can get more watts into a power station.

    Good review
    I bought a cheap battery Marbero 222wh battery.
    It does NOT have an AC inverter and it does NOT have a 12v cigarette lighter plug.
    It comes with an adapter to connect any cigarette lighter plug.
    It is on sale for 50% off and came out to just over 69 bucks.
    I ran my ICECO JP40 in 90 degree weather.
    A guy on Amazon reviewed it and he said the 12v DC plugs are regulated.
    69 bucks for 222wh battery is a deal in my opinion.
    What do you think Jason?

    • @Jasonoid
      @Jasonoid  2 года назад

      Sounds like a great deal at $69! That 222wh battery should run the fridge for at least 8 hours without needing to charge it. You'll need larger capacity / a bigger battery once you need to run a fridge for 24 to 336 hours this one should work well for that. Thanks for sharing your experience, what a good find Kris!

      Sup Mr. Reep0! Good questions. The Bluetti EB55 is the best 500wh power station currently available. Fast charging, 700 watt inverter, 100watt PD usbc. It's hard to beat it right now. If you want those extra features its worth the price in my mind. Did you apply my discount code, it can usually drop the price a bit.
      I have heard multiple people tell me Bluetti has stood behind their product when an issue has come up. I would trust the warranty on the EB55 more than the Oupes. Just my two cents. Let me know what you decide to do! Both a good options, just depends if you want faster charging and the higher wattage inverter.

    I would have love the higher capacity of the eb70, one more PD outlet, and two more AC outlets, and the folding handle. But at the end of the day, my lack of money won out. Also, because I use my Amazon Prime card, I just pay $26.85 per month for twelve months.
