Man, when you saw that 100%, you double back to the unit to see it confirm on the unit...your expression was priceless...nothing like when things go right!!°° I have the Eb3A and I use it daily for different things...I love it...I am ready to go down the rabbit hole for solar now.
I'm awaiting delivery of one of these R600's. Very nice review thank you for the running demonstrations. Going to use it as a UPS unit on my laptop using a 55" LG TV. as a monitor & my 12volt car fridge which I keep my beer in at 2 degrees centigrade all together they only pull about 200 watts when the fridge is running & about 160 watts when the fridge compressor is resting. By my reckoning that should give me 90 -120 minutes of run time when the power drops out which happens frequently in South Australia where I live. Cheers !
Aaah finally a small power station that has a proper high voltage rated MPPT built in! I wanted to get a small unit like this for a moment, and I've been looking at all brands, and it looks to be always limited to around 30V input. I got two reasons. First, I have a couple SUNSLICE Fusion 150W panels that have 39+Voc, I need to be able to use those. Secondly, I just moved my house to solar with a 48V 16s LF280K pack (56V max fully charged, 3.5V/cell), and I would like to just plug the power station straight to the home battery system to charge up on DC. So 60V max input is just perfect! 300W max input would have been nice but it's a detail. Thanks for the review!
@@OffGridBasement Just realised the R600 used to have 300W solar input and 2 extra barrel jack 12V DC ports at the left of the car accessory port! That was just a year ago, with all the early reviews of the unit! All units for sale now have 220W and lack those ports. I tried asking the company what hapenned, that's really weird, being the same model...
Does this r600 come charged? I bought one and received it today, tried turning it on straight after unboxing but did not turn on, i put it on charge, its been like 30 minutes but still wont turn on, is there a specific amount of time i need to charge it for or did i get a dud?
If the screen isn't turning on at all then it's probably a dud. Make sure to hold down the power button for a couple seconds. That's really all the advice I can give. Sorry I can't help more.
@@OffGridBasementthey product have manny errors think when You want to buy i buy one and whass like 3 days tuning good then i charge my phone just everyday i buy an r1500 and its full an error and im in full sun , and they do not answer when You Say its not working properly,
Great video. I have the same model, it will self discharge to 0% in 3 months when I put it into storage. BTW, which App do you use with that ATORCH AC power meter?
Got mine on Amazon. Had shipped to family in Oregon. Then had shipped via barge to me in Alaska. Almost a year later I decided to try and use it for camping. I had too much faith in this product. It won’t hold a charge. Literally does during charging. No Bluetooth function as stated. App is useless. Does not function at all. No charging for anything. Followed instructions to a T which is honestly simple. It dies/completely loses its charge when unplugged after a few minutes. This was altogether a HORRIBLE buy. And I’m feeling some serious buyers remorse and feeling like an absolute idiot for not testing it right when I got it. I spent hundreds on this (purchased with the solar panel) plus shipping. All down the drain. And the support email is bogus. I hope this comment helps others in the future. If you buy this, try it immediately after receiving it.

The EB3A is a great little unit. I was really getting worried! It seriously took forever. Thanks for the comment.

I think it will work well for you! Thanks!
*celsius* . Centrigrade is an outdated term. Lol

Nice review, I have the s1500 and it is a great unit. Allpowers are well worth the money.
Agreed! I don't have any issues with the small unit. I'm taking it on a trip soon to really give it a go! Thanks for the comment.

@OffGridBasement
Thanks bro!!
That the best advice you gave me, much appreciated!
Did you say you can change the registered user if you want? I was thinking about getting a new unit off of ebay.
Yes. In the setting you can do that.
Is this better than the bluetti EB3A?
It can handle a bit more, but I don't know about the longevity of use. It still works well for me.
How did we live without power stations?
They do make having portable power so easy! Thanks for the comment.

The app is called "Smart life - smart living" in the Google Play store. Not sure about the Apple app store. Hope this helps.
great
