Can we have a video of how you connect or work it alongside a power generator such as Bluetti. Thanks for the note in Watt Hours on screen as it makes for a quicker conversion even though the calc is straight forward it just relates easier to power generators etc. Thanks as always
I bought 2 of these almost a year ago. Paid $1300 each. Got one on a camper and one on a sailboat. Stayed off grid for 2 months in camper running down to zero a few times. Charging at 60 amps with solar and generator. Both batteries doing great. Gonna buy a couple more for connex solar stand alone systems.
Look into used Tesla modules from the Tesla cars, they get removed from salvaged/totaled Tesla cars and sold, you can find them with low mileage (barely used). They are 24 volt though, and they're Li-ion instead of LiFePO4. I think you could use a 24v DC to 12v DC step down converter though. So if 24v wouldn't work for your application, that may be an option if you did want to give the cells a try. $700-1000 on eBay, they're 250 ah but 24 volt, so in 12 volt numbers, they'd actually be 500 ah. 5200 wh capacity compared to the Power Queen 300 AH having 3840 wh, so roughly 35.4% more capacity, for very similar (maybe cheaper) price.
Professor Hobo, I think I could safely speak for a lot of viewers in that we'd love to see you do an early 2023 version of a relatively affordable, DIY lithium battery/solar build and testing those components. Maybe something you could start with 100AH battery, that's expandable from there. You're the best, happy new year!

Good morning from Godley Texas, I love your reviews even though I don't purchase a lot of the products. However, I did your no drill solar INSTALL. It's still holding up. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄🎄
The Power Queen people are starting to make quite a name for themselves producing such a quality product at a good price. In the Life PO4 business looks like they are giving the Battle Born people a run for their money.
GREAT product, deal, and review. Merry Christmas to us! 🎅 Was curious about the size and weight. Found the second photo at the link Proff HOBO shows this info at the bottom. It shows roughly 63 lbs and 10.6 x 20.5 x 8.7 inches... in case anyone else is wondering.
Thanks for all the hard work keeping us informed on batteries and power stations Hobo. Looking forward to the products for 2023. Hope to see you in Quartzite in january.
Great to see these plug and play options becoming cheaper but its still about 30% cheaper to buy your own prismatic cells and put a single bms on the lot, more compact as well. I guess it might be worth the extra money because it opens up your charger options....
Glad you mentioned that at the end of the video looking forward to it. I'm one of those four hour live stream followers. Countdown to naked twister. LOL
hahahaha i just love ur vids. A small time ago i bought a powerqueen 12.8v 50ah lifepo4 battery to expand my capacity from my bluetti eb70 :) Please keep the silly intro, i just love it and it just gives this channel a really special feeling haha! Have a wonderful Christmas
Thanks for the knowledge. I just bought 2 lithium batteries 24v and ran them down to nothing . And your right jump started with a 24v battery and they are going fine again .
You do a great job Prof! Any type of opening or closing you use is OK with me. As long as you are there I will be there. Enjoy your vacation. We only go around once. Over the last five years I have been made abundantly aware of that!
Just curious why they omit the heat feature for this 300A. Also I'm concern about the ability of its BMS. All the way up to 490A before it shut off seems like its ability to BM is questionable? All said, the price is pretty good.
I just now got to view this. A tree fell and took out all of our utilities, including our Internet, in below zero actual temps. We used our Bluetti AC200P to run our pellet stove overnight for 10 hours and a Predator 7250/9000 watt generator to recharge the AC200 and 2 EB3As, run the well pump, septic sand mound dosing pump, pellet stove, radon exhaust blower fan and refrigerator during the day. We don't have solar set up yet.
Its actually a bit scary that the thing is allowing you to pull 440A through it for more than a few seconds. I would consider that a fire hazard. Even though the BMS has thermal protection, a BMS only rated at 200A that is shutting down at 450A+ has a real risk of blowing up its MOSFETs. Or for some of its internal wiring to overheat/melt without the temperature sensors detecting it. And the sizing of the cables connected to the battery could present a problem too. The BMS firmware just shouldn't allow that kind of current to be pulled. If it is spec'd at 200A then it should shutdown at 210A or 220A if held for more than a few seconds.
All batteries of this style allow around double the amps for a period of time. Watch my other reviews. The fact it shut down at 490A and overheated at 450A means the failsafe is working.

What am struggling with the WFCO converter people telling me that I need their lithium version for my 50 amp class A. I have 4 6volt batteries now. I want to buy this battery. It meets my needs. Many more people would buy these as WFCO has 80%of RV class A market.
Professor Hobo, can I use these LiFePo4 batteries as a battery back up system in my garage in the heat of Florida? My garage gets up to 100 degrees in the summer. Or can I store them in the house and use them safely? Thanks for all that you do.
I noticed you mentioned that you could connect this battery to the AC200Max to extend the run time of the AC200Max. Other than the obvious differences of battery sizes between the PowerQueen and the B230 Bluetti battery, AND the convenient 12v outputs on the Bluetti B230 Battery, once either of these batteries is plugged into the AC200max, will they both operate identically with the AC200max or will there be a performance difference during usage with a high load single induction burner due to the different voltages of the PoweQeen v. the expansion Bluetti B230 battery? Is the PowerQueen only good for recharging the AC200max battery when the AC200 is not in use or is it able to extend run time during the AC200max usage in the exact same way as if the B230 was hooked up to the AC200max? I need extended wattage for my AC200max but I don't need the convenient 12v ports of the B230 and the much higher price per watt. Thanks in advance for your comment and enjoy your vacation in AZ.

Great video professor sir. I currently have a 2,500 watt inverter. I could still buy this battery and use it as a power source for it correct? Thanks for your videos. Great job.
Interesting. Newbie here, I know you mentioned it can be used with sogens. Now how can I charge this with solar? also how do I plug it into my ac200max? Great Channel I'm learning lots. Thank you
Interesting query. I'm a newbie as well. Here's my understanding so far. A "sogen" doesn't generate anything. It has a battery in it just like the one in the video (possibly different chemistry, size, yada yada yada). Your "sogen" has a built-in mppt which allows you to run solar panels directly to it. In order to charge a battery such as this one, you would essentially need to build your own "sogen" by getting a mppt /charge controller (plus a few extra bits) and an inverter. At that point you would plug your "sogen" into the inverter and charge it through the a/c input( or get some kind of 12 volt adapter to charge your "sogen" from the battery through the d/c input). Your "sogen" is merely a power storage device that is complete with all of the goodies put together in one package. Or, I suppose you could run your solar panels to your "sogen", plug a battery charger into its a/c outlet and charge the battery that way but, what would be the point of that? A "sogen" makes it easier for people that want/need an easier and generally portable all in one system. The easiest way to add capacity to an already existing "sogen" is to get one that has parallel capability. Either that or just get a massive "sogen" with a handle and wheels. I live in the pacific northwest so, I plan on getting a "sogen" and a propane generator to augment my solar power system on the dark, dank, dismal days of winter. Probably the Zendure 2000 featured in one of the professor's videos. Anyways, hopefully someone with real world experience will jump in and correct me or fill in the blanks. Professor?
I noticed you were charging the battery with 3 charge controllers. ? Can you charge a lith phosphate battery with a 40a mppt and a 80a non mppt charge controller together for a total of 120a of charge capacity?
8:25 Help Hobotech, I’m 70 and even though my personal batteries are close to their best before - I’m new to this scene and heard you mention here that this 300ah could be used as a starter bat. with the risk of shortening the BMS life. My question is; can I replace my starter and leisure battery with one of these using a quality DC - DC charger? Or is there other info needed to pull it off? If possible, I’d be able to save major space. My vintage RV has a 2.8L 4 cyl. diesel engine. 1 Battery to rule them all! Ha ha!
While I like the PQ 300Ah there is a 410Ah model available; it has a 250A BMS. What do you think of it? It has about the same footprint as the 300Ah model except is heavier. I noticed the discount code TECH3 didn't work it.
On their website they say that the final tax will be determined AFTER the order is placed. Sorry, I don't do business that way. Give me the total at point of sale or I find someone who will. Also, the warranty is pro-rated.
Enjoy your stick or should I say creativeness. I definitely love your outro on your videos. I've been known to mimic a few of your lines and chuckle away. ( I know what to do ! ) BLOW UP YOUR COMMENTS!
These things are interesting though I don't think I'll ever get one. Though with them being cheaper than a server rack buying 4 of these might be in my future. I still like the form factor of a server rack and the communication. I know some of them have bluetooth BMSes so I wonder if they will ever have UART. I see they make server racks for 48V so I guess even they acknowledge this form factor doesn't make sense at 48V. Weirdly they have a 90AH that says is 51.2V and 100AH says its 48V. The difference of 10AH and 10A on the BMS costs 36% more, wow.
Grate batter but looks like only in the U.S.A shame. I have watched your bluetti clips I was thinking a full set up in my ute canopy then run to the caravan with a lead using solar on roof of canopy and car witch is better the A300 or the 5000 bluetti with 1 extra battery and how long would it rin the hole caravan with air con going thanks phil
Dear professor, I'm getting a 2023 motor coach. It has 1 200 watt solar panel, a 1000 watt inverter , a dual controller what ever that is and 2 100 AH AGM batteries. I plan to up grade the inverter to 2000 or 3000 but initially would like to upgrade to a 200 or 300 AH lithium battery, did I understand you saying I could just drop a lithium in with my current equipment ?
my setup closely matches yours. I'm in a van with 2 160 watt panels on my roof. I was just wondering myself if this battery is overkill or not. obviously my solar panels will take about a week to fully charge the battery at least that's my guessing estimate. anyways I'll likely call up a solar expert and ask them to do the install for me if they think it's going to work alright. the only mystery i'm left with at the moment is am I spending more money then I need to spend.
Can you test the WFCO converter and how it interacts with the 300 amp Lithium batteries. So much confusion here and it it a real task for many to change out the converter. I thru my hands up last week with the thought of moving all the wires and if wires are compatible.
@@HOBOTECH I have a model WF 9855 and say output at 13.6. You mention in the PQ 300 ah video that your converter needs to be able to charge at 14.2 or 14.4. I totally believe yours is fine. Does this mean it would just charge slower and it’s probably ok to just drop it in? Thank you for your response. Sorry to have to ask.
I wonder what size battery is in the Bluetti 200max? I’m going back and forth between creating my own set up buying this battery or getting the Bluetti. All I need is an inverter since I already have a Rich 20 amp controller.
I really seriously considering buying one or two power queen batteries however I have no experience with lithium ion batteries are they safe to keep in my house I think I’ll probably be going for Victron Blue solar charge controller and possibly a Victron inverter I’m only going to run a 12 V system i’m wondering how many solar panels would I need to recharge a 200 amp hour power queen would 400 watts be enough would 600 watts too much. I would be using power queen batteries to run an inverter and television maybe a small window air conditioner somewhere between two and three hours a day to save on electric possibly a refrigerator once in a while also if anyone has any pointers I’d be really glad to hear what you had to say

Look into used Tesla modules from the Tesla cars, they get removed from salvaged/totaled Tesla cars and sold, you can find them with low mileage (barely used). They are 24 volt though, and they're Li-ion instead of LiFePO4. I think you could use a 24v DC to 12v DC step down converter though.

I've been wondering about that too.
Since he has reviewed those Batteries as well, I was gonna ask him what His Preference would be ?

ALL batteries can be put in an unlimited parallel as long as you use a bus bar and independent cables to the bus bar .
Great video professor sir. I currently have a 2,500 watt inverter. I could still buy this battery and use it as a power source for it correct? Thanks for your videos. Great job.
Yes
They should have put the “plus” name on it as to inform consumer’s better.
Why buy the Smart 100Ah version over the non smart ? Certainly when 100,ooEur difference. And makes it sense when putting two in parallel ?
Happy Christmas 🎅🐝🎄🐈⬛
I wonder if the Power Queen 12V 200Ah PLUS LiFePO4 has the same BMS.
It is also 200amp
Merry Christmas!
Do these batteries degrade over time in storage if they are not used like a lead acid battery does?
No. You are supposed to charge them once a year but I have some going on 2 years without charging that are fine.
Interesting.
Newbie here, I know you mentioned it can be used with sogens. Now how can I charge this with solar? also how do I plug it into my ac200max?
Great Channel I'm learning lots.
Thank you
Interesting query. I'm a newbie as well. Here's my understanding so far. A "sogen" doesn't generate anything. It has a battery in it just like the one in the video (possibly different chemistry, size, yada yada yada). Your "sogen" has a built-in mppt which allows you to run solar panels directly to it. In order to charge a battery such as this one, you would essentially need to build your own "sogen" by getting a mppt /charge controller (plus a few extra bits) and an inverter. At that point you would plug your "sogen" into the inverter and charge it through the a/c input( or get some kind of 12 volt adapter to charge your "sogen" from the battery through the d/c input). Your "sogen" is merely a power storage device that is complete with all of the goodies put together in one package. Or, I suppose you could run your solar panels to your "sogen", plug a battery charger into its a/c outlet and charge the battery that way but, what would be the point of that? A "sogen" makes it easier for people that want/need an easier and generally portable all in one system. The easiest way to add capacity to an already existing "sogen" is to get one that has parallel capability. Either that or just get a massive "sogen" with a handle and wheels. I live in the pacific northwest so, I plan on getting a "sogen" and a propane generator to augment my solar power system on the dark, dank, dismal days of winter. Probably the Zendure 2000 featured in one of the professor's videos. Anyways, hopefully someone with real world experience will jump in and correct me or fill in the blanks. Professor?
Not all BMS are built equal but these new lithium seem to be very nice.
Have a great vacate Mr. Tech!!! See you then.
Quick question. Why does it say 12.8V on the side of the case? I thought these batteries were rated @13.4V or something like that.
12.8v is the nominal voltage
@@HOBOTECH Thanks 👍
how can this be combined with an ecoflow delta pro?
Wow, I'm impressed.
I noticed you were charging the battery with 3 charge controllers. ? Can you charge a lith phosphate battery with a 40a mppt and a 80a non mppt charge controller together for a total of 120a of charge capacity?
What is the best way to use these two charge or add power to a solar generator like EcoFlow DC input? Or solar
8:25 Help Hobotech, I’m 70 and even though my personal batteries are close to their best before - I’m new to this scene and heard you mention here that this 300ah could be used as a starter bat. with the risk of shortening the BMS life. My question is; can I replace my starter and leisure battery with one of these using a quality DC - DC charger? Or is there other info needed to pull it off? If possible, I’d be able to save major space. My vintage RV has a 2.8L 4 cyl. diesel engine. 1 Battery to rule them all! Ha ha!
Can I use this to recharge my Ac200p with the battery clips? Have fun on your trip brother.
Yep!
While I like the PQ 300Ah there is a 410Ah model available; it has a 250A BMS. What do you think of it? It has about the same footprint as the 300Ah model except is heavier. I noticed the discount code TECH3 didn't work it.
On their website they say that the final tax will be determined AFTER the order is placed. Sorry, I don't do business that way. Give me the total at point of sale or I find someone who will.
Also, the warranty is pro-rated.
Enjoy your stick or should I say creativeness. I definitely love your outro on your videos. I've been known to mimic a few of your lines and chuckle away. ( I know what to do ! ) BLOW UP YOUR COMMENTS!
These things are interesting though I don't think I'll ever get one. Though with them being cheaper than a server rack buying 4 of these might be in my future. I still like the form factor of a server rack and the communication. I know some of them have bluetooth BMSes so I wonder if they will ever have UART. I see they make server racks for 48V so I guess even they acknowledge this form factor doesn't make sense at 48V. Weirdly they have a 90AH that says is 51.2V and 100AH says its 48V. The difference of 10AH and 10A on the BMS costs 36% more, wow.
Hello, which IS better redodo or power Queen?
Thank you. M
Grate batter but looks like only in the U.S.A shame. I have watched your bluetti clips I was thinking a full set up in my ute canopy then run to the caravan with a lead using solar on roof of canopy and car witch is better the A300 or the 5000 bluetti with 1 extra battery and how long would it rin the hole caravan with air con going thanks phil
Dear professor, I'm getting a 2023 motor coach. It has 1 200 watt solar panel, a 1000 watt inverter , a dual controller what ever that is and 2 100 AH AGM batteries. I plan to up grade the inverter to 2000 or 3000 but initially would like to upgrade to a 200 or 300 AH lithium battery, did I understand you saying I could just drop a lithium in with my current equipment ?
my setup closely matches yours. I'm in a van with 2 160 watt panels on my roof. I was just wondering myself if this battery is overkill or not. obviously my solar panels will take about a week to fully charge the battery at least that's my guessing estimate. anyways I'll likely call up a solar expert and ask them to do the install for me if they think it's going to work alright. the only mystery i'm left with at the moment is am I spending more money then I need to spend.
Hello sir! I have a Question and sorry about my ignorance but can I swapped a 12v 17ah battery on a power station for one of those 300ah?
Can you test the WFCO converter and how it interacts with the 300 amp Lithium batteries. So much confusion here and it it a real task for many to change out the converter. I thru my hands up last week with the thought of moving all the wires and if wires are compatible.
I have a WFCO converter in my RV with 300Ah lithium it works fine.
@@HOBOTECH I have a model WF 9855 and say output at 13.6. You mention in the PQ 300 ah video that your converter needs to be able to charge at 14.2 or 14.4. I totally believe yours is fine. Does this mean it would just charge slower and it’s probably ok to just drop it in? Thank you for your response. Sorry to have to ask.
I wonder what size battery is in the Bluetti 200max? I’m going back and forth between creating my own set up buying this battery or getting the Bluetti. All I need is an inverter since I already have a Rich 20 amp controller.
I really seriously considering buying one or two power queen batteries however I have no experience with lithium ion batteries are they safe to keep in my house I think I’ll probably be going for Victron Blue solar charge controller and possibly a Victron inverter I’m only going to run a 12 V system i’m wondering how many solar panels would I need to recharge a 200 amp hour power queen would 400 watts be enough would 600 watts too much. I would be using power queen batteries to run an inverter and television maybe a small window air conditioner somewhere between two and three hours a day to save on electric possibly a refrigerator once in a while also if anyone has any pointers I’d be really glad to hear what you had to say
@hobotech, can you mix battery brands with minimal or no issues?
If the Ah size and BMS rating are the same you generally can mix.
I don't get why some batteries at this level don't have low temp. charging protection.
I just want to run a trolling motor on the lake all day….would this battery last 12 hours on a 55lb thrust trolling motor?
Do an energy audit and find out.
we want DOUBLE FISTED
