    Important thing. There is Lithium-Ion, light and powerful but does not last and then there is LiFePo (Lithium Iron Phosphate) which is not as light nor as powerful but lasts a lot longer and is a lot less prone to catastrophic destruction. Anker and many other brands use LiFePo but not all. The light(8pounnd unit) might be Lithium-Ion and will not last if you charge/discharge a lot, the heave one is for sure LiFePo and will last for 10 years even if you charge/discharge every day. Big difference in durability so check before you buy if you need a lot of discharges.

    These Anker power stations are equipped with Lithium ion phosphate (LiFeP04) battery not Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. They are not the same. Lithium ion battery is prone to catch fire while not with LiFeP04 battery.

    I feel like going with 2 of the smaller ones is a better choice, lower cost then 1 of the bigger ones. Would have the portability of the small package. If running solar could hook up 100watt panel to each. Is there something I’m missing that makes the bigger one better?

    • @katew9927

      The bigger one is expandable, you can add expansion batteries that they sell to it. It really all just depends what you are using it for. If it's something that draws a lot of power you are much better off getting the big one.

It has a massive capacity of up to 5kWh, allowing you to power your devices and appliances for extended periods during your camping trips. Plus, it has a waterproof design, ensuring it can withstand any adventure. I highly recommend it for reliable backup power on your family camping trips!

    If you really want to run a car fridge you are better off with a lithium battery, a solar controller and an inverter. You can get more capacity with greater solar charging capacity for less money. This type of battery pack seems to be widely used in America and less so in Australia.

      I will also add you would need a battery that is over 700 watt capacity to do what you are trying to do. Because just a 700 watt battery would only run your gaming system for 1 hour and that's not even accounting for your fridge.

      @Catherine B this is as simple as I can make it......the power of the box is basically how much power you have. If you have the 500 one then you have 500w of power......now let's say you want to use a fridge that draws 50w of power. That means you can run that fridge for 10 hours....500 divided by 50 is 10. Does that make sense?

    I like to use small electric appliances like grill, pot, hot plate, heating pad, small heater etc.. it is hard to find 500w or under. I bought a 500w output battery generator thinking it is enough. I found that most of my cooking appliances need 600w. Heating pad works but using it causes my ipad (that also connects to the generator) to have crazy touchscreen. I was fed up with the limitation so I returned it and get a 1200w AC output generator instead (paying twice as much of course).

Also do you think I can use these for lighting, cameras, as well?

  • @AlwaysWorking2008

    What I wonder is if a 100w solar panel hooked up to either of these power stations will keep up enough that the fridge can be run for a few days. Given that the fridge isn't running at full draw the entire time, does the solar charging "catch up" enough during the day to cover the draw over night?

    Thanks for the video! Few questions. Where did you find a mini fridge that had a car charger outlet!? Also, why don’t the plugs have the ground (3 prong) plug hole? Finally, would you recommend the smaller one if I’m just using a heated blanket while camping?

    I am a subscriber to your channel. My question is can I use the small power supply to power my backup cameras and monitor for my portable workshop. I love your idea of using backup cameras for van security and I wanted to encorporate it for my portable mobile workshop and do I need multiple DC outlets on power supply to power 7 inch monitor and 4 backup cameras
