    I needed a unit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y that I could store in my home when I wasn't running, so it being light and running on propane were key requirements. I can store the propane tank/bottle outside yet store the generator in my home when it's not in use as I will never put any gas in the engine. It is so light, and on echo mode, which I expect is how it will be used most of the time, it is pretty darned quiet (certainly compared to all the generators I hear in my neighborhood after each power outage).Many of the previous reviews had me concerned that it would be difficult to start on propane, but I have to say, I had absolutely no problem at all. I primed it first using the choke...3 pulls, heard the engine want to start, flipped it to propane, and one more pull and she started. I ran it for 2 hours the first time and plugged it in my fridge. And when I was done, I put the propane tank away and carried the generator to my basement for next time.I could not be happier.

My design uses all the same types of plugs offer here as well as some that this does not. We pack our Lipo4 batteries and other high quality components such as the Morningstar solar charge controller are neatly organized in a similar style large weatherproof case. Our unit will be manufactured by a Veteran owned business right here the the USA. Plus as a side bonus, it will cost considerably less then this model shooting for around $3200.

      @@07starman You are not the intended customers as this is more geared to things like search and rescue as you often need power but generators are simply too loud both for audio and for electronics. They would also be good for film crews to remove the needs of those multi million dollar truck mounted generators and thousands of feet of power cords to keep the sound away from the mics.
      Search and Rescue often involves so many different radio setups that they need a central point that can listen and relay but a generator pumps out so much EM noise that it can put static over those radios making it harder to hear anything on the sensitive equipment. You also have cases like collapsed buildings when you need power to run tools but the sound of the generators can make it impossible to hear anyone trapped inside.

      Case: 200 bucks

      BMS: 600
      Solar controller: 60
      LCD controller: 100
      Controller/charger ??? ~ 400
      Rubberized outlets (cooling fan and sensor, vents) and plugs etc: 150 bucks
      Total components: about $2700
      Labor: 48 hours at 25 bucks an hour (building and learning curve): 1200

    $5k seems like a whole lot of money when you look at the components piece by piece. You could make one for 1/2 the cost. The battery in that unit is 3600 watt hours and if that is at 12 volts that equals 300 Amp Hour Lithium battery that currently will set you back about $1000, but it will include a BMS (battery management system).

If I had the money and hadn't piecemealed a similar system in basic specs without the rugged features then I 'd go for something like this over other lipo4 power station units due to it's portability with rugged protection. Sure, something could be made DYI which might roughly mirror what this power station could do...the issue on my end would be cramming my system into a case, field testing it and insuring that it could withstand similar elements which would take time and personal labor.

This thing will be just brilliant in extended power down situations, if you’re going outdoors for an extended period of time, small outdoor events, off-grid and then some. Considering it has an 8000 watt capacity, that’s just outstanding! You can shop around for other multiple smaller units but this thing looks like an absolute beast and seems to be able to take a beating in harsh conditions.

      True, those babies are 15 years old and definitely looking it. I tried a cheap kit last year and it didn't really work, I will have to give it another try. The ceramic coating I put on earlier this summer still looks great, haven't washed it even once since.

    $ 5340 + 12% tax ($650) makes it a $ 6000 unit. 10 year life cycle = $ 600/year on cost.
    My Honda GenSet is paid, get used very often and does not burn $ 600/year on gas.
    On larger jobs I bill the client for the gas or he has some at hand.

      If that works for you thats great but keep in mind many areas have noise restrictions or can't deal with exhaust from equipment. A lot of car detailers could use this in mobile vans and love it becuase it charges between jobs and has enough juice to run all the gear without the endless drone of a gas generator. As I very honestly said in the video, for some this is absolutely ideal and for others it's not a good fit.

    • @Bertaphone
      @Bertaphone 2 года назад +6

      3600 Watt/Hours is the stated capacity. 4000 watts continuously at 86% efficiency is less than an hour. To be more precise, 46 minutes and 26.4 seconds if my math is right.

    Awesome review as always. Looks like a pretty cool build, especially if you need something rugged. But... for me, it just reaffirms the need to learn how to DIY these things. You can clone this build for at most 50% of the cost.
    I'm aware it's not for everyone and this is already a niche product BUT, to anyone who wants one of these - learn to DIY! Study up, read everything, watch Will Prowse, save some dollars! I built one with the same idea (this is just a weatherproof toolbox/pelican case at its core) and it works great. Spent a total of $1200 (although I only need my max surge to be 2000W).

    • @SilverCymbal
      @SilverCymbal  2 года назад +10

      Very cool, I always love anything DIY and then you feel good that you did it yourself. I just did my own well if you saw that one and most people would pay someone else. But there are definitely times and some that just feel they can't do it so at least you have some choices. I am impressed that these guys took this to the level they did, what angers me though is MIlwaukee selling a unit thats for job sites that is not weather sealed at all! Thats crazy

      Thank you, I never heard of these before and a subscriber told me to reach out to them and I was able to arrange getting to trial this one. Ecoflow vs Hybrid Power? They are both at the top of their game, the Ecoflow has more power and features and I love their products but they aren't waterproof and can't handle extreme cold and really aren't designed to be in the back of a truck all day, that's where this one comes in. So they are both really great but for two different situations.
