Did you buy that Kill A Watt after watching Matthias recent video on the battery backup? I've been thinking about getting one
Can you charge this from a regular gas or propane generator?
wtf I come here for reviews the job is to review not sales pitches
Shit is to expensive for most people asshole.
@@kirbyman1kanden7pf thank you for pointing that out.
I’m just two tax returns and a couple of COVID-19 checks away from getting one of these
Exactly
that's not going to be enough, throw in a leg and a arm, lol
Save money and buy a used Nissan leaf. Bonus you can drive it to the store and get made fun of.
😂😂😂😂👍🏽IN AN AFRICAN VOICE
OHH! MY GOODNESS!
@@nedlyest
Okay, but can your Nissan leaf fit inside my Nissan leaf? Huh? No, I didn't think so!
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.
I know er're getting some of these. It's worth it's weight in gold damn near. Thank you so much for reviewing this for us.
Okay what your thoughts on the HYBRID POWER STATION vs TITAN SOLAR GENERATOR (Inverter & Battery)??🤔??
I think some folks in Louisiana would think this is a steal. Really nice looking we’ll built and versatile unit.
Im in Louisiana. I bout a generac to run entire home. 2500 dollars more you can run everything.
Please don't think for others. That's incredibly arrogant.
Building a house in the next two years, and we've been looking at adding two of these to our resource redundancies. Great review, totally have me sold on it now.
Anyone that is living off grid and in a remote area could definitely use this. I could definitely see myself using this. Thank you so much for keeping us updated on the latest technologies!
Impressive !!! Thank you for the information
Appreciate the review and great info on this one. 👍
Thank you I really appreciate it
It seems like the perfect thing for all my needs I just can't afford that price, I suppose I'll just have to add this one to the list of dreams.
I'm buying one !!...
Own my RV outright and it is my full time home sooo 5 G not too much .
I called the company this am ..talked to an engineer, most pleasant and helpful ... Will be taking my RV to the plant to access my needs ...cant wait
😊.
Thats great to hear, the folks I spoke with have all been just as nice.
@@SilverCymbal ABSOLUTELY. Rebecca I'm sold as well. I called today and spoke with a kind lady named Juliet. She answered ALLLLL my questions. I'm using it as an APU for my semi truck so I run my fridge, tv, coffee maker, portable ac and heater while at the truck stops. No noisy engine from a generator or needing gasoline. Plus she told me it can be used while it's charging.
I have a 24v 150amps (3,840 Watts) power pack in a hard case. Very useful when I go camping. This thing can power a camping town! amazing!
This was a really cool video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome piece of kit mate! 👍
WOW, it does seem like the best! Thanks
That sounds like night and day compared to the Milwaukee unit!. Thank you so much for the excellent review.
Built in Canada! They sure build stuff well
"Just over 5k, it might sound a little too much.."
Me: Uh, yeah..
@@andrewcowing9141 What are you talking about? It's 5000 USD
@@MickyTicky2x4 yo mb i was looking at something else lmao
$3,300 Will be The Right Price for my Point of View 🧐
$5340 maple leaves, that's $4300 eagles

I'm currently developing a model that is a bit lighter but uses 4 inch rubber wrapped wheels for easier off road towing. 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.
This was a cool video, thanks for sharing!
Think within 10 years these will be at Walmart for a grand or two? Love how tech evolves like that.
Maybe like 1 or 2 years. Yup it's pretty ridiculous how fast technology advances
More like $239.83 every day low price!! :)
Build mine with a Dual Optima Batteries 1000 cca.

Home Depot has 100 watts Solar panels if you like to improve yours.
I was thinking more towards Lowe’s or Home Depot
@kangol Yeahhh we don't have 10yrs...... probably less than 2yrs they're coming with Maxine and War!!!!!
The SOC meter looks so cool
i have the NITECORE NPS600 because in my building theres always electrical issues, 1 in the fridge connected to my samsung fridge samsung microwave. the other in my office powering up my samsung tv alienware laptop nitecore batteries and other small electronics. also very rugged not as gigantic like this 1 but i still love this review u made.
Between this and equivalent solar which do you think is better? I love the fact you can move this unit. Charge off solar or vehicle battery. Price comparison to solar I guess would depend on your solar set up.
Nice to see a real review on a great product. I had looked at the Milwaukee unit but at over $2K did not seem like a very good deal at all. This, on the other hand, is NOT a toy! I can see it working in so many places, even in the RV where noise is an issue.
This is exactly what im needing im planning to live off grid full time
The ECO Flow series also have the 12v & USB w/C plug as well
That is one very nice power station! The 5k price tag is a tough pill to swallow though. Hopefully the more these become the standard, the price will come down a little bit.
Did he mention what type of batteries are used?
@@op8995 LiFePO4
@@nick-leffler thanks.
@@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.
@@TheUserid82 Thank you for the clarification. Good point.
Nice unit price is on the border but need to test for actual results. But from I've seen looks much better than its competitors. And I've there's at convention. Looking forward to testing on out. I'm so glad you expressed the pei. Thanks for the video
Nanuk cases are the shiznit. They are more known for pistol cases here but I have a 910 for my DJI Mavic Mini.
amazing vlog..
well done
PRICE $5340 CAD I purchased a Yanmar 5700 watt diesel generator for less and you can purchase
cheap batteries from wally world add a charge controller and inverter if you want to use battery
power or get power straight from the generator
Made something very similar for myself. I went for wood instead of metal framing inside. Only thing different was just rain louvers for rain protection. It wont do hose splashing it, and the alternator charging, and 3kw inverter not the 8kw peak. If you want to do it yourself, it will cost around 1.5k.
You should make a 'design build' video of your work, Adam. It sounds good.
Yes make video.
I'd want to see that video of too
concept video please my friend if you have the time and whatnot.
I think also some type of the wind source sure does blow when there's no sun - usually..
If i could buy a place with a stream that would be beautiful
..
BS Adam, its cheaper to DIY but no way 1.5K.
The battery itself would be about 1200, the inverter/charger would be around 400 at best.
Right there, it would be over 1.5K.
Breakdown:
Case: 200 bucks
Battery 300AH at 12V: 1200
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
And this if you bought and did everything correctly with no mistakes.
Thank you for not calling it a damn “generator” like the other moronic brands of battery-with-built-in-inverters do.
Beautiful review
Nice video dude
Great video. Disappointed that there is no 30A RV receptical.
Thanks for making these great videos. If I win the lottery, I'm buying 4 of these but in the meantime, I just ordered a Montek X1000 which seems like the poor man's version of this awesome kit.
I really like your videos! I watched many of them and you were view really interesting and cool products many of which I am personally interested in. Thank you for taking the time to do all of this for us keep up the good work! Signoff from the desert in Phoenix Arizona Joe
this thing is a beast although you are correct you would need a really specific use case to want something this overbuilt.
Pro review, nice job. Liked and subd
Wow, looks like an incredible and top of the line product! Will definitely need to buy myself one in the coming months!
Hi Silver, I have couple of questions, can you boost your car from those same cables and can you charge and power a device at the same time? Sorry, If I missed this in your video, thanks.
case: 200 bucks
battery 300AH at 12V: 1200

I think you will find the laser cut steel inside that puts it all together is pretty tough to duplicate. I don't make a cent if you buy one of these or don't but sadly a lot of the diy version lack the rigidity for travel. If its for stationary use, have at it, but Velcro and bungees don't hold up well bouncing around in a truck
You left out $800-$1000 for a quality 4000w/8000w inverter. I'm sure you could get a cheaper one on Amazon but it could burn your house down
Pretty much about what I have in mine and think turned out great. Things I would do differently but maybe that will be in the next one.
One note I found that solar charge controller they are using its around 25 or 30 bucks.
If you were selling your model, you would charge $6500
@@Powerpickle68 in some aspects that's still reasonable. With the total cost of mine being near the 4k mark I could design build same for way less with lessons learned on the current one.
What's the voltage between the 2 hots of the outlets? 0v or 240v? If it's 0 then this is only a 12vdc to 120vac inverter, which is my guess. If it's 240 then this is a 12vdc to 240vac inverter, which would be better but then it's strange they didn't utilize the feature.
With something like this charging with that kind of current from the alternator, I would recommend upgrading it with a larger one or have a second one installed so it can still charge the battery/batteries at the correct rate and power the vehicle
thank you for another good and informative video. I just wish the product wasn’t so expensive. Perhaps as battery technology gets better the price will come down. It’s nice to see things like this coming on the market though.
Nice video and interesting, thank you!
$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).
Will Prowse here on YT has some excellent videos on a DIY version.
I guess if your time is free and your build quality is the equivalent.
I have a question , what kind of a clamp-on ammeter do you have that measures DC amps?
It's a modern version of the Edison battery. Very good idea!
Looks awesome! How much input can it take while charging via solar?
Wow starting prices at 6000. then up to 9200.00 wow Awesome design like the box! :) I think it would be the best option to get with all the bells and whistles. Plus that solar charger and hooks up to the vehicle engine for an extra charging point is a plus too. Nice Got 9000. it a good choice!
4:22 the side flex when he plugin that solar connector. That’s look kind of flimsy 🥺
Nice power station. 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. Like it.
Can you use this to power
off grid solar / frig-freezer
/stove and other appliances at the same time ?
I'm happy for this review. But I wanna know whether it can be used under charging. When it's charging and you are also working can there be any problem?
Wow! really impressive. I operate a mobile coffee van in Sydney Australia and would like to move away from my petrol generator. We use roughly 10kwh in a 5 1/2 hour period. The appliances include a 3200w coffee machine and a 1250w oven which are both very power hungry. Our Hyundai iload is idling the whole time so maybe we can top up on the go.
Would the generator you feature handle this type of power requirements?
Thx Luke
$5000? Definitely a worthwhile investment that will pay back ten fold! 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.
10 fold? that's $50k
I think you need a video in restoring those truck headlights
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.
I want a genatator and emp shield
Very nice unit but too pricey. Great review!
Waiting to roll over the super and going to order one foe sure
Quite impressive. Is it technically possible to go below -20C with the current technology? Is this the limitation of the battery formula or simply the manufacturer's precaution?
Have you tried charging with all three options at once? Wondering how fast you can charge if you use car alternator and wall power?
It is totally awesome !
Where did you buy it
I went to the website I could not find the 8000 watt unit only the 7000 watt for only $17990 cad, holy hell that's expensive could probably build one a heck of a lot cheaper great video though 👍
This is the link to the unit I showed hybridps.ca/collections/portable-power-packs. They have a lot of models
I need something for my really big loads, glad it’s sealed.
Great video! Very nice piece of equipment! Sorry for my ignorance, but I don’t know what is meant by the efficiency percentage rating. How long is the runtime if using 4000 watts continuously?
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.
Thank you Thomas. I had the same question Roger.
That’s if your using 89% longer if your using half or less
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).
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
@@SilverCymbal...Okay what your thoughts on the HYBRID POWER STATION vs TITAN SOLAR GENERATOR (Inverter & Battery)??🤔??
@@rudybmore6809 I think the Titan is more of a permanent choice but I would buy the Ecoflow Delta pro over a titan any day now. They seem to be just another one of those companies that were doing well and kind of just went away now. If you want features and power Ecoflow blew everyone away this year ruclips.net/video/bfWzPPDh2Yg/видео.html but they dont offer a rugged solution.
@@SilverCymbal...Thanks, I heard a lot about the Ecoflow Delta but I saw the Titan power up a small RV plus then the very next day they powered up a small cabin. Can the Ecoflow do that?🤔?
You're so right and if you find that solar charge controller they used its 30 dollar one so I can imagine they are still making pretty good profit on these. My DIY one I have around 3k invested but this also includes misc stuff I ended up not using. But it is in a yellow case like theirs haha. I want to build another but just don't have the time.
Is that solar is waterproof too ..dang that generator looks expensive but durable and eco friendly 😍
Can you test the Nitecore NES2000?
Thank you for sharing.
That's why I like your reviews. Straight forward and no bs. Get to the point give the good info and move on.

I'm drooling.
I think for small camper van builder this might help in reducing all electrical work
Seems like that front panel could use some bracing or a thicker gauge metal.
It flexed when he attached the alternator cables.
Nice videos and how long can they charged on electric scooter quicker then normal wall plug charger as I know it's takes 3 to 6 hours charged from normal wall charger and haven't tried any portable generator before I can order one in
one good thing about stuff made for the US military is that it has to be made here.
I'd imagine Canada has similar rules.
Yeah that is a steep premium.
Canadian Military will prefer Canadian first but are willing to go elsewhere if needed.
Wow $5,000 I will stock my propane tanks to run tri generator on propane, heat, hot water, cook, run engine and vehicle in a pinch. I can stock even more propane locked in propane price for years for this price!!! Fuels will usually go higher! No treating propane it never goes bad! Feb 2022 propane $2.00 a gallon.
How could I use 12volt dc with this unit? As in using it without activating the inverter?
Wow , wow, WOW! And easy to go rolling any where! Where to buy?!??
Please can someone tell me how long it will take to charge fully from 0 to 100 ?? And what's the best and fastest solor panels to buy please help
Good stuff
Can it be use to run the heating system in my house in case the power goes out?
A. SUPER. AWESOME. VIDEO. REVIEW. WAW. TNKS. NOW. I GOT. THE PRODUCT. I NEEDED TNKS. AGAYN
Interesting unit similar to mine. I built one in a yellow Pelican case same battery specs but only max 4k AC wattage. Definitely cheaper to build your own I want to build another and keep it more simple. I have some videos on my channel of mine.
Looks like the top section is NOT cooled, is this an issue ? Do any of those control boxes get hot ?
Montek comes with panels that store in unit. Can drop it, is water and weather prroof.
Really should have 30 AMP RV plug, Bi-Directional USB-C (100 watt), PD USB, USB -B slots, needs regulated DC outputs. Should advise if the batteries can be charged from multiple sources at the same time and can it act as a UPS?
Really Tough and Safe for Longer Trips in Trailer Camp
Or stay little longer in that love wooden cab in the woods.
Midland made an ip67 rated 1000w power station built into a pelican style case. .... the PPG1000. They clearanced them out around christmas for $500. I purchased 2 of them.

MAN OH MAN...... WHERE DO YOU BE GETTING THESE AWESOME GADGETS TO REVIEW. I LOVE THIS ONE. PIRCE LIL HIGH BUT THE BENEFITS & FEATURES DO HELP JUSTIFY. NOW THE QUESTIONS IS.... WHOSE BETTER? ECOFLOW SMART GENERATOR VS HYBRID POWER SOLUTIONS?
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.
I bought the Bluetti AC300 with much better rigid solar panels for $2k less. sure it cant be left in the rain but works great with as much and more features
$5k seems like a lot because it is!! Other than that this would be great for a few extra days of boondocking and not have ti listen to a generator.
the Altinator connectors are called power lock connectors, i use them in the events industry, for three phase AC at up to 800amps
That us awesome to know, I had never seen those connectors before. Super heavy duty
@@SilverCymbal Anderson's connectors are good...have them in the ute..one on the bumper for jump starting..roll up engine running and plug it in hook leads to dead car
The altinator or Is called alternator
@@woodspirit98 im dislexic so yea..deal with it
Nice !
Hello, is this unit feasible in a DIY camper van ?
I love it, better put in some more overtime hours maybe... 😆
WHAT ABOUT USING THIS CHARGER IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES LIKE THE PHILIPPINES WHERE THEY USE 220 VOLTS?THANKS
Can you run it and charge it at the same time? I really like it. Have the Milwaukee. Was impressed with till I saw this one.
Yes it can charge and be used simultaneously, I tested that function, it wasn't in the video.
Awesome power station, high output.
But the place where you plug in your peripherals is somewhat flimsy.
