    Not a criticism for this video, but I kind of hate that they're called "generators". They're not, they're batteries.

      If an engine with a petrol tank is a generator, why can't a solar panel with a battery be called a generator? 😉

      @@AlexanderSmith600 In that case, a lot of things could be a generator. I could be a generator, you could be a generator.
      But that's also beside the point, because I haven't seen the whole kits (with solar panel and battery) being marketed as generators, but these batteries are marketed as such

      An engine with a petrol tank is not a generator. It's an engine. An engine with an attached rotating magnetic field mechanism that ....generates...electric flow. That combined system is a generator. Or did I miss the sarcasm this morning? @@AlexanderSmith600

      The word GENERATOR may have something to do with it. It does not generate anything but a lighter wallet

    No thanks, I would never power any of my home's appliances with these unit or the Ecoflow units. The Chinese made. lightweight, high frequency inverter tech on today's market (and they're ALL Chinese made) are not only short lived and offer a weak surge capacity when compared to conventional off grid inverters, they can also be dangerous.
    You'd be lucky to get even two years of service from these inverters, especially when powering high inductance loads like full sized refrigerators, large power tools, portable AC units or large microwave ovens. The reason for this is that all of these lightweight, high frequency inverters lack a very critical component. That critical component is an iron core, copper wound output transformer. Without an output transformer to act as a buffer to absorb electrical surges provided by the “Flywheel Effect” inherent in the physical amount of a transformer’s iron, these surges and damaging reverse voltage spikes must be handled directly by the inverter’s MOSFET transistors, essential shortening their life.
    You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when these high frequency inverters are new, but every time you fire up one of those inductive loads, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in these inverters. Lightweight, high frequency inverters run much hotter than low frequency, transformer-based inverters which makes the low cost, off spec, Chinese made components such as capacitors, diodes, resistors and ICs that are used in these inverters, far more prone to early failure.
    Another major consideration with these lightweight, high frequency, transformerless inverters is safety. All it takes is for the AC output monitoring circuitry to fail and one of the MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground, and these inverters can send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire.
    Another consideration that is never mentioned by those high frequency inverter hucksters, is that the vast majority of these inverters are non-repairable. After the warranty runs out, you're not going to be able to ship these units back to the manufacturer in China and have them repair them. And at a typical shop rate of $125 per hour here in the US, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it won't make economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried and have burned a good portion of the inverter's PCB, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick.
    A much better choice would be to invest in an inverter or power station that uses low frequency, transformer based technology in its design. Low frequency inverters can handle high surge loads for at least 3x their continuous rated capacity and they can do this repeatedly, without sustaining damages to their MOSFET transistors, for minutes, rather than the milliseconds that a high frequency inverter offers. That's why the big name brand inverter manufacturers like Schneider Electric, Outback Power, Sigineer Power, Magnum Energy and others, all use a low frequency topology in their design.

    That is NOT a "generator". It is just a battery bank with an inverter and some sockets. On its own it can "generate" NOTHING. It has two charging controllers: one for mains power, and one for variable 12 volt inputs, such as photovoltaic panels.
    "generate" comes from the Dutch "generator", from Latin "generātor, genero" (“beget, father”)., from which we get "genesis", "genetics", "origin"
    If batteries were the same as generators they would charge themselves without outside input.
    Please. Stop dumbing-down the public. Please.

    It's funny to me to call batteries generators. Is it the inverter that makes it a generator or are all batteries generators? Can I say my phones generator is dead?

    Reply to the user's comment: "Wow, this solar generator seems like a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts like us! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series looks really impressive with its massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology. It's great for powering devices and appliances during camping trips or in case of a power outage. Thanks for sharing this recommendation!"
