We love the fact that this Portable Power Station is small and light(ish) yet it also packs a big punch, with the 30A plug and the larger inverter size - this is an extremely well rounded unit that we would highly recommend!

    The solar panel parallel hub is trash - all the unused ports are live and carry voltage. This was a known issue with the F2000 model - I see anker refused to offer plastic plug covers for this. not only for safety but to keep those connectors clean from contaminants. Besides that nice unit overall, basically an updated F2000 they really should have added a second external battery port to compete with compacity offered with products from bluetti & ecoflow. Kudos to anker for making this compatable with the external battery they already make and not designing somthing only exclussive to this model.

    Does anyone know if you use this in UPS mode and simulate a power failure, then drain the battery until it shuts off at 0%....will it turn back on automatically when the power failure is over? Or, do I have to press a button manually to turn it back on after this. Hoping someone might be able to test this. The F3800 seems to resume after a fully depleted battery is plugged back in - but the F2000 does not. This model is in the middle, so I'm not sure it has this feature or not. Thank you!

  • @johnkbear3901
    @johnkbear3901 13 дней назад

    I just looked at shop solar and the panels they have do not line up with the anchors charging requirements. Anchor needs a 60-volt panel and you can't total up to more than 20 amps. So you won't get the thousand w an hour charging. You'll only get 400. I saw another comment about Home Depot selling them. Just make sure the panels line up with anchors specs.

    • @TobyCostaRica
      @TobyCostaRica 3 дня назад

      They spec it so you have to buy Anker’s panels to fully maximize the solar input. Ridiculous greedy move, and is the primary reason I didn’t buy the F3800 version.

    I recently got 2 C1000X units and then I ordered two of these F2600 units as well. C1000X have been great and I haven't had any issues. The F2600 just arrived and looks like it should be good - but I have one issue. When it is plugged into AC it will not charge at more than 250W. If I set it at 200W, it charges at 200W. If I set it anything else (300W or greater), it caps out at 250W. I can plug loads into it (ie: a space heater) and it runs fine and goes up to 1700W+ so it isn't that the unit is limited to 250W, just the charging. I'm just curious if anyone else has had this specific issue. My C1000X units immediately go to whatever I set them to for charging speed. I'm hoping it is a firmware issue. I have reached out to Anker support as well.

      First, the Delta 2 max doesn’t have the TT30-R outlet to use as home back up or power an RV. Second, the capacity of this one is 2560 Wh not 2048 wh. So basically this one is more useful than the delta 2 max and more portable than the delta pro.

      @@issameQ You don't need that TT30- R to back up your house unless you're going to use dryer or Ac and if that's the case, 25kwh is going to last like 30 minutes, so it's pointless. For just lights in your house and regular appliances, Ecoflow Delta 2 max can provide such power continuously 25kw max. As matter of fact, my house is backed up by one and continuously powers my 150w fridge, my Internet router and my 70" tv with solar using extension cord.

      @@LJLion The TT-30R is used for the convenience to connect to a power inlet that’s connected directly to your electrical panel. 2.5kwh isn’t that much lower than the delta pro capacity at 3.6kwh. You can expand it to 5.5kwh if you want. Also the unit accepts 1000 w of solar charging. So while it’s connected to you your power inlet it can be charged while powering your house. So it doesn’t have to last 30 min. Plus running major appliances that uses a lot of power isn’t for all day and should be limited during an emergency.
