Crazy 50amp Outlet on this Battery | Anker SOLIX F3800

- F3800 is now on amazon*: amzn.to/3P0coPI (don't miss any coupons!)
I was eager to try this power station out because of the 240V output (Anker sent it to me). I had not seen one before that I could plug my 50amp RV cord directly into.

Thanks for watching!
So cool!
I thought Zendure was pushing the competition, Anker is simply changing the game. Point Zero will also be the reigning King with their new 240 single unit Titan 240.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
Great video!
Reece could you please recommend a good book on electronics for beginner to get into the hobby? The target would be to be able to fix an LCD display or monitor to begin with ?
Nice
What’s the process of getting one of those units?
Traditional rooftop rv ac pulls about 15amps.
Thanks for your time and responses
Wow, thank you!
@@FrugalRepair the $10 held weight - for your time. Words are cheap compared to your effort. Thanks! And you are welcome
Good morning friend, how long does the battery charge last using the 15,000btu AC in an RV. Just the battery without solar panel.
One of the rooftop ACs that I showed was running about 1,000w or so. I also showed a 1,000w load later and that lasted over 3.2 hours. Run time will also depend on the thermostat setting.
Dang! I haven't seen any portable unit that starts 2 A/C units and not trip out. That's really awesome!
Yes, pretty cool.
If I have a golf cart with a 48v lipo battery, can I use it as an extended battery? It looks like the connector is proprietary.
I wouldn’t think this is the best device for your golf cart since the main power output is AC. I would think you might want to add more batteries directly. This would enable you to have a DC connection. There isn’t a proprietary output on this Anker power station, the AC and DC outputs are pretty standard.
@FrugalRepair if I connected an external lipo4 battery, would it be able to utilize it or do I need a special anker battery
Just to be clear, are you saying it has a 50Amp port TYPE/STYLE? Or are you saying it can actually output 240Volts at 50Amps out of the 50Amp outlet?
240v at 25a
Tesla's can limit how many amps they pull on charging and could be useful for these types of test.
What’s the name of that thing you had plugged up into the usbc port ?
It’s a usb A and usb C tester. It’s got a nice screen on it to see the amps and volts (and other things). I put a link in the description to it if interested.
Can I buy 4 panels that equal 1200 watts from the Anker kickstarter and have it work seamless with the f3800
If you are getting the Anker panels, I don’t see why you’d have any issues. Aren’t they 400w panels each? If so, you’d have 1600w.
@@FrugalRepair I am getting 2 400w and 2 200w. Total newbie. There’s 2 input slots with different voltage. There’s a bunch of lingo I done know like parallel or series…voltage and amps. Anyways thanks for responding. I’m waiting for a response from Anker and I came across your video
@@rpa1918 Just received 2 400w and 2 200w panels for the F3800. I’m also having trouble figuring out the wiring.
What was Anker’s response to this wiring dilemma? Any help would be much appreciated!
How do you connect a 30A RV plug to this? Thanks
That style plug (30a RV) has one 120v leg to it so you could get an adapter for either of the 240v ports. (Look up 50amp to 30amp RV adapter on amazon) You’d be limited to 25amps as far as I understand.
@@FrugalRepaircan you drop a link to it as a comment here? I’d be very grateful!

$10 tip $ sent for your time and responses, glad you put the Thanks button
How long can i run 200 w on thiz b 4 it diez ?
A constant 200w draw would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 17 hours.
@@FrugalRepair Ok cool thank u !
wanna do another update on your solar system?
Yes, I’m planning on making more update videos!
Excellent review, but you really need to speak a little faster :) thank you.
Thank you. I will work on speaking slower.
Cost??????????????????????
Just a life hack plug the charger into the output and you have unlimited power
I would suggest being very careful about plugging your friend's EV into the Anker Solix, because this unit lacks an output transformer, there's nothing to block the battery's DC current from passing through to your AC loads during a catastrophic failure. All it takes is for one of their MOSFETs or IGBTs in this transformerless unit to short to ground in the H-Bridge circuit, or the waveform control circuitry to fail, and this unit can send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to the EV's onboard charger which will not only damage the charger but can also set the charger's switching power supply on fire. The same is true for any brand of solar generator that uses a high frequency, transformerless inverter to produce AC power.
Another major consideration is that the vast majority of these solar generators are non-repairable. After the warranty runs out, you're not going to be able to ship this unit back to the manufacturer in China and have them repair the unit. At a typical shop rate of $125 per hour in the US, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it makes no economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried and have taken the inverter's PCB with it, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick. If you want to charge your friend''s EV with solar power, then a much safer choice is purchase a hybrid, low frequency, transformer based inverter charger and add a LFP battery pack and assemble your own solar generator.
240 Volts with a low surge capacity. No good for powering high inductance loads.
What kind of peak amperage are you classifying as high inductance loads? And what’s an example load?
High inductance loads such as full sized microwave ovens, full sized refrigerator freezers, any power tool with a 1/2 HP and above motor, portable AC units. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when this high frequency solar generator is new but every time you fire up or shut down that inductive load, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in this solar generator. I know this to be true because I've spent the last 23 years repairing inverters. High frequency solar generators simply don't last when powering inductive loads. @@FrugalRepair
There is nothing ' game changing or earth shaking about this device. It only comes with 3800 watt hours of battery in it's base form and costs as much as a used car. For a fraction of the price you can build a battery bank with 4 times the capacity for 1/4 the price. Of course if your the type that likes to live on credit and get ripped off, this is just the thing that will make you happy. My battery bank cost me $2200 and has 12,000 watt hours, 120/240 split phase inverter with 6000 watt capacity. It will power my home for 2 days or longer depending on usage. I harp on this repeatedly on these forums. All this unit has is a lot of plastic wrapper around a rather small capactiy battery/inverter set up. And I can add on to my system without plugging in more plastic overpriced expansion modules. Whatever happened to people using their head?
Can you teach me how to do this? I would like to build a battery bank on my RV. This way I can lessen my generator and fuel usage.
Thanks for watching!
