This video is a GODsend! Thank you so much! I'm a 55 yr old female. I have been trying to understand all this stuff for some time now. I recently decided I wanted solar, not gas. I live in South Ga USA, so it's HOT! I bought a portable AC that's 8000 btu. I hope to a power that for sure. A huge concern for me is portability. I prefer one with a handle and wheels. Otherwise, I won't get optimal use from it. Of course I'll get the best I can. I have around $2500 I've been overwhelmed with this stuff! You have no idea how much I appreciate the work you have done here! 🔥🙌🏻to God be the glory🙌🏻🔥

I got a 16" x 24" flat, wooden rolling trolley at Harbor Freight (approx. $25-$30) for my smaller solar battery. For my larger sogen, I bought a foldable "Anti-slip Platform Hand Truck with Universal Wheels and with 330 lbs Weight Capacity" on Amazon. At the time I bought it, it was a special price to go with the Bluetti generator.

I have 2 Bluetti AC50S and 1 EB70S solar generators. I let one of the AC50S deplete the battery below the 10.3 level and it would not charge up. I contacted Bluetti and they walked me through a reset procedure. In order to do this I had to disassemble the solar generator. The fix didn't wake it up. They sent me a new unit and a paid shipping label to return the non working unit

Yup battery packs have safeguards once you drop below a certain level. I’ve got tool batteries to come back by applying a charge through a similar device. I bet if you sent a direct charge through a large gauge wire it will come back online.

lots of good info. I did a ton of research before i bought a jackery1000 two years ago and after using it camping and on hunting trips with my camper i discovered three things are important to me.....1. How much the inverter can handle, turns out i want it to mimic a house circuit of about 1800w so it can run usual counter appliances while camping. 2. Can i recharge a depleted unit in a day say 5 full solar hours so a 2kwh battery needs to accept at least 400w. And 3. how heavy is it so that i can move it without risking injury. Personally i dont like the apps and have noticed at a well attended camping area that there are multiple signals which i feel ups the risk of some tech savy nurd messing with my system. For me the Bluetti 180 is a good fit and so far love it.

That was a great review. But the problem is you say it should be stored at 50%, which doesn't make sense to me. I bought the AC 200 Max with two batteries as an emergency power source. But if they are stored at 50% and the lights go out suddenly, then you only have a 50% charge. So what's the use of spending all this money and get 50% of what you paid for.

It's a delicate balance to maximize the life of the batteries. You can keep it full just could cause a little more degradation. Or you could keep it full and works just fine, they are weird that way. Its one of the flaws with batteries in general

A cheap oil drum full of sand and a heating element and an insulated jacket is a fantastic way of avoiding curtailment AND having efficient heat without having to convert it back into electric. Humans can always make heat from electric at 100% efficiency, but making electricity from heat is more like 20-30%. couple hours of sun blasted into an oil drum during the day gives a really warm comfortable evening with no lithium.

@@gigabane7357 @gigabane7357 Great idea using an oil drum and sand as a heat bank! It's a smart way to store heat from the sun during the day and release it slowly in the evening, keeping things cozy without electricity. The insulated jacket is a nice touch to keep that heat from escaping too quickly. Maybe adding a solar air heater could boost the warmth even more. Love the creativity in using simple materials effectively!

I love the way you present your videos and reviews. You make it easier to understand. I have the Ecoflow River 2 pro and it is great but I need something with more power for those rare occasions. I would love to have my whole home run by solar but that is not in the budget.

Is it possible you could give us an update on those blue barrels I see for your water storage in the background, and how you have currently have them set up?

I bought a Grecell 1000 with a 100W solar panel for about $ 650.00 on Amazon. I imagine prices have gone up some, but the units in the test are extremely expensive but maybe with higher capacities and solar input wattage. My Grecell does everthing I need in an power outage for emergency lights, fans and powerbank/cellphone charging for many days.

This is the stuff I can only dream about, in Australia the Bluetti Ac 200L costs $2800 and the Ecoflow delta 2 max is $3000, and on a disability pension that’s unobtainable.

Thank you, I used this video to finalize my selection for a set up that we could use for short term power loss at home, and also be able to be taken on the road in our camper. I selected the EcoFlow Delta 2 Max with 220W solar panels and the Wave 2 portable AC in a recent 40% bundle sale on the EcoFlow website. I can take my time expending for longer power outages knowing I can add two extra batteries and an extra 220W panel set.

I bought an AllPowers 700 and it arrived "sort of" charged ( not discharged as advertised). However, it would not power anything. I had to send it back, and since they did not have a replacement available, they refunded my money. It's disappointing since I was really looking forward to it for van travel.
