OUPES is truly helping by donating units to people that can't afford them. People that may need them for medical reasons or are in dire straits and need help

The one thing you didn’t cover was that the expansion batteries have their own MPPT solar inputs and 12v/ USB outputs making an expansion battery great for camping on its own.

Enjoyed the review a lot. I know that you shouldn't have to "hack" a product to make it work, but maybe you COULD try putting a couple of wraps of Gorilla Tape or Flex Tape around the wheels to keep them from marring your floors. Just an idea that occurred to me. I haven't tried it myself.

Yup, please do reviews of the "bigger guy" and "smaller guy". Also PLEASE create a Google Sheet comparing all the data from all your testes, and add affiliate links so you can make more money from your work, and we can all have a one-stop-shop to compare all your data! (also a link to each unit from the Google sheet to your review videos will get you more views too).

Check out city prepping’s KZfaq channel. He has an incredibly detailed and expansive spreadsheet about basically every solar bank/generator available and has done extensive testing of them while always buying them himself to give an unbiased perspective vs getting given free shit and saying everything is awesome.

Jackery is one that comes up alot but would like to find out all my options. You guys do a very thorough job on reviews. Glad I found this channel!

You should definitely add to the likes that Mega2 and 3 have expandable solar. I got oupes because you can add up to 15kwh of batteries and add a massive 14.7kw of solar and charge the whole unit faster than any solar generator on the matket. I have found no other brand that has the same expandable features as oupes.

5:25 15 amp max but you forgot that it has a 150v maximum also.. nobody else has this in this range of product.. Eco Anker that's huge. You also talked about lower cost things like the Anderson port.. but forgot to mention it's 30amp.. not many others have this at this level either.. for a camper this is huge. But thank you for mentioning the help project. Nobody else does that.. and yeah wish they could pair up to increase output. But their expansion battery also has 2k solar input. Great video.. and videos.. but yeah missed the two big wins for this. 150v and 30amp 12v

I bought a couple Ankers and then I bought Ecoflow. Ecoflow has a app function called Backup Reserve (under Energy Management). It allows you to set a percentage of battery, and above that it will only charge from solar. Once it falls below that it will draw from grid. But just enough to keep it at the minimum percentage. I will no longer buy a battery that doesn't have that. I wish your reviews would say whether or not the app has that.

They're the only company with decently priced systems and have expansion batteries that add more MPPT for a not bad price. This is the only system I want go buy. The surge thing is pretty sucky but I just have fo watch. Maybe I missed it but a test for DC efficiency would be nice.

I have not yet seen anyone use the Mega 2/3 to charge their Tesla. Other power stations require to to use a neutral to ground bonding plug, or Ecoflow Pro 3 has the ability to bypass this in the app. Any chance we can use the TT-30 outlet on here to charge a Tesla?

Peak Shave? Has Pecron done any better in the last year? I bought a budget E600 and had big problems with it overloading in hot weather and then draining its battery to 0 and never resetting its self. It became an expensive boat anchor. I was only pulling 80 watts DC. Pecron's customer warranty absolutely sucks as of last year.

I just checked the website link and they're listing this unit a 1,999.00. That was a really short sale price drop. That's the same price as the more popularly known Bluetti of the same capacity. About how long would it take to charge this unit from a 30 percent state of charge to a 100 percent state of charge using a 700-watt solar array, assuming optimum charging conditions? I asked this same question on the Oupes website chat feature but, it appears that no one is present during the middle of a common work day.

@@TheSolarLab when you do review it, can you outline why this DP3 still only has 150V input for MPPT? Also why ecoflow left the Smart Home Panel (version 1) behind with no support of legacy delta pro? They have support from the DP3 to the DP (extra batteries) but have basically made the original Delta Pro that made them wildly successful obsolete and a huge boat anchor.
