There are a few differences being the PPS2000 can take either 12v or 36v+ solar panels without issues, the AC200P doesn't take 12v solar panels. The AC200p only charges at 700 watts, this can hit 900 watts via solar. The screen timeout is nice on this one, the AC200p screen is on 100% of the time. I'll have to do a comparison video on both of them soon.

By far the most thorough testing of any reviewer. As interesting side not, the AC inverter parasitic loses factor into the overall capacity test. If you run the inverter at rated output until the battery is depleted, you may be able to get a max capacity value that doesn't suffer as much of the parasitic losses of the inverter. Good, large AC pure sine inverters are not known for their efficiency. The best i have seen is the SMA Sunny Island 5KW inverter, which is 97% efficient and can idle with no load of 4 watts, but it costs about twice as much as this power station.

@Jasonoid 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks John, that's impressive efficiency... 4 watts! That would be awesome! I try to keep these tests realistic so that if you had a measured load that was going to pull 500 watts, you'd know pretty well how long it would last on this power station. Some of that capacity is for sure wasted by parasitic drain. I would have liked to see more capacity in this model since it's rated at 2150wh but didn't get near that number.

Other that honestly rating it, I wonder how difficult it would be for Energizer to put wheels on it, considering the weight.

I agree, reliability is the most important thing buyers desire from solar generators or any generators which a majority of these solar generators have many issues that are rarely fixed and many buyer reviews reveal units after a year or two of updates will still fail with little use... so these two highlighted problems are huge reasons why it's ridiculous these solar generators are priced so high. If SHTF and one's solar generator quickly fail, then one is putting their family in a huge risk of being harmed or not surviving especially if one has family members who need solar generator to power their medical devices. DIY solar system are better but the biggest con is that one will have difficulty moving the parts if one's house is compromised and one has to quickly leave.

@@rebellucy6200 Jackery are probably the most reliable portable solar generators available but their batteres do not last long, they're overpriced, takes longer to charge with solar panels compared to other solar generators, and their proprietary solar charge inputs are annoying because it makes it difficult to use any random solar panels to charge the unit.

Have you done a reveiw on nature's generator at under a thousand dollar canadien it's à good price unfortunately it's sealed lead acid batteries but it's improper charge parameters means you need to replace batteries yearly with some proper reviews maybe they'll fix that it would cost them nothing other than the sale of 5 to eight replacement batteries and it shouldn't add more 600$ to the price to replace the ridiculous low pwm solar charge controller with a programmable mppt solar charge controller that could be programed for lithium I'd love to see a proper review to see if the 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter is any good or n

Few differences but yes, it's basically a Bluetti EB200, which has a few upgrades over the AC200p. It appears the Bluetti uses better cells as it's rated at 3500 cycles to 80%, this one is only 2000 cycles.
