I was an early adopter of the Allpowers S2000 and have to say that when it worked, it was really good. In fact I loved it and recommended it to friends. But I'd now think twice about using it in a mobile environment. It's simply not robust enough. The very first time I took it away in the caravan it broke. Something inside shook loose and started rattling. It no longer charges from mains though everything else works. There were no falls, no bumps and it was secured on a foam cushion as are my Lithium batteries. I contacted Allpowers directly and asked where I could get it fixed (at my own cost), they said i'd have to buy a new one. Yes, I can still charge it from solar but that's hardly practical in a Scottish winter. Essentially they are not interested, so after little more than a year it was a £1200 brick. I absolutely intend to buy a replacement but sadly it will definitely NOT be an Allpowers.

I have the Allpowers Monster X 2000w output and 3300w max surge output solar generator. For the last year and a bit. Great unit for wild camping. I can run my Mo Health Air fryer for 10 days no problem. Here in Ireland I wild camp alot. Also it has quick charging from Ac 1.5 hrs as it uses the full power from the socket.

Mel, good video. I've 2 of these packs used in our van and in our home. One powers our installed diesel heater and Mrs is currently cooking on another. They are the mutts nuts, no matter the comment from trols. All I will say the 799 price is fantastic, but mine was more expensive but came with 400w solar panels. When the need arises, I connect the whole van up to power coffee, laptop and have ample supply of rechargeable energy. Even use the vans panel on the road but split so it doesn't have any van mppt issues with the AP having its own. Endless power

Pity those AC sockets are right above and close to some of the other ports, eg the 12v ciggie one. Can imagine the AC cables will interfere/foul them...but then again you can always just use an extension lead or multiplug etc.

Impressive product and seems to be a good price considering it‘s power and capacity. But will you find the problem of cold weather lithium battery switch off an issue with you not keeping your diesel heater on overnight. Following on from that thought how about trying a max/min thermometer to check your temperature from switch off time to switch on time.

@Klojum Жыл бұрын

A 1500 watt power unit that suggests 2000 watts via its advertising name... Hmm. "Can it run a diesel heater?" All proper power banks can run a diesel heater, the real question is how long can they really. That all depends on the power bank capacity and the battery quality. Just like with smartphones, every battery has a quality drop-off. That remaining time indicator has quite an ADHD issue: changing that display upto 10 times a second is not helping. TBH, I would try to (also) have a microwave oven in my camper. It is quicker and about half as energy-demanding with a single cup of water than putting a big kettle on an induction cook top.

@Matty-Travels Жыл бұрын

Don't like idea of having something on it that I'd never be able to use. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Whatever the RV thing is. I'll stick to the jackery. My jackery 240 can power the diesel heater no problem.

Funnily enough, since there's half a dozen Amazon listings for this, there was one that was the X Pro and 3 100w solar pannels for $950 with a coupon. I thought it was kind of sketchy, especially when the station arrived early with no panels. But sure enough, they came a few days later. It might be a knockoff using AllPowers branding though. You never know with China. So I can't vouch for the longevity of this thing. But if it's genuine, it's a steal.

Have to say, I'm getting a little fed up with all the powerbank reviews I'm seeing in the vanlife community. It must be lovey getting a 2 grand bank and panel system gifted to you so you can essentially do the selling for the company. However, most people can't afford that outlay sadly. Not knocking you personally Mel but these 'reviews' are rife and quite frankly rub people's noses in it who are on a tight budget.
