Hahaha... thanks! I've struggled with that too, and I take most things on here with a grain of salt. Typically I look for: 1) A channel that isn't eligible for monetization - less than 1k Subs (since the views won't pay for the equipment) 2) And Isn't sponsored by any brands. This will ensure the user bought the gear with the intention to own, not the intention to show it off.

You bet!

Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful!

@@harrisonhobbies241 what do you think of the Omnicharge Ultimate?

I was actually considering that when i got this. The swappable battery on the Omi seems like a bit of a gimmick, and i went with the Goal Zero because it would work with my panes. And i suspect its AC output is also modified sine wave - so i think they are pretty equal in cool factor, just with different feature sets.

@@harrisonhobbies241 Thank you for the response. I’m currently debating if I should go with the Goal Zero or the Omnicharge. I’m moving towards the Omnicharge more for the removable battery. Mainly since I would be able to swap the battery out when the old battery ages and won’t hold charges anymore. It’s a tough call..

Nor a second USB C

Absolutely. I believe that computer is around 45 watts, and this will put out 60, so lots of headroom. I've run a 120 watt Dell Precision and a 65 watt Dell Inspiron off PD, and it can charge those too. The Precision was draining its own battery to supplement power, however.

You wont bee able to. It is way under powered.

Yeah. it's a dirty circuit. What you're hearing is 60 Hz power with a square wave form, and is especially common on square wave units. Basically, you've got some capacitors that charge up and dump 60 times per second.

Hi Javi - can you elaborate? I don't understand your question.

@@harrisonhobbies241 hello, the unit has power passthrough meaning you can charge the unit while making use of the AC outlet, atleast thats how i understand it.

@@javilo2797 Ah - I understand what you mean now. Yes, your understanding is correct. A bit more information related to how I've used it: It doesn't have an actual AC-in. It has 12-20V in for solar (and this is where a wall charger would plug in too). This pass-through is logical if running solar since you may want to convert that power and use it immediately. Using this with an AC input doesn't make much sense though, unless you intent to use it as a UPS. This can also have DC-in from a car or bank of batteries, so you can use it as an AC inverter (while also charging) It also has PD in which is nice since you can attach up to 2 power banks and effectively increase its battery capacity - for example, 2 lower-cost 60-watt power banks running it concurrently will keep up with the AC output, and can double or triple the capacity. You can also use a 60-watt PD car charger to keep it going longer. Hopefully this gives a bit of insight into the various options where the pass-through makes sense.

@@harrisonhobbies241 wow thanks for the detailed answer didnt know you could use two other power banks to “charge” the sherpa at the same time in passthrough mode!

Hi John! If you're interested in the Goal Zero brand, then any of their larger Yeti models that DO have a sine wave inverter. RavPower is also a good brand to consider as they make larger AC power banks with sine wave inverters.

@@harrisonhobbies241 thanks, I have a yeti 1000, I'm looking for a small unit for travel. The ac plug seemed cool but I most likely won't use it much. So I think I'll go with the smaller goal zero or the Omni.

The sanity those stand-in baby sitters provide is well worth having to listen to them make dinosaur sounds they hear on the tablets.
