Can you avoid the spike by turning it on first and then plugging in another device ?
❤ Thank You Very Much ❤
Thank you, very informative and simple . Now I can go shopping. Looking for some home emergency use.
What’s better? Geneartor or Power Station?
I agree you shouldn’t call them generators, it seems kind of fraudulent to do so.
I actually tested a small lamp we use in the kitchen, that draws 1 watt lol
"Will you ever need to charge these more than 500 times? I doubt it." lol *cries in South African* 🥲
God bless you.
What a great review! Thank you
Great video I appreciate your time.🤘🤘
How long to charge these by plugging in the wall?
The are NOT cleaner. They are only easier!
Can I use a CPAP machine with this
Host is excellent – good diction, perfect delivery.
BTW: Nope, We *DON’T* use led lights > they are very unhealthful, stick with incandescents to stay well. (Using led outdoors for property lighting is OK as its not shining on you.)
I just wanna power a laptop for 12 hours straight… that’s all I need. Which is good for that ?
A removable flashlight/ambient light would be a good feature.
I have a stereo that I use outdoors 2500 watts I don’t know which one to buy
Great ! Clear , simple
So can I keep this plugged in to my wall to keep it charged and my 1500 w heater plugged into this if the power goes out then will my 1500 watt heater keep on running without it going out if the power goes out
The adapter gets so hot during charge. Is this safe?
Can you use this as a charger for a house heater
Would this be safe to charge a power wheelchair ♿️? For a three day camping in the middle of the no where
Mmm yes, working on my MK I power armor thank you for this input
Like you’re not the thousandth utuber to explain this😂
We can used electric sewing machine to
Major point is "pass-through". For example, can you continue to charge with solar panels will drawing from them with devices/utilities at the same exact time.
Thank you for putting this together
Why doesn’t anybody tell us whether this thing will run a 1500 watt heater overnight on a full charge it’s just the simplest question no one will answer
Ok. Sold!!😅😊
can this be used for a washlet that needs 120 V GFCI? Thanks!
Very interesting please have this vedeo upload..thank you
I need to inflate balloons outside at the site and they don’t always have a power source. My electric balloon pumps are 600 and 700 watts. I bought 2 and returned them. 600W surge, but the outlets I think are only 300watts each. I saw one for 1000watts, but does that mean each outlet is only up to 500 watts? I’m frustrated now.
Good,but expensive.
Can you charge the station with an ac plug ?
This is the best YouTube video I have ever seen. No nonsense, straight to the point and very comprehendible.
So a the 1530 battery will power a 1200 watt roaster oven for a little over an hour before drawing down a needing to be recharged?
Im.wondering can you run an electric heater off that jackory?for like 12 hours ?
What would you recommend for someone living the winter months inside of a compact car?
But how do recharge if have no power
I’m in the market for a generator .. I plan to use at a pop up event whenever I am pressing iron ons to a cap. Or for ironing vinyl on tshirt I just don’t want to spend so much
Great review and information! Thanks for sharing!
Wrong. Most are using lithium iron phosphate batteries.
At least you’re not calling it a solar generator like the other Liars it’s nothing more than a battery with an inverter all you can charge it with a solar charger big deal I can charge my cardboard battery with a solar charger
Now that this technology is beginning to grow stronger legs, I’m beginning to look into it more seriously.
However, I’m not finding much help and info to assist me in deciding if it can help me as yet.
I wish to stop using petroleum-powered generators as I hate those fumes when doing things publicly (or at all).
But I’m not used to considering W with Wh, and unsure what would, if at all, drive my current portable P.A. system for any decent length of time so it isn’t a constant concern while performing.
The P.A. system uses approx 750 to 800W, and, of course, any power source, also has to drive a laptop, mixer, and various synths or drum machines and fx (all of which added to the P.A. system, are unlikely to push the needed wattage much above 1000W).
It would be great to be able to run this setup for at least 8hours, with 12 to 20 hours being more ideal, even if I never need to run it for so long at a time.
Anyone who could advise?
If I want it for air fryer which one is better hope I get an answer thank you
Don’t care about the dad dude…give me facts
How much
Considering one of these for living on a sailboat and not wanting to use all the solar panel power for phone/computer charges, fans, etc! Would be comforting to have one of these all charged up from the mainland as a back up or just as extra power that can be recharged at a hotel or somewhere! Love that the one can be charged by solar panels as well tho!
Invest in a gas generator
