Wow that's a big advert 🤔 a pity you hadn't compared it to other similar items, otherwise it's all one-sided 🤔🤔🤔 I'm here for the tech not the adverts 😢

This was so extremely helpful!! Thank you!

outstanding product

Have 2 that’s being delivered tomorrow will bridge with their adapter to get up to 12kW load to back up the house. Also have 2 extended batteries for a total of 15kWh capacity

With the weather being as cold as it is right now another option for keeping your food chilled is available. You can store your food outside in a tote. The tote should use up a lot less electricity than your freezer or refrigerator.

How many of those spare batteries can you set on the top? I have 1 spare but another on the way - wondering if 2 on the top will exceed the weight the wheels can handle

if i wanted to charge with a dual fuel generator, what 25-50ft ext cord and/or adapter would i need? great review!

What are your thoughts on the 60V limit for the solar inputs? What is the recommended solar setup to achieve 2,400 watts of input? Is this something that Anker could address via a software update?

I have a Honda GX340 5500 Watt generator with bonded neutral but Tesla does not like the power. I added a transformer to reduce the voltage but Tesla Model 3 complained about the power and would not charge. I think you need a pure sine wave generator to charge an EV.

Pass through charging?? Can it charge while on use?

ecoflow delta pro ultra comp?

No sine wave too an issue for EV charging with the gas generator I think

3:28 your test of running two saws made no sense if you were running one at a time. What am I missing?

Well, besides the downsides of the gasoline/propane/NG/diesel generator, you have nearly unlimited electricity production, as long as you keep the supply of gasoline/propane/NG/diesel coming. There's a reason why places like hospitals rely on on-demand diesel generators in power outages (diesel generators last a long time too). I still like the battery backup power stations a lot, but it's just that they can't fully compete unless they have the addition of some sort of significant, reliable power replenishment (or you have 100s of large and charged battery expansions).... In other words, a small (hopefully on-demand) generator to recharge the batteries is probably a good idea if you encounter a long-term power outage (e.g., aftermath of ice storm or hurricane, that pulls down many power lines in the area). The size and space of a fuel-powered generator (and its fuel) is small compared to how many charged battery cells you'd need to have and store (plus $ cost) for long-term power outage. Solar panel or wind turbine replenishment may be compromised or damaged in storm aftermath also..... A big part of the reason for fuel's advantage is its energy density. 'Fossil' fuels are in fact a concentration of Solar energy over millions of years. Solar and wind (and others) are limited to real-time extraction of Solar energy, which is obviously less dense (yes wind comes from the influence of the Sun on the atmosphere)... In time, energy density of batteries will surely improve. Note that fuel generators aren't rated in Watt-hours, just in Watts, because the 'hours' depends on how much fuel it has to work with. Yeah, yeah I hate the exhaust and noise too.

The new Ecoflow Pro Ultra leaves this product in the dust.

less thank 4kwh capacity. Well Honda will get you nice clean Gen 5Kwh and you can run all day long with gasoline. So loud at work any way. How much solar energy you can bring to charge those eGen. this is just hype clean Gen. Not good for work, just for game, camping, for playing not for working.

That device shows 60hz NOT a pure sine wave.

Anker SOLIX F3800 base cost: about $4,000.....Generac IQ3500 price: about $1,000.
