Can It Actually Replace A Gas Generator? Anker Powerhouse 767 

Thank you for the review. The 767 is a good complement to a gas generator. The gas can run during the day and the 767 can run at night.

AC current can act very strange, especially when something like an air conditioner turns on.The flow actually can move backwards. It seems like this unit doesn't have a problem with that and can allow a temporary heavy load. I would love to see voltage/amps on another device when something kicks on like air conditioning.

I'm a Bluetti fan but I am intrigued with these Anker Power house products. I have a few of their power banks and a car 12v charger and I like them a lot so I know Anker is a quality brand.

thanks for video , just I want to know how long it take time to full charge with 400W solar panel ? and another question is : if 30% of my power station have charge and I try to charge it on full , it take down the battery sycle ? and anothe question is : If I try to charge it with 400W solar panels on cloudy weather and my device dont charge until night and tomorrow again I try charge the rest , is it damage to battry life cycle ?

I currently have the 767/760 support battery, reversing power to condo, runs home refrigerator, freezer, and mini freezer, runs lights, enough to keep us with lights and tv during hurricane or power outages, runs 6k window a/c for 15 hours…just shut off whatever your not using and your ok, after outage I recharge it with my Honda Generator or house power,if FPL gets it back on…😂😂😂

Great video very informative! I'm also in sunny San Diego and am hoping the 767 will be able to power up my air conditioning unit in my 2018 Minnie Winnie 22m. Looks like the highest wattage it gets to is about 2040 but I'm also worried about the initial surge being too much. Looking forward to your video about the soft start! Thank you

Nice job on a short but informative video! Great job 😊

I am using a 767 plugged into a six 120v circuit transfer switch and it powers all six circuits individually or all together. The only issue I have encountered is when one of the older ceiling fans runs at a certain speed seems to impact our chest freezer on same circuit making its motor louder. There must be a cycle imbalance because changing the fan speed or turning on another device on that same circuit returns the freezer motor to normal. Similar a landscape light transformer gets loud when powered by the Anker. Otherwise the rest of the house powers fine. Seems devices with certain windings are more fussy but I haven't determined this to be an Anker issue and maybe just those devices. I love the 767 and house transfer switch combo, it's a great affordable power backup. I also use 3x200w portable solar panels in series to recharge the 767 or power certain circuits directly via the 767. Across the six circuits I have a full frig/freezer, mini frig, chest freezer, multiple tv's, AV receiver, several computers, routers, etc. lights, fans, outlets, etc. I have loaded tested each circuit so I know exact average watts needed and during a BAU period I can power all six circuits together for 8-12 hours off the 767 with expansion battery attached. I can also power each of the six circuits individually for 22-40+ hours off the 767. A simply flick of the transfer switch/s gives me full control without any interruption going from grid to 767 and back.

Just came across your video. My EcoFlow Delta max can run my A/C. The problem with initial start up of the A/C is the amperage goes above 15 amps, but my ac outlets are rated for 20 amps. It is not the wattage that shuts down the Anker but the amperage. On my A/C if I turn it on to high cool immediately it draws between 16 to 18 amps. The way I got mine to work was to ensure that everything was turned off in my RV. Than I started the A/C on low fan, for a minute, than on high fan for another minute, than I went to low cool until the compressor kicked in, this drew about 9 amps at start up than dropped to 3 amps, afterward I turned on high cool which stayed at 4 to 5 amps, than I turned on the fridge and what ever lights you wanted. Of course my a/c would run down my ecoflow in about an hour. I was just conducting a test as I did not want to install a soft start. My A/C is the Coleman Mach 13,500 BTU, just fyi. Good video by the way.

Anker sells a battery accessory that attaches nearly doubling the output to 4000w. I wonder if that changes the decision for “whole house” setup like you have.

Super informative review, definitely was just what I needed thank you!

I owned a Yeti and was not impressed but when I found out Anker had a power station I ordered one right away and haven't been disappointed so far.

Best review on the 767 out there. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed review. Do you know how long this would keep a large portable freezer running for? Power consumption is 60-80watts

I got several different models. A lot of Eco Flows. I ordered this without question! When it arrives. I might have to get another...lol....

You need an air conditioner soft starter. It starts the compressor first, then starts the fan a few seconds later. This way the initial in-rush current is dramatically less and you won't overload the pure sine wave inverter. They are available through E-bay for less than $150. It's not the same as the unit you're showing at 4:10. it actually installs inside the A/C itself.

Great idea 💯 👍 and 2 Eco flow delta pro and 4 Eco flow delta extra smart battery and Eco flow delta smart panel

30amp output is that still single phase correct? The 1st set of breakers on your manual transfer switch looked tethered so its running split phase. How is that wired to run your Koi pond pump?

When you connect this powerstation to power your home would it be able to act as a UPS and automatically start to power your house when power goes off?

Very detailed and informative review. Looking forward to your review on the in line soft start as I just got the 767 and was hoping to use it to intermittently power the AC unit on my sprinter van but it only turns it on for about 2-3 minutes and then get an overload reading from the unit. Although the 767 is rated at a surge captivity of 4800 watts it’s just not powerful enough to sustain the fluctuations of the compressors startup energy needs. Hoping in-line soft start would do the trick.

FYI. There’s a firm aware upgrade that fixes running your AC as another RU-vidr contacted anger and worked with him to resolve it

I tried the in-line soft start and it didn’t work for me. I tried the one from Softstart. Who manufactured yours?

Nice video, what 30 amp cord are you using plugged into the anker solix?

I was seriously looking at the Anker 767. It really appeared to be perfect for me. Integrated ac adapter, lovely screen, supposedly very quiet, nice app, good efficiency rating, love the handle and wheels and being Anker they have a good rep for customer service unlike company's like Bluetti. Nearly shed a tear when I saw it the 767 only allowed 60v solar input. Why Anker why. You were so so so close :(. Maybe they'll do a 768 release. Pretty please Anker. Apart from that its one hell of a unit imho.

I have a soft start on my small trailer

Could you provide a description/link of what cords and adapter you used to connect the Anker to the Transfer Switch? Ty!

I know some casino campers who regularly utilize the free parking at various casinos. This would be good for an application like that, which is essentially boon docking. Free power from the sun is appealing versus using a noisy gas generator. Nice video, I gave it a like.

How did the soft start work with the AC unit? I need some answers soon! Hahaha I want to pull the trigger on the 767

WHAT IS THE LINK TO THAT ACTIVE START IN-LINE ADAPTER????? I NEVER SAW THE FOLLOW-UP VIDEO ON THIS. 😮

Great video! Those are XT60 connectors, not XT90. The solar input voltage limit is 60v which is the biggest bummer. Also no simultaneous AC and DC charging. That in-line soft start looks cool, looking forward to specs and a review on that unit.

Considering this source of power for our RV when we boondock….. where did you get the inline soft start?

5 Anker solar panels x 1,000 watts, charges in 2.5 hours in full sun, 3.5 hours with the support battery…..

Good morning thanks where can i get it to buy 😅

great real life review!

Awesome review trying to see if this is a good backup battery for sump pumps.thoughts?

i would love to use a solar kit to power my house for 2-3 days in case of a power outage, but it does quite seem possible. Maybe by this coming fall 2024 prices will come down a little and products will get closer to what gas generators can do

Great video on the Solar Generator! For outdoor enthusiasts like us, having a reliable power source is essential. Have you heard of the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It has an impressive capacity, fast recharging, and a waterproof design. Check it out for your camping adventures or as a home backup power solution!

So I’m trying to figure out how to plug the anker into an RV socket. Every plug setup I see online is male to female but wouldn’t I need male to male connections to make this work?

If you notice some of the new air conditioner plugged into the wall it's not just the plug it's even has A GFI I believe that's a soft stop I think it energizes the plug!

nice dig at van lifers. I am full time and I use all my facilites too - just not from a pikey caravan!

I ditched my rooftop AC unit and installed a 115 volt mini split . I know it pulls approximately 7 amps running in turbo mode . When we’re not at our land ( rv location ) I like to leave our refrigerator on and mini split at i higher temperature . (80-82 degrees just to keep humidity down . My question is since the mini split is a soft start would it be able to run the 12,000 btu mini split and rv refrigerator with this generator for 6-8 hrs throughout the night which I’m sure the mini split will shut off since our nights are around 80 currently . We do have land power but my concern is leaving food in the refrigerator if we have a power outage and is there panels for it that are water proof ?

I researched the inline soft start device and they don’t work with battery stations. Just AC or generators

Cool review with some real world testing, thanks. FYI - the "30amp" plug is actually only 20amp output apparently...

You better keep your fuel powered generator as a back up or to charge this thing up. Believe me, you will need it... Great video and review.

Can you set up one of these, with a solar array, and power a single appliance with it constantly, like a full sized fridge, a chest freezer, or a window unit ac?

Can this unit be expanded, such as linking 2 systems together? Also, what's the advantage to using the 400w panels ?

Ecoflow pro has a 30 amp plug in

Can you have it pluged in a wall outlet and use it at the same time and/or solar too?

Where did you get that in line soft start?

Anker is running a sale right now: Use the link below to register and spin to win up to $1000 off: ankerfast.club/2aRdMH Anker 767 on Amazon: amzn.to/3JT1mtz Adapter to use standard solar panels with the 767: amzn.to/3nc8lVs

On the 30 amp plug on the anchor, what is the amperage connecting to your house, 30 amp or 50 amp? 🖖

I would think if you turn on the a/c in the trailer, set thermostat to hi and let fan start, then set thermostat to cool, the 767 will run the a/c

Add extra battery 👍

How often are your outages only 2hours? I've come to the conclusion that I think I'll need 800-1000w of solar and some good sunny conditions to keep my fridge going for multiple days. Might also need the expansion battery and do some load management.

Anker sells an expansion battery accessory that attaches nearly doubling the output to 4000w. I wonder if that changes the decision for the “partial house transfer switch” setup like you have. I think it might be an addition to the gas generator setup if you don’t want the noise, or hassle of going outside to connect everything in bad weather, etc. might not last too long, but with the expansion battery it would last almost twice as long… Of course the power station, plus expansion battery, plus two solar panels is well over $4000.

I detail cars and I don’t want to use gas powered would this be good enough just to power my vacuum for a few cars?

So if you kept the solar panels in direct sunlight all day long could you power your entire house without it dying?

DID IT RUN YOU WELL PUMP AND HOTWATER HEATER?

I have a 13' Scamp trailer. What (Anker Power Station) would I need to run a 5,000 btu air-conditioner and what solar panels to run the air conditioner all night long. I am NOT a techy and need simple instructions. Yes, you can talk DOWN to me.

400w but it's only input in 40-something ws

Did you try the AC with soft start?

Getting the 760 Expansion Battery will double your watts to 4098 watts.

That solar splitter connector scares me. Are those open xt connectors all live?

I purchased the powerhouse 767 with the extra battery and the extra battery is not charging. I have been using the system for less than 2 weeks and it's a complete fail. On Sunday, March 24, I update the firmware and the extra battery started to charge but today March 27, it stopped just like before. Now I have reached out to customer support but that's useless. They asked for my shipping address, invoice to show proof of purchase, serial number and a video with the issue. I sent all this on Sunday and today they asked for the same information. Anker, this is bad customer service. I was told in one of the emails to use DC to power the battery and then switch to solar. I can't do that since I only use solar. The video I sent showed that the solar panels and cable are working since I connect them to another battery and it was charging. Anyone, someone, what else can be done?

Bottom line for home use is, in a total power outage, these little units deplete too quickly and take too long to recharge. I do see where they can help support a small generator and enhance the generator’s effectiveness during a crisis. But at the cost, not sure if that’s even a smart decision?

While watching this I checked the price for that unit. Given the limited performance of all that combined paraphernalia, it really seems impractical. Plus, if the weather turned bad and you were confined indoors, your energy needs would escalate substantially.

No it can't power an entire home. At least not for very long before you fry the MOSFETs because of all the exposures to the high surge loads in your home. You'd be lucky to get even two years of service from this solar generator, especially when powering high inductance loads like full sized refrigerators, large power tools, portable AC units or large microwave ovens. The reason for this is that all of these lightweight, high frequency inverters lack a very critical component. That critical component is an iron core, copper wound output transformer. Without an output transformer to act as a buffer to absorb electrical surges provided by the “Flywheel Effect” inherent in the physical amount of a transformer’s iron, these surges and damaging reverse voltage spikes must be handled directly by the inverter’s MOSFET transistors, essential shortening their life. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when these high frequency inverters are new, but every time you fire up one of those inductive loads, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in these inverters. Another major consideration with these lightweight, high frequency, transformerless solar generators is safety. All it takes is for the AC output monitoring circuitry to fail and one of the MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground, and these solar generators can dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire.

my anker 757 stopped working after less than a year owning it - now its zero charge and wont charge. very light use - all these specs and features are useless if the unit stops working.

Insane that those solar panels are not water proof.

20 rv amp, not 30 amp

Cuts power everytime the wind blows😂 why do you live there?

Your just like every other channel that receives this stuff FREE. Stop playing semantics and saying it can replace a generator for your home. It can not. 2-3hrs is not replacing a generator. Not even a Honda eu2200 . ALL of these solar “ generators “ can only back up your home power for a short time 8-16 hrs and that’s not running your whole house . Especially if a storm lasts days without power and it’s cloudy for even more days . You’d have no power , unless you have a generator. These units , whether this one or eco flow delta or max are Companions to a generator. The can make the fuel for a generator last longer 4x longer , unless your actually intelligent and buy a complete back up generator like a Generac propane system that will run for months on propane. Good for RV ? Yes. A companion to a generator? Yes . Charge it up with your generator. Then use the battery until dead and charge it up with the generator again, great system to make the fuel stretch longer

How did you connect it to your home? You didnt show that at all. Fail

Interesting, just how are you getting 400Watts of solar with over a third of each panel in the shade?

NO! it will not for the time you need, lol at this video.

Very annoying website😊

Can you run 8, 000 btu ac?

Get me to watch 4 videos to see if this powers a air conditioner finally the conditioner require massive amperage and no one talks about amperage this is where the massive cost of electricity bill comes from tos unit is useless for amperage
