I've been giving this power station a good old fashioned road test since purchasing before easter 2023. For the cost involved in both materials and time a portable power station like the iTech World 1300P is the way to go.
But don't buy this one, do some research and buy one that suits you. This isn't a sponsored review, I paid the full $2300 for it and if I had my time again I wouldn't buy this current model.

Hi Mate! Thanks for sharing. Just found your channel. I will be filming my review on the same unit in coming months - paid full in November 2022. Agree with everything you've said. I tie down the unit in the back of Prado - rough multi day high country trips etc. Haven't had a problem with the 30A mini anderson adaptor, and unless cargo pushes down on the 12V cig plug, it stays connected too. I face the unit against the side of the car in the boot - which makes accessing plugs a bit more difficult but keeps the sockets protected from weather when tailgate open and stops cargo knocking the plugs. When I push it hard up against the wheel arch plastic trim I still have clearance near the wall to fit the plugs into sockets. Still wish it had a normal anderson plug output. Looks like you are using GoPro or similar for some of your filming - suggest change settings from wide to 'linear' this will make it seem like a normal camera, and not like a fish-eye lens. You may be all over this already. Best wishes, Dan

Iv got a little companion 40 ah instead of putting in a dual battery setup so I can throw it between our trucks. Get about a day and a half out of it in summer running a 40l fridge but normally run it on the charge driving between camps or solar panel it to top it up. Highly rate lithium battery packs, love mine👌

@budget-adventure 8 месяцев назад

Ah okay. Do you use the inverter much? Obviously the smaller battery capacity units work well there’s a flood of them in the market. I just like the piece of mind having the higher capacity just in case. I didn’t mention it in the video but at the start of this trip the 12v car charger got hot and melted so I had no way of charging it after I left home. It was fine for a night away, but you expect better quality out of a $2300 unit

@anotherguyonabike4726 8 месяцев назад

@@budget-adventure yeah mate 100% agree with you id prefer a larger capacity one, for a long weekend mine is perfect but if I was going longer id love a larger one like yours just to reduce charging frequency. Yep mine actually does the same thing gets very hot at the cig socket after a couple hours of charging while driving, definitely a downside hey.

I bought one last June 2022 use it twice or three times, now it stopped working

@budget-adventure 6 месяцев назад

If it’s still new there should be a warranty on it.

@ParadigmImagesVideoPhotography 6 месяцев назад

@@budget-adventure only 12 months warranty, which is not enough. Mine is 18 months old . I have sent it back, hopefully it is not a major fault.

@budget-adventure 6 месяцев назад

@@ParadigmImagesVideoPhotography yeah 12 months isn’t enough of this stuff. Should be at least two especially with how much they cost

@ParadigmImagesVideoPhotography 6 месяцев назад

@@budget-adventure I will not be considering buying their stuff, I want to upgrade to a 2000 W or more power station, they do have a new one with 2000W, but after my experience with their stuff, will not be considering it.

@budget-adventure 6 месяцев назад

Adding a larger inverter is one thing, but if it’s still the 100ah lithium battery then it’s just not worth it. There’s no reason why these power packs don’t have a 200ah battery in them now.
