ALLPOWERS sent me their S200 power station/solar generator for review. Instead of just reviewing another product on youtube, I thought this would be a great opportunity to explain everything people will want to know about power banks and solar generators in general. I use the ALLPOWERS S200 power station to explain all the numbers and features that could be important. I also put the S200 to the test to see if it lives up to the listed specifications. I hope this video was helpful and you were able to learn something new. Thanks for watching!

Damn, this is by far the best review content I have seen, simply cause it goes through all the specs and basic consumer needs in a clear, concise, and educated manner. If this technique can be harnessed in an edutainment way, with more editing magic, this can be supreme. at least it should be! Steller work, thank you so much! Stay incredible homie!

@4WheelKid Месяц назад

Thanks so much! Would be cool to make a better educational video!

@dant.6364 Год назад

Wow man, I’ve never seen anybody go through the specs on the side of the box and explain it so well but then TW200 riders tend to be smarter than the average bear! 👍

@4WheelKid Год назад

for sure, I thought it could be useful to explain what it all means. haha thanks. were not very fast but we will get there

@11Daniel2k 3 месяца назад

the actual capacity i measured was just over 40000mah, note when it says its 100 its still pushing nearly 60w in for around 30 mins.

@4WheelKid 3 месяца назад

Nice

@4hm3dhm 6 месяцев назад

Unfortunate that they advertise it is a pure sign wave inverter in their marketing materials. Can you recommend a power station with pure sign wave in a package that is as compact as this or smaller? I need it for powering sensitive medical equipment

Wow, now this is an informative video! Exactly what I was looking for as I was after something to run a heated blanket and charge a phone on a camping trip. You answered all my doubts so I'll pass on this one.

@4WheelKid 16 дней назад

no problem! it's good to learn before buying something. I love my 12 heated blanket I run on my other bigger power stations, will keep me warm all night long with lots of power left.

@MasaruYTChannel Год назад

Thanks for the video! I bought this model in the UK recently and I am having exactly the same capacity issue on my unit. It was completely empty when it arrived, and I did capacity tests several times both AC and DC output, and all results are less than 100Wh.

@4WheelKid Год назад

no problem! did you see how it came out of the box? mine was backward so the cutouts didn't line up the buttons so I think it got turned on while in transit. someone commented saying they purposely have the batteries at zero for air transport. not sure exactly why but, yeah did not get close to the stated wh, I can understand the AC inverter having a parasitic draw to change the voltage, because inverters are like 95% efficient. did not even come close to living up to the stated rating.

@ridethroughlifertl Год назад

That was pretty informative. I've never been good with electrical like this. That box looks pretty neat. Too bad they didn't make all the controls and ports on the front, or you really could install it in an old cassette player deck slot in a vehicle. Then just have the box charge from the vehicle and use all the ports during non-driving times.

@4WheelKid Год назад

Good to hear, the numbers can get confusing for sure, yeah that is such a good idea, maybe someone could come up with something exactly for that. Maybe have a usb port on the back as well with a switch on the front that you can use to power interior lights and not kill your battery, then its charging as the engine is running. Lot of cars have double din radios then when you install a single din there is an extra slot and might as well make it useful

@ridethroughlifertl Год назад

@@4WheelKid Yeah totally. If it were powerful enough, it could even be used to jump start the vehicle from inside too, just charged off of solar or something.

@Free__Speech 7 месяцев назад

The auto power off is a safety issue. I will avoid this battery

@enzoribeiro9471 Год назад

Hi. First of all I would like to congratulate you for the excellent and educational video. Please forgive me if my question is too simple, but when you say modified sine wave, and not recommending plugging in a laptop, are you referring only to the AC Outlet port or also to the USB-C port (which can also charge a laptop )? Thank you again.

@4WheelKid Год назад

hey thanks. modified sine wave only refers to the A/c outlet, USB C should be the same as any other usb c port, perfectly fine plugging a laptop into the usb c port on this power station

@Heartsofworship88 Год назад

If it can’t put out at least 110v AC, that’s a big issue.

@4WheelKid Год назад

yeah it was missing about 20 volts, not a great inverter

@ericrussell03446 Месяц назад

Can it be used while its charging

@4WheelKid Месяц назад

Not sure!

@acuraintegrar5 Год назад

Great vid man! Im beginning to notice alot of electronics rarely match or exceed their ratings. Good honest review 🤙🏻

@4WheelKid Год назад

Thanks! 👍 yeah seems to be the norm, That's why it's good to test. much appreciated

@bennyhill3505 Год назад

Overall would you recommend it. There's an S100 available in the UK , very light use, with solar panel boxed with all accessories for $140. I'm planning on taking it camping, and to power a few things whilst Busking.

@4WheelKid Год назад

Its not bad if its covers everything you need it to do, just wish it had a pure sine wave inverter and was closer to the rated capacity

@CaryOutArk 10 месяцев назад

I finally understand the capacity now! Will 154Wh be enough to go on a overland trip by moped? I just need to charge camera, phone and a small laptop once in a while, and charge where ever I stop to eat or sleep.

@4WheelKid 10 месяцев назад

Glad to clear that up! It depends How long the trip is, how much power you need to charge stuff if you dont need an inverter I would go with this one its 266 watt hours and similar size just no inverter but it has 12v a.co/d/6YQjBqs

@marekmatuska8483 Год назад

Hello. You soo cool , but I would like to know which power bank over 50000mah to buy then to charge my laptop and phone and all other devices safely . Which one you recommend it ????

@4WheelKid Год назад

Anything with a pure sine wave inverter is fine. Always go off of wh not mah. Something like this is good a.co/d/8vzdjhB

@luisfigueroa691 Год назад

Hey buddy i have an msi delta 15001 gaming laptop, is there an external battery or baterry charging station that you recommend that can charge that laptop??

@4WheelKid Год назад

hey I have an MSI laptop as well and they are power hungry. you want something with a pure sinewave inverter then it depends on how much power you want. and how much you can spend. something like this is good www.amazon.com/Zendure-Lightweight-Emergency-Prevention-SuperBase/dp/B0BDLG9H1M/ref=sr_1_3?crid=161FEJ4IZQDOQ&keywords=zendure%2B600m&qid=1695587451&sprefix=zendure%2B600m%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-3&th=1

@hakes2 10 месяцев назад

So they LIE

@4WheelKid 10 месяцев назад

seems like it, I'm interesting in testing the capacity in all brand power stations to see how accurate the watt hour specs are

@PatsTravels Год назад

Unbelievable that it dropped from 24- to 15-hrs for a 3 watt load. Between that and the modified sine wave inverter, this would have real limited use cases.

@4WheelKid Год назад

yeah the inverter is not the best. would rather them scrap it and just give use some extra usb ports haha

@MaxGoddur Год назад

I have one of those handheld Oscopes and am hesitant to connect it to AC power after being told by an engineer I should do something with the ground before doing so. Do you have an idea what this is about and if I can connect my handheld Oscope to AC directly?

@4WheelKid Год назад

if you have a multi meter like mine with the built in oscilloscope it's fine, mine is rated for like 1000 volts or something. the engineer is referring to a regular bench top oscilloscope, that has grounds exposed on the connectors and that can be very dangerous

@zstorage4323 Год назад

Thank you for this great video; Can you recommend me something SIMILAR in size with a true Sinus Wave?; Do you know ANY -not to bulky- that you can tell me?, so I can research?, please?

Mine has got two plug sockets on the front and it was also dead flat when i got it. Ive also got the s 700 watt one and that was dead flat aswell.

@4WheelKid 10 месяцев назад

interesting. it's not good for the cells to be discharged like that for long time storage. usually stuff with lithium batteries and all the other power stations I have gotten comes with 50-70% charge cause that's healthiest for the cells for long term storage, you never know how long product will sit in storage or transit

@marekmatuska8483 Год назад

So do you recomend it to charge my mac book or asus laptop ? Should I buy it or go for Anker 140w

@4WheelKid Год назад

if your using usbC this power station would be great. if your plugging into the inverter outlet, not a great idea, could be fine but people have issues with modified sine wave inverters

@rhysezfpv Год назад

How many times can this charge a Mavic 3 battery which is 15.4 volts, 5000 Mah , 77 Wh ? Thx bro .

@4WheelKid Год назад

a little over 1 time. the mavic battery is 77wh I was getting about 100 actual wh out of this power bank. so you have about 23wh left after a full charge on the mavic battery plus you have to factor in that some power may be lost during the transfer process. also are you considering using the inverter to charge the mavic battery? because my mavic air charger won't even power on with modified sine wave inverters

@rhysezfpv Год назад

@@4WheelKid Which inverter? This one Im talking about ? YES ! Mavic 3 batt can be charged by plugging the drone directly with batt inside using just a USB C cable. You dont need an actual charger base to charge it. Altho Im not sure if it will charge as fast. I have not even flown this brand new drone yet. If this pack works . It would be better buying an actual Mavic 3 batt. Since I travel with 2 drones inside my Ebike frame and this will give me time to charge a batt while traveling to another location. Or charge another drone on it. Thx

@ThingsAboutMusic Год назад

Good info thanks. I can see for an RVer docking might be able to use both charge ports. The inverted sin is a limitation

@wesley7202 Год назад

I read somewhere online that you are supposed to keep your powers station topped up to 100 every day after you use it is that true ?

@4WheelKid Год назад

if your going to need to use it I would charge to 100% if your going to store it and not use it for a while then around 50 to 70% is the best state of charge to keep the lithium ion batteries healthy
