I’m looking to set up a van to stay in primary for me and my dog and want a solar powered long lasting but cheap power station does anyone have any advice on what and where to get one I’m not familiar with them to know what to get possible microwave TV cell phone small portable AC
You did not discuss the frequency (Hz) it is as important as the Watts. Some devices are rated at 60hz and some power stations can only supply 220v at 50hz

does portable power station make my electric bill high by charging it?
thanks so much for the nfo!
I have used EBL 300 watt for a Yamaha SX900 keyboard for one hour play sessions, on board speakers w microphone! 5-6 hours before I need to re-charge.
Yamaha a/c to d/c connection as “ into a wall socket” is not jeopardizing the keyboard. Really liberating!
What’s the smallest that will handle 6 watts, 12V and AC port?
wich PPS up 300 w do you recommend with car jummper function? Thanks
Is that a knock off Jackery?
If you have to charge it use a public space to charge, like a library , laundry matt, or police station.
The power station, does it have to charge too? If so pick a place with a large concentration of people like at a grocery store, restaurant, a park. Places that if they look at the bills it’s already high but the company covers there own stuff.
The alternator doesn’t need to spin faster, it’s just harder to spin causing the engine to work harder and consume more fuel.
Best portable battery vid I’ve seen so far… and I’ve watched quite a few. Thanks!
When the power goes out, you don’t care which one you have, you’re just happy you have something.
The problem is they all charge brutally slow.
Would that also charge a refrigerator or freezer in emergency?
Over complicated, overpriced battery with a fancy name .
I want to buy one to charge my scooter while riding it
U could’ve just said PPS –
Excellent delivery of information, well organized delivery.. Thank You !!
Thanks for that brilliant buying guide for a power station, alot there i didnt know, so thanks
What, do I need to power a portable powered refrigerator (they look like a cooler)????
My laptop pulls close to 300 watts
Question for people in this thread smarter than me: 🙂 I have a pretty important medical device (it literally powers my heart) and I want to travel to the Philippines in November. Does one of these allow the user to charge with 220, 50hz AC power, and use the output at 110v AC power? I need to fly with it, so 160wh is the upper limit. Any suggestions?
Hai bro , can u pls mention the name of the connector that you used for connecting solar panel to the power station ( charging port area) . I have a brand named “Switch “ 500W , which comes with the same socket ( as in EBL) . It have two inputs for charging, one come with normal charger , other port is for solar , but the unit came without those connectors . So i have no idea about the name of the connector to be ordered from online platforms
i bought a handheld console for videogames asus rog ally z1…will this have enough power to keep it running 12 hrs straight?
Important!!! Some of this, like Itech world, have a modified syne wave inverter in it, Do not use the 240v for fridge, electric blanket etc… because it will damage sensitive electronics.
Thank you very much. 😊
Need help, i have an oxígeno concentrador with 350watt average consumption. I need to know what kind of solar battery to buy. And what brand or model is best. I have solar panels and 1 Tesla battery 2 but the concentrator lowers the Tesla pencentage
Loved your whole explanation- including examples you gave. Just wish the texts were on a little longer– I had to pause the video to see them :). Thank you so much for your expertise!!
I want to go car camping but i have a cpap. How many watts would I need?
Very helpful, thank you!
Very useful thanks.
Name of generator please
The amount of wrong info here is crazy. Your alternator doesn’t spin faster it just puts more of a load on it. Motor rpm dictates the rpm of the alternator. Also u keep saying watts and a lot of the time u mean watt hrs. The amount of things you said wrong makes this video completely useless. No offence but this will steer people wrong if they listen to this at all.
Very to the point and I got the info I needed
I’m confused, at about the 5:20 mark, are you saying that engine RPM is controlled by the needs of the alternator output? Its engine RPM that’s the main factor in fuel usage and the alternator doesn’t have variable resistance that could cause the engine to work harder to maintain speed.
Awesome video, very helpful and educational . Thank you 😊
Watched in late 2024. Excellent video that really helps me figure out exactly where I want to go with a portable pack for camping.
Don’t try to cram too much into a video by talking quick and not covering all features or mentioning the unit with a feature.
I wanna power my wet vac what do I need for that
How many Zambians are watching this
I bought a 600 watt microwave off Amazon and it works great for our camping needs. I have a 1000w EBL power station and it provides adequate power for it.
the end made it seem like an act of guerilla solar charging with the skedaddle 😂😂 really informative, thanks for the video!
Hi! Can you help me please? I have an electric balloon pump. 700W. I bought 2 portable power packs and sent them back because they didn’t work. It said 600W surge, but had 2 outlets. I think they may have been 300W each. I plugged in a 600W pump and it didn’t work. If I buy a 1000W with two plugs, I’m thinking that’s till won’t work. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, but I want to know what I need for a 700W balloon pump. TIA
I need one for backup for Cpap during power outages , what size will last for hours of sleep.
