Portable Power Breakthrough? SOLID STATE Solar Generator from Yoshino

It delivers 4kw of output from a 2611Wh battery, and with their solar panels you get a solar charging up to 600w. This is clearly going to steal some market share from the emerging solar generator market.

To address the "NOT SOLID STATE" comments - I have reached out to Yoshino.. Video update coming soon.

[ThreeDigitIQ]

This video deserves a follow-up and at least a title change now that Yoshino has been exposed for falsely claiming "SOLID STATE"

[jameshoiby]

This is the first solid state battery I've seen available on the retail market. Let's hope this is a sign the floodgates are opening soon!

[AnIdiotwithaSubaru]

that power density is pretty amazing tbh. I can't wait to see where these batteries go in the next few years

[AcuraAddicted]

2600W of capacity in this small formfactor is insane!

[Grazell]

Thanks for testing the auto-on feature! This device needs the ability to reactivate AC after restarting.

I saw your ad minutes ago while watching a YouTube video of investors buying up single homes to turn around for rental properties. I immediately went to the Yoshino website. Then I searched YouTube to get reviews and your YouTube video was second in line. I chose to watch yours first. My main concern for buying a power generator was for solar charging, weight, cost, quality. I also loved how this has more than enough inputs for all my present needs and future needs. I am not a homeowner, but have equipment of various sorts I want to use if outdoors or whenever power goes out. Thanks for sharing via YouTube. Thanks for reading my comments. Smiles

I like you bring up the concerns of having grid powered solar, and then the grid going down. That's my whole point of wanting solar is for the grid going down. Thanks for bringing up this point, I think it is important when people are thinking about solar systems, grid tie in's, the grid using their power etc. Sometimes a stand alone system is best.

Really like this option. I can accept the 2500 charge limitation over traditional LFP battery chemistry; but the 600W solar max input is a deal breaker. So very close Yoshino, but gonna pass. Thanks for the review.

Like LifePo, anode development took time to mature. Today, LifePo batteries are 300AH and are happy being charged with a continuous 90 Amps, and a Max Amp rating of 400 Amps.
Not many Charge Controllers or BMS are capable for Amp Hungry batteries.
Maybe, Anode development for Solid State batteries will improve to the level of the LifePo's.

I have some EcoFlow & Bluetti units which I absolutely love. I have been looking to add a small portable power station to add to my family & was looking at a Jackery. I had previously only been considering Anker, Jackery, EcoFlow & Bluetti units but came across Yoshino which seems like one of the newer players in this segment.

While functionality & performance are the most important thing the Yoshino industrial designers seem to be at the top of their game. Their units are really aesthetic & slick looking. Again, performance matters most of course & luckily it appears that the Yoshino units perform very well according to the reviews I’ve checked out.

Anyway glad I stumbled across your channel. I’m delving into a lot of reviews before I make my choice. I was about to click “order” on a Jackery unit tonight before I stopped myself & decided to look at other units. I love Bluetti & EcoFlow but wanted to try another brand for a smaller portable power station so I’m choosing between Jackery & Yoshino. Haven’t decide but your review should help. Cheers!🙂👍

It my be my VPN not letting me connect to your links but wanted to reach out just so you know that they aren’t working for me. Great video! Informative, straight to the point and NOT annoying.

Interesting product, and the weight savings is very impressive. I have book marked their website and may try one of the smaller ones first. As a side note on your WiFi router, I have mine running on an EB3A ($209) which makes a great UPS, and it runs my WiFi router for about 12 hours by itself. I hope Yoshino adds AC bridging so that two could output 240 split phase. I'd by a set to run my 6KW well pump as no one else (EcoFlow or Bluetti) makes anything that weighs less than about 240 pounds, which can act as a UPS for big split phase loads. Thanks for the review!

[Just_An_Idea_For_Consideration]

Please explain the safety of this solid state battery as compared to LiFePO4 chemistry? Is it safe from causing fires?

[theyclash]

Pretty cool, also pretty expensive at $3299 compared to lifepo4.

[leftblank]

if the AC was drawing 1050w during the sample, then getting the max 600w from solar upon connection isn't going to allow for the AC to restart immediately. it'd have to build up a buffer to cover the extra 450w

The YOSHINO is impressive, even though it costs over $3k & expansion batteries aren’t available. I hope SHOSHINO comes out with a higher capacity model and/or offers expansion batteries in the near future!

[Just_An_Idea_For_Consideration]

Please let us know if they fix the AC auto on after Solar charging gets above a threshold?

Also could you power the wifi router equipment from the DC ports, snd do the DC ports auto power on once solar is available, thus allowing you to remotely turn on the AC outlets.

[CBBnCO]

Shouldn't any of these units be able to full recharge via solar in a single day? Also, I've never heard of Yoshino before, reputable? And, if solid state technology is ready for prime time, then aren't we going to see units coming out soon from the established brands...or, does Yoshino hold some form of unique patent?

[SiMahDan]

Excellent capacity for a portable. Good for an off-grid cabin or an RV. But for the money, a permanent installation for home power would be more practicle.
