UPDATE: Looks like everything is working again with the coupon and code. Amazon did it infamous "seller substitute switcheroo" when RAVPower ran out of stock, and was sending folks to a 3rd party that of course didn't honor the coupon or discount code. Buyers please VERIFY you are purchasing from seller "RAVPower" and no other!

Great video Tom, I own several RAVPOWER products & all are rock solid. Going to use this one to power my 13 Mac-Book Pro, thanks for the discount code !!!

[clearwater]

Thank you hobotech for making this video. 😎

Have you seen the Ideaplay version of this yet? They added a display and include an adapter and car charging cable. Super nice.

[teneacoleman]

I'm super excited about this. I just got it directly from Rav Power for $158 on the black Friday sale! :-)

Wow, this really is basic but has more than I would ordinarily need. I started carrying power with me back in 2002 to a cabin built by me and some friends in the woods. You can get that idyllic image out of your head, it was a nice version of a kids fort. We used either candles, a lantern or headlamps for light. I bought a $10 12v dome light with integral button switch from an auto parts shop and installed it over the table we had with a wire running to the floor with some spade lugs on it. This was all planned to work with my existing power source, a 12v 7ah gel cell battery I would charge at home. We would all arrive in the evening where it was still light where we parked but ten minutes into the woods it was darker and the cabin interior would be about black. So by the time we has the wood stove going, cracked a beer and started thinking about dinner we would need headlamps to prepare it. So then, "click" I turned on the light and everyone could see what they were doing. It was amazingly better for everyone. It's funny but as more of an observer at meal times back then, I remember watching 2-3 people prepping dinner in a dark cabin, headlamps like searchlights sweeping a city-scape looking for... survivors of the machine wars or... whatever. But with an overhead incandescent light it was a warm "homey" feeling like a home in the wilderness.

Thank you! I got one in 2020 and feel that I got a great device for the money.

[kxtreme]

Absolutely brilliant! All types test done great! Thank you for the valuable information you provided

[shawnvines]

I was able to apply both the discount code and the amazon coupon for $199. Looking forward to playing with it on Wednesday.

Maybe run off the 110 plug for a compressor fridge if it needs to run only at night??
Thanks for the review HT.
The Star Trek clip is great!!!!

[morganflaherty]

dude love your name subscribe the instant I heard it I was in a bad mood because one of them that I had in the past not the one you're testing just broke on me and the way you introduced yourself brighten my day and made me less upset over my previous one breaking which was a 500, 000 one from Amazon

Do you know if there is a DC to DC adaptor where the ends fit the DC input port and output port? I recently bought a car fridge and since the rav power doesn't have a cigarette lighter port, I had to plug in to the AC output and you're right if I don't immediately press on the fridge control panel, there wasn't enough power to keep the AC output on. I'm trying to see if there is an adapter that I can plug to the DC output of the rav power and into the DC input of the fridge. Thanks!

[sages]

I bought one, but it keeps turning itself off while I'm trying to charge devices, why is this? Not detecting enough power draw to stay on?

[bapkurisu]

Thanks for the review.i bought 1 last week.and its cool.all true

[justabyker]

I see the outlets are slightly recessed; does that cause any issues with larger items (such as power brick) seating firmly?

[ravenknight_gaming]

Aww the discount code isn't working on Amazon.

[josephcarson]

I suggest you add a $20 buck boost DC/DC 10 amp converter to get a regulated 13.8v output. Bangood has one. Then this would be a much better unit.

[TechViewOpinions]

The secret lab is one of the best things of your channel. Keep up the good work!

[HOTOYS-]

Except for the 12v fridge that I have. It's a Unique 6 cu ft. with it's own cut off at 10.4v.

[teresahernandez]

Can I run a 12v mini fridge just off of a solar panel?
