Just a tip, keep your texts for more than 2 seconds in your video, like 5 seconds for the full screen texts, so your viewers can actually read them ;)

Watched in late 2024. Excellent video that really helps me figure out exactly where I want to go with a portable pack for camping.

Awesome awesome video! I so appreciate all the detail provided in the video, and it’s causing me to reconsider my needs and the options that would work for me.

I tend to go into nature parks or camp grounds. I own 2 of these and they are perfect for what I need. A couple phones, a portable speaker, the occasional lap top.

When the power goes out, you don't care which one you have, you're just happy you have something.

Thank you for an awesome beginning intro for this newbie camper!

Just built a shed and don’t want to spend 1600 dollars to put in electric. Just need a way to charge batteries for power tools and a couple of solar lights. Really good info about what kind of battery to get for a shed that will get hot in the summer. Thanks.

Thanks for the spreadsheet and laying it all out!

You don't want to buy these for heating or microwaves. Get a camp stove or a Mr Heater Buddy or a kerosene heater for emergencies and use these generators for a TV and lights. If you run a heater or a microwave it will suck all the juice out of it and it will take half a day in pure sunlight to charge it back up!

I am a Ham Radio operator, so I bought the Grecell T300. So 300 watts, so not the biggest, but very portable. Plus the 110 volt plug uses a full sine wave inverter. I've been told this supplies cleaner power. I will have a solar panel for it, before next summer. My only complaint, and I've heard this from others who have bought Grecell's, is no covers for the plugs.

Wish I could have came across this video before exploring trying to find a power station for an electric heater. I've watced sooo many videos thus far and this one specifies what different types of packs are for. Good video thanks!! (:

This was so great! Thank you very much for all the research you did and for sharing the review!

Just the video I was looking for. Very informative. Thank You!

Very good intro video on the topic for me as I contemplate my options. Thanks.

The first thing to know about thee devices is that they are NOT generators, despite the terminology on some vendors' websites. Generators burn fuel and can be replenished in a minute or two when they run dry; these power stations are just big batteries that have to be recharged when they run down--which takes hours.

Thank you!! I’m looking to get a power bank and charge it with solar panels and I had no idea about the overload protection. You just saved me from some potentially annoying issue lol 🎉

[MrTyger]

Brilliant info, just about to buy a 2000watt power station, you are the only person to answer an ongoing which was charging 10% ten times = 1 cycle... Thank you😊

[olliejohnson]

Thanks so much for the much NEEDED Info you was so throughal and have such a Humble spirit God bless you 🦋🌼

1 Pass-through charging is a factor for me, being able to charge by solar whilst using the power station.
2 Also weight. Guys overlook this, saying 18kg is light, where women or older people find this too heavy when having to take it in and out of van/shed.
3 Length of charge cable is usually too short, so requires power supply to be taken outside for long periods, away from appliances and risking theft.

Best portable battery vid I've seen so far... and I've watched quite a few. Thanks!
