    AT LAST! I’ve been researching for a long time as to how to combine the solar and alternator outputs simultaneously specifically for power stations. Most devices prioritise completely one or the other input and then output algorithms for lithium/agm etc batteries.

    👍 Nice job, thanks. These will sell a ton. The thing about the Back Charge capability of the Ecoflow is you can bypass buying a MPPT charger and peripherals for an external battery bank by using Back Charge while the Power Station is connected to solar panels and directly pump that power through. Saves having an ugly "spaghetti" setup on a board or wall. Same with an existing battery bank set-up when there is no sun. More companies need to follow suit to bring prices down.

    Great, another product to buy! This one fits nicely between the Pecron and the EcoFlow and the efficiency is pretty good for the price. Now, if only one of these companies (or maybe some others as well) would make that all in one voltage reducer for hooking up a solar panel or array with a higher voltage (70 VDC to 250 VDC) to either a 28 VDC output or 56 VDC output to fit pretty much any solar generator on the market. Great review as always and thanks for reviewing!

    If the automobile is equipped with a high output alternator, say 240 amp or so, it looks possible that running a second line (parallel) from the battery/alternator would provide 13.4x20=268 watts of additional charging on the solar line, so total could be as high as 500+268=768 watts of charging with automobile alone. And then, if one wanted to get closer to the 1000 watt limit, find a 20 amp boost converter that boosts the second line up to a higher voltage of 24 volts. This may have an efficiency cost in the boost converter, and heat dissipation would need to be designed in.

    Great video, very thorough and informative. I own a pair of Anker 767 Powerhouse (now renamed to the Anker Solix F2000 I believe), and this product appears to be a perfect fit for the 1000 watt maximum solar input on my power stations. I also just purchased two WattCycle 300 AmpHour LiFePo mini batteries, so I'll need to buy a DC to DC drop down converter, or use an appropriately sized MPPT charge controller, to use this device to charge those new batteries while driving down the road. I plan to install 5 to 6, 100 watt solar panels on the top of my truck lumber rack, which will complement the alternator charging with this device quite nicely. As I don't see any other devices that allow the dual input functionality of this device, it doesn't seem to make any sense waiting to buy this Etaker F1000, though I usually like to comparison shop before making a purchase.

    Great review as usual Jason. Very interesting product. Really wish they boosted the voltage to 60V as that's a common input limit for med/large power stations. Doing so would lower the current to about 17A, which better matches those same power stations typical MPPT current limit of 15A. Less current would result in less heat and better efficiency.
    Hopefully they update V2 with higher output voltage.

    This is a great product. I have a similar solution in my DIY camper van, but using a discrete LiFePo battery. I use the dual-input (solar+alternator) charger from Renogy. They have 30A and 50A versions. No fan needed, so they are silent. The added benefit is when your house battery is full, the Solar will trickle charge your car’s starter battery. That is great for RVs that might be parked unused for extended periods. Do you have a review on the dual-input Renogy chargers? If not, you should do one. There is one other solution I’ve seen. My daughter has a power station from Jackery that has two inputs for charging. Solar is attached to one, and the other goes to her cigarette lighter socket. But it isn’t very fast. Maybe some of the other brands also have dual-input built in. Anyway, good video and a great product review.

      I have a Kisae DMT 1250 DC to DC dual input battery charger meant for car charging with solar input. It's an AWESOME battery charger but... Those DC to DC chargers don't work well for power stations since they output 14v for a battery, you need high voltage to charge a power station quickly. That's why these converters designed for power stations work so well. 42v will allow much faster charging than 14v.

    Very solid review of a very useful device. Personally, I have no need for it, due to just using 12v LiFePO4 for car camping, and my Kisae DMT-1230 which I found due to Jason's DMT-1250 review long ago, meets my needs well. It doesn't combine car and solar inputs, just switches between them depending upon whether the car is on. Its output can be set to 5, 10, 20, or 30A. Basically, I got it to stop limping along using 100W out of the 10A fused car 12V lighter outlet.

    One thing to check is what gauge of wires are between the alternator and the battery also in older Ford campers ie my old 74 Ford inside the regulator was a wire that was only 18 gauge and when pulling a lot of power like when you killed the battery or when you boosted another vehicle it would burn off I bought a few new alternator and regulator before I talked to an old Ford mechanic who told me about the
    Problem and the next time it went I replaced the wire with a larger one and no more problems GMC had a fusible link that would do the same mechanics would change the link a 10 dollar fix and change the alternator and regulator around a 300 dollar bill and all it needed was the fusible link started buying the link from my GMC dealer and saved a lot of money so if you put one of these on your vehicle and your charging system dies don't just go to the repair shop get the components checked out and when you find the problem fix it since it's hard find a good mechanic so far all the mechanics I've found the fixes have been just being in the right place at the right time

    Jason, one thing to add to your list of uses for these type of devices is to run/charge power stations from a EV vehicle. Lots of stuff online where one hooks this up to their EV 12 volt battery and the inverter/charger in the EV is used to charge the power station. Most EV inverter chargers have a much higher output than a typical combustion engine alternator.

    Both inputs should be rated up to 60V in my opinion, idk if anyone noticed but the Auto industry really should be switching over to 48V systems, home storage/inverter setups really shouldn't be using anything less than 48V, and it would be nice if the solar input could match what most power stations handle so you have the ability to swap your setups around without having to reconfigure your array. Other than those 2 things this looks awesome, especially for those with power stations that only have a single input 👍
    I'm hoping EcoFlow is paying attention and adds some features/inputs like this for the "XT60 version" of their car charger (which btw during the labor day sales I saw as low as $199 with coupons).

      Solar voltage range is 12-48 volts.
      Using a larger wire will keep you from getting any voltage drop. That's the only downside is the stock wiring is a little undersized. When wiring my truck I went from the engine bay, down under the truck along the frame and then up through the back via the tail light mounting holes. It's worked well and wasn't too difficult.

    I have an Oupes Mega 2 power station and Oupes B2 extra battery. The combo has a total of 4096wh. Each has max solar input of 15amps, 12-150vdc, 2100w.
    Is the Etaker adjustable to 15 amps output? Thanks.

      The main benefit of this product is allowing two input sources at the same time. Just keep in mind in order to take advantage of all that power, your power station will need to support up to 20 amps DC input. Most will be around 10 to 15 amps.

      It all depends what you are wanting to accomplish. The Etaker is more affordable and allows for dual inputs.

The Bluetti has both high and low voltage output so it's compatible with more power stations, small and large models.

      Take a look at the Kisae DMT-2430. While it doesn't combine car + solar, it switches between them as the car goes on/off. The nominal 24V output can be set to various standard or custom voltages, including a setting of 29.2v which is the max recommended for LiFePO4 24v batteries, but would also be great for a power station input limited to 31v max. You can choose between 5, 10, 20, and 30A output.

    • @Jasonoid
      @Jasonoid  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Boosting the voltage won't give you any additional power. If you put the numbers into the power equation (Volts X amps = wattage) you just swap voltage for amperage. Volts go up, amps come down. The reason you need to boost a 12v battery to get high power is because power stations can't take high amperage. In order to get 500w at 12v, it requires ~40 amps. Power stations limit power to around 8 amps @ 12v. Thats why these boost converters are useful.
      For your solar panel, power will be 20v @ 10 amps = 200w if tried to boost it up, you'd lose more power through conversion losses than just connecting up the solar panel on its own.

    Can you drive and charge at the same time? This may impact your car's performance and could damage the alternator. Some Ford trucks come with dual alternators specifically for this purpose. Remember, the car's generator is essential for the ignition system, and putting too much pressure on it is not advisable. Typically, the generator provides 12 volts and 60 amps.

    • @Jasonoid

      Alternators provide the most power above 2000 rpms while driving so it's best to use it while driving. For a small car ae this to the 300w setting. If you have a truck or SUV, set this to the 500w setting.
