If you use it to power your refer, or freezer. Put a timer on it so it cycles every couple hours for 15 minutes. It will keep the food cold and the battery charge will last significantly longer.
Genius
What type of timer..im.comfjsed can u post a link to what ur talking about
@@sharriceowens913 , something like a “intermatic” plug in timer. You plug it in to the receptacle on the generator, then plug the fridge into the timer. That way, you can control when the fridge turns on.
Without a timer, your fridge will run constantly. With the timer, you can control when it runs.
Set the timer to turn on for 15 minutes, then off for 2 hours.
The fridge/freezer may not stay at an exact temp., but it will keep your food cold longer.
@@chrismullin8304 thank you I will look into it..also how do u know when the batteries are 50%discharged
Thank you for doing this video. I don't know anything about generators and want to get one. You talked nice and slow so I could follow what you were saying. lol In other words, it didn't sound like a foreign language. Very much appreciated. Much love and many blessings!
Thanks for this video Rudy, I had been thinking of solar generators lately, appreciate all you provide for the community.
Bought this about a month ago and had so much questions about doing just this. Your videos have been incredibly helpful and reassured in my head I chose the right generator for what I want to do.
I got the Duracell 660 from Costco for $500 and a Renogy 200 ah deep cycle AGM battery from Amazon for $350. 1 set of cables was $20. So $880 for the same 3.0kwh setup. Also, about discharging AGM batteries 100%, the unit shuts down after about 66% discharge when teh batteries hit 10 volts. You would have a to wait for them to self regen a bit, for the voltage to come back up, doing the whole "deep cycle" thing, to then turn it back on and discharge further. So it works like a fail safe. You can't just walk away and have them discharge 100%.
Fantastic video! I really got a lot out of this and purchased this unit for my Condo in New York!
🤠A big Thank You!
Being new to all the solar choices, this made something that has looked complicated, much easier!
I am very grateful You did this video, and the other Duracell one. It helped me tremendously!

🤠
Thank you so much for this video. I live in Puerto Rico and these portable solar generator's are not shipped here. I don't qualify for solar panels because I don't spend enough $$ on my light bill. There is a Costco here and thanks again for your help I'm going to buy one to keep my fridge happy. Thank you for your time.
This would be perfect to plug your freezer into to keep your precious food from being affected during a brown out. I think I’ll get one.
In the event of grid down having the 100 watt solar panel will at least keep the food cold. It will buy you time to get the food canned.
Also with led lights one of these will run many lights. Christmas strands will fill a small room with enough light to read by. Thanks Rudy
How do u know when it's 50% discharged
This would be great for me, as I live in an apt. and I can have it inside to take care of my freezer and fridge. I have plenty of lanterns and flashlights for lighting. I cook once a day so this would be great for a single older person like myself. Can we get it through you and or maybe at discount. I'm elderly anddisabled and have been worried about my back up power for years.
They have used units for $386.99 on Amazon.
Just love your videos and I like what you do and how you do it God bless you take care hope you have a good one be safe
Nice video! I had similar thoughts in December. I hunted for an available Uninterruptible Power supply (UPS) to use down here in Anchorage. Not in stock locally except in Costco. Amazon not delivering to private addresses in Anchorage. Found in Costco and bought one back in December. I bought a solar panel from Amazon so I can potentially recharge if the grid fails completely like what happened years ago when the wind storm hit. I am happy to hear that you also found Durecell's solution works.
Thank you Rudy my questions were answered.
Lots of detail and useful information. Thanks!
The first video that I ever watched of your, is the video you done on your other Duracell generator. It popped up in my suggestions and I thought it seemed interesting, so I watched it. I've been watching you ever since.
You’re good. Thanks for the very informative videos.
Wow I've been looking to invest in some of those , thanks for the review on it !!
This is the one i was planning on getting. Just don't have the funds yet. I have been watching this generator since last year.
I learned a lot from you today, will be getting mine soon
Thanks. I enjoy your informative videos. Great job!
That was a great and Honest review
Which solar panel would you buy for this unit? I would hate to buy the wrong kind. Many of your viewers are single women who are clueless and afraid of anything electoral. Thanks so much for all you do AP! I have shared your channel with many & most of them are older, single, women. 😊
I also want to know this ? Need to know what I need to buy to run this !!
Where do I find the batteries ?
The cables daisy chain ?
And solar panels what ones ?
Please respond
These guys assume we know these things so it's info they skip over. I just bought one today and have no clue how to put it all together. Lol sometimes they give us too much credit.
@@janetlynne8712 yep! And the directions are just crazy! If there are any that come with the unit. You have to look it up online and if the grid is down, you can’t do that!!! 😟
That's what I want in Alaska during the long short daylight hours and the power down for three days !!! JUST love green energy
New drinking game. Take a shot every time he says "Ladies and gentlemen"
Do that on the CBDC video. You'll be dead
I live in Texas & I bought 2 of these units from Costco online. I just received them in the mail. I took one out of the box. I could not find any of the cords or the owner’s manual & I was thinking about calling the company.
I did not know there was a storage unit on top of this thing. You did a fantastic video! You’ve already saved me the embarrassment of calling the company! I’m so excited to know about adding on extra batteries!!
If the grid went down & we really needed to use this setup in an emergency, how would we recharge the extra batteries? It already takes 10 hours to recharge the Duracell by Solar.
Thanks for the fantastic video!!!
not a chance:) kinda irritating. I must admit I could not finish the video due to hearing that
Thanks for making this type of videos, very informative!
Looks like you have 5 trolls now.. Thanks for posting this type of thing! I appreciate it. I have always relied on gas powered generators, but gasoline may not always be available. Plus they're noisy. I sure like the solar ones.
If you read this, if you havent already I think I saw where Duracell had a $500 dollar contest for sharing this unit on video
Oh good, been waiting for this video, thanks AP!!!
Love mine and just connected it tona solar panel on my garage and have 2 batteries daisy chained
I’m thinking about getting on to run my base Midland micro mobile base station. Or the Jackery 300
Hello Alaska Prepper and thank you for this video. I am looking for those brass connectors that you use to daisy chain the batteries. It is at about the 20:15 minute mark.They are threaded on one side and tapped on the other. My marine battery has two different size threaded terminals but I cannot find those brass connectors. I have tried searching on Google and Amazon. What are they called and where can I find them please? Thank you
Thank you I appreciate your review. Well done.
I bought mine today, brand new, in tha box, for $300 total! Pawn shop deal!
Thanks, AP for reviewing this product again! Could you also do one in the future on how to charge it from solar panels?
You literally just plug the wires from the panel into the back of the generator with the Anderson connector. It would be pointless to make an entire video about that because it's stupid easy. Not much different than plugging something into an outlet.
@@mitchellnelson6249 oooohhhhhh thats nice
OMG!! I just went to the duracell website. This is on sale with 100 off. I used Affirm to pay for it. I am so excited 😆😍 I am so 🙏🙏🙏8 Thank you AP!!!
I can't believe it. They shipped it already. I live off grid. My gas generator died a few days ago. The temp here has been like 3 degrees and I have been freezing. This thing will help me survive the rest of the winter.
@@oopsieeee good deal
great info Rudy
Thank you AP. This is certainly easy enough.
can you provide links to the batteries and cables you’ve bought?
I agree. Please provide a link.
Thanks brother! If you are tethering batteries.....you can use as much solar as you want as long as you are using a charge controller and hook it up to the tethered batteries and not the unit.
Great, informative video!
We actually had to use our FingerHut account. So the one we could get shipped here, california(this state sucks), is 3500 watt peak, gas generator. Its a pulsar. We had not enough cash, so had to pick from what they had left. They are SO REGULATED here that it is hard to get many good products shipped here.
We have the Bluetti ac200, but this device looks like a promising back up option. Very thorough review!
No it isnt. It uses a sealed lead acid battery, pwm controller, and is not a pure sine inverter. Stick with the bluettis.
Thank you! This was very useful to a noobie like me!
Thank you so much for this great video! Should I be worry of overcharging the battery since it's plugged in all the time? Thank you!
Man I really need one of these 😍
I’m so happy with this product I got mine for 400 at Costco
Thanks for this info! Wish I could afford even this one is $649 on Amazon. I live in Fl and am always concerned about having power after storms/ hurricanes. Don’t want to lose my frozen foods and I also care for animals so I need to be able to keep air flowing in their space. I never could understand solar until I started watching your videos! That is a great set up. I like that you can link as many batteries that you want ! Love your channel❤️
Watch will prowse David poz hobo tech and jehu garsea and you'll definitely be able to understand solar also watch some of the full time RVers and you'll better understand sealed lead acid batteries find their videos on the care of them I did and it's saved me a lot of money now if I can find a good entry level unit
They're 350 on amazon now
New subscriber here. Very helpful video. Thank you!
Do you havew a video on your Toyo? I like the solar generator.
I brought one for indoors emergency at night, hubby don't have to go out to start up our diesel generator.I opted the solar panel as our generator can power it back up should the grid go down for long.
Thanks, great review. God Bless, stay safe.
How long will that heater run off that generator when it's not plugged into the wall? How many solar panels does it take to charge this unit ? And how long does it take those solar panels to charge that up to full charge? I also saw a new type of solar panel that charges off ultraviolet light that can charge your system even on cloudy days . But I have not been able to get full details on them . Do you know anything about them
this thing would be good as a stationary or put on a cart for moveable power
I have the small propane tanks (green) like you use on small camp grills for heat and camp cooker. Would i be better to use this solar battery. My concerned that can I use the small propane canisters for my camp stove and small heater or is that dangerous for gases?
I see your inside vegetables. Could you cover your experiences at growing vegetables inside?
Very informative. TY
You're missing the 200amp fuse & the charger to be used for the dual 100amp additions. 10/10 though. I was thinking of using this for my computer but 8ms transfer-speed... maybe I need both a computer-ups & this portable power b/c 'ups-ready' might not be safe for sensitive-electronics, but IDK.
I would like to see you do another video on adding a battery or two on this and how to hook up a solar panal to this I bought one thru cost co for 499.00 pretty good one so far I like it runs my fridge for close to 5 hrs
Did you ever get a solar panel hooked up to it and extra batteries? I'm trying to figure out how to do this properly
I can't afford either of those generators.
I purchased 2 1500 watt inverters from Harbor Freight for $140, different times and got 20% off of that. 2 deep cycle batteries from WM for another $140. I already have a battery charger and if the power goes out, hook them up to the riding mower. 3000 watts for less than $500. Peace.
I found a used on on Amazon for $360.00. I don't know your budget but it's worth a look. If you're having trouble with the entire amount try looking at Affirm. They will let you pay it back over time. We all aren't rich. So I understand.
I saw one made by Kohler, yesterday.
Sounds like a great deal for the price
U just made my day.
Do you know you can run solar straight to the batteries. Use solar with charge controller and run to the back + and - or extra batteries and input more solar then 100w, that solar equalize the batteries and allow for more and faster charging. Needing a pure sine wave inverter can be attached to the extra batteries for devices needing it. So many things can be done with this unit from a company you can trust. Good videos, fine job fine job.
Question=great review. was not aware duracell made such a product. i have a 1500 bluetti that i use for emergencies and have 2 100 watt solar panels for charging but would like to add more storage watt hrs. But Charging timet seems to be a downfall for the duracell.
Could you charge the duracell from the bluetti if you had to do so? Assume it would draw 100 watts from the bluetti? or would that be a stupid idea?
My costco had display but no units . So i ordered a hysolis 1000 dollars 100 ah lithium battery 1000 watt inverter i think 1200 watt hours
Alaska Prepper! I can't thank you enough for this info. It's been heavy on my mind/heart that I need a solar generator. I've got a brain block and been saying for months I need a solar/generator for dummies course. I want to be able to power the fridge and separate upright freezer should power go out. If I daisy chain batteries do you think this will do what I need? I've been looking at things $1500-2000 fearing if I didn't get large enough it wouldn't do what I needed. I've been so confused and frustrated unsure of what to do.
As long as you have enough watts to power things
Lead acid batteries, even sealed lead acid batteries, work exactly the same. They can't output the rated watts for very long. Compared to lithium ion or lithium phosphate which will almost meet or even exceed their rated outputs. Lead acid batteries will only put out rated power for about 50% of the watt hours time before shutting down. They can only be discharged and recharged for about 50-100 cycles before going bad and they get weaker overtime, more so than Lithium which can be recharged minimum 500-2000 times depending on the type of cell. The Duracell takes 6-8 hours to recharge on AC. I bought the Ecoflow River Pro, it has 720 watt hour output, and can recharge from depleted to 100% in 1.6 hours on AC. It only weighs 16 lbs compared to nearly 60lbs. Lead acid is old tech for a emergency backup device. They probably cost the same. Don't waste your money or hurt your back on this device. I'm surprised they even sell it with all of the other lithium portable solar inverter backups available now.
I own the generator and thinking about adding a battery. How long it would take to charge with the 100w solar panel that allows. I'm prepping for hurricane season. Thank you!
Great video thanks AP
I saw this at Costco and they had a whole kit around it but I don't need the kit I would like to know if I could just switch out the battery inside with a Lithium-Ion battery that I have had for a year and also if I just want to connect the lithium battery to the outside because wouldn't want to fry the added battery
I have this unit as well as jackery solar panels. What connection do I need to make them compatible?
Do you think it is ok to over panel this? I would like to do 4 100 watt panels in parallel to make up for cloudy days.
Please show us where you put your solar panels and how you put them up. Thanks. 🇺🇸👍❤
You can go to the VanLife type videos they show stuff like that more than the prepper channels
Great Video, can you send the link to those specific batteries.
Just want to know if I do an upgrade to this Duracell generator and switched over the inverter to a pure sinewave inverter of the same value. And switch the AGM battery to a lithium battery of the same value. Would it work. Would it hurt to try. Lol just asking. It's been tempting me so.
Great review!! Will the Duracell then charge the batteries once plugged into it ? I know you can use solar or ac but does it charge external batteries?
Will this type of battery survive an emp? I have a couple items that I cannot take the battery out of. Will these batteries get spent with an emp or not? If not, should I get emp shield? And all the apt. Building power meters are together in the basement together, I would have to put the emp shield on that or can I put it on power panel in my apt.?
How do You hook up a solar panel to the duracell and with solar panel do I use this is so confusing 😪🤔 I can't find this info anywhere
Can you pull 12v from those battery terminals in the back without turning the unit on? I’d like to use this as a shed power source and want to run the sheds 12v lights.
pleasantries sir can you post a recommended replacement battery for this unit please? Thanks
I like the system but neither of us can lift 60 Lbs. 😲 Guess we'd need to get a dolly to carry them. Too bad it only has the capacity for one panel. 😞 Thanks for the video, AP.
Blessings. 💙
I saw a video...where u disconnect the daisy chain then hook them up separately to a charge controller and 3 or 4 hundred solar and charge them and reconnect to main battery....not hard I would think...charge main with 100 and the other at same time then just pair themup
@@jamesmays701 could you please share the video
We need a generator that will run a small window ac unit to keep one room liveable and keep my deep freezer frozen through a post hurricane power outtage. We wouldn't run the freezer & AC simultaneously but would run them in tandem to conserve power. We're generator novices, as in we know NOTHING about them. Any suggestions?
Do not buy this device thinking that it will run your window AC. An average 5000 BTU window AC, will pull about 500 watts of power when the compressor kicks in for the cooling cycle along with the fan. The Duracell is only rated for 660 running watts, the 1440 watt rating is for momentary surges. It will output 660 watts for one hour but because it is a Sealed Lead Acid battery, the run time will probably be much less than that. Once the battery is drained, you will have to find an AC power source to recharge it and then it would take up to 6 hours for a recharge. A solar panel will take even longer unless it's a huge one. An AC will often cycle on and off, so the compressor may not run the entire time but if you're experiencing 90 degree temps then you'll lose the backup right quick, about half an hour based on these watt ratings. You would be far better off buying a dual fuel propane/gas inverter generator. You would need a minimum 3000 watts to run a window AC, a freezer, fridge some led lights and a small TV to get you through days of lost power.
Awesome!
Have you have the generator plugged into the wall and the power goes out what automatically go into the generator mode
I can add a pure sine inverter on the battery itself with a fuse since the duracell is modified sine wave inverter and use the power off one of the batteries instead of the duracell for laptops or a tv?
Hey there, I have the same Duracell solar generator & also just recently got me a 200ah Renogy Lead Acid battery. My question though is if you rely only on solar power to recharge the generator & etc, how do you recharge the battery that connects to the rear generator's terminals? As the battery drains from constant usage, will the solar panel connected to the Duracell generator, begin to slowly charge the battery everyday as well during day time? Or will the solar panel just charge the generator alone? Thats the part where im confused
This is what I need to connect my battery to
Aprox how long would it take to charge this whole system on 100 watt solar panel.. I understand that the sun strength has a lot to do with it but just say full Alabama sun ?
Your right this did not sound like the one I am looking for but then your explanation as to all functions has me sold. Now I just our most popular POTUS ever to do what he said he would do, get these stimulus checks out.
Where do you buy the replacement battery. Can you give a link
Ap will an optima yellow top deep cycle gam 55amp hour battery work with this set up?
Can your other generator be used inside also?
The internal battery for the Duracell sounded cheaper than the other ones, is it possible to daisy chain multiple internal batteries, using them outside the unit? thanks for the info, power storage/generation is a costly tricky item for some of us, appreciate the help XD
CAN YOU PUT IN THE NEW LITHIUM BATTERY? or do you put in the original lead batt.?
Can you explain how to use it to run an 12000 ac inverter
It's not how much capacity it has when you bought it but after a year by now if you check out how much amps it still has my everstart booster was down to boost on a charge from 5 after 8 months I now charge it with a battery charger through the booster cables I caught it just in time after a few cycles its now back to full charge and will do 5 boost per charge I should get 5 to 8 years before I have to buy a new battery so watch your back up nothing worse than the power going out and your backup not backing up so keep a close eye on it or get a good battery charger that will charge sealed lead acid batteries to the proper charging parameters
If you want more than 100 watts of charging for the solar hook a different charge controller up to the daisy chained battery.
Can you explain that on a fifth grade level please
@@pegsol3834 plug a different charge controller to your second battery.
Great video
Can you still connect solar panels to the extra batteries to keep them and the unit chrged
We need solar!
