Thanks for watching, let me know what you think of the unit
Oh i since i have multiple little kids and little bicycles, was drafting up a design to brace and lash them together, probably use the yard swing as parts it's sturdy tube pipe, so a small tent could be mounted to haul them out on if need be. Kinda like a big baby pull behind buggy. All the weight would be on their own tires, my spare chain could be rigged with my small cc chainsaw or weedeater, just got to figure a trigger system. Could just use a weed eater line or i could reach back with one hand to hold the trigger to go. I live in southern Appalachian mountains so i need the extra umf to climb if i was hauling them behind my 18 speed bicycle.
What do you think for a bug out type is gas is gone. My chainsaw and weed eater can run on 3 year old gas, i know this cause its been 3 years since i filled up their gas can.
What a monster !! I'd Love to have one, plus add-on battery and solar panels, but $7000 is way out of my disposable/luxury budget. Our gas and dual fuel generators will have to do for now. Thanks for not labeling these power banks as 'generators'. So many do now, and it's deceptive.
If bundled with solar I can see this as a generator as power is being generated, but agreed it is definitely expensive
Going on three half days of sun in the last 79 days.
My solar panels that produce more power than I need in the summer have created 1% of power in two months.
No one in my area touches home wind generators for alternate source.
@@relicpathfinder2800 Good point. Quite a few folks buy into solar expecting year round performance and it just isn't so due to location and seasonal weather.
I went with the Anker 760 (2048 Wh). Powers my 350 sqft cabin and was less than $2500 a year ago for generator, cables, panels. Very rarely do I need to fire up the inverter generator, usually on snow days (we're up 7000 ft+ in the mountains). They are generators, generated by the sun and not fossil fuels, but whatever. Bottom line is that I have one of each: solar generator and gasoline inverter generator.
It sounds great. Wish I could afford one.
They’re not cheap
You have to spend a small fortune on this and then the solar panels. Geeze! 😢
While it may not be an absolute requirement for every home, please consider having a transfer switch installed in your home. It will give you the flexibility to use either solar or gas powered generator, safely. For daily use though, solar generator is the way to go. Saves me 30% off my monthly electric bills.
I went with Anker, though I bought the 760 (2048WH). My break-over point was that Anker was much, much quieter than the competition. In a 350 sq.ft. cabin, quiet is the name of the game. Like you, my intro into Anker was through the little glove box sized phone chargers. My Anker doesn't wake even my pit bull in the middle of the night, charges quickly, easy to move around. Good company.
If you can afford it go for it. 7 grand is alot of money. Im not trying to run my whole house just the important things which you can do for more than 50% cheaper than this
Exactly, most will be fine with smaller for the outages
I still say get two 1000 watt power stations and a small quality quite inverter generator.
Should you need to evacuate you can easily take with you.
Yes! portability is not a plus for this unit
Thanks for another great informative video. I want to express how cool it is that your channel has grown so quickly and you've got people sending you things. I guess that's what happens when you have great content. Lol. Thanks again!
Thank you so much and for sticking around
14 hours doesn't last long enough for a true power outage in Northern territory... I think I'm still best with my gas generator. I'm also curious as to if the batteries last as long as they say when not in use for an extended period of time...
The system I got says you have to store the batteries in a semi controlled environment at 70%...so no extreme heat or cold storage at a starting point of 30% loss of max capability.
@@relicpathfinder2800 I'm in Canada.... still not sold on battery anything yet. How long have you had your unit, have you used it, and what climate do you live in?
I still say 1 of both is ideal, gas will work for most
Good video good Information still to costly foe me but looks like a good unit
Definitely good to know options
6:40 please show us a video on the solar power arrangements outside with this big unit.
I think I wish I had the cash to grab one of these now!
People lived without power, and everything else for many years! You need to be self sustaining! You need to know many things that have been completely lost in a lot of societies! Save seeds! Grow your own food get used to different power sources! We heat our home for free from the outside we heat the water from the outside granted yes we are on the grid for electricity but learn how to live without it. It’s been done before. I used to think preppers were crazy now I know that they are the exact opposite.!
It's an amazing mindset once you get past the BS others portray it as
@@PracticalPreparedness I totally agree!
Does this unit have a 30 amp power outlet for RV hook up?
Running 3000 watts steady, how long will one F3800 last?
How do you connect two 3800's together? Once this is done can you also add the additional batteries and run everything to power your home when the power is out? Thank you
Great video review, thank you! Can you help identify best solar panels to use with this unit besides the portable ones due to the limited 60V solar input? On some reviews I’ve seen they using the F3800 unit with 3 panels in parallel that are LG 365W each. 47.7VOC, 9.39Imp total of 28.17 amps potential using two 3 panel strings to connect of the F3800. Any thoughts if these will work?
So you tell me I need 3 of those inverters to run everything in my house. Or should I say generators? And yes, all those batteries would be nice. Because if there's a power outage, you need to build a run. Your power for until the power goes back in which might be a few days but that only gives it 2 and a 1/2 days with 3 generators at 6000 W make in 18000 W.
What should be eighty thousand watts of battery Then
A solar and lifepo4 battery backup system is not going to power AC units, a dryer, stove or oven. I installed a 12KWh system and would never think to try it. But it will power a fridge, countertop oven, microwave, lights, all of your computers, etc. I would recommend a minimum of 6KWh with a peak of 12KWh, but it's better to go higher. It's also better to get a 48V system as it puts less strain on your batteries. Your battery system wattage should be double your highest combined device wattage.
You can easily power a home (minus above appliances) for a couple of days without power. If you add solar panels you can go indefinitely. With a system like the one in this video you're going to have cables running all over the place unless you get a manual cutover switch and attach it to the MSP. It's not a novice project but it's completely doable with a little reading and some research.
A backup system is probably not worth it from an electric bill standpoint but it can give you some piece of mind if you get occasional outages or are worried about an event.
Not emp friendly
These are for people not affected by Bidenomics.
Very expensive when getting into this size of a unit
Are you retiring?
That’s a negative. Been a lot going on.
If SHTF even if it would last long enough to matter, You're not going to want to be the only idiots with the lights & home fires still burning with nearly 400 million crazed & half starving desperate people on the move, especially not in heavily populated areas. Like a big neon sign saying come eat me. I don't consider practical predaredness a simple power outage where we sit around candles in the living room for an evening playing board games, eating smores🤦If a solar flare or emp attack takes out the grid this expensive gimmick is junk too!! and even if it survives, It's big its heavy, how are you going to recharge it? it's the opposite of Practical, other than replacing 60 bucks worth of oil lamps or candles with several thousand dollars of techno gimmick.
No, this won't power your entire home, especially in a safe and reliable manner. This cheap Chinese made high frequency unit isn't even UL-1741 safety listed! And if you think you can charge your EV with this unit, you had better think again. Because this unit doesn't have an iron core, copper wound output isolation transformer, to provide galvanic isolation between the DC side and AC output, all it would take is for the AC output monitoring circuitry to fail and one of the MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground, and these cheap high frequency inverters can send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your EV's onboard charger which will not only damage the charger but can also set your onboard charger on fire.
Learn to live without power. SHTF, cellphone, internet won't be working anyway.
Should be considered a luxury for sure
Cost too much more than a generator and with a generator there’s no need to find external power to produce power. Too expensive.
I can afford $100.00
The biggest no, it's not. And when you get the Delta pro ultra, you Got that a c eight hundred eighteen nine hundred which a c eight 1000 W generator the 18 internet is a 9000 more generated. I can take up to 16 batteries. I'm like AC 800 I took up for 4 batteries. And they are all electric generators.
O, if you're not living in a box and holding a gyou, know that already.
Especially for how late you made this video from what they're named their videos months before you did.
BS
Thanks for adding?
Few more years for
solar research and development.
Reliable dependable every time.
Frig freezer, med devices, etc...
🫱. Also when the price comes down.
