I tested my S700 last night running my 2018 fossil gas furnace last night -5 Celsius with wind-chill -12 degrees. It ran for 4 hours AC mode but then AC mode turned itself off with aprox 58% remaining at 4 hours! That's disappointing considering that I'd hope to sleep through an over night power outage. I turned AC back on but within 40 minutes it ran down to 18% I had the charger plugged in for the entire test run. As it's not a quick charge capable battery chemistry, am not surprised that there was not much power use mitigation. I'm glad I have an EcoFlow 786WHr to rely on.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the S700. I have noticed with my unit that there is capacity leakage when not in you. Looses amount 5% per month.
@@Adventure8 Only after 3 weeks of use did I finally get a reading of 100% fully charged. Prior to that it was maximum 99% and draining by approx 1% every day or two.
It had 13% power out of the sealed box. When the S700 V2.0 hits 40% and dropping on the display, expect it to stop providing power soon! th-cam.com/video/xYsBt_Swt_M/w-d-xo.html The good news is that it has battery management systems (BMS) to prevent deep discharge in that heavy usage scenario, so the display has power and claims it has 0% but you now know that you must charge it up soon. If you don't charge it soon, it may actually reach deep discharge state over a few days and may be useless / no longer able to charge up. Perhaps by 2025, new solid-state batteries for these home use products will be readily available, smaller size / same weight but a much greater run time :)
