- When you need to do more than charge your mobile device batteries and some basic lighting or fans, you know you're going to need more than 500W. And if you need to power appliances that heat things, you're probably going to need more than 1000W! So let's take a close look at the new Campower 2000 Power Station from AceVolt. A massive 2000 watts of power for just about anything you might need to power on the go...AND one of the best price points I've seen on something with this kind of capacity with their current special pricing.

Lots of nice features and a huge plus of having the best battery chemistry. A little expensive considering you can get a Bluetti AC200P for $1299 until the end of July. That unit has a really large brick charger that takes about 5 hours to charge though. Everyone should be building the chargers into the main units. With the $200 off code though, this unit is very balanced with lots of DC and AC ports. Great review!
Thanks for the advice on re heating pizza in the air fryer. The best
that was a really good review. I was looking for something like that.
I would recommend checking out the 2000W version of this from FF Power or from Oukitel. Seems that AceVolt only sells thru their website now and no longer through Amazon. So my confidence in this company is not at high.
Nice review thank you so much . 😊
I have the vdl 2000,and it looks identical to this one, also so does the aferiy,I think whoever makes these sell them out to different companies who badge them as their own.
Theyre made by SYD power. SYD power makes products for Acevolt, Oukitel, FF Power, Ecoplay, VDL, and many others.
While enjoying your reviews, I'm your exception viewer while mostly not interested on the camping/traveling side and just hoping to find a solar power station that would work the best to power an "work from office" setup with multiple desktops/monitors and occasional emergency home power outages. This unit seems to have a great solar charge time, half of a VTOMAN 1800 unit that you've also reviewed. It's just so tuff to beat the VTOMAN price......
yeah it's a solid unit...both are, really. In your case, you need something that can take enough solar input to fully recharge in a normal day of sun - so I don't think the VTOMAN line is a great fit for you. I think you'd be better off spending a little more to get something where you can add some solar if necessary and recharge even when conditions aren't ideal. For that, you might want to look at something like the Pecron E2000LFP: bit.ly/3Xo2rgl or EcoFlow Delta Max : bit.ly/3IbAnbR Both are capacity expandable. The Delta Max is a bit more expensive, but does have App support and a longer warranty. Hope that helps! :)
@@ReeWrayOutdoors I really appreciate your reply. Yes, it seems that VTOMAN will be taking off the list due to the slow solar charging and will definitely looking at your suggestions. Would you consider Anker Powerhouse 767 be a good choice as well?
Good review. I’m looking to possibly get a unit similar to this for use in a power outage. Anything that can power my refrigerator.
I wish I could get one but on limited budget.
I watch your channel and am a subscriber. I recently moved to Hawaii and discovered there are annual power outages. I am specifically looking for a solar power station like the Campower 2000 to power my standard Whirlpool 6.5 amp 115 v single door refrigerator and freezer (no ice maker) during extended outages. My primary problem is that Amazon will not deliver a power station to Hawaii, so I need either the manufacturer or another source. First question is do I need a 2000 W power station or could I accomplish goal with a smaller size (1500? 1000?). I liked your review on the Campower 2000 but also have like other reviews so unsure which unit would serve my purposes best. Second question would be which solar panels would pair the best for what I need (land of eternal sunshine here). Thanks in advance -jeff
So you can't charge it both with solar panels through Anderson connector and also while driving with the alternator? that is the good thing about old jackerys, no manual switch, it would automatically switch from solar panels when not driving to the alternator while driving, this wouldn't work for me if I can't charge it while driving
Nice review. This unit is basically an Oukitel P2001 or an Ffpower P2001 unit. The only difference is the name printed on the front. Also the carry handles are a different color.
yeah, I think you're right about that! I actually just had an offer to review the Oukitel P2001 and it clearly appears to be a re-branded version of the Campower 2000. I passed on the review though as a result. I guess it comes down to warranty and price on some of these units since it does seem like there is no shortage of products that are just rebranded versions of other products.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors I think you will find the Oukitel was the original. Composer is the copy.
I wasn't suggesting that the Oukitel version wasn't on the market first, but I'm fairly certain all of these are re-branded from a wholesale mfg.
Have you ever done a review on nature's generator
You really do a great job on these reviews, thank you! Question: Once you buy a power station, is it better to use it regularly, like at least once a week, or is it okay to not use them for months at a time and just have them around for emergencies? Does it have any impact on the battery life to not use and charge it regularly?
Thanks so much for the kind words! All of these power stations do list recommendations about that in their manuals. The typical recommendation I see is to charge up the power station about once every 3 months or so when you're not using it. In my experience, all of these will hold their charge states extremely well over a long period of time (which is great for emergencies), so I'd guess that at 3 months of shelf time, you'd still over 90% charge. I also see a lot of statements saying that for optimum battery life, you should only store them at about 50-80% capacity for long-term - which may be true, but if you're intention is have power for emergencies, I think you should prioritize that and just top it off every 3 or 4 months or so (which is what the MFG's recommend anyway) and I doubt it'd make a significant impact on battery life in the long run. Heat and Charge/Discharge Cycles are going to pretty much always have a more significant impact on battery life for Li-Ion or LiFePo4 batteries than just about anything else. I hope that helps!
@@ReeWrayOutdoors Thank you!!!
Ive been on the hunt for a power station for my work car, to power things like power tools and equipment without packing a generator. I don’t own a truck and do all my work from a honda accord 99 something flexible is preferable.
Can anyone with experience using this unit tell me if they can leave the Anderson solar charging cable plugged in all the time? In the morning,with the unit off, when it’s starting to get day light,does it CLICK until you physical turn on the power button for it to start charging? And in the late afternoon when there’s not enough light to charge,it BEEPS and CLICKS until you unplug the charging cable. I have an Oukitel P2001 version of the solar power station and that’s what it does if I leave the Anderson solar charging cable plugged in. Thank you.
I've seen you comment about your Google spreadsheet to help us determine how much power we will be using. Like 1 fridge, 2 cell phones, 3 of something else etc. This then tells us the usage we are trying to support and then we can size our units/needs. I've never been able to find a like to your Google sheet. Please share
I'm planning a kind of 'Power Station buyer's guide" video in the next month I'll be sure and reformat the XLS for Google Sheets and share that in the description for that video when it goes live! Thanks! :)
Can you possibly point me to the correct solar panels to use with this unit? I would prefer to get two panels for it, but I don’t know what to use.
I think if you're starting with no solar panels, I'd seriously look at a couple of 200W panels. If you need portable/foldable panels, I'd take a look at the AllPowers 200W: th-cam.com/video/EVVJAwAov0E/w-d-xo.html If you don't need the portability, a couple of rigid 200W panels would be a great option and can remain outside pretty much indefinitely. BougeRV has a really nice 200W panel at a pretty competitive price: th-cam.com/video/1CvbaAjJcHw/w-d-xo.html There are links in the descriptions for these panels in the video descriptions if you want to check them out.
Did they send you this for the review?
Hi Mike. Yes this was sent to me as a review unit from AceVolt. I do unsponsored reviews whenever I'm able to - and I try to take care to make that clear, one way or the other (in this video, I used the 'Sponsored' tag to indicate that at the beginning of the video) - but on large-ticket items like these power stations, I just don't have the financial resources to personally buy multiple models for review purposes (though I did buy the original Jackery 1000 with my own money). That said, I do always try to represent my experiences with these products fairly and accurately, and I frequently turn-down offers to review things that I suspect are junk products (although, there are a couple of reviews coming that aren't going to be super positive, to the disappointment of brands that sent them to me, I'm sure. :P But the truth is the truth...)
@@ReeWrayOutdoors at least you are “honest” I just bought the Jackery 2000 Sport Pro with 2 panels, going to put it to the test in northern Maine in a couple weeks.
Does this have pass through charging?
Yes, both AC and DC
Have you tried the Anker 757 which at 1500 Watts AC and $200 cheaper is very close?
It is $200 cheaper, also 500 watts less power. I would say that makes this a better bargain. When I purchased my first power station I had 2 choices and I purchase the cheaper of the two, which, was smaller. I have second-guessed myself 100 times thinking I should’ve spent the difference and purchased the larger one.
Is this the same unit as the FF Power Station?
I think so. I think I've also seen it under a couple of different brand labels as well, like Oukitel and most recently one called 'GOKKCL' (they clearly need some marketing help!! haha). There seems to be differences in the color and top-handle configurations, but the port configurations are virtually identical as far as I can tell.
Is this your #1 pick for a 2000W station? I just saw a review on bluetti that looked good.
I haven't tried the Bluetti, but looking at the specs and current price, I'd say it would be an excellent choice. And there's no denying that the Bluetti brand is more 'established' so there's a confidence factor there that should be worth something. :)
Will this run 5000 BTU air conditioning unit
From what I can find, a typical 5000 BTU AC unit will have a continuous draw of between 417-625W depending on the setting - and they typically have a start-up spike draw of about 1200-1500 watts. So yes, this power station could run an air conditioner of that size...but, you'd only get about 3.5 hours of continuous operation out of it, realistically.
what is the exact AC Voltage? 110 or 120 volts?
.??
I just tested the AC out with a multimeter and it was showing a stable 110.8 volts. The specs in the manual just say "100-120V' and it's capable of running at 50/60Hz, but comes set at 60Hz by default for US customers.
why pay so mush money and the battery's can't changed?
Really? 3500 life cycles then reduced to 80% After 10 years of battery use, it will still operate. You get a inverter, mttp charge controller, built in 1100 watt charger. I think you need to watch more videos on lithium iron phosphate batteries
they absolutely can be. Very easy to take apart.
