I love the Oupes 1200, I also have two Oupes 600's. They are very well priced compared to others. I am currently without power company power and I am doing just fine. I use the Oupes to run my equipment and only use the 2000 watt duel fuel inverter generator to charge my Oupes. I have no problem running my equipment during the night with the Oupes. I had a problem with the Oupes and the customer service was excellent, the customer service paid for return shipping and shipped out a replacement as soon as they received the unit! It took a week at no cost to me.
@DeanFromTexas ... Thank you. By the way, the two American flags in our office are printed on one side. We have a request in with the manufacturer to send us double sided flags so the stars are on the top left where they belong when hung vertically.
@Danny ... @DeanFromTexas has a legit point. Also, that flag isn't dirty, it came as a distressed pattern by design. We have pretty thick skin and can tolerate pretty much anything except threats and personal attacks. We appreciate all y'all following our channel while we work out the kinks under new ownership.
@@SurvivalDispatch Thank you for explaining that sir. When I first saw it, I thought - there's no WAY these guys (ESPECIALLY these guys) would hang the American Flag incorrectly - so THANK YOU for the clarification. And just for the record, I meant absolutely no disrespect, or bad attitude in my post, I really enjoyed your video - as I do ALL of them, this was merely constructive criticism, Brother to Brother.
@@oscarinacan Not trolling at all... I wasn't intentionally attempting to instigate any conflict or argument... merely pointing the issue out. I would want the same pointed out to me.
I’d be interested to know which ones recharge the fastest. While it’s great that a device will put out X watts, recharge time is critical. Either via solar or using a gas generator (AC)
@Barry Burtenshaw ... That information is included in the review on our website, as well as the Excel spreadsheet that you can download too. survivaldispatch.com/best-in-class-power-stations-power-banks/
@Sajah B ... His last video was published a week ago today. His next video will be published in less than an hour. His videos are always posted on Sundays, with the exception of Shorts which could be any day of the week.
@Mark H ... That entirely depends on the load you put on the device. It's fairly easy to figure out using a calculator like this one ... www.referencedesigner.com/cal/battery_life_watt_hour_56.php. We're not electrical engineers, but as a general rule of thumb, if you max out a power station with devices pulling 120v AC, the battery will run for approximately an hour. That's based on figuring out the amp draw by dividing the battery's Wh by 120v AC, then inputting the Wh, amps and voltage into a calculator like the one we linked to above. Most of these devices tell you how much time is left based on the current load and battery charge, which is pretty handy if you're trying to conserve power. As we also mentioned in the video, the Crave PowerPack lasted three days charging half a dozen people's phones. Anecdotal, but still gives you an idea. The OUPES 1200 was recently used by one of our testers to keep his lawn care equipment charged up. In one day he did several apartment complexes over an eight hour period, kept his Milwaukee edger and blowers charged up, and he went from 100% charge to 70% over the course of the day. He also charged his phone several times that day. Another anecdotal example, but still gives some perspective.
I currently have the Oupes 600 and it will run my portable fridge and freezer and a 12 volt fan over night for 10 1/2 hours only using 20% of charge. It's not that expensive too.

@mr Spin … Thank you for contributing!
Use USB powered fans. Or you won`t be running a fan very long in emergencies. Plus they can be directly powered from solar.
Thanks,I was looking into the ecoflow at home .
@so steve ... We especially like the EcoFlow smartphone app. It's not overly complicated but gives you valuable information.
@@SurvivalDispatch many thanks,I appreciate the informative feedback
Excellent video (But your American Flag is hanging backwards- Blue field and Stars to the upper left)

They are just batteries, not power station or power bank, just fancy terms for battery pack
Batteries with everything added needed for no grid power. Don`t be ridiculous.
Where’s Jason been?

Ok, these things run but for how long??

@@SurvivalDispatch Thank you for the information.
Learn basic electronic/battery usage formulas. Then use that and the specifications of the system and the device used to figure that out.
