You know what really grinds my gears? When big companies like Anker uses kickstarter for market size and potential research purposes, while also getting funding for their own r&d of the thing they want to create, when they could simply afford it themselves, thus making smaller startups and creators much harder to find and value.
Even Philips has done it for some sleeping earphones, which I don't understand at all. Huge international company relying on kickstarter like some novice start-up, it kinda makes me wonder what's going on.
It's a relatively risk free version of market research, where you could also potentially get customers and funding for R&D, all for the low-low cost of setting up a kickstarter page with some rendered designs, as opposed to doing the market research in the old fashioned way which would be more costly and less indicative of real market penetration later on. Still, big companies doing this makes my stomach turn, and I hate that this has become business as usual.@@Tomazack
I do not understand your aversion to a company trying to reduce their risk? Putting it on kickstarter allows them to gauge if there is a market for this type of product and for the customer to know that they will get an actual product in the end. It is not the R&D (that has been done you see the product is already created) It is more how much they should invest in manufacturing at scale. How does this really impact smaller startups and creators?
There's an important figure that Jerry didn't mention - Runtime, aka "how long till the juice runs out". If the house is using 800W of power, and the battery has 3.8kWh of stored energy, that's a max runtime of only about 4 hours (You can see the remaining time on screen at about the 5:11 mark). Definitely something to keep in mind if you want to use this as a backup for any extended period of time. There are more cost-effective ways to do this with inverters and standalone batteries but the tradeoff is ease of installation. This setup certainly offers more portability - If you're going camping or need power elsewhere you can always lug this Anker unit along for the ride, though I expect that it weighs around 100 pounds or so.
Not to mention that they only had 200 slots available for the 45% off early bird special and they sold out within just over an hour of it being online.
That sounds like a great product! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is also a versatile and powerful backup power solution. It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and a durable waterproof design. It could definitely be a valuable tool for rural houses and outdoor adventures.
The system would be perfect, if the switch to the grid happens when the battery is under for e.g. 20%. So a even charge/discharge can happen. If the breaker could do this with a signal to the power station that would be really usefull.
@JerryRigEverything - You need to check the main neutral(grey insulated wire in the middle), I seen some charring, which normally means its loose and need an insulated Allen to tighten it up, Like ASAP!
solar inverter will turn off though when the grid goes down. research different frequency of backup solutions compared to the grid - and why inverters turn off when a standalone backup (can also be a diesel generator doesnt have to be a battery) is active. there are (expensive) solutions around this issue.
@@ChrisHolzerif he just runs the solar to the battery then it wont matter about the inverter. As the battery system wont accept more with a 100% load as it has an internal inverter. But i see 800 watts 3.5 hours hes going to need 2500 atleast to keep the battery charged but what about overnight he needs an extention battery of maybe 1-2 for a full night on backup
This is a truly fascinating thing. In combination with only a few solar panel there are no worry for electricity. Thumbs up for those videos. It's very helpful!
Cmon, Zack... You know US... We NEED more number on this thing.! As someone planning to move into a van, I dont wanna do the whole installation thing, I need me one of these massive power banks and just charge it at the gym or anywhere else...
This is very useful for a hurricane or any natural disaster for help your family to charge its devices even to keep using wifi without electricity, it’s very useful for that purposes.
around here there are a few ranchers using solar water pumps to day pump into a tank, then a much smaller pump to go from the tank to the house or other water needs.. that first 100' of lift vs 10' make a big difference in consumption it seems
I am surprised they do not just use a solar water pump to lift it to a tank that is elevated - thus storing that energy (You know like all municipalities do?) No smaller pump needed at that point. Let gravity be your pump.. I guess a ground level tank is cheaper and easier to deal with?
Zack you need to come to South Africa again. because of our load shedding there are massive amounts of people installing Solar solutions at homes and businesses. along wiht that there are many people who cant do pannels so are only doing inverters and batteries. to a point where the city I live in (Pretoria) announced today that there has been a 35% decrease in revenue from Electricity due to the amount of people doing Solar solutions. I think there would be a fair amount of content for you here that you could make quite a few videos on. plus we have seen your drone videos we know you love it here.
Hey Zach, huge follower of your stuff. I saw a blurb on their kickstarter about connecting to an existing solar panel system. Hoping you can have a video showing how to connect that to this battery so that I can add power to the Anker from those panels. Thanks
Last week you did complete PHD in apple iphone 15 pro. Now Sir I'm looking full case study for Pixal 8 And Pixal 8 Pro Too... I wish you never disappoint us🤛🏻
you should have an automatic transfer switch instead, then when the mains power goes down it automatically switches to the backup source. No flipping required. They use that in most larger buildings here in the UK and I'm sure its the same in teh US, just with different voltage and frequency but the same idea
this is dope and actually fairly reasonably priced. Would go perfect with my solar panels on the roof but I've yet to lose power in the 3 years in my house, but it sure is enticing tbh
? Large companies use Kickstarter to gauge the market and see how viable a product is. Manufacturing at scale is a risky endeavor and this allows them to reduce that risk.
Anker sure advertises like they are in company with the big dogs. These things *are not cheap* either. That'd much would buy a nice dual fuel inverter generator with a ton of money left for fuel and run a lot more amps than these roll around 'battery pack' with inverter.........not to mention time to recharge the behemoths.
@@avflyguy Generators require regular maintenance, and are only useful for outages. Plus a system like this if you have a good solar setup good power your house FOREVER compared to a generator which is 3 days realistically with fuel. As for the "run more amps" no clue why you would even mention that when the video shows 240v as well as pulling 6k watts with no issue ( with even a higher surge ~8,000 probably ) most generators top out at around this range anyway. Generators still are better for those on a budget (
You didn't mention if the transfer switch wires had the circuit numbers printed on them. I know last install you mentioned you had to take it apart to trace the wires. I'm assuming this time you saw the numbers on the wires?
City boys. Sheesh. Goats are awesome, Zach. 🐐Northing to be scared of. They might eat just about anything not nailed down though, and some that is. Bet they love apple season like ours do.
Nice video Jerry , the only question i have is about that cable that passes the attick , doesn't need (metallic) protection in case is overheating , i mean you have there wood and insulation.
I very much would like the option to use the transfer switch to use these larger capacity battery units to run a few things in the house if needed rather than running cords all over the house. Even if it only lasts a couple hours, it would be n firing up a loud gasoline generator.
Id want to know if this can be used as a UPS for your house with an automatic transfer switch. Itd be nice to have all essentials stay running in an outage without ever having to touch anything.
With 3.8 kWh it’s only going to run a few hours for a full house before giving up and can’t handle big loads like heating and cooling. If this simplifies a solar setup that would be nice, but I can’t recommend to the rural folks I know who need a longer lasting solution.
FYI, from what i can find out on this unit, it cannot be charged fromn the grid while in 240v mode, so if you plan to use it for battery backup for your house, it takes alot more manual effort than other solutions which can often switch automatically to battery when the power goes out, some solutions even switch fast enough that sensitive electronics like computers dont even shut off.
in germany we have 2 special contactors that automatically disconnect the house from the grid when the power goes out and switch to the battery to supply the house with 3 phase energy. Tesla Powerwall is kinda stupid because its just 1 phase emergency power (except if you buy 3 lol) but its enough to prevent your fridge from melting.
powerwall is built for american markets where everything is single phase. 3 phase power supplies adds a lot of complexisty particuarly in just syncing up those 3 sinusoids.
@@literallycanadian definitely built for america. Its just popular in europe because of the brand. But its kinda cool to install as an electrician because it mixes the american and european electricity system
My solution for these cases has always been battery backup. I use a set of 12 Volt 100 Ah marine batteries. They are Lead-acid batteries with carbon-reinforced electrodes, so that the formation of lead sulphate do not kill the batteries. I use a pure sine wave 6 KVA inverter and a separate 3 KW charger, which can accept power from the grid, from solar cells and a wind turbine. The inverter and the charger are much more robust than a power bank, and the marine batteries last typically for ten years of service, and never set off fires like the lithium batteries sometime do. For a big agricultural house, it is easy to convert the backup system from one phase to three phases while keeping the same batteries. Marine Lead Acid batteries are the way to go. Thank you for the great video! Regards from the UK, Anthony
worth noting, that LIFE batteries, as these ones are, are much less likely to burn and combust into fire. You can find various videos about this on youtube these batteries are practically rocks compared to lipo batteries. Im sure you could get them to burn if you really tried but im also certain that the acid inside those batteries is not particularly healthy for one either. It's also worth considering that lead acid batteries tend to produce hydrogen when charging, which isnt a problem with sealed batteries but there are always concerns.
Lithium iron phosphate batteries are so cheap now that it's becoming the clear choice considering lifespan and power density over lead acid. You can get 100 amp hour LFP batteries for nearly the same cost as lead acid now.
@@andrewt9204 though tbf if you can get your hands on similar lead acid technology for a better price power density is not a concern with stationary storage. You can pretty easily build a little shack to house tons of storage.
I'd love to see some usage and estimate time before it runs out. I know it's all depends on load but been thinking about a whole house generator but something like this would be a better solution
How do you think this is a better solution than a whole home generator? This won't run your entire home, much less for an entire day. My generator will run my entire home and shop and starts up automatically if I'm not home.
I'm guessing you need a much more efficient home and a bigger battery? We have utilities now looking to buy these kinds of systems to provide uninterrupted dispatchable power to residential customers in the US Canada and in Australia....but sure, you can run a diesel stinkpot or wood stove for your energy needs if you want to pollute, just no need to piss on Jordan's dream here. @@freighter1097
@@freighter1097 > This won't run your entire home Uh, yeah it will? Maybe not for an entire day, but that'd depend on your load. If the water pump isn't running, Zach showed that the system was pulling 800W. To run an entire home at 800W for 24 hours, you'd need a ~20 kWh battery. Which Zach mentioned is a size option for this power bank. I doubt it's cheap, but you also never need to buy (and maintain!) a diesel generator and fuel, or ever spew co2 into the atmosphere.
@@coredumperror You're going to tell me that this thing will replace my 200 amp service, let alone the 100 amp service to my shop? No, it isn't. Yes, I could string multiple units together and have several of them and several batteries to accomplish this. Or I could let my auto start natural gas generator do the job for weeks on end. It doesn't need to be plugged in and charged. Hell this thing wouldn't run my tankless water heater.
@@freighter1097 You're vastly overestimating how much energy you actually use in a typical day, let alone in power-outage conservation conditions. Will a battery backup system last as long as a well-stocked generator? No (unless you pair it with a bunch of solar). Have you ever actually needed your generator for a solid week of blackout conditions? I'd be quite surprised.
I feel if ppl invest in this . Then charge it up before an approaching Typhoon.. and standby Portable Gas Stoves.. this power station could keep the fridge working in case of power grid down due to storms... And the gas stoves keep the cooking going.
Definatley use Battery/solar whenever you can. When you pay back solar to grid its t 1/3 the rate.for example in Alberta Canada. My kwh is 12cents/kwh. But after fees I pay $0.25
These all-in-one systems are okay for most people, but for the price even discounted, a DIY solution with more battery and serviceability is more my style.
You should have considered installing a solar powered gable fan while you where at it. It lengthens the life of your roof and reduces internal temperatures during the hot months.
Pinching a cable with a nail like you did can burn your house down. The cable can become extremely hot on the point where it's pinched, even burning through the insulation and setting the beam you nailed it to on fire.

Pinching a cable with a nail like you did can burn your house down. The cable can become extremely hot on the point where it's pinched, even burning through the insulation and setting the beam you nailed it to on fire.
At first i thought jerry gonna unpack the Goat in this vdo.
Love the two-step in the attic... "I know there's a joist under all that fluff somewhere!"
Thanks, Zach!
Could you also install an interlock kit on the main panel ?
Then no need for the generator panel
Just now the apartment had a powercut and was thinking about this
Odd seeing that control panel in the weird closet thing. Code in my area has required them on an external wall not closeted since like the 90’s here.
Good stuff!
I wonder if they ship to Brazil?
And can you share info on the solar panels ?
Thank you!
Glad to live in The Netherlands, no power outage EVER 😂
Zack where is your garden tech upgrade video you promised!?
Love from India!
