Great idea new solar generator goal zero yeti pro 4000 + goal zero4 tank pro 4000 extra lithium phosphate battery 20 KWH test it out on TH-cam videos and 30 amps outputs
So, I have to lift a 100 pound battery and put it on top of the main unit. After that, I'll go lay down for a hour or so. Then I'll go back, pick up my testicles and put them back where they belong. Just kidding, of course. It really is a nice system. Thanks for another excellent video!
Hey Tom I think that’s the hardest part but after that, it’s all easy Peezy and will actually assist you in pulling it around. Hell you could probably use the remote control and drive it from your garage. Lol
Give it a real test like a generator, all their claims sound good on paper. You have the know how and equipment to do it. Behind every solar system is a good generator.
By far the most helpful video I've found on my new system! Especially because have a 50amp tiny house and I'm deciding on transfer switch for entire outside panel or just plugging the house in. Most of the things I needed to consider you covered including using the app. I'm looking forward to trying this out, but I agree using the app for remote driving is unlikely, tried it out today and thought it is definitely not my most needed feature. One thing was that it was too fast, but you mentioned the speed is adjustabe. I'm short on time e trying to figure it out by playing videos while I do other tasks but I stopped everything to watch your video! Thank you!
I finally got my superbase v in place and ready to test but I have the wrong adapter. Mine is a locking one and not the right one for the superbase so I was looking at the right adapters, the one for the 30amp plug was easy to find but I have been looking everywhere for the 50amp plug you show on here that goes into the two 15amp plugs. I only see plugs that are 2x 15amp to 30 amp. Do you have links to the adapters like yo show in here?
These units look like a "game changer". If the software works bug-free, it is over. I see no downside to this product. Weight is irrelevant when talking whole house options or running ac. Moving it should be minimal. I built 3 DIY units, 5200w, 5200w, 2400v capacity. I also have a 1500w and a 700w retail battery systems. I use the smaller, hand portable units in the bedrooms. The two larger units are built on hand trucks and one on a 4-wheeled cart. They are easy to move. I mounted four swivel wheels on an extended base I attached to the hand truck base, so they pivot 360° if needed. I position where needed and there they sit, with solar input available to charge each, sorta'. I only have 1500w of solar! I am moving so will buy more panels, and I will be having a transfer switch installed. Cost is always an issue, especially now. But having some battery backup or at least a 3000w generator is a must.
Greetings Sir, I have been waiting for your review on this equipment. I would like to see a review on the SuperBase V6400, Semi-Solid State Batteries. I am sure that one is coming soon. Thank you
Can you charge it while it's supplying power? To me the ultimate product would be a battery gen like this which can output 120/240V to my house, but can be charged with a simple 2000W gas generator at the same time. It would alleviate the need to buy a 240V gas generator.
I have a 4 prong circular outlet on my house. Can I still use the Black Cable shown to bring the split phase 120/240 to my house? Is there a 4 prong cable adapter that goes to a 4 prong circular female connector? I need to run my 220 Volt Sump Pump to bring water to my house.
Yes, you have the 30 amp twist slot so that cable will work with your inlet box. I don’t know exactly what your sump pump wattage is but if it’s not a really large one, it should work
Can this unit connect directly to my 120/240 outlet on my house like a standard whole house generator? That connector is four prong. I only saw a 3 prong 30 Amp connector on this solar generator. I need to run my 220 Volt Sump Pump to bring water to the house. How do I do that with this unit?
Hi. I would like to know where I can buy the cables. The 30 amp adapter to 50 amp. And the Plug 50 amp to 2 120 plugs. Or can you get me the name of those cables please
I am slightly concerned that the fans push that much air at just 600w, with this inverter capacity, i'd be worried about frequent cleaning requirements if i end up integrating this to use as solar+grid when i'm not traveling with it.
Personally would still take a pair of delta pros for a number of reasons. Disclaimer I have delta pros my self. I prefer the 2 unit setup. If one unit failed when you needed it you'd still have a second unit as a back up that will still do almost everything you need. Even in 240v, the same type of Y-extension to convert the 120v outlets to a 30amp 240v outlet on the Zendura can be used on a Delta pro. Both would roughly give you the same amount of power with that setup and power almost everything you need. Atleast with the Pros you have the option of doing a full 30amp 240v outlet when pairing them instead of roughly half the power when using either single unit. I prefer the size of the pros especially because I've helped out friends and family in outages 2 times in the past year so being relatively transportable is important to me. Not to say they are light but for a common strength man they are fine to take with you and load up especially because of the handles and dimensions. The superbase looks like it would be very awkward to lift by your self because it's length and lack of handles not to mention 25% heavier. If your grabbing this unit from your basement like I have to then forget about. The pros are pretty much at a size where any bigger or heavier its not a easy job for one man. Obviously not a issue if you don't plan to move the unit besides level ground. I feel like ecoflow is the more proven and established company with alot of products while zendure is new in the game atleast with this type of unit. I imagine support would be much better with Ecoflow but I don't have much experience with either company. I do see on their Facebook group some people are reporting issues with there unit but that's nothing really uncommon for a new product as long as they fix the bugs. Invertor output is higher on the pros. the Delta Pros are cheaper per watt then the superbase. Currently delta pros are $2899 on Amazon while the Zensure is $3999. Almost 10% cheaper per watt at that price. The pros are at a deal at the moment but if your paying attention they have a sale almost every month. You should pay no more then 3000 for a pro and alot of times they offer freebies along with it. Much more add ons and accessories that make their products even better. The gas generators especially. The superbase is a slick unit but I'd still take the delta pro.
@@dieseldawg7132 I can only comment on my experience. My dual delta pro setup been flawless so far. So has my delta max + dual fuel generator at my office. I’ve used all these things way more then I expected to. I’m not aware of any horror stories. Reference? Anyways that’s why I like the fact the delta is 2 individual units versus 1 incase one goes bad because from any one of these companies we have to expect issues but if I did have a problem I’d expect ecoflow to be better then zendure. They are more established. These are just my opinions and experiences so far.
Gaven so this 240 battery can be used like a portable LP or gas generator in concert with a home breaker box inter-lock device with 2-pole 30 or 50 amp breaker? Do you for see an issue matching up the Zendure plug with the receptacle? TY
Good to hear Gaven ty sir. btw In your humble opinion what would be the longest run of 10 gauge wire acceptable between the Zendure Super base when connected to a breaker box with an interlock device? Always the best!
That's fantastic, our family has been looking for a great camping options for medical equipment, my daughter is a heart transplant patient so needs power when out in the trailer ❤🎉
Gavin, this is the most informative video I've seen describing the 240 VAC outputs on the SuperBase V! I am about to buy one of these and would use it as backup power in an outage. I want to connect to my house via a generator inlet which goes to my main panel with an interlock so I need split-phase 240 VAC. Where did you find out about this split-phase feature? I can’t find this feature on the panel labels or in the Zendure documentation or website. I have emailed their support to get confirmation from them about this feature and get inadequate answers from their non-technical people; they are slow to respond perhaps overwhelmed by Black Friday sales. I'm ready to buy one right now but somewhat hesitant if Zendure can't confirm what appears to be an undocumented feature. I'd appreciate any info you have on how you found out about this or if it is in the Zendure documentation! Thanks!
I'm just beginning my search for the right emergency backup solution. My thoughts are to have a solution that would connect to my circuit breaker, which is in my garage (in a Florida home). So my question is should i have any concerns for leaving the Superbase & battery in a hot garage in close proximity to my circuit breaker? If that sounds like a bad idea, how far away can this unit be stored from the circuit breaker?
What an excellent review; really helpful. I have to what I know about portable power stations due to the excellence of this video. I prefer the all in one features. I'm not sure if you can add beyond the one battery but I will check the website. Thank you.
Where to get the y cable to L14-30R on transfer switch? I see a y adapter and a L14-30 cable on amazon, but not the black all in one on your video. Why not use RV Tt30 to transfer switch for 30a 120? Thanks and this was the most helpful video I watched for the SBV.
@@GeneratorReviews I’ve read on a forum “Use a TT-30P to L14-30R adapter and cable, which powers both halves / phases of the transfer switch panel and allows for selecting breakers for any of the 120 V circuits in the house”. Since I’m only running 120V circuits this will work and the Tt30 will bridge the two hots. Just wanted to share.
Hi,can you tell what to do when first time switch on when should I update?Cause i charged first to100% then all simbols-wifi,bluetooth dissapiered no connection at all😢.Cannt perform update i see in the app🤔🫣
Great idea new solar generator
goal zero yeti pro 4000 + goal zero4 tank pro 4000 extra lithium phosphate battery 20 KWH test it out on TH-cam videos and 30 amps outputs
That thing is awesome! Great job, Gavin.

Yes, I will and I agree ☝🏽 with you. This was just an introduction video.

Test out the add extra satellite battery and solar generator
Lots of people got faulty units on facebook post.
As always another great review

Thanks Gavin nice power source
It’s all good until AI goes crazy and hacks your battery. Even worse is that it can drive around in your house.

Yes you can do that, I used it to power shift from my home solar, and then it drives loads that run 24/7. Charge to 100% each day while the sun out
Very Nice....:) But, Big Money....
The features on this are so cool 👍!!! Great job Gavin
Are all the adapter cables provided with this unit? I think your video answered all my questions. An outstanding video. Thanks.
Yes 👍🏾
Niiiice review man!!!!
Thanks 😊

Will this system connect to a homes breaker box to power appliances/outlets?
Guess I should watch the entire video before I ask a question
Lol no problem 😉
Which system would you recommend for simple portable home backup power with solar charging capabilities?
Can this unit connect directly to my 120/240 outlet on my house like a standard whole house generator? That connector is four prong. I only saw a 3 prong 30 Amp connector on this solar generator. I need to run my 220 Volt Sump Pump to bring water to the house. How do I do that with this unit?
Yes, you can hook this one up to the inlet box with enough solar power coming in. You should be able to power your home.

How do you find the volume of the fan versus the competitors (of similar size)?
The fan is a bit noisy
I am slightly concerned that the fans push that much air at just 600w, with this inverter capacity, i'd be worried about frequent cleaning requirements if i end up integrating this to use as solar+grid when i'm not traveling with it.
So many choices these days...

The superbase is a slick unit but I'd still take the delta pro.
Zendure got like a $700 off coupon and I read to many horror stories on the delta units

When you plug both of the 120s together to get 240 to use the app for the RV do you use RV settings on the app for the two 120s put together
No, the RV setting is for the 30amp plug.
😮😎👍
👍🏾😎😊
Gaven so this 240 battery can be used like a portable LP or gas generator
in concert with a home breaker box inter-lock device with 2-pole 30 or 50 amp breaker?
Do you for see an issue matching up the Zendure plug with the receptacle?
TY
I’ve been using it now for several weeks and I haven’t had any issues.
Good to hear Gaven ty sir.
btw In your humble opinion what would be the longest run of 10 gauge wire acceptable between the Zendure Super base when connected to a breaker box with an interlock device?
Always the best!
I have the All Powers R1500 and 4 bluetti En38 power stations at the moment but I need some bigger boys for heating and cooking etc. this is nice!
Completely off grid btw,I don't pay electric bill at all anymore
So it actually does 240 split phase?
Yes, this was one of the first one that started doing 240 v split phase
That's fantastic, our family has been looking for a great camping options for medical equipment, my daughter is a heart transplant patient so needs power when out in the trailer ❤🎉
Yes, I think it’s perfect for that👍🏾
I need 240v support for my well pump. What cable is required to connect the 240v on the generator to the transfer switch? Thanks.
