It's not crazy, solar generators are just batteries. Where I live in Michigan we rank in the top 10 most cloudy days across the country. I can't depend on solar. I've accumulated a large amount of various deep cycle batteries that I can power some things in my house for a few hours to maybe a day. But when a big snow storm hits and we'll be 3 days without power the gas generator comes out to play.
Hay David, do you have any fav deep cell batteries?
You are confirming and answering what has me so bugged about 'power outage solutions'. There just is no one-answer-fits-all (unless you have a lot of money). You either have enough for 10 hours of running 1 thing, or 3 things for 2 days, but if you want 2 weeks of even bare items, you'll need be wise to prepare for everything, just get more. More panels, more batteries, more fuel, bigger generator, more sun. Crazy.
I love the the scene where Arsenio is shooting a machine gun and the guy next to him shoots one shot. Oh man that scene cracks me up!
After Hurricane Beryl I have added a bigger Ecoflo, a tri fuel generator, and a 400 watt solar panel. With my tri fuel generator, I have more options-natural gas, propane and gasoline. I also had a 50 amp inlet plug and an interlock kit installed, so I can power my whole house. Next on my list is getting a plumper to give me access to my house natural gas-line, it’s located on the other side of my house. I also will be ordering a soft start to be installed on my 4 ton AC unit. 8 days without power, no cell phone service and no internet, plus the Texas heat.
This a really good idea. Even if you have a full grid or off grid, being able to charge on bad weather days, means you can have power at night without the noise.
I'm in NorCal. We lost power for 3 days when the peak temp hit 100-110F for 8 days straight 2 years ago. It would get down to 90F at night. Some dumb jerk had a contractor generator running non stop day and night on the next street over. He had to refuel it on the run as it never stopped. I have battery backup and had fans, some lights and the fridge running. At about 2:20AM, I was lying there listening to that guy's generator when it started sounding a bit different. Then it started to rattle really loud and instantly stopped and fell silent. It probably ran out of oil and punched a rod out the side of the block. I snickered. His neighbors must have been delighted by the sudden quiet. There is nothing better than to rig for silent running. Run the gen set in the daytime if needed.
That’s awesome! Always good to have multiple ways of charging!
Good way to show how you need to think outside the box.
Thinking of different ways to do things are gonna be the difference between life and death. Good video brother👍🏾
Lead, I bet if you tried running two lines from your generator and doing two chains you might get faster charging.
I charge my panels with my RV engine when off grid when needed. Actually it’s using the alternator. Also, don’t forget to convert your gas generator to run off propane, as you can store propane for long periods of time.
Oooo propane that's a good one. So it will run on gas and propane. Where can I find that info.
How does one convert to propane? That seems like an excellent idea!
@@loriflarson4236 lots of TH-cam videos that show you how. Good luck.
@@amsmagicalgardeninsmall1009 many TH-cam how to videos. Search for “convert gas generator to run on propane”.
@@delgada747 that’s a smart move.
Oh that's a good one. I came home and electric was off (they didn't log my payment) so for a couple of hours no power and it was very very warm in the house. Glad I had my go power pro. Plugged the fan up while I called them and asked, what was going on. It ran the fan and charge my phone. I have my clam shell solar panel for the go power. I'm going to get the Energizer one But.... I bought a predator gas generator.... Need to try this out.
I love how informative this channel is.
Thank you much!
I love this video. Only problem i have is....I can only give it 1 thumbs up.
thank you for that comment my friend
Thank you so much! Have a dual fuel in my cart and was thinking about how to work it with my Jackery! Getting ready! Thanks Lead!
Nice 👍, I am looking into getting a dual gas and propane generator to have an extra source / option to have, a 4000/ 5000w dual generator is ideal for all types of scenarios, even when gas is in short demand, propane is a great source to run your generator.🤔 Most people have gas grills in their homes so they will be able to run a dual generator with the extra source of fuel . Great video to put out, keep pushing the knowledge, god speed.
Very informative and helpful video Lead! Please don’t ever stop sharing your amazing knowledge and experience! I really enjoy watching/following you and Lady Lead. Such an inspiring and beautiful couple! As a Senior female, I really appreciate the helpful knowledge that I’ve been able to gain through your channel.This is my first time commenting, even though I’ve been subscribed for around two years, and you are one of my favorite contributors. Just enjoy watching and learning awesome gems of information from you. Was able to get the Energizer w/$60 off thanks to you! Again, thanks for all you sincerely and generously share! Blessings to you and your family!!!
Hey Lead waiting for my big bluetti but got a 500 carry around to play with and getting hydroponics going. Thanks for great insight and knowledge. God bless
Just wish to thank you. I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago & have learned alot.
Plz keep adding info especially re: the solar generators. That is an area of knowledge that I need to improve on.
BTW plz extend my appreciate to your wife. It's so much better when a spouse supports self sufficiency.
Yesssssss! I get to show the FAM why we need both, the solar and gas powered generators. As well, how the gas can be converted to propane (will you try that at some point in case your gas ⛽'s runs out?). The pass-through is BRILLIANT: step by step. Now, to find that extension cord wheel for the needed footage.
Power up, prayed up, prepping up! Until next time...Grace and Mercy.
I’am Ready!
Blessings to you Brother and Sister thank you for this knowledge.🔺️🌍◼
What is the model of your Honda gas generator? I really need to purchase a generator. Since I've been living in CT, I've been without power on several occasions. Do you have suggestions on purchasing a good, easy to use, mid priced generator? All females in my home, so it can't be to heavy or complicated. Thanks.
Harbor Freight has generators the small one is often called a Honda clone it's almost identical to it.
Season changing , get ready , now , Sun position and All , WOOD CHECK ✅ , THANK YOU , My Husband understands , now!!!
Amen 🙏🏽
Man you got the right idea. I luv this episode!
You would be better off getting a power strip and charging each one individually. That way you get the most out of your generator and charge all your batteries quickly. The 12v port tends to be about 120w max when the charge input are much higher.
both is god, thks sir
Just picked up the exact same Honda to pair with our EcoFlow Delta =) Great video, thank you!
How are you liking your delta? You haven't had the same problem Lead had are you?
@@loriflarson4236 Hmm, must have missed the video where Lead was having a problem. So far it's been great. Haven't pushed it "too hard" but it's been great. I've tested it with multiple phones and laptops plugged in, and we have a Segway Dirt eBike which actually is probably equivalent to a refrigerator for the power it needs, and has worked great with everything. Also, it seems to charge up quickly so that's been great too. I'll soon test the Honda for powering it back up.
@@Zbee167 that's great to hear! I've been afraid to run mine down to zero because of Leads video
Wow. This video is so timely for me. I have lithium batteries in my van, but have been thinking of getting a gas generator for rainy weather or even sunny weather when I am in the desert and want to park in the shade to keep the van interior from getting unbearable. Thanks for this video.
I had to subscribe anybody with all them solar generators, I got to know the story!!!! I went to Walmart to get me a second solar generator, they did not have any, I know now , you bought them all!!! Thanks for the info!! Love the show!!
Thank you sir for taking the time to show us a nice working setup!
I need the Bluetti AC200, but its $1699 right now. I need a blue light special.
Thank you for this info. I was just about to buy a second Bluetti, but it looks like I need to diversify.
I got my bonus today, and added that gas generator to my preps.
I promise…. YOU WONT BE SORRY. I still use this Honda on my land every single day, all day long. After all these years I have only changed the oil once and it just never gives up on me. I have added the 6 gallon extended gas tank for longer run time.
Appreciate your video Sir. My only comment is you should take the AC adapters from a few of the other solar generators and plug a few more into that extension cord . You can put more of a load on that gas generator and the charging will be more efficient by going indivual inputs instead of losing that 10 watts from each level of pass-through charging. You might get all of them charging directly from gas and faster too!
Great video. Now I know how you charge up everything. I have two EU200i so I can hook them up together, plus the Bluetti AC200P and the Energizer. I was going to get another AC200P, but too expensive. I also have the DuroMax XP13000EH that uses Propane.
Great job thanks!!
Awesome information. I’m now on my way to buy my gas generator to support my solar generator. Thank you so very much.
Greetings
thank you, I have solar power in place, but if sun is low I worry in ohio if I can stay warm, please give us ideas on how to stay warm if grid is down ...and about kerosene heater's are they safe?🤔
I’m about to release my heating video asap
I agree you would need both at some point in time. I'm waiting for the Ecoflow Solar Tracker so I can maximize the solar charging efficiency of the panels and use a gas generator on worst case scenarios.
thanks lead any information you give is very helpful in learning about using both forms of power and the connections i have learned alot from you thanks again
One day make a gasifier that uses wood as fuel for yr generator.
Ok
You like those solar generators
cool mppt solar inverters can run wen there not much sun
Nice set up and thanks for showing us how you charge your solar power stations. I think it would work better to install a transfer/interlock switch, with an outside inlet box. You can run a 10 gauge extension cord from the generator, to the inlet box, that's connected to the main control panel. This way you can charge all the power stations at the same time, using the house outlets, and run other critical circuits as well around the house. Of course you would need a bigger generator, something over 5000 running watts.
It's not crazy diversify your options. #survivalmode
I saw in a video by Ecoflow that they have the Delta Pro system with the Smart Generator a few weeks back. Pretty good stuff.
Nice video. 🙂
With a gas generator you will have to renew yur stored gasoline every year. But a propane generator does not have that problem. Propane keeps for years. Dual fuel generators are available that use either gasoline or propane.
Hi Lead.
It's better to just use a large cooler and fit it with batteries and charge equipment so that in the event of a part failure it easy to fix. Good luck cracking open and fixing a Bluetti.
hey Lead, great video. that pass through looks like it will do the trick
Definitely a good option for keeping the portable solar power banks charged. They are a lot easier to transport than a big gas generator if you need to move quickly.
Ecoflow delta max and there new gas generator work together.
1st! 😂
Lol
Not fair. We had to watch the video, first. 🤣
@@faithlewis4695 😂😂😂 You’re right I had an unfair advantage! 😆
@@LadyLead 😂😂😂
Maybe I missed it but I'd like to see the grow lights power the solar panels to power your batteries 🙄
You should give it a try and tell me how it works out
@William Cominsky I was thinking a perpetual cycle; the grow lights power the solar panels then convert power to solar generator battery and then invert power the grow lights. Imagine there would be some wattage loss therefore semi perpetual? Lol
Can you use one generator to charge another? Stranger question: Can you use a generator to charge itself?
google lol🤔
This was awesome. Wow
Do you kneed an inverter generator to charge a powerstation or will a normal generator do the trick?
Thanks for the good video
You always teaching me something! What model Honda generator is that! I need to get that for my house asap
Hey Glad to see u safe. I am very worried because I am a parent of a disabled g-j tube dependent child.She is total care and I am experiencing they are cutting a lot of supplies down and I have to buy more out of pocket each year.Her meds are down to the day no leftover and no refill until the day of. I am trying to think now of what to do to prepare just in case I can’t get what she needs.any thoughts please reply
Thanks
Love this and the movie ad libs!!
Can i use the honda generator on just the main big one bleuti system? I dont understand the need for the jackery and the 2nd bluetti you have.
Nice!!!! Good Stuff
Is there anything specific I should know before I buy a fuel powered generator? I just bought an Ecoflow Delta 2 Max, 2048wh and would like to buy a dual fuel generator as a backup. The only info I've received is to make sure its an inverter generator.
Just stick with the Honda and you’ll never be sorry you spent the money. I have a lot of gas generator reviews. A lot of the generators are really good but nothing beats the Honda. I am not sponsored by that company. They just have never failed me. They cost more, but boy are they worth it?
Did you ever figure out the one that was charging and turning on and off
Had to send it back to the company it’s on its way back now
@@leadfarmer73 thank you for the information have been curious since watching the video. Good work with the channel brother appreciate all the hard work and information you share 👍
From what I C U have 16 solar panels and only making 70 what's.??? In the day. I understand it's cloudy but ????
What model Ho sa is that?
great channel and great content! I just discovered you, you got another subscriber. peace
WE BOUGHT A DUAL FUEL GENERATOR IT RUNS ON PROPANE AND GAS PLUS i AM TOLD YOU CAN GET AN ADAPTER FOR NATURAL GAS AS WELL...SORRY FOR CAPS. was going to buy a generac but did not want to spend 4000.00 at the time. so we got the wen 11,000 watt generator right after Texas went full on ice age this year. bought it with the stimulus money Biden gave out this year. have not needed to use it but got a 500 gal (which hold 368 gallons) propane tank for the just in case.
Them generators are hongry!
Hello .. please can you help me .. I used to have a Bluetti AC180 .. and when I used a propane generator (1500) watt output .. I could see on the Bluetti application that I was getting 1 KW of charge going into my AC180 .. I sold that unit and got an AC200 MAX instead .. I have 3 solar panels (Bluetti PV 200) .. Can I use those 3 panels (600) watts of solar and the propane generator at the same time .. or is that to much input for the AC200 max .. Thank you 🙏
Do you have an answer for making your own bio fuel ? Please let us know. I get solar power and inverters but self made fuel is a alternative especially with gas prices.. your advise matters . And I think it’s being on over looked
That's what charges the new electric cars when you run out of the juice. It's made into the trunks of the new electric cars. Still gotta have that gas.

Is this the Honda EU2200ITAG 2200-Watt 120-Volt
Or Honda 662220 EU2200i 2200 Watt
They are the same unit except one has a outlet for a RV
@@leadfarmer73 Thank you for your fast reply. I love watching your shows. Very informative and honest!
Sorry, I have another question please. Can you suggest an extension cord? I need about 75 feet
What version and specs are your Honda and how many watts does it put out please mate? Also what's the efficiency like eg. How long will it run per litre of petrol/gasoline (if you know)?? Also are you running it on E10 or E5 fuel? Our standard unleaded just went from E5 to E10 shit and it's messing everyone's engines up over here cos were used to decent petrol but now they upped the Ethanol it's messing up every small engine, mowers and generators strimmers etc and all cars engines if Made pre 2011! It's a shite for everyone tbh so that's why I'm asking what you're running it on ethanol content wise and also if you have issues with E10 fuel over there or if they've adapted the engines for U.S. market to handle higher ethanol or perhaps changed parts out or if you have to add in additive or buy premium fuel less ethanol to run small engines?
Cheers from London England 👍💪😎🏴🙏
Look up Honda EU2200i It will give you all of the specs that you need my friend.👍🏽
@@leadfarmer73 thanks mate that was quick!
I changed my question slightly added to it mate as we're having a major fuel crises here in England so that's why I'm asking mate major fuel shortages can't get fuel. Appreciate any advice you got regards small engines and fuel you run them on
Anyone know if a bougerv solar generator can be charged by a Harbor Freight Thunderbolt 100 watt solar panel.
Yes 👍🏽
Yes, it did thank you.
If I keep the honda gas generator in my van will my van smell like gas?
What is a gashole? Asking for a friend.
💖💖
How often do you respond to your email.
What did you need my friend?
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why one group is trying to squeeze fossil fuels. Stack it to the rafters, SAFELY. Thanks, Mr & Mrs Lead!
P. S. Apparently the scam gardener decided to “try again” after his whine fest where he said he was done. 😂 If everything you plant is in buckets, you might not own the dirt they sit on, ain’t that right! 🗣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
