Where was the a mp test?

Any chance you are going to review the OUPES Mega 5 Portable Power Station? Thank you for all of these reviews. I value your input and would not purchase anything before seeing your review. Much appreciated!!!! :)
What would happen if someone accidentally plugged the two brick charges into the OPES power outlets and tried to charge the OPES battery .The system would be wired in a loop . I wonder if it would even turn on or try and charge itself ? Or worse catch on fire.
Yes I like how thorough he is@@PlantBasedPietro
Got this power station April 15 for our camping trips. Thanks for the great discount HOBO! Worked fine for a few days/week and then started receiving E2 messages - 'battery low voltage protection'. However the unit was still at 55%. It has gotten worse since then. E2 message at higher and higher power percentages and drawing only 150w (trailer plugged in) or less. I've emailed the company and awaiting a reply, but the unit is worthless to me right now.
7-11-23. OUPES customer support has sent us a new unit to replace our defective one. There is no phone number for customer support that I know of, just email addresses. However, they did respond promptly to each email, overnight, since I assume they must be in Asia/Japan. They sent me a prepaid label to return the defective unit in the shipping box the new unit came in. Hopefully this one will work better. I really like the build of the unit and the solar charging; we use it for camping; just plug our trailer into the 110v outlet - no more gasoline/oil/noise. We have only used the new unit lightly while at home, but will use it more on our next excursion.
I’m having the same issue. I bough mine in 9/22 and followed the manual to charge it. I have had to luck in contacting customer service. I paid over 2600.00 with the 2 solar panels. It’s useless as I prepare for hurricane season. I no longer have the box. I feel like customer service disappeared, and I’m out over 2600.00 😢
Don’t know what to do. I’d you or anyone have any suggestions, I’m all ears! Thanks .
I purchased this product during Black Friday - $1445. I waited for a detailed review on TH-cam but the price was right so I took a chance. Compared to my other " major brand " solar generators that include Ecoflow, the quiet fan in this unit is EVERYTHING! I primarily charge via solar so the charging bricks don't bother me but after seeing the efficiency test I'm glad I didn't pay $1699 for only 1700-1800 of useable watts. Great review as always!!!
I was surprised that it passed the amplifier noise test. The dual 200w bricks is kind of ridiculous, but is a budget decision I can support.
Do you connect your solar panels straight to the the oupes???
@@ozzyzarate7914yep
pondafit: So did I. However I just purchased a second one last week at $1007. That's 45 cents per WH
I just bought this for $680 one year later.
Fantastic deal! I have the Oupes 1800, runs my home.fridge for a full day on a full charge.
I got the 1800 too 😁
Just ordered this tonight.....$799.00 tax included......using your Hobotech code...another $39 off.....2232 WH is crazy at 760...oh free shipping......gonna add another two bouge yumas with your code also $1200 and $300 off !!!!
So far I have no complaints from the 2 Oupes I've purchased in the past.
1445 YES; got it!!!
I own this unit and it’s a fantastic beast zero complaints !
How's it holding up after 7 months?
@@twanmartin5773 still works like it was new. I love that I can put up to 960 watts of solar into it. zero problems
I have the Oupes 1800, something I can easily lift and take out to the backyard. So far I love it.
It's now $799! Amazing how prices still dropped even with all the inflation. Just picked up another 1. Thanks Hobo!
Its always a better deal when a powerstation has multiple ports to charge it (especially multiple solar input. If one fails, which they do, you still have another option instead of getting stuck with a very expensive paper weight.
Very Happy today, checked my Jackery 100 watt panel with my oupes 1800 model and it WORKS 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Nothing wrong with brick chargers, especially if you rarely use them. They subtract weight and dimension from the main unit and make it more portable.
I'm sure that is their thought if you mostly solar charge.
A lot easier to replace an external brick charger exposed to surge and go ⚡🔥 vs an internal charger. Might be possible to match off brand charging input bricks. Just my .02
well...but this shiz didn't have passthrough function for the AC, due to it using external bricks and using DC at inputs. Kinda pointless device
@@s.i.m.c.a Yes it does, what are you talking about?
So true
I have the smaller, 1200w version of the Oupes solar generator. I have used it for several months now and find that it works just fine. It is true that it is a pain to have to keep punching the on button to see the readout, but that is a pretty minor problem.
Most of the higher end ones are like that? Bluetti EB70S shuts off the display after a few moments too...
🤑Shut up and take my money!🤑 The rear SoS lantern sealed it for me. I can go out camping and 'microdosing' while phoning home 👽 total win 👍😎
Good to see you thanks Professor. Have a blessed day.👍❤️
It's nice the 12v outlet is a locking kind from the looks of it. Solves the whole falling out problem. Wish all brands used a locking version. Looking at you Jackery, Ecoflow and Blueetti!
Agreed. This should be standard on everything. It's not an expensive upgrade, companies just choose to cheap out on components. Yet Oupes offers it and their units are 10-25% cheaper than the competition
Throwing a left-right at my computer screen is easily the most Pavlovian thing I do on a regular basis. Somebody at Oupes got a fantastic deal on a butt-load of those smaller chargers. I don't hate it, although I greatly prefer being able to use a simple cable without the brick.
In my apt that lantern light is VERY VALUABLE. Put it on the counter and it lights up the ENTIRE FRONT ROOM/ KITCHEN when the power is out snd i can do my morning routine! I LOVE MY SOLAR GENERATORS and i feel BAD for those who dont have 😮
Thank you Prof. Hobo again for the review and code. Just snagged one right before year's end. I also think it's almost hideous to have 2 power bricks, but I also understand they are just using what's developed so no extra cost there.
I like the fact that if one brick fails, I can continue to charge with the other one.
960 solar bang ‼️ 😊 I would like to see 120v or 115v and not below 110v.
Agreed. 108v is not enough for me.
I have an Oupes 600w unit. Although, I have pass thru charging, leaving my product plugged in as an EPS resulted in the machine overheating and dieing. I was only using a box fan on low. Of course ambient temperature was warm, but within operating conditions.
They replaced the unit under warranty.
Now, I charge it slowly using its bidirectional 60W.
I would like either internal temperature be shown on the screen as my $100 solar generator or via an App like my Ecoflow Delta 2.
For preppers like me, redundancy is not a bad thing...Regarding the AC wall chargers, I'd rather have two 250W chargers than a single 500W...In the event one of them stops working, you at least still have the ability to charge the device via AC input...albeit slower, said the turtle to the hare...
Thats a great point I did not even think about
@@johnliberty3647 Indeed...Preppers' Creed: One is none--two is one--three is peace of mind--and four will give you options...
@@scottwalker2482 But the TV told me preppers were crazy and foolish. Its better to not be prepared! don't you watch TV lol.
Not sure if I count as a prepper as much as I am someone striving to be an off grid homesteader but its all the same thing to me. Too many fools on the system/grid who are easily baited into mocking those who are different even when that different means they are more prepared for adversity. After reading your post I am going to start adding more redundancies to my future plans.
@@johnliberty3647 Glad my post was well received...When one lives in an insane world and does not intentionally do something each and every day which draws scorn, ridicule or rude dismissal, what does that say about that person? Relish the laughter of others, bask in their derogatory remarks and wear the names they call you as badges of honor-for you see what they see not. Such is the plight of all who awaken before the others and it is the surest indication that you indeed are walking on a righteous path. It most definitely is a mad, mad, mad, mad world; be in it, but not part of it. I, too, am a soon to be homesteader...For those with eyes to see, it's the way forward...
Alaska prepper (youtube channel) said the very same thing you did about the dual chargers. I ended up getting this product, the dual chargers for redundancy was one of the reasons. Although I will rarely wall charge I still like redundancy. I also liked that there was no cell phone ap. I do not trust anything that can be detected or connected wirelessly. The people who call me paranoid about this also called me paranoid when I pointed out that built in webcams can be hacked. Turns out, webcams are getting hacked. The worst part about being paranoid is that I keep ending up being correct.
I got this product with 480 watts of their solar panels. My first time every dealing with solar so I figured I best start with their panels. I still have room for 480 more watts and might try to DIY it as I get more comfortable using this. The cable that connects the solar panels to the device is extremely short so I bought an extension cord off of hobotechs site. 10 gage is probably overkill but overkill is better than not having enough wire thickness. All the downsides to this are strangely up sides to me or not applicable. If it ends up being crap I will follow up, TY HoboTech and tell Odin if I ever run across his litter box I will change his kitty litter for him.
After hooking up my Oupes I found it comes 65% charged. I also found out that the solar panels came with a very long cord, I assumed the cord was short because the splitter was short and I thought that was the Solar Panel cord. I did not measure the cords that came with the solar panels but they were well over 10 feet. I also found out that you need 4 of their panels to connect to the Anderson Powerpole outlets. It does not work if you only connect to one of them. Or that is what the Manual said. I did not push my luck and test it. Eventually I will get another set of Solar Panels but for now I only have 2 of theirs. Not sure if I will DIY my next set of solar panels or buy theirs.
This is my first time tinkering with solar generators and I have never dealt with solar before so I can not compare this to anything else. I have yet to use it other than to charge it. I will keep posting on this thread if something comes up.
When using the dc cigarette port it shuts off when using a product that draws 150 watts. No big deal to me, The only devices I use with that are in the van and I can just use the vans cigarette lighter outlet.
Hi Tom! Although this Oupes has some good qualities, especially the price, there’s still too many flags flying around as if this machine was in a football game as a contender imo! Nice review! Stay safe! ~Jim~
Nice review. The external chargers are nice because that means it's not a bypass charger but they are a bit small. The price is great but the 108VAC output with a only 1KW load is a deal breaker. You didn't show the output voltage at 2400W but it's probably near 100V which not good for some devices. If the inverter can hold output at 115VAC+ at 2400W then it would be a real contender for me.
Just wanted to say thanks for the great review, Just ordered today, and this delivered is under $1400! 😊
So, I'm planning on doing some desert 🏜 driving/camping/exploring and I want to charge with solar during the day, so 8 have power at night. This review helped alot thank you!
Your generators seem to have a good reputation. Trying to do my homework on the generators on the market
Nice review. From a past review of the Elecaenta 120w panels I recieved a nice discount from your code. Thank you! I am now prepared for the snow that's on the way! (Electric is bound to go out here!🤥
Same here, upon hobos review, I Too just ordered some 120W Elecaenta panels. Thanks for the code Hobo, and cheers to us!!
Note quite sure why they went with Anderson Connectors for solar. Unless it comes with MC-4 to Anderson cables. My Bluetti came with the MC-4 to barrel as well as my smaller Golab 200i, cables included and I can use any solar panel. Not like the Jackery, which I believe has a proprietary input for solar and you have to buy their panels. Maybe I'm missing something here
Love your reviews. I look forward to them.
Double 👊 👊 fisted and the ufo 🛸 light. Looks like a good Thursday in the works.
Thanks HoboTech!
One minor consumer concern here. I tested out the cigarette lighter charging option in a pinch. The adapter going into my vans lighter socket gets very hot in 30 minutes. It could probably go an hour or 2 but it was hot enough for me to limit it to 20 minutes at a time. Other than that no complaints.
I love my Leoch 2000; but it weighs 72 lbs., so Oupes 2400 looks cool without breaking my back. I got the Leoch for under $1,000; but $1500 seems reasonable.
I'd say your deal is a little better, Oupes needs to come down to about $1200 for this to be a great deal, or package it with solar at $1500.
I bought a oupes 600 w solar for $469 last year, it is a good product
You have to incorporate the "Get Smart" show intro into some of your videos, if possible, without copy right issues of course. And some Batman and Robin cuts.
I loved Get Smart!
Great review as always
Thank You for doing what you do. thanks to odin for keeping you company while you do 🙂
Great video. Thankyou for the valuable information
I will be anxiously awaiting your review of the Kodiak X2. It claims 6,000 cycles.
You'll be waiting forever. They don't offer their products to honest reviewers not on their payroll.
@@HOBOTECH thank you
Hey man great channel
Not one, but TWO bricks? This is the flaw Oupes has . Slow charging and now they make it worse by providing 2 bricks.
Thanks for the review, Hobotech.
Great review as always... Was wondering if you've ever done a review on an eco-flow 2000 Max ?I cannot find it on your site
No
Have we ever found out what those 55/21 barrel plugs used for? Other channels that Copy You have asked the same question 😊
Great informational video. Love your videos. I always learn alot from you.
The manual says you need solar into both Anderson inputs for it to charge this way. Is this true? Would it not work to just have a single stronger panel into just 1 of the Anderson solar inputs? Support told me this as well but it wasn’t clear if this was tested sufficiently in your awesome review.
Thanks for this review sir.
I bought this a few months ago, and I have a total of 1200w solar panels setup (600w per Anderson input connected parallel), but I cannot get more than 500w input even in maximum sunlight.
How many panels were you able to use to get up to 1000w from the solar inputs?
I'll appreciate your help in this!!
It could be your panels.
@@stephaniez2 True. That's what I have discovered. Thank you.
It's impossible to hook up more solar panels watts. I'm guessing the would not work if the grid went down. The minimum power needed per day is 1400 watts per day. Which one do I need.
The solar inputs have a great wattage rating, BUT (!!!) 45v is really low. I'd like to know what the upper limit for the solar input actually is, and what happens if I plug in my 52 VOC panel, will it pull enough to bring it down to its 42v MPP?
Hi there research shows this only costs $200 to make. They should lower the price to help out the people in these tough times.
Prof. Hobo, out if curiosity, what do you think about this unit compared to FF Power 2000 that you reviewed a couple months before this one? They have similar range and price per W or Wh.
I’m curious as well for a response to this.
A follow-up: I bought the Oupes 1800w in mid-2022. The inverter failed after a few months of use. That was the time when this video was up. Oupes refunded the 1800w and sold me the 2400w, which better fit my needs. But within 2 weeks its inverter failed again, so I returned within 30 days. Oupes' customer service was actually really good. I just hope their quality can match.
Are the dual 8mm inputs for the dual power adapters the result of the 8mm port not being able to safely pass more than ~200 watts? I know with 5521 I've never seen anything more than a 10A female port (I've looked for a 20A and I'm sure one exists, not sure if the male head is really safe at 20A either).
And technically since the power adapters are just bricks converting AC to DC if you had a battery that imitated the power adapters voltage output you could use those 8mm inputs to charge with said battery? Obviously not something that should be done unless you know what you're doing.
I don't recall the rating on the 8mm but it was something like 240w. There is no reason to not include a 500w power brick with an Anderson adapter.
Biggest drawback is the 45V max solar input. I’ve got 3 BougeRV panels, and to use them with this I’d need to run a separate set of cables.
When you do the UFO flashing light feature the video broke through a commercial break with a woman screaming (an Anker Power Station ad).
I need to figure out a way to plug a panel that ONLY has dc barrel outputs into a controller so I can limit the voltage going to my power station to 12v max. Is this even possible since the controllers need to be hooked up to a battery?
I have this battery & it emits a high pitched squeal when turned on. Not sure if a different unit would be any better.
I only have 1-strand of solar panels. I have (7) 100w panels total of 700w. they are voc-21.82v each, can I use these as is in series and charge by Anderson pole wire into oupes? or is it too much voltage input on only one input to oupes?
Two yr warranty evo flow has 10 year
Prof. Hobo. At 2:10 you said Andersons and 8mm inputs can be used at the same time. Bottom of Page 7 of the Oupes manual says you cannot use them at the same time. Is that a typo?
Great information buddy
Quick question
I own a AC200P what will be an economic way to expand the battery??? Thanks buddy
Upgrade to the 200Max ...
Brick chargers or built in charger is an argument that brought me and my landlord to engage in Infisticuffs. (He won but i got a few hits in) final result. I moved in to a new space with jis wife. Maybe the fight had nothing to do with chargers jow that i sum that up.
The slow charging per port and lack of 100 watt PD are deal breakers..
Prices have come down since this video came out. I just got an ALLPOWER 2000 watt solar generator with 400 watts of solar panels for 1200 bucks tax included and free shipping by ordering from Walmart
Gah, the bricks....and it's not even a great AC wall charge rate for having to deal with that mess if you want to go as fast as possible from AC. It's like every time a company gets down the final thing to really make a product stand out they go, Woah, woah, woah there my guy, we can't possibly make it that good, that's just taking things too far...don't be ridiculous. For this one, we shall give them two bricks with spaghetti. But nice review as usual!
All sogens should come with a 100w usb c port these days. Missed the mark there.
I tried using a solar panel that was putting out 35-37 volts and it wouldn't charge. I was thinking it was 24 volts max input on each Anderson input but you were putting 45 volts into each side? Also, when charging with the wall outlets, the chargers got very warm, almost hot. Did you check that? Thanks for your help!
Professor: There was a “Flux Capacitor” on your work bench beside this sogen. Will the Ooupes power a time machine?
Yes
Many of us have solar panels. The "Negative Side" to these Oupes is that they tell you that it may not charge properly unless you use "their" solar panels (page 8 in the manual) which are expensive. That's a deal breaker for me!
Do they give any reasoning for this? Sounds like your typical "buy our stuff because its compatible" when there is nothing proprietary about the source or sink device.
That's marketing BS 101.
@@HOBOTECH How do you mean sir?
@@kenm8955 It means that virtually every brand says their product works best with their own solar panels when in fact it's utter BS to get you to spend more money with them.
@@HOBOTECH Appreciate your honesty. So you feel this unit will charge with regular solar panels without any problems?
Thank you for the info I really need your advice I have a green house up north and is being really hard to keeping it warm and with out that I can't grow anything at all,I buy this heater for the green house Bio Green PAL 2.0/USDT Palma Calentador de invernadero incluye termostato digital but I need a system that can recharge with solar and can run this heater constantly I think is 1500watt,any advice please,I also was considering windmill solar system
Can you do a review on the Oupes 1800 please?
GrEEEEeeeEeEEetings…. Positive Comment!!!!
Pecron E2000LFP is a better deal only 62 watts difference in DC capacity and 50 in AC capacity but has expandable capacity and faster charging with both grid and solar plus it's cheaper (using Hobo's code) with only losing out on inverter power.
I was debating on getting the PecronE2000LFP, But I bought the Oupes2400 which trying to move the side broke off. Two sections somehow fell off the side of the unit.
I regret buying the Oupes. 1 week and its falling apart from moving it out of my vehicle from the back seat.
Hey man how can i charge this the fastest wat through my cigarette lighter ? Should i get one of those 400 watt cigarette lighter inverter ?
What is the switch speed for the unit?
If I wanted to use it as a UPS for my desktop computer, it will need to switch to battery in under 6 ms.
Hey Tom, can you charge this unit on A/C and solar inputs at the same time and achieve 1,373 watts of charging power? Would that be advisable?
The limit is 1000w from two sources
I dig your vids, thanks.
What is the maximum watt solar panel for this?
Thanks!
$1699 is a little high for a basic brand when other 2000 watt ones are closer to $1000 or .50c a watt
$1445 and what other brands are 50 cents / watt?
Do you have a review on the VDL 2000s
Help me Hobotech your my only hope. I need a portable power station for my and my wife's CPAPs that can last a week and fit in my motorcycle's saddlebags. they have 24-volt inputs but I have 12-volt converters for small one-day batteries. I am daunted by not knowing enough about capacities or even the right questions to ask.
I don't know how big your saddlebags are but something around 1000wh should last 3-4 nights easily off 12v, probably longer if you turn off the heated humidifier. Check hobotech.tv/amazon/#Power-Generators for options
BTW you can charge most power stations with 12v from your bike while you ride. You just need a cigarette lighter socket.
Since i discovered your channel you have put me in the he about $7,000 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Did I miss if this has UPS? The Professor usually plugs in his old laptop to test it.
I mention there is no UPS
How long will it power a LG 33 inch TV + 3 - 12V lights?
Oupes MEGA 5 REVIEW ???
What Voltage does the solar charger kick out on? (45.1V)?
46v-47v
Does is kickout or brick the unit. Most don't like any over volting.
Nyet on this i'm afraid...
In a die-hard grid down emergency, especially in a protracted one?
SPEED OF CHARGING is the game changer here. 6 hours to charge this unit won't cut it.
If you are forced to charge your solars via gas generators, 6 hours of gas genny run time is a waste of a precious commodity... GASOLINE!
I can charge an Ecoflow to 100% in about 80 minutes. So i ask... which unit would be an utter waste of resources?
One can preserve gasoline storage considerably better with an Ecoflow unit.
In a protracted grid down?
LONGEVITY OF RESOURCES is the name of the game!
When Oupes can cut their unit AC charge times down to about a max of 2 hours, THEN i will look at it.
I have to ask an expert, wtf is a 100 amp BMS good for and can you parrell two or more to get 200, 300, etc amp net PS. I ask because nothing I want to power will run on 100 amp into the inverter... need help from the Hobo guru. Thanks. Be safe...
Doc
Oupes, there it is...
I have read a lot of mixed reviews on this unit concerning charging and discharging.
Great video! What were the 2 units you placed on top of the generator that you were charging with the PD outputs?
Powerben. I did a review on them.
@@HOBOTECH forget the name of those always!
@@HOBOTECH Thanks Hobotech!
Does the Oupes have UPS mode?
If yes, is it fast enough to keep a PC on when you yank the power cable?
No UPS. You cant have that with power bricks.
@HOBOTECH why cant you have a UPS with power bricks?
Was interested in the blueetti ac200max is it worth jumping to the ac300 it seems it's almost double the money for only 800 more watts of inverter power what is your take on this.
Depends on your needs. I'd get the biggest you can afford but that's my opinion.
@HOBOTECH I need 3000 at least just don't think the price is warranted there is only 800 watts difference and the price is significantly increased you don't even get 30amps out of the ac 300 to get true 30 amps you need the 500
OUPES's web site says 2500 cycles.
It's 3500. They are fixing the website.
Fantastic video, as usual, I was wondering what are your thoughts on the Anker 767, I have noticed that no solar generator reviewer has touched them.
Anker is refusing to work with Influencers. Worried about bad press I guess.
@@HOBOTECH My small Anker 232 series II, or whatever the hell it is (the one with a wide screen and a single 300w AC socket) is a great unit, my first sogen and still working fine.
A bit annoyed that it doesn't charge from the Powerport Solar 60 properly, but that little fact is apparently buried in the finest if fine print.
Oops I mean Oupes passes the test !
Is the battery 3500 cycles, or 2500 to 80% as stated on their website?
3500 verified by the engineers
👍

Thanks. Will you start to test AC/DC port drain under no load (ports just turned on) per hour? I have a use case where knowing the battery drain per hour is important.
how did you get Nugent to sing your theme song?
