- Complete review of the new EBL Voyager 1000Wh power station. This nifty power station can provide hour after hour of energy to keep your astronomy and/or camping equipment humming. I am most impressed by its stunning price of $499.99 which is just $0.50 per Wh which beats the pants off the competition. I summarize the basic features of the Voyager and show the results of my bench tests to measure actual capacity, maximum current capability, voltage stability, AC and solar panel charging times and actual field tests with my own astronomy equipment.

NOTE: While I can highly recommend either the EBL 1000 or the 500 power stations I do not recommend their 300 power station. The 1000 and 500 are voltage regulated and, as I showed in the video with the 1000, provide power at a voltage greater than 12V for over 90% of its capacity. The 300 model is made differently and does not have voltage regulation resulting in a drop in voltage below 12V much too early making it not a good option in my opinion for equipment that needs 12V or greater to function optimally.

Very well done video. I have been watching reviews on power stations and solar panels for several weeks and I enjoyed this one immensely. You did a great job explaining the things i was intered in learning about. i intend to recommend it to others.
Thank you for the positive feedback. If you can, please use my links for your purchase to show your appreciation for my efforts and to help support the channel so I can do more of this. In fact, I am working on a review of the EBL 200W solar panel which will be out soon.
Great information. I appreciate your thorough testing. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your positive feedback. And if you end up purchasing one of EBL's power stations please don't forget to use my links so as to support my channel.
Very detailed review, have been looking for a power station and mostly at Jackery being so widely used. I was glad to see this item , obviously due to the price as one thing but the overall setup is very comparable it seems. The life expectancy if I understand is related to how many times you charge it, what’s your opinion on this subject with this station EBL? Thanks
All Li batteries or power stations have an expected number of full discharge cycles. For LiNiMnCoO2, which is what Jackery and EBL use to keep the weight down, the expectation is 500 full discharge cycles. After that, the power station should still have 75 - 80% of the original capacity so you can still use it but won't get 100% capacity. Jackery specifies 10 years overall lifetime. As I say in the video, EBL does not specify either number but I think we can safely assume 500 full discharge cycles as well. I have yet to see the insides of the EBL so at this point in time I cannot say if the built quality is equivalent to Jackery. From the outside and the performance over 4 months it works just as well as the Jackery but for far less.
@@astronomytipsreviewswithcu740 not sure I thanked you for this info and the video
I have on order the 1000w EBL. I’m sure it will suffice my jobs, thanks
As I state in the video, they do not specify anywhere that I can see the number of full discharge cycles. However, since they are using NMC cells like Jackery and others I can only guess that we should expect 500 cycles after which the power station should still supply 75 to 80% of its original capacity. One other thing to be clear on is EBL provides a 1 year warranty while Jackery's is 2 years. But for about half the price and the same capabilities the EBL might be the right choice for many. Which is why I did the testing and the video.
What is the peak watt?
1000W continuous with 2000W surge
