This Licitti design checks a lot of boxes for me. Great great unit with huge power capacity at an economical price point. Sadly the deal breaker for me is the solar charging capacity. Even with the bypass mod you did, it cannot be fully charged on a good solar day. Here in Texas with all the storms I have I would not want take a chance with this unit. I'm happy with my Ecoflow stuff and now am waiting for my EG4 battery and inverter to add to my emergency back up. Great video and great information. Thank you for sharing your hard work and information with us.
I picked up an ecoflow delta pro with 2 extra batteries refurbished,directly from ecoflow with 10,800 wh for 38.6 cents a wh. Looks like brand new, too.
Pretty expensive for refurbished. But if it works good then you got a good deal.
@ .69 - .75 per wh new, I think that is a fantastic price for the same thing, charges to 100% capacity, works and looks like brand new and a 2 year warranty. @@brucey5585
@@brucey5585 - Curious, how is 38.6 cents/wh expensive for refurbished, especially when refurbished means it's been gone through, updated and certified to meet specs + comes with a warranty(?)
@stevedesmarais7182 - Couldn't agree more, it's very tough to beat some of the awesome factory refurbished deals that are out there, especially on the plug and play units.
@@__WJK__ it's the same buying a motor for your car or truck...remanufactured is better because they fix the flaw...rebuilt they just redo what broke
Wow, there are just so many choices these days. I just put together a marine (intended for trolling motors) battery box with a spiral grid 12v 90 A/H SLA and an 8 amp MPPT controller for my 12 volt portable requirements. ( I use a set of 100watt folding EcoWorthy 12v panels) This is of course in addition to my roof mounted solar panels feeding two 100 A/H LiFePO4 batteries in my home system, and my two Jackery power packs (500w and 1500w.)
If I had known about this unit sooner... LOL Thanks for the review!! 👍
Wow its very efficient! And you can jump start a car or easily extended battery capacity with any ole battery.
44 cents a watt hour 3000w inverter/ 3kwh capacity. so many positives with this unit but really disappointed in the solar intake. This is purely a generator/battery pack meant for a short term period 24-48 hours. Its a great option for those needing something to run their refrigerator during short power outages. Id say its the best choice on the market in terms of efficiency and price. Good review 👍
I would think you could use multiple solar charge controllers to make it charge way better off of solar. Of course, you could just use a 100 amp one with plenty of solar panels too. The only downside to me is the solar input limits. I would rather them remove that for a small discount and just use my own. But that is a lot of power for the price. I bought one of their dc power boxes and it took about 2 or 3 weeks to arrive. It actually came in and works great. Looks identical to the timeusb branded one for a third of the timeusb price. Not sure if timeusb still sells it or not.
Question; It seems I saw a video that said if you connect for example a 100 amp battery to a 300, it favors the lower amps? Something like that? I know many times I have seen companies say not to mix battery sizes. Is it different because it’s plugged in vs being wired in? I’m not questioning your knowledge because I am just trying to learn to build my own, or buy one of these, many thanks
It’s an interesting unit. It fits between a EF Max 2 and Pro but is still different.
It kinda checks the boxes for all who don’t want to buy proprietary expansion batteries but still have an expandable full service solar generator. That’s technically ME.
What concerns me the most is the 1 year warranty. That compares to 5-7 years of top brands.
As well as the 2000 cycle life, which compares to 3500-4000 cycles.
But then the price is very competitive if you compare it to a EF Max 2
We always have to weigh these pros and cons for our personal needs.
I just bought a portable solar generator and want to buy solar panels to charge it. I would like to have at least 2 charging points coming from the same solar panels. Are there are any "distribution boxes" or something of the sort that will allow me run cables from the solar panels to different rooms and allow me change which charging point is active at any given time?
Can you add a battery to the Blue Etti eb70s for extra wh
How many amps can you pull from an outlet? The reason I ask, is I don’t see a 30 amp plug, for rv use, which is what I need, thanks
I love the Licitti plan and idea, BUT - I got their first generation 2kwh box, 2000 watt model. You could NOT put a 200ah battery in it unless you built one. It arrived with the back panel screws solidly bent up in it, and they broke off removing them and no one answered my emails. I know that they are trying, but without a vertical SLIP FIT expansion case you are so limited to what you can do to it. If they would respond to me I could show them the fix and how great building one can be but its into the nether world the email goes!
Maybe I missed it in the video but how long would solar take to charge it from 0-100% using the 25v maximum input? I have an enclosed cargo trailer that I’m looking to add power to and wondering if this would be a good option. Thanks for your time.
Just using the built-in CC, it'd take a LONG time...probably about 3-3.5 days of decent sun for a full charge. That's why I'd strongly recommend, if you plan to rely heavily on solar recharging, you by-pass the internal CC and connect an external CC (or even 2 - depending on your solar output). Those DC inputs make it super simple to do.
man I just bought the 2k box, also yeah, I added my own solar controller through the 50A Anderson port.
11:00 ish So it won't hold 12 volts under load??
I wish these were made by a more honest company. The features and build quality are awesome but I had so many compliants about Licitti from my viewers. They paid for the product and nothing ever showed up so I eventually removed my Licitti battery box video from CZcams. Maybe they improved in the last 6 months? You'll have to see how your viewers report their experience.
These are super cool battery boxes and they keep getting more features. Thanks for the great breakdown.
I've reviewed 4 Licitti products now over the past year or so and I've definitely not ever had anyone tell me they paid and didn't get their product. Really the only complaint I've heard was one guy who felt the SOC indicator was not accurate. And I suspect he didn't realize that you need to long press the right arrow button after it's been fully charged from time to time to recalibrate it.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors my video was posted exactly a year ago so maybe they have changed up their system? Glad to hear you haven't seen any complaints 👍 that's great news
@Jasonoid I mean, that's not a trivial accusation. If there were any evidence that they were being dishonest and cheating people, they'd have to know that we would publicly call them out on it and warn people to steer clear. My contact at Licitti seems like a stand up guy. Definitely not trying to pull something over on people. And for my part, as I'm sure you're aware, since theres not even an affiliate program, there's no incentive to recommend these products other than the simple fact that I find them to be an interesting budget alternative.
Do you get the voc when it's nighttime? 23 vs 25 is cutting it close in an area that experiences cold
Was definitely not ideal/direct sun conditions when I took the reading so I knew it'd measure below 20. But you raise a good point about when it's really cold and really sunny...it probably would be cutting it pretty close in those conditions.
These are appealing for long-term repairability, including replacing the battery inside. I just got a nice Delta 2 and like it a lot, but sealed and polished turnkey solutions bother me in that I can't swap out an old battery with a new battery in 5-10 years.
Eco flow claim it will last 10 years but only give 5 year warranty..so it's not guaranteed to work for that long
Can you help me find a connector between an Ironman 4x4 solar panel 120W to a Jackery solar generator power station (Jackery Exlorer 290). I tried ordering on Amazon twice and gotten the wrong thing each time. Thank you
I'd be happy to help you. A couple of challenges though - Jackery doesn't specify the connector type on the E290...but from the pictures, I THINK it is a DC7909. I looked up the IM4x4 120W listing on Amazon and it also does not show or spec any connector types - though it does mention an Anderson connector (I'm just not sure if that's the native connector or an adapter they supply. In any case, assuming that the Anderson connector (little red and black side-by-side squares) is one option...this cable should work (again, assuming the E290's connector is actually a DC7909...and you could probably confirm that with Jackery techsupport through email): amzn.to/3L4eFr0
Thank you for your help. In your video I was able to look at Anderson plugs. I will be able to cut off the required 8mm connector to my Jackery 290 and replace the small square connector to the Anderson connector to my solar panel cords.
"We're not going to test UPS mode because this doesn't have switch-over relays."
Well, if you can feed AC/DC in and get AC out at the same time, you have what effectively amounts to a double-conversion UPS. The only switch/relay in those is a bypass for service when the UPS has to be taken offline.
Thanks for the clarification! :)
You'd think for >$1,600 they'd get the master switch straight. Call me picky or whatever, but attention to detail is very indicative of their commitment to (or lack of concern for) quality.
That was actually my fault. :P When I made the comment at the end about making sure you open the box in front of the delivery guy to check for damage before you accept delivery - that's actually because mine did have damage - DHL or whoever it was, apparently dropped it...hard...and the damage was not visible due to the outer layer of foam on the box. Some of the top components were damaged and Licitti sent me a replacement top piece - and I failed to get the disconnect switch perfectly aligned before I had gotten it all swapped out and buttoned-up before I noticed.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors oh; well good on them. I take back my negative thoughts.
They did a DC only version, but I cant see it offered as an option anymore, Oddly enough, if you look at the pictures of the product, you will see it there.
Yeah, I was curious about that too. Maybe they're out of stock on those and removed the option from the drop-down list for the time being?
Last year I contacted them via email and they said they would build me a box with whatever specifications I wanted. Thought that was pretty good because I was looking for more 12V ports as I buy 12V appliances for emergencies.
I would be very Leary of this. My experience with the battery box was poor. Low quality parts that never worked correctly (bad shunt). Customer support was garbage. They refused to send the correct parts and the parts they did send also did not work. Finally after filing a dispute with PayPal I did receive my money back but I never got a refund from the company. PayPal had to refund me.
Thanks for sharing this info...
Not a bad "but" considering how the all-in-one name brand units have come down in price (or can be found at factory refurbished prices) $1000 bucks is a bit steep, especially considering it's not plug & play + there's no 30A RV connection :'(
Does it come with a battery
Yes. 300Ah 3840Wh
Think I'll stick with Oupes Mega 2.
I really enjoy yiur channel and videos, thanks
The solar charge is a max of 25 volts? If I heard that right its pretty much useless. Should take about 2 weeks to charge it.
Yeah thats why I commented on it 2 or 3 times. Not a deal breaker for everyone though, especially since you can connect a much more powerful external charge controller if you need to.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors I know its just a pet peeve of mine. The more sun juice the more you can run during the day w/o killing the battery's for night time. When you start getting into these higher capacity's it just makes more sense to use 24,36 or 48 volt systems. If the battery was 24 v instead of 12 it just opens up charging times.
2000 cycles at 80% DOD is pretty awful for that price. is it the nonstandard ports that make it useful? just... not seeing it.
I have a licitti battery box. They say it has a warranty. Try to get ahold of someone. It’s impossible. They have no phone # and don’t answer emails. Nonexistent service. Stay away.
CZcams is insane. They keep deleting my comments. Why?
Let's try a third time...
Basically, you can make a do-it-yourself unit for a fifth of the price using excellent pre-fab parts these days.
Were you posting links in your comment? They definitely don't allow that.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors I linked to a CZcams video from another battery guy. Figured it shouldn't be a problem. But after that I pulled the link and just described his DIY project. That got deleted twice despite me double-guessing what was tripping up the algorithm and trying different wordings.
Finally gave up and just kept it short and vague.
I find more than half of my YT comments are arbitrarily deleted these days.
Makes you wonder how many people try commenting but fail. (You don't even realize your comment is gone unless you reload the page. Based on my track record, there's only a fifty percent chance that this response will even post.)
Anyway, I liked your video. I hope you see this.
Cheers!
