You know what really grinds my gears? When big companies like Anker uses kickstarter for market size and potential research purposes, while also getting funding for their own r&d of the thing they want to create, when they could simply afford it themselves, thus making smaller startups and creators much harder to find and value.
I agree but i gues thats just business
Even Philips has done it for some sleeping earphones, which I don't understand at all. Huge international company relying on kickstarter like some novice start-up, it kinda makes me wonder what's going on.
It's a relatively risk free version of market research, where you could also potentially get customers and funding for R&D, all for the low-low cost of setting up a kickstarter page with some rendered designs, as opposed to doing the market research in the old fashioned way which would be more costly and less indicative of real market penetration later on. Still, big companies doing this makes my stomach turn, and I hate that this has become business as usual.@@Tomazack
I do not understand your aversion to a company trying to reduce their risk? Putting it on kickstarter allows them to gauge if there is a market for this type of product and for the customer to know that they will get an actual product in the end. It is not the R&D (that has been done you see the product is already created) It is more how much they should invest in manufacturing at scale.
How does this really impact smaller startups and creators?
@@tisjesterexactly my thoughts!
There's an important figure that Jerry didn't mention - Runtime, aka "how long till the juice runs out". If the house is using 800W of power, and the battery has 3.8kWh of stored energy, that's a max runtime of only about 4 hours (You can see the remaining time on screen at about the 5:11 mark). Definitely something to keep in mind if you want to use this as a backup for any extended period of time.
There are more cost-effective ways to do this with inverters and standalone batteries but the tradeoff is ease of installation. This setup certainly offers more portability - If you're going camping or need power elsewhere you can always lug this Anker unit along for the ride, though I expect that it weighs around 100 pounds or so.
Thanks for your info👌
Not to mention that they only had 200 slots available for the 45% off early bird special and they sold out within just over an hour of it being online.
Its a paid advertisement video for anker. U expect him to be honest? 😂
@@anekinoo7 i dont see dishonesty, just not too detail
Don't forget the well pump that bumped it to over 2,000W.
I'm sure they appreciate having this backup in case there's a power outage, and they'll appreciate the solar panels on the roof later even more.
solar inverter will turn off though when the grid goes down.
research different frequency of backup solutions compared to the grid - and why inverters turn off when a standalone backup (can also be a diesel generator doesnt have to be a battery) is active.
there are (expensive) solutions around this issue.
Solar panels are going to totally destroy how good that roof looks.
just get the solar panels with the battery shown on this episode or get a jackery with panels on prime day, no need to put anything on the roof.
@@latrofuo
@@ChrisHolzerif he just runs the solar to the battery then it wont matter about the inverter. As the battery system wont accept more with a 100% load as it has an internal inverter. But i see 800 watts 3.5 hours hes going to need 2500 atleast to keep the battery charged but what about overnight he needs an extention battery of maybe 1-2 for a full night on backup
Props to you for walking back and forth in the attic to set up the camera and then come back for the cables. A lot of time and effort for B-roll

Awesome piece of kit and for outlying farms and rural houses this could be a life saver
That sounds like a great product! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is also a versatile and powerful backup power solution. It offers massive capacity, fast recharging, and a durable waterproof design. It could definitely be a valuable tool for rural houses and outdoor adventures.
The system would be perfect, if the switch to the grid happens when the battery is under for e.g. 20%. So a even charge/discharge can happen. If the breaker could do this with a signal to the power station that would be really usefull.
Gotta get a hydraulic app controlled switch separately lol
You can do that with a more-DIY system using what's called a Hybrid inverter. It's a bit more work than just plugging in this unit.
Aka their smart panel
Zack! The fullstack DIY man. All around great video 👍🏽
Cmon, Zack... You know US... We NEED more number on this thing.! As someone planning to move into a van, I dont wanna do the whole installation thing, I need me one of these massive power banks and just charge it at the gym or anywhere else...
Zack you need to come to South Africa again. because of our load shedding there are massive amounts of people installing Solar solutions at homes and businesses. along wiht that there are many people who cant do pannels so are only doing inverters and batteries. to a point where the city I live in (Pretoria) announced today that there has been a 35% decrease in revenue from Electricity due to the amount of people doing Solar solutions. I think there would be a fair amount of content for you here that you could make quite a few videos on. plus we have seen your drone videos we know you love it here.
@JerryRigEverything - You need to check the main neutral(grey insulated wire in the middle), I seen some charring, which normally means its loose and need an insulated Allen to tighten it up, Like ASAP!
This is a truly fascinating thing. In combination with only a few solar panel there are no worry for electricity. Thumbs up for those videos. It's very helpful!
Thanks Zack! I have been planning doing this.
around here there are a few ranchers using solar water pumps to day pump into a tank, then a much smaller pump to go from the tank to the house or other water needs.. that first 100' of lift vs 10' make a big difference in consumption it seems
I am surprised they do not just use a solar water pump to lift it to a tank that is elevated - thus storing that energy (You know like all municipalities do?) No smaller pump needed at that point. Let gravity be your pump..
I guess a ground level tank is cheaper and easier to deal with?
The GOAT eyes scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7.
Isn’t anker big enough now to release a product without doing a kickstarter? 🙄
? Large companies use Kickstarter to gauge the market and see how viable a product is. Manufacturing at scale is a risky endeavor and this allows them to reduce that risk.
@@tisjester and that is what has ruined kickstarter.
Anker sure advertises like they are in company with the big dogs. These things *are not cheap* either. That'd much would buy a nice dual fuel inverter generator with a ton of money left for fuel and run a lot more amps than these roll around 'battery pack' with inverter.........not to mention time to recharge the behemoths.
@@avflyguy Generators require regular maintenance, and are only useful for outages. Plus a system like this if you have a good solar setup good power your house FOREVER compared to a generator which is 3 days realistically with fuel. As for the "run more amps" no clue why you would even mention that when the video shows 240v as well as pulling 6k watts with no issue ( with even a higher surge ~8,000 probably ) most generators top out at around this range anyway.
Generators still are better for those on a budget (
getting $$$ up front man, its all greed at the risk of the investor!
Great job on the video Zack! Thanks for making it. You're a good son-in-law to have.
Great Video Jerry!! Thanks again.
Dude, that Kickstarter is roaring after this video was uploaded. The JerryRig Midas Touch! One day, i will afford this power bank.
Hey thx Zach will check it out for family.
These battery system has gotten so good.
We want more videos like this
super unique = extremely one of a kind
Just orderd one. Hope it arrives soon.
Your videos always have a GOAT up close! 😁
Great video. Thanks
This is very useful for a hurricane or any natural disaster for help your family to charge its devices even to keep using wifi without electricity, it’s very useful for that purposes.
Thanks for the content!
Hey Zach, huge follower of your stuff. I saw a blurb on their kickstarter about connecting to an existing solar panel system. Hoping you can have a video showing how to connect that to this battery so that I can add power to the Anker from those panels. Thanks
Just what we needed for our off grid camp!
I just backed a f3800! I pulled the trigger on a F2000 with a 400w panel last night before I saw this. 😅
this is dope and actually fairly reasonably priced. Would go perfect with my solar panels on the roof but I've yet to lose power in the 3 years in my house, but it sure is enticing tbh
its NOT a store, product is NOT guaranteed.. its a RISK investment where total loss is a possibility... read the TOS
@@TheRusschannelbut whats its price?
@@riturajrath6288 $2600
Thanks for the video ❤
What a wonderful place to live, made better by your upgrade. 👍
Nice video Jerry , the only question i have is about that cable that passes the attick , doesn't need (metallic) protection in case is overheating , i mean you have there wood and insulation.
Baby goats sound so cute.
You are the most kindest son in law ❤️🥰
Great job sir
Step 1: Buy a house
Good luck in this economy
Great work
in germany we have 2 special contactors that automatically disconnect the house from the grid when the power goes out and switch to the battery to supply the house with 3 phase energy. Tesla Powerwall is kinda stupid because its just 1 phase emergency power (except if you buy 3 lol) but its enough to prevent your fridge from melting.
powerwall is built for american markets where everything is single phase. 3 phase power supplies adds a lot of complexisty particuarly in just syncing up those 3 sinusoids.
@@literallycanadian definitely built for america. Its just popular in europe because of the brand. But its kinda cool to install as an electrician because it mixes the american and european electricity system
@@Drogenkurier88 The powerwall only supports 1-phase? That's really strange, especially since their L2 wall chargers are 400v 3-phase.
Thanks for the info was wondering how people hook up the power banks.
Thanks you Jerry
Last week you did complete PHD in apple iphone 15 pro.
Now Sir I'm looking full case study for Pixal 8 And Pixal 8 Pro Too...
I wish you never disappoint us🤛🏻
Great video!
I know I'm watching an ad but it's a damn good ad.
An awesome one indeed
The early bird gets the worm but it's always the second mouse that gets the cheese.
you should have an automatic transfer switch instead, then when the mains power goes down it automatically switches to the backup source. No flipping required. They use that in most larger buildings here in the UK and I'm sure its the same in teh US, just with different voltage and frequency but the same idea
Why does anker need a kickstarter they already have enough money
Protection
in case not enough buyers i think
Good stuff!
I wonder if they ship to Brazil?
And can you share info on the solar panels ?
Thank you!
Just fantastic!!!
0:07 I now know why people call Naruto the Goat, it's because he has the eyes of one. 😂😂😂

3;05 on point @jerry
Id want to know if this can be used as a UPS for your house with an automatic transfer switch. Itd be nice to have all essentials stay running in an outage without ever having to touch anything.
You didn't mention if the transfer switch wires had the circuit numbers printed on them. I know last install you mentioned you had to take it apart to trace the wires. I'm assuming this time you saw the numbers on the wires?
With 3.8 kWh it’s only going to run a few hours for a full house before giving up and can’t handle big loads like heating and cooling. If this simplifies a solar setup that would be nice, but I can’t recommend to the rural folks I know who need a longer lasting solution.
Glad to live in The Netherlands, no power outage EVER 😂
Gotta love those cardboard homes. So much easier to install stuff.
Hey it works for N America, and PassivHaus has proven they can be efficient and affordable, so, all good.
As opposed to... what, exactly? Home walls are always made of drywall...
@@coredumperror in USA that might be. In EU hardly any are. It's brick, Concrete or GIBO
They also burn easily when it caught fire.
Wow. Pretty cool. Not sure why Anker needs a kickstarter program.
Eco Flow Delta Pro Generator is a Amazing Home Back up system that is expandable. Another option for people who are interested.
After Anker refused to honor their warranty on a pair of nearly new earbuds, I refuse to touch any Anker products ever again. There are tons of alternatives
I'd love to see some usage and estimate time before it runs out. I know it's all depends on load but been thinking about a whole house generator but something like this would be a better solution
How do you think this is a better solution than a whole home generator? This won't run your entire home, much less for an entire day. My generator will run my entire home and shop and starts up automatically if I'm not home.
I'm guessing you need a much more efficient home and a bigger battery? We have utilities now looking to buy these kinds of systems to provide uninterrupted dispatchable power to residential customers in the US Canada and in Australia....but sure, you can run a diesel stinkpot or wood stove for your energy needs if you want to pollute, just no need to piss on Jordan's dream here. @@freighter1097
@@freighter1097 > This won't run your entire home
Uh, yeah it will? Maybe not for an entire day, but that'd depend on your load. If the water pump isn't running, Zach showed that the system was pulling 800W. To run an entire home at 800W for 24 hours, you'd need a ~20 kWh battery. Which Zach mentioned is a size option for this power bank. I doubt it's cheap, but you also never need to buy (and maintain!) a diesel generator and fuel, or ever spew co2 into the atmosphere.
@@coredumperror You're going to tell me that this thing will replace my 200 amp service, let alone the 100 amp service to my shop? No, it isn't. Yes, I could string multiple units together and have several of them and several batteries to accomplish this. Or I could let my auto start natural gas generator do the job for weeks on end. It doesn't need to be plugged in and charged. Hell this thing wouldn't run my tankless water heater.
@@freighter1097 You're vastly overestimating how much energy you actually use in a typical day, let alone in power-outage conservation conditions.
Will a battery backup system last as long as a well-stocked generator? No (unless you pair it with a bunch of solar). Have you ever actually needed your generator for a solid week of blackout conditions? I'd be quite surprised.
I'll love this for my startup, but the price gave me chills.
My solution for these cases has always been battery backup.
I use a set of 12 Volt 100 Ah marine batteries. They are Lead-acid batteries with carbon-reinforced electrodes, so that the formation of lead sulphate do not kill the batteries.
I use a pure sine wave 6 KVA inverter and a separate 3 KW charger, which can accept power from the grid, from solar cells and a wind turbine.
The inverter and the charger are much more robust than a power bank, and the marine batteries last typically for ten years of service, and never set off fires like the lithium batteries sometime do.
For a big agricultural house, it is easy to convert the backup system from one phase to three phases while keeping the same batteries.
Marine Lead Acid batteries are the way to go.
Thank you for the great video!
Regards from the UK,
Anthony
worth noting, that LIFE batteries, as these ones are, are much less likely to burn and combust into fire. You can find various videos about this on youtube these batteries are practically rocks compared to lipo batteries.
Im sure you could get them to burn if you really tried but im also certain that the acid inside those batteries is not particularly healthy for one either. It's also worth considering that lead acid batteries tend to produce hydrogen when charging, which isnt a problem with sealed batteries but there are always concerns.
Lithium iron phosphate batteries are so cheap now that it's becoming the clear choice considering lifespan and power density over lead acid. You can get 100 amp hour LFP batteries for nearly the same cost as lead acid now.
@@andrewt9204 though tbf if you can get your hands on similar lead acid technology for a better price power density is not a concern with stationary storage. You can pretty easily build a little shack to house tons of storage.
LFP batteries are definitely better for home storage. They're fire safe and have pretty good energy density and cost.
FYI, from what i can find out on this unit, it cannot be charged fromn the grid while in 240v mode, so if you plan to use it for battery backup for your house, it takes alot more manual effort than other solutions which can often switch automatically to battery when the power goes out, some solutions even switch fast enough that sensitive electronics like computers dont even shut off.
Do you mean like the Zender Super Base V? Does this Anker unit have pure sine wave?
@@keslee7036 I'm not sure the Zendure does AC charging+discharge +240v either off the top of my head.
Great share video happy day
This is a wonderful video.
Great video review, thank you! Can you help identify best solar panels to use with this unit besides the portable ones due to the limited 60V solar input? On some reviews I’ve seen they using the F3800 unit with 3 panels in parallel that are LG 365W each. 47.7VOC, 9.39Imp total of 28.17 amps potential using two 3 panel strings to connect of the F3800. Any thoughts if these will work?
Could you durability test the Nokia 2780? I was gonna buy one, but idk if it's fragile... Also. Love your videos.
Damn we have water a few meters deep everywhere in Eastern Europe and its drinkable ❤
Love the two-step in the attic... "I know there's a joist under all that fluff somewhere!"
Thanks, Zach!
Sweet!
These commercials for powerbanks all over youtube are just stupid.
They offer free stuff for positive reviews.
jerry will you do a pixel 8 durability test?
I have a previously installed Generac transfer switch we use with a portable gasoline/propane generator. I have been advised not to use it with the Anker, although I think one reason is it needs power to trip the switch or something I don’t know quite why. Seems it should work?
Hey Zack, I am looking forward for Pixel 8 Pro durability test.😊
Please let me know which portable power station is best to charge my 2023 Model Y?
I very much would like the option to use the transfer switch to use these larger capacity battery units to run a few things in the house if needed rather than running cords all over the house. Even if it only lasts a couple hours, it would be n firing up a loud gasoline generator.
So euhm Jerry, when are you going to share your workout routine? Chest looks massive in that walk-by shot. Haha! 2:09
This dude always delivers
Seeing wood houses from America is so strange, here in the Netherland you have the problem you need to drill everything or use a milling machine 😅😅
Not sure if you did this, but would you not use the grid to charge the Anker battery, then when power fails, Anker battery would switch on automatically to power house etc?
Doesnt look like he used an automatic transfer switch here, but such things are available.
nice casio f91w🔥 best watch ever
I want zach to make a comparison to all the batyery bank modules and and perhaps run the jerry rig humvee with it ? 🙈
Is that an automatic transfer switch? Doing this setup in the panel could be tricky, you need to turn off the main breaker from the grid before you can use power from battery, if power from grid goes off and you use battery then suddenly grid comes back on it could explode. Otherwise this is good product.
Definatley use Battery/solar whenever you can. When you pay back solar to grid its t 1/3 the rate.for example in Alberta Canada. My kwh is 12cents/kwh. But after fees I pay $0.25
Hey Zack, how do you know all this electrical grid stuffs?
I love how you helped the goats and promoted anker simultaneously
Could you also install an interlock kit on the main panel ?
Then no need for the generator panel
City boys. Sheesh. Goats are awesome, Zach. 🐐Northing to be scared of. They might eat just about anything not nailed down though, and some that is. Bet they love apple season like ours do.
Goats giving the perpetual side-eye.
Wow, I can't believe you fit this all in the six minutes... Including the goat commentary :-)
Can't wait for the solar project😊
I feel if ppl invest in this . Then charge it up before an approaching Typhoon.. and standby Portable Gas Stoves.. this power station could keep the fridge working in case of power grid down due to storms... And the gas stoves keep the cooking going.
Never been this early to Rig Everthing !!!!!!

I’m building an outdoor studio space. I wonder how often I would need to charge this. It may be cheaper than getting an electrician out. Lights, monitors, and an occasional ac/heater unit.
Just run an extension cord 💀
@@bigtitmasterExactly
Ac/heating on electricity won't work on a battery as they consume a lot of power.
It depends, heaters don't run full time, when they reach the temperature they just mantain it, much less energy spent. But if you have an opened window it will always run.
@@alexandruilea915 Eh. Heat pumps are efficient.
Okay so now we know how to extend battery life on electric cars in the middle of nowhere or on camping trips👍
Except that, sadly, the amount of juice in this is only going to add a couple handfuls of miles to your car's range.
@@campigenus With 3.8 kWh you'd be able to add ~25km range on a Tesla Model 3.
Bjørn Nyland actually uses power banks similar to this when he does his zero-mile EV tests. He drives the EVs until they simply stop, just to see how they perform and act when they run out, then he recharges them with a couple of large power banks.
