    I just bought three of these with the expansion batteries. The main unit is currently on sale for $899 with a 200w solar panel (I bought that deal). The expansion batteries are also on sale for about $550 each. I bought three of these so I could run my boiler and fridge which are in different locations in my house. I can charge the third unit to rotate with the two in use. In the dead of winter, I can put my food in a cooler and take it outside. I can piggy back all three of my units so I have heat. I could have bought the F3800 for the price, but the large transfer switch stopped me from wanting to do that. Not to mention, that unit would take a lot more panels to keep going. My units are also portable. I just wanted to get something with all of the hacking that is going on. I feel it is prudent to be safe rather than sorry.

    I've been trying to get into solar power with some power banks and saw this but needed more info because pictures alone didn't answer so many questions and you did a fantastic job answering about 95% of my questions. It was impressive how long it lasted with the fridge. I'm definitely considering this especially with the added app with total control. My only thing is I wonder how many of those extra batteries can you plug in.

    • @footprinthero

  • @DFragment-electronic-music
    @DFragment-electronic-music Před 7 měsíci +2

    Very informative video, thanks Alex. I assume the noise while charging is from a cooling fan? Since the fan needs to be in perfect condition while charging, is there a way to easily open the power station and clean the fan periodically?

    • @footprinthero
      @footprinthero  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yes from a cooling fan. Nah there's no easy way to open it unfortunately. It is possible but you need some specialized tools -- look at Adam De Lay's video for how he did it

Try using vicatron battery monitor which you connect to battery, so we how many watts are released when using the inverter.

    • @pawnstar365
      @pawnstar365 Před 3 dny +1

      If you have a wall outlet meter, your best bet is to plug the jbl ultimate into that and then plug it into the wall outlet in your house and blast that shit to the volumes you'll be playing at and the average wattage it displays you multiply until it meets the wh rating of this anker C1000. Technically it'd be like 840 wh due to the power factor variability of power stations so roughly 20% off the rated wh of the anker C1000. My jbl partybox 320 averages around 80 to 90 watts full blast which is nowhere near the rated 240 watts of power it says it uses which is good for me in case I take it camping or to the beach I can use it all day
