Last spring, you came back to a dead battery in your tiny home solar electric system. The problem was that a few days of no sun or snow cover allowed your battery to drain below the voltage for the integrated charger to start. For a fall project, I suggest you add a single solar panel side mounted on the south side of your tiny home, which is connected to a small secondary charger, which in turn, is connected to your main battery. That way, there is always a way for your batteries to charge to the level needed by your primary system. Like your videos.
Anker stuff is great. Been using their portable station and it’s the best I’ve had. Also their costumer service is the best from my experience.
That light is a helpful extra feature. Unit looks nice too. Hopeful to hear a follow-up report in a few months that it was everything you needed.✌️
Thanks for the info. That thing looks cool
Thanks for answering all of the questions that I had about this device. The biggest one being if you´re able to charge it from the lighter socket. As a truck driver I'm considering getting one of this to power small appliances without worrying about decharging the truck batteries, and also to be able to power more demanding stuff.
Since I spend most of the time driving, being able to charge it fom the lighter socket is an essential feature.
I had the same problem with the inverter turning off when my fridge idled for too long. Thanks for pointing out the temporary fix for that!
The Endless Adventure channel just did a great review on this also Nate. They love it. Thank you!
With a inverter like that you can actually get a small insta pot to do your cooking like you did in the other van
I hate 10 minute commercials. I do understand the reason though. :)
Can’t wait for u to get back on the road
That was fun.
I’ve been expecting to seen you change plans and head to the East coast for some surf due to the weather and surf cause by Lee which I suspect won’t hit Florida but could cause some waves!
Hi have you noticed any self discharge or drain of charge when the C1000 is fully switched off and allowed to stand for several days or longer?
Hey have you tried to plug in the 760 expansion pack into the c1000??
I wonder if it"s safe to charge it straight from the car battery?
It would be cool if you removed the window by the cab and the cab window so you could crawl through from the cab to under the topper.
Install like a rain guard above the crack
Or a roof rack that covers the entire truck and topper that would also provide shade
Like the idea of having extra shade. Especially in the summer in Florida!!
I just got my external battery hooked it up seen both the C1000 and C1000X app said I need a firmware update I did it says v1.43 now I can't see the C1000X is there a way to back FIRMWARE OUT ? DELEDTED APP AND REINSTALLED no luck Anker closed :(
What truck do u have there? Thx
The solar panels are installed upside down (4:14). Almost impossible to set it up as shown. I know as I tried and failed.
One thing I just noticed today. I want to charge my C1000 off of the AC Power outlet in my truck bed for when I go camping. The outlet is rated at 400 watts. I have the power station set to charge at 200 watts so it wouldn't pop a fuse on the truck but it will not charge. The C1000 just clicks. It will charge off of the 12 volt from the car charger inside but not the AC Power in the truck bed or inside the cab.
I’m confused don’t you have a bigger camper shell that you can stand up in? Do you still have it? If not what happened to it just wondering.
He addressed that at the end of the prior video.
@@sunshine3914some people. Forever asking questions instead of watching videos!
are the solar connections proprietary or can different brand panels be used?
It has an xt60 connector (which is very common) but you can get an xt60 to mc4 adapter, which is by far, the most common solar panel connectors.
I hope that helped.
@@JustScottPaid yeah I found that out . I' m not sure they didnt do that with the 2000 model. Maybe going forward all xt60
Wondering how you are liking this now that you have had a chance to use it for a month.
Is it a pure sine or modified sine wave inverter?
Pure
Direct shot at the Bluetti AC180.
I agree, and just about had my mind made up on the ac180 until I started seeing reviews on this little beast.
I'm going with the Anker now. 👍
I was about to buy the AC180 but I’m really liking the size and features of this Anker C1000. Anyone know how fast that solar panel will charge the unit?
@@MarioTheMusicMan600w max solar charge
This comment is for Anker. Anker if you’re listening, your web page for this deal with all its fancy display consistently crashed chrome on my updated iPad so that I could never see the deal or even follow the sign-up link that Nate describes. Maybe I would have been interested in a pre sale for next hurricane season. But now I’m just irritated.
So true! @Anker - please ditch the flashy gimmicks on the web site, it would be much more useful!
Mike
VTOMAN flash 1500 charges from 0 to 100 percent in 1 hour, 400 watts max on solar, 1500 watts and will peak at 3000 watts
Only load test you did is charging your phone and using the station as a night light?
Plenty of other great reviews!!
How long does it take for 0 to 100 using solar 200w panels
Any update on this question?
Do you need wifi to work with the app?
It can connect Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Does anyone know where Shannon is? haven't seen her
You haven't been watching then, have you?
Be nice for motorcycle camping
I’m not sure if I should buy this C1000 solar cell or run away from it. It sounds like a name for a Terminator. What if it becomes self-aware and tries to kill me?
How much is this power station after 25% discount. I want to used it on my electric bike. How long do you think it will travel when i travel on a flat ground with total 250lb include my body weight bike and that power unit?
Not sure they've announced final pricing on it as it not out yet. But the Bluetti AC180 is almost exactly the same specs and goes for $799 right now. With the 25% pre release
signup deal it might be $600 -700 which would be a great deal for a 1000 watt hr station.
👍
Sorry but you know there is something missing there that if you are on the road you do not have an outlet to plug into recharge. So you have to deal with the solar recharging capacity or capacity from your cigarette lighter outlet from your car
Oops, just finished watching video. Disregard my comment
I think I would feel more than hesitant of hauling something that size into a coffee shop and plugging into their power. As well, I'd feel equally hesitant about leaving a solar panel lying on top of my vehicle.
Charge at laundromats. Only have solar panels out when you are there with vehicle. It's all about good planning.
I’ve seen people plug in full blown monitors in coffee shops 😀 Don’t think most people will care if this is sitting under the table.
Pút it in a stroller and cover it. No problem
@@tennesseeterri Genius!
at only 1kwh the built in high watt inverter is kinda useless. 1kwh is just super small capacity for any overlanding or camping trip.
Where do you see these specs
Don't you worry that someone will steal the solar panels?
Worry? Who has time for that?
It's on a truck. How many trucks have you seen where the entire roof is visible? I know I haven't owned any
You might want to say it's built sturdy NOT bulky.

your post sounds like 95% of the other Anker advertisers. you have a truck with a mattress, nothing else that could disturb you in nature. and everything revolves around electricity? In the car you can charge your cell phone etc. for days on end. ...What was not efficient on your last trip?
Must be nice to get a 1000.00 dlr. power station for a 10 min video!
Must be torture to be around your negativity!
It’s cool but far from perfect! The C1000 dose not do pass through power. Which makes this device absolutely a no-go for vehicle travel. Plus one thing no-one talks about is the fact that even if you have portable solar unless it’s mounted to your vehicle you’re most often adventuring during the heat of the day. And you can’t or shouldn’t walk away from your exposed devices. Also, if you’re powering a refrigerator during the heat of the day, you have to turn it off to be charging your c1000 instead of keeping the food cold.
Well, other than that super important detail, it’s a dope ass battery
It does have pass through charging😂and I don’t understand what you mean about turning it off
@@zodaguado6655 pass threw charging is when you plugged into power source and using power stimulatingly. for example your C1000 is plugged into you're vehicle's 12v system or solar or inverter and charging wile running your fridge or other devises at the same time. my Ecoflow delta 2 will do that. That being said you have to shut off what ever your powering to charge the C1000. maybe that devise is your fridge and maybe its a hot day. think about it... if your not using your C1000 for this type of use then its awesome.
@@bremer12345 it’s called bypass by Anker,,, it can charge while running a refrigerator bro…. It’s their version of pass thru charging
@@zodaguado6655welp, when I owned my C1000 that feature didn’t work so returned it. And bought the ecoflow delta 2. Better suited for my needs. Bro….
Everything is perfect that you get through a sponsorship, shouldn't you sing praises AFTER you put it through its paces?
🙄the complainers on here today!! Enough to send anybody bonkers!! Give it up!!
As someone who isn’t sponsored by Anker, and own both the 767 and the 1000, I CAN tell you what he is saying is very accurate. My little 1000 runs my coffee maker, my window a/c unit, my small electric heater as well as 4 outlets for my phone, ipad, headlamps, hot wire fence charger etc….. i
