The case is much bigger inside than advertised. With about 2 inches all the way around my Bluetti EB3A. I was all ready to raise h#ll, when I noticed my original Bluetti box still had the high-quality top and bottom foam clam pieces. I put them in this carry bag and was AMAZED. They fit like they were made for it. PERFECT. And of course the EB3A WAS made to fit the foam perfectly. Now it's exactly centered and balanced. If you too own an EB3A and have the original box and foam, definitely buy this bag.
This is a very nice heavy duty extension cable to connect our camper van to the 50 Amp outlets. The cable has 8 AWG wire with a thick insulated coating to protect the wires from damage. It is easy to roll up and unroll and is not too heavy considering that it is such a heavy duty extension cable. It comes with a nice carry handle that makes carrying and storing the cable easy. The male plug has a handy pull handle that makes plugging and unplugging easy. The screw locking mechanism is the same as on our camper and fits perfectly. The plug is ETL listed but not UL listed. This is a good quality extension cord that should serve our needs for many years to come.
WOW, I’m impressed! It met all specs, 3000 Watts continuous AND 6000 Watts inrush. I did a full evaluation. Beautiful sine wave, not just at idle but also at full load (shown in picture). I tried circular saws, angle grinders, shop vacs and space heaters, right up to 288 DC amps input continuous with 25.38 amps at 119 vac out = 3020 watts! Fans come on when load increases and not overly noisy, less than 50 db @ 1 foot 19.9khz. Fan won’t come on immediately below 500 watts or until it gets hot. At 250 watts the fan may never need to turn on. An electric blanket or T.V. Probably won’t start the fan. The fans being on should be a subtle reminder that you are pulling power and using your battery. More specs; Weight less than TEN POUND! Frequency at idle 59.9 Hz and at full load 59.8 Hz. Idle current 24Watts or 1.8 amps. Indicated DC voltage is actually .050 lower than actual. Use a tie straps to secure the terminal protectors, don’t sandwich the plastic to attach the cable lugs. Provided cables are 50mm2 (equivalent to #1AWG) vinyl jacket makes it look bigger. This should be sufficient for most but it should be noted that it will get hot at sustained full rated load and will account for 1/4 volt loss at the inverter’s terminals when loaded and when the battery is low it could cause a low voltage shut down that little bit earlier. Since the inverter is so good for the price point I won’t take a star away. For a good install and any length of distance longer than cables provided, use 4/0 cables and 400 T class slow blow fuse and BlueSea holder. For LifePO4 batteries you will need; one battery with a high quality BMS rated at least 300 amps OR two batteries, each with 200 amp bms’s in PARALLEL to attain full power potential of this inverter. For lead acid perhaps one large battery (high cranking current) may work but it will be depleted much faster than lithium. Be sure to “pre-charge” before connecting even if it’s turned off. A simple filiment light bulb will work.
This was a Christmas present for my husband! He says it charges his phone really quick it's nice and compact doesn't weigh too much. Haven't really used it for too much more but it charged the phone within an hour and a half. Gets a little warm while charging but the fan never came on. So far the charge has lasted.
Here’s a revised, simpler version for your review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Easy to Use and Reliable! This MPPT 60A solar charge controller is super easy to set up—definitely plug-and-play. The display is clear and gives all the important information at a glance, like solar input, battery charge, and load. It works exactly as expected and has been running smoothly in my off-grid system. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, efficient charge controller, this one does the job perfectly! Let me know if this fits better!
My past reviews got into the weeds a little bit and am not going to do that any more. It really boils down to a few things. First, is how close panels as we use them get to their rated output which is achieved under standard test conditions. Those conditions are difficult to control in the wild where they are normally used. Second is price. A third might be any weak spots in construction/design. Power-- This panel produced a steady output of 167 watts which is just under 84% of rated output in full sun. The highest observed value was 172 watt after dribbling cold water on the face of the panel to cool it down. Price-- usually in the $1 per rated watt range. At $200, this is relatively normal, but with these higher efficiency panels, you get more value for your money. I suggest looking for deals where the price per watt is <$1 unless some specialty application is desired. Weak spots-- I have about 4 of this flex type that get moved around a lot and all have failed where the cables connect to junction box on the front of the panel. I have a 200w portable folding panel with the same type of connection and that failed, too. The connection can be restored by clamping and when applying an adhesive, care must be taken to avoid contaminating the contacts. Note: this is the same type of connection used on rigid panels. It does not fail because of the rigidity of the panel. The potential for failure just comes with the territory with a flex panel. This panel's size is something to consider. All of these flex panels need some reasonable support to avoid damage. Weight- these panels lend themselves well to transport. Their ETFE coated surface will be durable. Many overlook and fault panels (or the charger) for a lack of understanding of how the state of charge of the battery, especially lead acid, affects the rate at which it will accept charging current. A Lead Acid battery near full charge is not going accept the same charge rate as the same battery that is at <80% charged. So, where you might expect a 10 amp panel to produce 10 amps, that isn't always going to happen. In my opinion, the most efficient charging use of these high wattage panels is with LiFePo4 batteries where they will charge at maximum capacity of the charger until about 95% charged.
We've only had it two days but it seems awesome so far. Charge it with hone, car, or solar. It has 120v, usb, esbc, and 12 cigarette lighter outputs. You don't have to a ac and dc on at the same time but you can. The display is bright & easy to read. A sturdy built-in handle to go to the beach or carry to picnics. Rubber feet on the bottom to protect surfaces. It arrived with 59% charge & didnt take unreasonably long to reach 100% on a 120v outlet. It feels like a loaded picnic basket when carrying, not too heavy. We haven't put a big load on it yet but it's made zero noise while charging small devices. Only time will tell about durability & long term usage but it's promising.
Great product easy set up , the only thing I have seen in other reviews was its was a pain to prime but really its not bad at all . Follow the directions on the side of the water jug an your golden .
I recently bought a 1000 W Jackery. Although it appears to have an onboard transformer to charge from 120V AC, I prefer to have an external transformer to recharge the unit. This kit does the job, and conveniently has that all-important adaptor to fit multiple applications.
Tough quality. Nice carry handle. Bright light. Definitely great for a power outage. Has a strobe light, solid light, bright, medium and low. Charging ports. Fast Charging. Not bulky. Great battery pack. About the size of a water bottle.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Solar to XT60i Extension Cable 10AWG 10FT XT60i Female to Male Connector for RV Foldable Solar Panel, Portable Power Station, Solar Generator PERFORMANCE – I am impressed by the quality of the Vansdon XT60i cable, the quality of connection, insulation quality braid of the wiring reflects quality. Cheap cables equal poor performance and power loss. Don’t cheat yourself by purchasing inferior products. Good quality cabling is not a luxury when it comes to a solar system. Quality cables quickly pay for themselves. I highly recommend this wiring and connectors. UNBIASED - tugapower.net Vine reviewers are not paid for reviews, be it positive or negative. I will never recommend a product I would not buy myself. I treat ALL vendors with respect and fairness but my duty is to You, the tugapower.net customer. I am an tugapower.net customer too. I have every reason to be sincere in my reviews. If it is junk or treasure my reviews will reflect the products, I give my word of honor. I don’t want any reviews of mine to read like an ad but anyone who has written reviews knows, it is hard to not get sucked into writing in that style, if it is a great product and most are, then we are so enthused about the products and want to scream it to everyone, “Hey, this is a great product”. So in my view, that is why some reviews may sound like ads. I want to say, I encourage you as an interested customer, to ask me questions about the product and I will do my very best to answer each and every one of you. tugapower.net reviewers can write our views anyway we feel about any product; all we wish to do is help. A reviewer on a social platform often states, “He does not trust tugapower.net Reviews”. The gentleman is a great reviewer and makes very high quality content, however in this case I disagree strongly. tugapower.net reviews are dependable and useful. However, use common sense the lower the number of reviews the less accurate the score is. Products that are “tugapower.net Choice” have always been a winning selection for me. The tugapower.net review scoring system, lets you know what customers and reviewers like and dislike about the product you are considering purchasing. I cannot state this enough but tugapower.net Vine reviewers have no reason or encouragement to favor or disfavor any product. Reviews are not edited by tugapower.net, unless they violate community policy, for example profanity etc., tugapower.net does not edit reviewers. The comment about tugapower.net reviews being questionable is somewhat debatable. I assume the comment made by the non-tugapower.net reviewer is referring to tugapower.net Vine reviews. I can’t speak for no one but myself, but if the day would ever come that I thought I was obligated to writing ads, I would move on. tugapower.net knows the value of customer satisfaction and wants to weed out any products that do not live up to advertising claims. Again if you have a question, please let me help.
I'm working on a project right now; one of the things I needed was a generator cutoff box. This isolates your backup generator power source from other components of the electrical system. When I saw this heavy-duty box with a large, positive throw switch, I thought it would work. I ordered it. When it arrived, I looked it over. There were no surprises; it would do what I wanted it to do. It was made of heavy duty steel and the internals were also solid and clearly labeled. There were good instructions, too. I prepared a generator plug and cord, and then I laid out and screwed down the cutoff box and the electical panel it would attach to. Then, I started wiring it. A bit of a struggle was the knockout plugs; sometimes those can be a pain, and these were no different. The plugs can be many sizes, from small to very large. I needed the small plugs removed for romex connectors. I managed, installed the needed romex connectors, and then I inserted the wires. The box is clearly labeled for LOAD and LINE; where LINE is the power source, and LOAD goes toward the appliances. If you aren't sure how to wire this, you can always call an electrician. After the generator wire was ready, I ran the wire to the small utility box and attached the leads to another circuit breaker; this isolates generator power from the household circuit. It's redundant on purpose. You do not want generator power to backfeed your primary power source; you must keep them separate. This is why, in addition to the very positive large switch on this box, I also put a dedicated circuit breaker in the house box. To power the house buss bar from the generator, you have to choose to close two switches. You cannot power the household buss using your backup generator without closing these switches; therefore, you must also act to isolate grid/other power from the box by opening (turning off) the master power circuit breaker. While you can mess this up, you have to try really hard. Then, I tested the circuit with a multimeter. I closed (turned "on") the big, orange lever on the generator control box, then I closed the 220 breaker on the house box. While my generator is 110, I used a 220 breaker on the household box so that the generator would power both legs of the buss. I tested for continuity between the plug and the buss on the household box; see my attached picture. It works. I tested all components of the system, everything worked as it should. This is a sturdy cutoff box. It is very well-made, and the function couldn't be more obvious or positive. Recommended for electricians or knowledgable homeowners.
This solves a lot of problems for me. I have a camera on a southern facing wall and I was struggling to keep it charged, because the other solar panel I had was not catching enough sun. So, the fact that this panel is bigger and has a greater output at 8w, and has a better way to face up (the mounting attachment), it is solving my charging problem. The quality of the materials will be tested over the next few months as our temperature creep up, but nighttime still drops low. The plastic looks different, more cream colored, and I don't know what that means to the longevity, but the manufacturer knew this would be in the sun. The installation wasn't tough, but it definitely benefited from being able to fit the pieces with the thumb screws and making adjustments before tightening. I also needed to use an adapter for the USB end. My camera is not Ring, so it uses a different style, but an inexpensive transition piece and it worked like a dream. I charged the camera with house power about a week ago and it was at 73% connected to the old solar panel today. It has already gone up 1% as I've been typing this. I'm really happy with this panel and will revisit the review if I see any temperature generated problems.
Very sturdy and a perfect fit, ready for the next power failure.
I purchased this exhaust extension kit to improve the safety and noise level of my generator in the shed. Installation was relatively easy, although I did have to adjust a few parts for a perfect fit. The muffler silencer did a great job of reducing noise, and I no longer have to worry about exhaust fumes building up. It’s a solid product, and I really appreciate the extra accessories like gloves and the flexible hose. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make their generator safer and quieter!
