Portable Solar Generator is a bit of a misnomer: you can hook up a solar panel with an adapter. I have a friend who uses it with his CPAP. I have one, but haven’t used it other than a light and an ultra charger.
Not a generator at all, it’s just a big battery with a bunch of adaptors. Which is kinda cool, I guess, but really has nothing to do with solar nor any kind of power generation.
I don’t think so. A car would need a few hundred amps to start, this is rated for 15. The battery capacity is big enough but the instant current capacity isn’t designed for it.
“Solar Power” and “Generator” both seem to miss the mark in describing it… More like versatile battery and inverter pack.
Modified sine wave. I have a different brand of “Solar Generator”. Keep in mind that this inverter is really only good for electronics but not for things like fans that use motors. Basically if your device uses a “wall wart” or some kind of other external transformer you should be OK. Anything else is iffy.
Battery-wise, it’s a great deal. you want it for an emergency phone/router backup, this is a good deal.
“pure dual modified sinewave” just means modified sinewave.
It is EXTREMELY misleading to use that wording, as a pure sine wave is substantially different from a modified sine wave, and with that phrasing it implies that it is the better pure sinewave type.
Appears so. It’s like buying a Yeti 150 but half the price (almost). Solar panel is “optional” but nice to have if you take this thing to a camp site. 50watt panel would work great. Even that 150.00 (w/coupon) 100watt solar panel from Harbor freight would be a good add but don’t use the WHOLE 100 watt array.
But to be fair, it does include all the cables needed to hook it up to a solar panel, got decent reviews. You save some bucks unless you want the trend setter GoalZero devices.
Not meaning to cut Woot! slack on this one, but it appears several competitors in this market also refer to themselves as generators. They are all misrepresenting themselves.
Here is the only one I found that accurately depicts what it is.
I’ve had one of these for a month or so. When the power went out, it ran my cable modem, router and tv for about an hour and a half, and only lost one bar on the power display. There are two ac outlets, one of which looks weird but takes the standard three prong plug. It comes with a 12v female outlet that plugs into a dc outlet port.
This is a good price. I’m very happy with mine, and may buy a solar panel if one comes up for sale on Amazon.
I have a ResMed Airsense 10 auto. Using the DC adapter and no heated tube or humidification I can get two nights of run time out of this battery. I’ve been very happy with it especially for the price.
