What kinds of things can this power station run (and for how long)?? Download this Google Spreadsheet and plug in the numbers to find out: bit.ly/44udlVQ - Навчання та стиль
The spreadsheet is perfection. I was giddy pulling up all that information right there
If I hadn't just bought a Pecron in that category (which I'm happy with) I'd probably get this one. Gotta keep an eye on that Solix line!
Nice job with the video. Looks like a good unit. By the way, I have a Bluetti and Pecron. One thing that I wish was standardized would be solar panel connections to the units.
This is a game changer for me and what I do. It will be my next power station.
Thank You for the heads up regarding this power station
Excellent review/test. Thank you. You convinced me to subscribe.
I just bought mine a few days ago it comes with a free camping mat and it came with a 400 watt solar for 1528.42 I am very excited to use it in my semi truck to power my PS5 and mini fridge
Mine is c1000
Since this video is a paid promotion, did Anker have have final approval of the video?
This video is a paid promotion???
Thanks for the cool review.
Awesome integration of the telescoping pole and lights❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome review!!
I like the added light and build quallity, on the power input it make is easier to have multiple units that use different voltages, I have the Pecron E600LFP 36volt on charging, which has me in a bind right now at getting to where I would like to be because of cost of things around me right now, I am not able to get to an ac outlet to charge all the time. Things are looking geting a little better for me, just have to keep the Doc's happy and keep on my feet.
Very thorough and smart review.
I have the Anker C1000, which I’m super happy with.
But I might get actually get this C800 also as my portable go to.
Nice unit. I like the addition of that light pole.
Great details in spreadsheet! The only thing missing I wish it had was a sump pump for basement. I imagine it should be a few hours like the bridge being it’s a quick on off process.
Another well done video, thank you for the work.
My takes: nice looking unit, love the extra lights and setup pole, specs are a good range for a very portable unit, I like the use of XT60 connectors.
I do not like the lack of wireless (my preference), the PV input is too low @ 300 watts (lowest in this and many smaller capacity units), and as in many 1500 Wh units, the PV voltage/amp range is too low to usually reach the spec. This unit would be easy to reach 300 watts, but just because it is so low.
Bottom line: Another good option for whatever one's needs are and the price is better than most for what you get. Thanks again.
Just a thought. When doing the interference test on the guitar amp have the power station plugged in to the main to provide earth. Just plugged in with mains switched off so no charging takes place. I've had stand alone inverters that caused interference noise that went away when grounded.
That's a fair point and something I'll definitely try.
I am new to this subject and terminology so please forgive my ignorance, but are you saying it won't make that noise if you are not charging at the same time you are trying to power the amp? And secondly are you saying there is no way to be charging the power station (like through a solar panel) w/o the inverter adding noise into a speaker you are using AC to power? I'm trying to use this to do a live sound set up and it defeats the purpose if it's all loud and buzzy. That is for the people listening to the music.
@@rundajulesproductions7735 I can't say for that specific product as I don't have it, but providing a ground is a way of getting rid of noise in some scenarios. Nothing to do with any charging as such. The mains cable is simply being used to ground the power station.
Thanks! @@Gravitational234
Didn't you have a spreadsheet to compare all the different efficiencies and capacities of these batteries?
Excellent presentation. Thank you. Remove two (or three or four) of the AC outlets and give us more 12v options at 10amps or more - 5521 or XT60 perhaps. I basically wont buy a unit now for car/van/truck camping that only has a cig outlet as a 12v output option - this outlet is honestly crap. This unit is too small for a "home backup" and six 120v outlets is complete overkill on this size of unit, in my humble opinion, since it wont run 120v for very long at all.
I agree with you on this - too many AC outlets for the inverter size. Do you have a recommendation on a unit that is better suited to car camping please?
@@ingalwayAs of today, the Pecron units seems to have more 12v output options and lean towards better 12v car/van/truck camping. Bluetti and Jackery both have removed most of the varied 12v output options on their newer units. If you are going to run fridges, compressors, lights and other 12v stuff - you need some solid higher amp output options. For 120v output, all you need is a $10 power strip and you can plug in 10 things. You dont need 8-10 outlets on the unit itself. It Isn't that easy with 12v stuff.
Good job on the review. How do you know that the noise picked up by the amp was from the power transmitted and not an EMF due to proximity?
The light accessories pole is telescoping it extens to like 3 feet maybe? Ah you found out good job.
During the overnight test if you had a load on the DC output would it auto-on in the morning?
When plugging in my 12v car adaptor and running on the c800plus it seems to turn off. Havent done an indepth look into why but im figuring that even with setting at never off.
The 12v has a timer or countdown on it.
Or the fridge turns off when cold enough and the unit doesnt recognise the requirement from the fridge or
It cuts off when under a a certain percentage.
I have mind u run to zero and its obviously cut off. But with charge im still experiencing shutdown of fridge.
Firmwares updated. Maybe on that front there maybe a workaround.
Anyone else experiencing this ?
Nice video.
Interesting the AC doesnt restart if the power craps out on recharging
That would be a nice little tweak anker👍
Between this unit and the ECOFLOW Solar Generator RIVER 2 Pro 768Wh, which one is better?
good video
Great video! Do you happen to know the Mah of the batteries inside?
Can you recommend solar panel that will work on this unit aside from Anker's solar panels?
So i have a question: there is an SOS mode in the app. The test you provided for the inverter sections i understand very clearly. What does the SOS function do. And say you connect solar panels and leave the SOS function on for 24hrs does the SOS mode stay enabled even if the charge cuts itself off due to sunlight exposure on the solar panels (night time)? And can you charge the lamps via USB-c or only via the dock. is so does the SOS function also work on the flashlights? the reason why i'm asking if the flashlights are USB charged and also work on the SOS function is due to pairing and charing say overnight. once the lights are removed from the dock they will lose power during the night. if you could charge them via USB-c this would be partially eliminated.
generic questions here: I know we call these ''solar generators'' but actually they are power stations... solar oriented because they include a solar controller, my questions are: can we use a wind turbine to charge them instead?... if yes, should it be the same Watts the suggested solar panels are? do we need to use a wind controller? [and what's the difference between a solar and a wind controller?], where should we connect the charging cable? and last one should it be better a 12V or a 24V turbine?...
Can you make a dedicated video explaining that?...
Thank you!
Nice system, I would like to see a folding carrying handle. I use a cane. Just one hand free.
I carry my delta 2 with one hand and it has the same type of handles and it’s not a problem.
the price is really good... for the all series... and the input is watts is more than usual, that means fast charging [internal controller ]
I live in NZ and our power supply is 240 volts, do these units come with these outlets
Does it drop the voltage below 110v when throttling or only to 110v?
how long will it run that little heater you had the white one!
The lack of Anderson or DC5521 outlets is a let down. DC fridges routinely pop-out of those cigerette sockets.
Could this run a small microwave for about 5 min ( to make a couple cups of coffee )
It's as noisy as the Anker Solix C1000 at 63dB. The nature of the noise is also annoying, described as a jet engine and/or hair dryer.
Bluetti has their AC70 which can be bought for $400 refurbished with similar specs. It's also much quieter.
can't believe this is the same as ecoflow river 2 pro that i have, tho it has a little bit of a higher compacity of 768WH at least 85%
Thanks for the review. What solar panels do they or you recommend?
Anker sells them
Is it possible to use an MC4 to XT60I for the solar panel input as opposed to just the XT60?
I'm 99% sure that the XT60i connector is backward compatible with XT60, just not the other way around.
Hello nice review anker products are one the best products I’ve ever known but also extremely expensive here in my country nigeria. I’d rather wait for the next giveaway you might want to give i may be the winner…
Can you tie this in together with another Solix model to expand capacity?
Not the C800, but yes to on the C1000
whats the max volt. on this ?
Got mine today
Cannot register warranty because there's no product selection for the C800, only older models.
What's up with that???😮😢
Hmmm not sure. I'll reach out to them and see what they say.
Id rather have 2 year warranty with excellent customer service (after the warranty period you still get support) than 5 year advertised and poor or non existent customer after sales service. Hopefully Anker have good customer service.
That torch is inconvenient. A separate torch does the same job.
Anker has very good customer support, so don't understand what you mean.
That's great to know.. hopefully their warranty is hassle free@@jacobkummer2067
I’m a little confused, there’s another reviewer, who I would consider reputable, also did a ac/dc capacity test which revealed about 95% on both, thats 10% difference which is huge. Since I respect his results is it possible that results can be unit specific? Also do you know the run time on the lanterns? Thanks
It could also be the opposite, that the other reviewers unit was better than the rest. And it is very likely. I would go with the lower 85% for planning purposes
The R1500 power station has a little over 1100wh battery capacity and is on sale now for the same price the Solix C800 is. I would buy the R1500 over the Anker C800, but would definitely buy the Anker C800 over the Jackery 500. Would be nice if you would do a comparison between the 768wh power banks available now, unless you don't wish to upset the manufacturers that sponsor you.
Well this isn't an ad, so it might have been sent to him at no cost, but not sponsored.
Really enjoy your reviews.. Can you possible review 220/240 volt Solar generators..
Im here in the Philippines and I definitely need to acquire a backup power system.. #ITSMOREFUNINTHEPHILIPPINES
Whats the difference between the c800 and c800 plus?
I *think* it's the rechargeable flashlights that's the difference
I don't currently use a wireless charging phone..how ever I do think flashlight company's may develop wireless lanterns and flashlights....Hint..hint..Wurkkos and Olight...at that point I would love❤ it
Poor cat 🐈 💥 📦
I don't understand why you and other reviewers of these devices don't or won't call out the manufacturers on their practice of giving a device a certain capacity rating but in reality the device only achieves a lesser portion of that capacity. To me the manufacturer is intentionally misleading the buyer. If the container says a quart of milk I expect a quart of milk. I prefer to watch reviews of items purchased by the reviewer.
Finally, someone brings this very valid point up.
Yep, UA-cam has become one giant infomercial !!! Starting to Un-Sub as we speak
Most reviews I've seen show efficiency for the specific test they show.
Capacity depends on many things, there's always efficiency loss, and an optimal rate of discharge.
You're complaining about efficiency not capacity. The batteries hold the stated wattage. Unfortunately it takes some power to get power out/ converted.
@@s.r5534We don't buy an item for its capacity but for its utility. Manufacturers know the efficiency of their product but never state it if it reflects poorly on the utility of the product. The stated capacity is meaningless if it has no bearing on the unit's capability and utility. At the end of the day this is all about "truth is advertising". Hyperbole is one thing. Lying is another.
Anker is owned by the Chinese.
They all are
I’m sure you have a ton of things made by Chinese
I would like to see more "true American" companies involved in manufacturing these Generators. I feel that overall customer service would improve with ease of communication. I would also like to see more of the products "UL" screened.
@@goneoutside1011 Products Manufactured in China for Non Chinese company's have to follow strict specifications. Chines owned company's set thier own Specs and they are almost always lower to save money. Ans that is where the trouble starts. Know the difference between the 2.

I got a 12.8 volt 50amh LifePo4 battery.
I'm using an 54.7 volt ebike charger , will the 54.7 volt do damage to the LifePo4 battery?
