    4 ways to charge the Egretech Plume 300
    1) Solar Panel to DC1 input with 5521 connector
    2) 60W C-C charging cable
    3) 65W Power Adapter (AC) & power line
    4) Car charger to DC1 input
    Egretech also sells a 100W Solar Panel optional
    I strongly recommend reading the Instruction Manual before operation
    (You must charge the Plume 300 before using it the first time)
    The Plume 300 is compact size and weighs less than 5 pounds. It fits in the average motorcycle saddlebag, large woman's purse or even the utility pocket on a mobility scooter.
    MY SYNOPSIS:
    I found the Plume 300 to be a very handy little device due to its compact size. I used it for over a month on the road charging phones, batteries, lanterns, small camping utilities and 2 way radios. I used it in my 100W electric blanket at night and to power my 100W Hot Logic cooking pouch while traveling.
    The Plume 300 charges very quickly using the optional solar panel but was a bit slower using the 110V charging cable. The car charger takes about 6-7 hours, the 110v takes about 5 hours and the solar panel takes about 3-4 hours, depending on sunlight.
    All in all, considering the price of the Plume 300 at less than $200 ($179 if you use my link or product code to purchase), I found the Plume 300 to be a remarkable value for the money.
    You can see my use of the Plume 300 in many following videos as well as in this product review.

      Ray, I really was impressed with the Plume 300. I don't endorse stuff and recommend it to my subscribers unless I would use it myself. My opinion will never be for sale, brother.
      For less than $200 ($179 I think) this was the best value on a product I've been asked to review so far

    Use a 100w power adapter for either home or 100w dc adapter for the car and 100w type-c cable, and it'll cut down charge time to about the same as the solar panel as it also draws about a 100w. I just got it and tested in both scenarios. Nice thing is it said so in the manual, and the one who wrote the manual was clearly an english speaker. The company is chinese, but none of the lack of QC! Definitely a quality made product! I love it! Very stylish too. Reminds of one of those Louis Vuitton bags. At least the coloring, Lol!

    • @Old-Biker-Dude
      @Old-Biker-Dude  9 місяців тому

      The charging brick that comes with it is max’d at 65 watts in. I never charged it with the USB-C cable to be honest so that’s good news.
      I agree it is a great little device. I’ve been using it my travels regulator with no complaints

    • @Longjumping-War2484
      @Longjumping-War2484 9 місяців тому

      Hey@@Old-Biker-Dude, loved your review! You were very thorough as far as output is concerned. Loved the long endurance scenarios. I came at a different angle with my testing. As the specs was just a tad confusing in the manual, and the copy on Amazon, I really needed clarification. My situation is that I'm a Coder and a Gamer and spend half of my time traveling on business. I have a High Performance Gaming Laptop with a 330w Power Brick, and really wasn't sure if this thing could power it. In the copy on Amazon, it specified 300w max, but it also said "can connect up to 6 devices at once with a maximum of 500W output." I would imagine that meant peak draw. Honestly, I didn't think it would work as I've already tried this on other one's about this size, and it just refused to keep a current and kept disconnecting from the other power banks. I was holding my breath after I just fully charged it and started to plug in my power brick. Hallelujah, the 5th, and smallest of them all worked!! I started doing a Jig when I pressed my Turbo Max button which kicked my laptop into overdrive and drew a beautiful 330w from the Plume!! My Laptop actually believed it was plugged into the wall so it didn't reduce the power draw that is does while on battery. See, on Performance Laptops, there power draw is reduced so much to save on battery that it literally kills it's performance. Meaning when I'm on battery, power usage is around 60w, but when plugged into a wall outlet, it can draw up to 330watts! So basically my laptop performs like a desktop computer while plugged in, but behaves like a tablet or an ipad while on battery, lol! Even on battery, i'm only going to get up to 2 hours of power if you select balanced mode. For a beast of a laptop, they only stuck in a 90whr which totally sucks! So yeah, this thing performs as advertised. I still cannot believe that this thing, which is actually smaller and lighter than my laptop, can actually handle the power draw from my power brick. This is 330w we are talking about here! So anyway, lots of love to this product! Hey, Old Biker-Dude, if you are gonna be in touch with the vendor again, can you ask them when the higher end Plume 600 will be out and message me back on UA-cam? It's the bigger one that looks just like the Plume 300. It's in their Advertisement Ad. Definitely gonna buy when it does. Oh, and ask if they'll be using Lfp or Lithium Ion. This little guy is great, but it actually only gives me an additional 1 1/2 hrs from 246wh I think. Depends on how I use my laptop. But hopefully that 600 plume should be 496wh maybe? No news that I know of but I'm just guessing based on that picture. If it's the same form factor but larger, double the power, then I'm in!! The best thing about this power bank is they went with narrow, instead of a block. Beauty idea!! Fit's in my backpack well!! Take care Old Biker Dude. Nice chattin with ya!!

    • @Old-Biker-Dude
      @Old-Biker-Dude  8 місяців тому

      That’s the thing! The Plume 300 fits in a backpack, saddlebag or large purse.
      I see your point on the 600 though. I think that is the next one they will be sending me.
      Being that I use it merely as a way of fronting for a back up 100Ah battery, my use of it is pretty simple.

    • @Longjumping-War2484
      @Longjumping-War2484 8 місяців тому

      Hey,@@Old-Biker-Dude. As of today from 12 days ago, my Plume 300 has not ceased to impress me! For want of a better word, I have come to consider the plume 300 the most ergonomic power station of its size to date! There is nothing like it's design anywhere! It just doesn't feel like a piece of Power Station, more like an accessory that you carry around with you. Meaning I also have a Movespeed 130w/25000mAH power bank, 1.01 pounds, the size of a really big smartphone. That's a power bank, but the Plume 300 is considered a power station because of its size. Lol, since when can you say you can throw it on your bed when you get home, when speaking of a power station, not a power bank. Anyway, I've been itching to buy Egretech's other power station, the Sonic 600w! It's 500wh's with a max output of 1200w, and charges to 80% in 1.5 hours. But I'm resisting because I'm waiting around for the Plume's bigger upgraded version but have no idea if and when that's ever going to happen. I figure it'll probably be called the plume 600, right? There is currently no advertisement on it anywhere. I only found out about it when I went to their website. If you go to egretech.com and click on about us on the bottom, it'll got to another page. On the bottom of the page, there are pictures of the company rep at a chinese expo with Plume demo's on the table. If you look carefully, there are definitely 2 size s on the demo table! They both look exactly the same as our plume 300's, but one is clearly bigger than the other, which is our small ones. Thing is, because of it being the same design, it looks way easier to carry than one of those brick box looking type of power stations!! And i'm willing to pay extra, even if it costs more. And yes, I'm still keeping my plume 300, as just it's size alone, allows for very convenient use around the house. I'm actually finding more uses for it and have come to be putting it on the side of my bed in the event of an emergency, and throw it in my backpack when I go to work. One thing of note is when I charge my Laptop on AC it used all the power from the Power Station first before using the Laptops. On type-c charging, it did drop a little bit from the Laptops battery. Meaning both ways, you'll have a fresh battery operated device to use after it's drained. Anyway, let me know if you ever you find out if and when their ever coming out with the bigger one!! Cheers!

    Mine makes low high pitch sound from the AC inverter, but I have to put my ear against the device to hear. This is normal. However, there another sound that the device is making. This noise sounded like a mini moped or mini dirt bike oscillating/revving up and down, super annoying. Is mine defective?

    • @Old-Biker-Dude
