I second that!

We have here some perfect testers who got wisdom and skills.
Much better than I could do.
I do not handle such a youtube channel or any accounts on these unsocial media.
So I am not a person who can do pure propaganda work. :grin:

Would not want you to do propaganda work but to tell the truth and nothing but the truth…

This is what I expect from testers, but the most of these dont.

So this weighs same as an average American 6 year old.

Someone needs to remake this video using a Powerhouse instead as the weights.

I would do a review but I’m probably not in a country they ship to. I suggest send to Duane or Tank.

As yall know I tested
and use the Powerhouse II 400. I use it almost daily and love it. Would I love to test and work out this new one? Hell yes I would love to own and test this bad boy out. I find myself using mine in situations I didn’t think I would, like when traveling in the car to run a mini fridge, using it in the driveway with my portable car lift instead of running extension cords everywhere. This lil 400 has held up, but is underpowered and this new one would be perfect for all my needs.

Thanks for sharing.

I didn’t see anything more than reading information Anker supplied.

Anker need to send to someone who does a teardown. e.g. Jerryrigeverything.

Best are the teardowns from the very skilled youtubers.
After the “teardown” destruction they
will never be able to reassemble the device.
This I call a true engineer’s work.:rofl:

Anything which can’t be reassembled is landfill and annihilated any chance of environmental credibility.

Serviceability isn’t difficult to engineer, it’s called screws and plugs not glue and solder.

Can Anker either state the serviceability, or send to a reviewer who does a teardown.

Have you ever seen such teardown specialists?
Often using hammer and pliers but no brain.
I am sure I can do a such one without destroying the device.

Well it’s a discussion.

Suppose this product isn’t serviceable.

So the next product, it has

  • a user replaceable diagnostic module.
  • the diagnostic module reports the health and which components are failing or failed.
  • the owner under warranty reports the failing or failed components, that part is dispatched to owner for self service swapping
  • the removed component is either posted back to Anker for them to repair or owner asked to discarded locally following local environmental rules.

Anker go make it, the Powerhouse Professor Edition ™

All things are serviceable if the designers want to.
Or better to say they would like to do a well designed and repairable device, but the company says NO.

How are the ideas of ANKER?
LET US KNOW PLEASE.
@AnkerOfficial ask the designing engineers , please.

Thats the sh’t of many things designed and sold in our undergoing world.
50 years ago it was quite easy to repair a car, but today?
NOT POSSIBLE.
One need programs and licenses.
This is called progress, I call it “bullsh’t”.

Anything can be taken apart and I do mean anything, now whether or not a user can replace or diagnose this type of battery generator is a different story. But unless one willfully takes one apart we will never know. Jerryrigseverything has taken the previous ones apart before and examined what each part did, but that was it and I personally would like to see a more in depth teardown. Now I myself would do it if one was provided to me, but there is no way I could afford one otherwise.

My review https://youtu.be/Ejgd0wprJTU

Video is mentioning Anker’s discrepancy on max input solar. They say max 10A so at 18V is max 180W not 300W.

I am guessing what they did was take the open voltage 18V and max current of the solar cells they used and simply multiplied to get 100W panel which would actually give 70W max and 3 of them is 210W not 300W.

A test with a meter over one panel in perfect strong sunshine would verify my theory. I see they didn’t send their panel so if they did you could review that.

Hi professor, good to see you again on the main Anker forum!

According to its user manual, 300W is the max solar input.
The solar port has this label: 11-30V == 10A

There is a 3 to 1 XT60 cable included, I assume it joins three 100W panels in parallel.
I forgot to show those details in this review.

I’m still waiting for the solar panels to arrive.

Please do a review when the Anker 100W panel arrives. If you can meter it please share. I’m expecting around 70W reality from 100W claim, made up of a panel of 6V cells in parallel, 4 panels in series to make 24V and yes 3 of them in parallel via XT60 to get to around 210W max. A measurement would help with confidence in if they are behaving typically.

If they are making 4 series 6V then partially shading one panel would make that panel not function so output drops a quarter.

If you’re familiar how PV works the actual Voltage is a function of the colour of light, more UV such as noon and/or higher altitude would push it towards 24C, otherwise lower voltage. The current then a function of intensity.

I’m expecting power outages to increase in frequency and duration and so that will drive demand for such technologies.

Yes I will definitely get a good reading from the power output once it arrives.
On a good day I won’t be surprised it delivers the full 100W output.
If you use the following keyword to search in my channel "Solar Pass-through Charging Tesla Using xxx "
(I don’t wanna post the link here as it leads to a competitor product), you will see 4X100W panels generating a bit more than 400W output.
Hotter day may decrease efficiency as well. It was filmed last Apr 2021 when it was cool.

I now probably have 2500W total solar panels at home. foldable ones and flexible ones.

I have enough technology to keep phones going only, a 21W (Anker) and 19W (gives 14W and 13W in reality) and around 370Wh of Anker Powercore (3 10Ah, 2 20Ah, 27Ah) all capable of being charged by the panels.

I’m thinking about increasing my capacities, what I’m expecting is most likely are rolling outages, i.e. the grid has insufficient power capacity so there’s a rota of turning power off in areas for a few hours so food doesn’t waste and cooking can be planned and the batteries on the cellular stations can recharge. I’m less expecting long outrages although some parts of UK had 9 days without power and the utility companies shipped portable diesel generators to public places also from where cooked meals were available.
