The AC Side of Things DC

You can turn that on or off, and from the application, which can work either wirelessly or via Bluetooth. Here we have the USB port, one of them I'm using at the moment to charge a tablet, it's outputting 43 Watts. The taipees are doing nothing, flashlight on the front you can control that, and then under here we've got a lot of settings. So, we've got the screen settings, this is basically to do with the timeout, the brightness of the display. You have operating modes right there so standard power saving always on mode does even have a UPS function built into it.

This battery station which is 20 milliseconds the time it will take to swap over uh shut down settings so there are some options here that you can config there so you can set the time, there's a battery capacity a certain capacity to have it shut down. Battery preservation mode so imagine you want to really hang on to this for as long as possible and now it's got the LFP Sounds in there which are the best they're good for about 3,000 Cycles until the capacity drops to 80 percent but you can prolong this even more.

There you can see with some options so when it reaches 90 you can have all the outputs disabled uh and there's just a few other things in there too as well. You can set so there's a lot on there child safety mode audio tones quiet Mode's a handy one so if you don't want it making as much noise as it can when it's charging at the full rate or discharge edging or outputting should I say you can lower that down and in the quiet mode you want to hear those fans as much temperature units low battery alerts the frequency output there for AC so 50 or 60 hertz and DC charging current you can even control that too.

As well imagine you've got it hooked up to some solar panels you want to reduce the charging rate well you can do that there, there's even firmware updates too as well. And I am on the latest firmware at the time of this video so there's a lot in this application very useful all of that information it does give us all right.

Recapping here I am impressed with this little unit right here and no it's not just because this is a sponsored video not at all because it passed my Kettle test and that was to boil water it will eventually do it as I showed you and yes the output does drop down so it's not pulling like 2,000 Watts it was around about 13,1350 maximum but eventually it can boil water so great for camping needs emergency situations you need to boil water well it will be able to do it where so many other portable power stations have failed to do so they simply just trigger their overload protection and that is it.

And even a hair dryer set to the maximum setting again you could tell it wasn't running at the full output which can go up to 2500 watts but it would still let it work it would still be enough to be able to dry your hair if you needed to do that with a hair dryer and then all the garden tools that I showed you and the vacuum cleaner it can handle that so most of those power tools that you'll be using those appliances it's going to be able to handle this.

Now I love the portable lightweight size to it it's only 12 kilos here. The fact that it can charge to 80 percent in just 50 minutes with its power zip that's another great feature and overall I think this is an excellent portable power station here from eugreen so thank you so much for watching this video on the Power Run 1200.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enUgreen you probably know them for their great power supplies for their accessories cables and  whatnot but they also do make portable power stations this model here that they sent out  to me and by the way they are sponsoring this video is their power room 1200. so 1200 watt  output but it can also Peak to 2500 watts and it's using lfp battery cells so they're the  high-quality battery cells and they do have what is called Power Zips so it can charge up to 80  percent in only 50 minutes and to fully charge the 1024 watt hour capacity only takes an hour  and a half so it can charge simultaneously up to 13 devices and with this model here it only  weighs 12 kilos so it's light it is portable and in this field I will be going through some real  world tests to let you know exactly what it's all about and also test out this right here and  in front of me that is their 200 watt portable solar panel now with two of those you can charge  this battery station in about four hours I also do have a very powerful 450 watt solar panel  that I'll be testing these solar input too and just how it charges the power Rome 1200.  included with our power home 1200 you will find a user manual here now that's in various different  languages a five-year warranty card and user instructions the power cable is just that so  we don't get a power supply because it's internal with this unit so it will fully charge in one and  a half hours and it gets up to 80 really quickly and only 50 minutes we've got a DC cable here the  xt60 connector to car adapter so the cigarette lighter socket for car charging which is rather  slow so it's going to take six hours if you have a 24 volt system 12 hours if you've got a six  volt system and then we get some xt60 cables here that is for solar panels and they even do include  this little pouch here for all of our cables now the build quality of the power roam 1200 here is  excellent the Plastics the Finish to them there's no sharp edges so it's flame retardant plastic the  handle feels excellent we've got a light here so you can turn that on and off just via this button  does have an SOS mode too with it it can be controlled via the application we have two  type c 100 watt outputs here they support power delivery to type a ports here 22.5 watts each and  they're compatible with various different Quick Charge standards and then we have the DC side  of things here too there's a button to control that on and off so it's 12 volts 10 amps and out  of our DC side here with the cigarette lighter and then the two plugs it's 120 watts maximum  but we do have 1200 watts with the AC plugs right here that is in total 1200 Max and  you'll see that they've got this little dust cap that goes over them just to protect them there's  a power on and off button for it and right here is a fan so there's one either side on the left  under this little flap here you will find then the protective Earth point this is our input for  solar charging and also the car charging so that is 12 to 48 volts 15 amps or 400 watts Max now I  did slightly exceed that with my solar input with the charging and it did not trigger this which is  the overcharge protection so if that does pop out you simply need to press that back in and Away you  go you're up and running so really good that it does have this overcharge protection some earlier  models not from you green but some other brands that I reviewed did not have this and you can  damage it and in fact destroy it so you wouldn't be able to charge it anymore so it's really good  it's got it and then that is of course our ACN to charge it so it only takes 50 minutes to get  to 80 it's very quick with the lfp batteries then the other fan right here so the idea of the active  cooling of course is to keep all the components inside nice and cool nothing's going to overheat  but it does have a BMS which is our battery management system so it's monitoring everything  to make sure that it's not going to overheat and it is safe and our 200 watt solar panel here it's  portable it folds out and I'll show you how to set it up shortly so it's 19 volts and 10.5 amps  so with one of these charge time will be rather slow around about seven to eight hours but if  you've got two of them then you can fully charge the 1024 watt hour battery in about four hours  and in the Box you will find your standard solar connector cable here to xt60 and an xt62  xt60 cable now I'll show you how quick and easy it is to set it up so these legs here they obviously  need to be facing downwards because they're going to be supporting the weight of the solar panel so  opening it up you just need to unfold it like so you can see it is quite large here and then using  these three legs we have sorry four legs to prop it up like so now they do have even a little gauge  here to try and get the little dot inside the red circle and the idea behind that is you get the  optimum angle towards the Sun so you can get the maximum efficiency and the best possible charging  rate so what I'll do now is connect this up to the power Rome 1200 now these panels are weatherproof  so you don't need to worry about them being rained on and of course they're going to handle  the sunlight that's what they're designed for so they shouldn't fade the plastic shouldn't crack  or anything so the connector Port is located on the right hand side here that's for the  xt60 connector so I'm just going to plug that in now done and we'll have a look at what kind  of charge rates I can get from this 200 watt solar panel all right so I haven't quite got the optimal  angle here because I cannot get the panels back further the sun's almost right over here and I'm  only looking at well 100 watts is the best I've seen so far and it does tell me it's going to take  1.8 hours to charge the remaining 17 so that last 20 of the battery is always quite a bit slower but  I am a little bit disappointed in the wattage here from a 200 watt panel I was expecting at least 150  watts considering it is a clear date is a tiny little bit of haze in the sky but that shouldn't  really be affecting the panel performance so this powerdrome 1200 can take 400 watts maximum solar  input this panel here that I've got its maximum output is 450 Watts now the best I've seen it do  is about 405 Watts so hopefully it's not going to trigger the overload protection but let's  find out what kind of charging rates I can get with this huge proper not portable solar panel  right this is looking very promising here so close to the 400 watts which is the maximum  I've really seen out of this panel and just what can it be used for well power tools you're pretty  much covered because it's 1200 watts so that's going to cover I think about 90 of most power  tools out there so this line trimmer that I've got it's about 400 watts but it does  peak sometimes up to about 600. let's have a look and see how the power ohm 1200 handles itnow it was not a problem at all for the battery station to be able to handle this output now  the screen did tell me that at its current wattage it should be able to run for about  an hour and a half off almost a fully charged battery just over an hour and a half which is  not bad at all so that gives me enough time to be able to do all of the edges probably about  twice maybe even three times over with this large capacity battery being 1024 Watt hours  and then my personal biggest use for these power stations is this so I don't have to  run a lead out here with the vacuum I take out the battery bank here now according to  the battery gauge on there the screen tells me I get 1.3 hours of runtime with this vacuum so  this means I can clean the car properly without having to rely on one of those stupid battery  operated vacuum cleaners let's face it they don't do a good job this will this is up to  a thousand watts in suction performance so let's see how it handles it foreignvacuum cleaner here wasn't an issue for it so just before I go and test out this will come in  household appliances like hair dryer and a kettle to boil water and test the overload protection  let's take a look at the car charging okay so every car is going to be different we're charging  at 103 Watts here and it's going to take 1.6 hours to charge the remaining 14 here so it will take on  a 12 volt system around six hours to fully charge so this really is reserved for emergencies only if  you just needed to top up the battery a little bit because it's quite hard too on your alternator if  you always did this our screen displays all of the key info you can see currently I've got 1050 Watts  as I'm charging it it's going to take 11 minutes to fully charge 81 percent I've got 20 watts going  out at the moment and it will be able to go for while it's saying 100 hours here because it's  charging at the same time so it's Infinity it'll just keep going of course the type C ports there  type A and this is our fan logo so the fan is on at the moment it is very quiet I can barely hear  it but we are certainly going to hear it now as I put the power station under some stress  for this test it's my Kettle test so I'm going to boil some water will it be able to do this  now a lot of the power stations I test out they just simply overload so that trips there built in  overload safety mechanism but let's have a look put that on now uh it's not on there we go this  is now on I can see the blue light on the kettle so it is pulling now 1700 Watts down now to 1600.  still around 17. and I can clearly hear that that water is starting now to boil already well  it's making its noise so because I do have it charging at the moment I'm going to remove that  perhaps it's giving it a boost in the wattage it seems it is there we go it's dropped down  now to 1280 Watts but it continues to stay on it hasn't tripped out yet overload protection  and it is meant to be able to Surge up to 2500 watts but it's just lowered the voltage now the  good thing though of course it hasn't cut out so that jug is going to boil not a problem it'll stay  on and you'll be able to do that in emergency situations that is very handy now I'm going to  step it up and plug in a hair dryer so I did turn off The Jug the kettle there the water's  not boiling anymore now I'll set the hair dryer first to the our first lowest level with its heatokay that is fine it's pulling about 1100 Watts I'll put it onto the maximum and again it's  limiting itself to almost 1300 Watts there but it stays on now I have tested this out before  the hair dryer it will just keep going and going and going so again this is good but we are losing  some performance out of the hair dryer it's not as hot as it normally is but it's still enough  to be able to dry your hair so if you needed this in an emergency situation or camping well it is  going to be able to do it so run a hair dryer and boil water that's great finally it is time to test  out the overload predictions so I'm going to turn on the hair dryer and then boil water at the same  time this will cause it to trip out well it should at least so we'll see what happens   okay that did not take long at all it is beeping at me and then displayed a f43 overload protection  error so that's normal I just need to turn it off wait a little while and turn it back  on and it will be fine in fact it's done it by itself it has Auto reset there now the ups test  so it's uninterrupted power supply feature it's supposed to be able to switch over going from  grid to the battery in 20 milliseconds so you can see I've got AC plugged in here charging at  a thousand Watts turn on the hairdryer now and then I'll remove it and we'll see what happensokay you could hear the RPM of the hairdryer step down but that was very quick when it switched over  lastly the fan noise and heat so I've been loading it up charging at the same time and  yes you can clearly hear the fan it's on but it is quieter than the Eco flow and  blue T equivalents that I have reviewed from them around the same capacity so just over a  thousand watt hours I could feel a little bit of warm air coming out from the right  side so it does seem it sucks in from the left blows that air through to cool it and  that's where it is coming out so I'll give you a sample of it now this is under full load and  remember this is not the quiet mode this is the standard mode I think it's acceptable but  if you're in the room with it you will hear it but you can use that quiet mode optionso here is our application it's just simply called you green now you do need to register  an email you need a confirmation code that you later need to enter in once you do all of that  you can then sign into the app so straight away it gives us the screen here with our current battery  percentage you can see the temperature of it to at 37 degrees Celsius and then just all of the  current information so it's currently charging at 1062 Watts I'm outputting 43 Watts here and  it's got 11 minutes of charge time left to get to 100 so that's not bad at all now here you can see  the AC side of things DC you can turn that on or off or from the application which can work either  wirelessly or via Bluetooth and here we have the USB port so the type C Port one of them I'm using  at the moment to charge a tablet it's outputting the 43 Watts the taipees are doing nothing  flashlight on the front you can control that and then under here we've got a lot of settings  so we've got the screen settings this is basically to do with the timeout the brightness of the  display you have operating modes right there so standard power saving always on mode does even  have a UPS function built into it this battery station which is 20 milliseconds the time it  will take to swap over uh shut down settings so there are some options here that you can config  there so you can set the time there's a battery capacity a certain capacity to have it shut down  battery preservation mode so imagine you want to really hang on to this for as long as possible  and now it's got the The lfp Sounds in there which are the best they're good for about 3  000 Cycles until the capacity drops to 80 percent but you can prolong this even more there you can  see with some options so when it reaches 90 you can have all the outputs disabled uh and there's  just a few other things in there too as well you can set so there's a lot on there child safety  mode audio tones quiet Mode's a handy one so if you don't want it making as much noise as it can  when it's charging at the full rate or discharge edging or outputting should I say you can lower  that down and in the quiet mode you want to hear those fans as much temperature units low battery  alerts the frequency output there for AC so 50 or 60 hertz and DC charging current you can even  control that too as well imagine you've got it hooked up to some solar panels you want to reduce  the charging rate well you can do that there there's even firmware updates too as well and I am  on the latest firmware at the time of this video so there's a lot in this application very useful  all of that information it does give us all right so recapping here I
