I used to be a huge Goal Zero fan... I now recommend Jackery battery packs. They come in various wattages / price points. I own several sizes...

Does the mount come with the standard cigarette lighter plug in?

If so and you’re looking to go portable this has worked well for me.

Has anyone tried an electric generator/portable power station?

Specifically this one https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Portable-Power-Station-Generator/dp/B07D29QNMJ by Jackery?

Now that we are in the middle of summer and fire season, power outages are a bit more common. I was wondering if anyone has tried one of these (and the solar panel) and can weigh on if:

It works and is durable enough to use over multiple seasons

It was actually practical to use and useful.

Is there a good reason to get a gas generator over this? I've never owned any type of generator.

Buy a lithium “generator”. Something like this (I have no personal experience with this).

I have been shopping for something to use rv camping when we are off grid. As I understand, insurance will not pay and the CPAP specific battery backups are much more expensive for what you get.

Sounds like this might be helpful for you.

You are going to encounter issues with handshake via Mobile Network, you will need a static IP address to bypass that especially with WYZE cameras, those aren't free either, Verizon and AT&T charges $500 bucks. You can get a 200Wh battery backup should last you 48 hrs.

Charging a lithium battery directly from the car's alternator is too complex to make it feasible. Car alternators typically charge at 13-15V DC which will damage a LiPo4 cell. LiFePo4 might work better but the biggest issue is balancing the individual cells that make up the whole battery. If you really want to do it, gather up the cells you wish to use, a BMS (battery management system), CVCC inverter (constant voltage constant current), and connect them all to the car battery. Or you could get something like this and charge it through the car's 12v outlet.

I'm no expert, but I have a decent amount of experience tinkering with batteries. I'm sure /r/batteries would be a great place to ask.

Fold down the back seats down and we cut the edges to fit a full size mattress topper. Fits both of us great! I have an inverter and this little guy to help with crazy situations and just regular camping Other than that I swapped out my dome led’s for blue because...why not and I have a dashcam.

So you listed your board max input as 51v 3A, but your brick output as 51v 4A... Also not sure why you listed 220w max... 51 x 4 = 204... Is it not 51v?

Anyway, this box supports up to 200w not more. If you need more, then look at the 300 model. They are heavy, like 8 lbs each.

Sounds like you'd probably be better off with an off the shelf solution. Stick the phrase "battery generator" or "portable power station" into amazon, and you'll find results like this one. Depending on the TV, divide the Wh number by 60 and you should get a rough indication of the lifetime of the battery in hours.

Jackery Portable Power Station... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D29QNMJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. This is what we are using for my CPAP when we camp. If last 8-9 hours.

But, on this forum sometime last summer someone posted instructions on how to make one using an affordable $70 battery. But I do t recall where or when or what.

This one

Amazon + $250

I don't know about going the generator route. So loud and wasteful for just that and disruptive to those around you.

I got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D29QNMJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It will run my cpap for about 2 nights. I also got the solar charger for it and charge it during the day. It's nice because then I can use it for other things as well like charging my switch and phones of those I'm with.

You need to not use your humidifier when running from a battery. They draw far too much power.

Vehicle fridge and power bank?

Whenever car camping is a thing that can happen again after this pandemic, I'm considering getting a portable fridge (something like this) for our Outback so we don't have to deal with an ice chest and melting ice anymore, especially during extended stays away from civilization. It is my understanding that such a fridge could run off a portable power bank, like the Jackery Portable Power Station. For anyone who has this kind of setup, how long can I expect the fridge to run off one of those power banks? I realize this is going to vary based on the size of the battery and the size of the fridge, as well as how hot the weather is, but I'm just looking for real-world examples from people who have done this.

Equipment review

Hi everyone. I currently have a 12" Dobsonian for visual and an iOptron Skyguider Pro + iPolar + Canon 6D Mark II + 100-400mm lens that I have been using for Astrophotography (using Nina lately).

I'm getting decent results (I'm under Bortle 4.5 skies so that helps for sure) but I'm spending a lot of time on setup, target finding, focusing, etc

I have been considering upgrading my kit for some time and I'm ready to pull the trigger. Below is what I'm looking at. Is there anything obvious that I'm missing? Anything that looks like a bad choice? I'm able to comfortably afford this so cost isn't a primary driver.

Thanks for any opinions and insights!

I found it way easier to convince non-campers to come along when I bring along a hot shower. Shower tent + campfire heated water + 12V pump + battery = glorious 100+ degree showers. Though admittedly best for car camping. I'm sure the camping purists would hate it, y'all can keep your swamp ass.

Happy to help! You just reminded me, a good power bank can charge a phone several times. A bigger one like this also has a regular plug-in and several types of power ports. Probably not powerful enough for a fridge, but would work with a small fan if you've lost air conditioning.

Something like this might fit the bill for what you're looking for. Could even augment with a solar panel for longer run time. I think they also have larger units.

Need something like this and a place to recharge it effectively (like a motel room once a week or a friends house for like 8hrs or something)

OR

You can get this but the Solar Panels dont come with it, so it adds to the cost but its a solid purchase

or find a way to charge from the car for the laptop. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These are what I have, although there are definitely better prices out there for the Jackery.

If you can power your setup off a single outlet at your gigs an 1800W running 2300W starting generator will be more than adequate. If you are US based, household outlets are 15A in your bedroom, and 20A in your garage or kitchen. You won't find any venue with an outlet larger than 20A.

My (2) moving head lights, light bar, controller, laptop, wireless mic, mixer, (2) "1000W" speakers and (1) "1300W" subwoofer barely draw 7.5 Amps (900W). Everything was cranked up loud as evident by my older neighbors in the street wondering what the hell I was doing.

I got this generator for my setups if needed: Sam's Club - 1800W Generator

I got this small battery pack to power one of my "1000W" speakers and an iPad for 4+ hours if needed: Amazon - 240Wh Battery Pack

Keep in mind most generators are sold to the RV market. That means they need to power 30A - 50A for an entire camper. That includes the fridge and A/C - high power devices.

Could plug it in to a Jackery unit. Or Goal Zero ect ect.

I'm not 100% sure what size unit you'll need.

So, I'm not sure for how long this generator will work for, but I'm sure you can check the rest of their lineup.
I have one of these and they are pretty good, very reliable and work fine.

Alternatively, you can get this also: Generator Oil

It's a barrel connector so 100% my fault. They sell 2 devices:

There's no way to incorrectly plug in that 8mm barrel into their device. I also have a camper with one solar panel on the roof. Once my portable battery pack was full I wanted to plug this panel into the camper. I bought some cables to convert it to the right plugs, but I failed to keep the polarity correct. Mobile panel started smoking and blew a fuse on the camper but luckily didn't burn up the solar charge controller, the roof panel or battery. Jackery's first tier support replied to my email, still waiting to see if they'll send a new board. If not I'll bypass the board.

Hey There I am known as Oliver Adventure. I have a 1996 Dodge Ram B-2500 I built out to a Camper van. It was the most Awesome thing I have done in my life. The Adventures I have had in it have been Awesome and the freedom to have a home on wheels that is completely paid for gives me a piece of mind. Here is a link I found for your van with an awesome setup and everything you will need. Sienna Conversion

Since you are a digital designer go with this for your power requirements it is self contained and light and gives you Big power well worth the money you can go with the 240 can run about 50 watts for 5 hours and use this to charge Solar panels

I have watched a DJ run a mixer and 2 powered speakers for 5 hours on this.

Go with a good cooler that holds ice for 4 days

if ya want a shower spend 23.00 on this and its also nice to wash dishes rinse your feet off at night etc 12 volt shower set up I am going to post an install video soon very simple and it runs outside specially cool to wash your surfboard off and sand

Go with a simple propane cook stove and store it under your bed/sofa

Your van is smaller and going be a lot better on gas a big 8 cyl van such as mine uses some gallons while traveling. Use the money to make your van very mechanically solid go over it good and use it for your build. Let the Adventures begin. I am so excited for you!

If you need power over multiple days you may want a small battery and a solar panel. Even a small flexible 100W one can go a long long way. That would give you more options.

A Jackery 1000 costs about $1000 here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Portable-Explorer-Generator-Emergency/dp/B083KBKJ8Q/

They seem to be popular with people. I prefer the DIY method myself.

Anywho, as an example that is 1000Wh, The apple seems popular so using the macbook pro 16 specs listed here: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-16/specs/ That can charge it from full to empty approximately 8 or 9 times.

This one is smaller, and would give you about 2 full charges. https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Portable-Power-Station-Generator/dp/B07D29QNMJ

You could also add their brand of portable solar panels, or competing brands I suppose.

​

Either way, plenty of options. It can be quite a rabbit hole if you decide to jump down it. I'm assuming you are not always near your car.

Ok, I did some calculations, but I’m an elementary teacher, not an electrical engineer, so take my thinking with a grain of salt.

Calculations

• 12v x 6 amps = 72 watts of power to run the printer
• 72 watts x 8 hours (for a reasonable print time) = 576 watt hours of total energy needed for an example print

Remember, I’m a pig farmer, not an EE, but it seems that when you’re talking about a battery system that can store hundreds of watt hours and output AC power, you’re looking at about $1/watt hour.

Products

• 167 watt hour station for $110
• 240 watt hour station for $250
• 518 watt hour station for $500
• 1,002 watt hour station for $900 with a coupon right now

Now again, I’m an artisanal pencil sharpener, not an EE, but if you can charge these stations at the same time you’re using them to power your printer, you might be able to get away with the smaller battery and use it as a buffer like you were suggesting. That depends on how much power you’re getting in the basement though.

Conclusion

Although Huck and Jim have both undergone changes in character, the novel returns to its beginnings at the conclusion with the Widow Douglas trying to "sivilize" Huck. The last chapter allows Twain to comment on the process of writing and the difficulty of completing Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain's difficulty was due, in large part, to his struggle to decide between a social commentary and a children's adventure novel. Although Huck declares that if "I'd 'a' knowed what a trouble it was to make a book I wouldn't 'a' tackled it," the suggestion is that there will be yet another adventure for Huck, and yet another novel for Twain. Always the maverick, Huck announces that he will continue to try and avoid the trappings of civilization and seek his own freedom.

> this item is grossly under priced

So-called solar generators are typically grossly overpriced for what they are. Starbucks may have convinced Joe Sixpack to pay $5 for a cuppa, but this does not mean the $2 cup at the mom-and-pop is necessarily suspect.

cf. price anchoring

This particular item is $373 [at today's exhange rate] shipped for 40A of lithium, a sane price for the product from direct from the mainland.

> how jacked up the numbers are

That's how most of the "generators" have been marketed to the uninformed. Express the capacity in mAh to make it look 1000x bigger (suaoki, rockpals, goal zero). Or even worse list capacity as if the individual cells were in parallel (jackery, goal zero).

A bed is the most essential thing. I went with this bed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D11B2K2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like it because I hate inflatable beds and it seems comfy enough. Everything else is optional, depending on how long you are going for and what you are planning to do. I got 2 large laundry bags and 2 large storage bins. Bags are for clean/dirty clothes. Bins are handy for storing things that I want with me as well as being the right size for placing on the floor in front of the rear seats to fill in the space for placing my bed.

I also got a portable stove that uses propane to cook food. Others may go for less cooking but I'm doing it fulltime so I want to be able to eat real food, as opposed to eating out or eating prepackaged food all the time. This is the stove I went with: https://primus.us/products/tupike-portable-stove?bis_id=JGRKjOa&utm_campaign=stock-notification&utm_content=Tupike%20Portable%20Stove&utm_medium=email&utm_source=back-in-stock&variant=29444435607635 However, there are plenty of cheaper options out there. And this one is usually out of stock and when it's in-stock, it's only for a few days as it sells out very quick. There's a reason for that. They are very good, durable stoves that can fit in most large backpacking backpacks.

I'm currently using a regular cooler filled with ice to store perishable items but plan to eventually get a Demotic CFX3 for consistent long-term freezing. https://www.dometic.com/en-us/us/products/food-and-beverage/coolers/electric-coolers/dometic-cfx3-45-_-220582 It's not necessary but allows you to take with you frozen steaks/chicken, ice cream, vegetables, fruits etc. for a long trip without having to worry about your food.

The last thing I'll recommend is getting some sort of inverter/portable battery for charging electronics. I went with this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D29QNMJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Oh, and for privacy in the vehicle I went with limo grade tint in the rear. There are other options as well for that. Hope this helped, good luck!
