Review: ALLPOWERS S300 Portable Power Supply

Review this portable power station by ALLPOWERS. This is their S300 model that is rated at 300w and along with this I’ll be reviewing their 100w solar panel which can be used with this power station. It can do both AC and DC outputs and has a variety of ports for your needs which I’ll cover in a moment. This is a very compact unit so it makes it extremely portable and has a wide range of applications. #allpowers #camping #powerstation 10% Discount: DIYER Solar panel: https://iallpowers.ca/products/allpowers-sp027-polycrystalline-solar-panel-100w?_pos=5&_sid=172e5b98a&_ss=r&utm_source=Nadia%2F4DIYers&utm_medium=YouTube&utm_campaign=DIYER&utm_id=027 Power Supply: https://iallpowers.ca/products/allpowers-s300-portable-power-station-300w-288wh?utm_source=Nadia%2F4DIYers&utm_medium=YouTube&utm_campaign=DIYER&utm_id=005 Website: http://4diyers.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/4diyers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/4diyers Twitter: https://twitter.com/4DIYers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/4diyers/ Tumblr: http://4diyers.tumblr.com Pintrest: https://www.pinterest.com/4diyers/ At the top we have a heavy folding handle and a wireless charging pad for smartphones.  On the front we have two AC ports, two LED lights that can be controlled wirelessly or through the orange buttons, a large screen that shows a variety of information, a Bluetooth button, and DC and AC activation buttons.  Pressing any of the buttons will wake up the screen. It will show the current battery charge, and if something is plugged in it’ll show the draw and calculate how much time is left, the input if it’s charging, if the Bluetooth is activated, and if the AC or DC is on.  On the next side we have a cooling vent at the top, one USB-C port, and 3 USB-A ports. The USB-C can be used to charge a device or charge the power station, however the USB-A ports are only used to charge devices. Then there are two other DC out ports.  The other side has another cooling fan vent, a DC input, solar inputs, and a cigarette lighter-style 12v output. Here is the solar panel, this folds up in a neat package and is quite large when opened up.  Opening up the pouch, this is the wiring to hook up the panel to the power station.  Then removing the flap on the other side, it’s held together with velcro. Unfolding the panel and you can see the large size. Unfolded it’s 48x25.6 inches and folding it’s 20x25.6 inches.  Testing out the power station, here I have my Milwaukee battery charger hooked up to it and it can easily charge the battery.  This power station can be controlled wirelessly. I’ve already gone to the app store and downloaded the app, just search for Allpowers. I added the device, and then by clicking on it you can see all the data from the power station instead of viewing its screen. It’ll have the current percentage, time left on its current load, and input and output wattage. The DC and AC can be activated or deactivated here, and I can also control the lights from my phone.  With the phone charger on the top, I do find my phone has to be perpendicular to the power station and positioned off to the right side.  Testing out the solar panel, and plugging in the appropriate connectors. The connectors do have rubber gaskets which makes them weather resistant. On their website, you can attach multiple solar panels together decreasing the charge time for the power station. Today with it being overcast and no sign of the sun, it had an output of 1 watt.  The power station uses a ternary lithium battery and has an output waveform of pure sine wave which is acceptable for a wide range of electronic devices, including those that can be sensitive. It has various circuit protections that include a short circuit, over current, over power, over charge, and over temperature. There is a built-in cooling fan that isn’t overly loud. Through my testing, it only turned on for a brief moment. The power station weighs in at a total of 7.5lbs and the solar panel comes in at 7.9lbs.  As for the solar panel, it has a polysilicon solar cell, is waterproof, has 22% efficiency, max power of 18v, and a max current of 5.4 amps. The rear of the solar panel once opened has built-in stands to help angle the panel.  This whole setup is great for any small jobs where you need to power lights, use amperage power tools, or charge batteries. It can also be kept in your vehicle in case of an emergency, used for camping, a backup during a power outage, etc.  Thank you to all those who watch my videos and support my content.
