Portable Solar Generators

 

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I’m back to report on how my testing was with the EBL Voyager 1000 I tested. To start things off, I’m an outdoors off-road enthusiast who loves spending his time outdoors regardless of the activity. Some of my main hobbies are boating, fishing, camping, and off-roading on my quad or dirt bike. I also spend an average of 50 nights per year in my roof top tent. Mind you I still manage to work full time as a System Administrator in the IT field. I’m fortunate enough to have the opportunity to telework. So long as I have power for my laptop, phone and have decent signal I can work anywhere. That is where this 1000-watt-hour unit and 100-watt Solarapollo panel come into play.

I can be mobile with this unit. It is small enough, light enough, and super easy to carry with its built-in handle. The total unit weight is 18lbs. Daily at any given time, I can simultaneously charge my laptop, phone, and power or charge another device so long as I don’t exceed the recommended limit. Even then this unit has a safety feature to automatically shut off if your power draw exceeded the limit.

I did some charge testing on this unit and was able to charge the following items x number of times with 1 test per item starting at a full Voyager battery. - HP laptop 20 full charges - Samsung Note Tested with over 25 full charges - Roof Top Tent lighting tested over 90 straight runtime hours - Electric heated blanket 5 hours straight runtime for 4 nights in a row - Portable 12v fan 62-hour straight runtime - Drone batteries 23 full charges - Cannon camera batteries tested over 20 full charges with plenty of room for more (Solarapollo 100Watt Panel)

Would I recommend this unit to? This unit is a midsize unit there are smaller size units however its all dependent on the power you need for your rigs. I would recommend to anyone who likes to spend some time outdoors and has the need to power some electronics or creature comforts. It can support devices for a family of 4 easily with moderate use. If you also plan on using a solar Solarapollo panel for charging you could essentially have continuous power indefinitely so long as your cautious on your usage and have adequate amount of sun. Specs: This unit has 3 USB- A, 1 USB- C, 12v, and 2 AC outputs, and wireless charging. It also has a DC input for charging via cigarette lighter. You can also pair with the unit a Solarapollo panel and essentially run continuous power while keeping this unit’s battery topped off. Recharge Times: AC Adapter: 8-12 hours via 12V Car adapter, Solara
