Powerpack solar review

Review of the xantrex xpower powerpack solar. The power pack solar is a mobile power pack that houses both ac and dc power outlets and features a 5 watt solar panel for green recharging. The unit is very well made and is slim enough to fit away in a corner or closet when not in use. The powerpack solar packs many high end features like, a 400 watt power inverter, 12 volt dc out, usb out and very bright led lights. At the heart of the powerpack solar is the 10 amp hour 12 volt sealed lead acid battery, which is good enough to provide a few hours of power to laptops, tv’s and other ac appliances. The battery can go longer when paired with low powered ac devices, like alarm systems and wireless routers. The 10 amp hour battery really shines when it comes to dc appliances. I was able to run a small 10 watt (0.8 amp) dc fan for well over 11 hours and still had usable power left in the powerpack. This means in an emergency, you would most likely want to use the dc ports and the built in led lights for many hours of use. I have used and played around with my powerpack solar for well over a month before I posted the review and have had noting less than an wonderful experience. The powerpack solar has served me well and was almost used in a power outage (too bad the outage lasted only 30 seconds). From my experience with other xantrex products and other mobile powerpacks in the past, I expect this unit to give me years of service before needing a replacement battery (5 years on average). One thing I am happy about is that xantrex offers a flat rate unit repair if your product is out of warranty and in some cases offers a reduced equipment cost if your out of warranty equipment needs replacement. I hope not to have to experience an emergency situation, but if the time and need comes, I know I have something that I can really depend on. To get your own powerpack solar, please visit www.amazon.com or www.xantrex.com for pricing and availability.

LIGHT DIRECTION (quick tip #11) light shields

here’s a update/modification to the solar lights. its enabling you to direct the light from the solar light.this is for the lights you might have that doesnt do it already. just take a piece of a can, and tape it or strap/zipper tie it to the solar light.where only half the light is exposed.you can use plain tape if you want to block the light,it just wont have a reflective surface like the can will.becareful so you dont cut yourself on the can.this will allow you to direct the light to a certain area instead of going out in all directions.it should magnify the light a lil more also.for more info on these lights,check out the installing electricity video.again these are the cheap lights im using,$3.00 each. ive got 9 on the pen and at 75 yards i can make out the feeder and if something is in the pen through the scope.this is for some hunting that doesnt have night vision and dont want to use up you battery on your spot light,r you just dont want to constantly turn your light on to check to see if something is in the pen that sets far out. we have more lights and set ups we’re putting together and testing and we’ll have those out at a later time.thx for watch’n and stay tuned for more BHC vids to come!!thx again!!
