Good morning, all this is the all powers - aps-007, portable solar generator. It's a portable power bank with lithium-ion, that is, nickel, manganese cobalt cells. Battery capacity is 164 amp hours now that's at 3.7 volts, so that gives it a capacity of 606 watt hours. Now, looking at the front panel, you can see that we've got two ac outlets here.

This is a 230 volt unit. These are world outlets, so they can take pretty much any plug. They can certainly take the uk plug, although i do see one small problem, and that is the wire will hang down partially over that display i'll switch. The display on which i can do just by pressing the ac button.

Now that doesn't turn on the ac inverter to do that, you have to press and hold, but that's saying hello, 54 percent state of charge and no watts either in or out of the unit on the front panel. Also, we have these two lights, so we can turn those on. I think they're one watt leds they beep and they also turn on the display when you switch them on and then the other buttons on the front. As i say, ac invert, i have to press and hold this one turns the dc outlets on, and this one turns on bluetooth and we'll have a look at the bluetooth app a bit later on to turn on the ac inverter press and hold for about five Seconds and the ac inverter comes on on the left hand, side of the unit.

We have a cover here over the cigar, lighter 12 volt output, we'll have a look at the voltage on that and the current capability. There are two inputs here. This one is for the supplied, ac adapter, which we'll have a look at in a minute that, i believe, is a 5521 socket, and this one is intended for use with um all powers, solar panels, which will have a lead terminated in an anderson power pole. This is a pp50 connector on the right hand, side of the unit.

There are two connector arrays. Now this one is usbs. Two of them are a different color to the other one. So i'm expecting quick charge, two or three, probably three on that.

There's also a usb type-c. Now this one is interesting, because not only is it an output, but it's also an input. You can charge this power bank through that usbc connector. Here there are two 12 volt outputs, they're five five two ones.

I believe i'll just check that now these are five five two fives, so the pin here is 2.5 millimeters the barrel. Diameter is 5.5 millimeters i'll just check these 12 volt outputs yeah. These are five five two fives, because the five five two one uh plug doesn't fit, but the five 5525 does things supplied. Are the manual also a power supply? Now this is a multi-voltage input.

Output is 20 volts at five amps, and the plug on the end is a five five to one and also for this unit. Um a uk type plug here, with a figure of eight connector. On the other end for the power supply. Okay, let's start charging the power bank plug in the power supply, the display comes on and that's charging at 99 watts.

It says on the display 99 watts in now. This number here is uh time remaining to empty, possibly also to full. Yes, it is because it's just gone down from 311 to 310, so that's the time remaining to full, in this case uh the percentage, the lower digit flashes on and off not quite sure. Why - and this says, 99 in what a not entirely sure what a means, but i'm going to treat that as watts first test is of the 12 volt dc output on the barrel jack.

There i've got two amps currently being pulled. Let's turn up the fine control. Three amps four amps, four point: eight five point: oh nine: it should have a five amp limit: five 5.5. This is beeping and it's cut the power so yeah the 5 amp limit is working.

Okay next test is the 12 volt dc cigarette lighter output test. So we'll get some current running through there. Let's go for 10 amps on the course uh. That's all i can pull.

Ah, we've got 1.19 volts. That's interesting! Let's take that back and see at what current that starts to drop away. It looks like this one is protected simply by lowering the voltage, so i've got 12.4 volts at 9.25, amps, 9.9 amps 12.3 volts immediately. You hit 10 amps.

It drops to 1.26 volts so that one doesn't cut out, but it is protected against over current. Simply by the voltage falling away right, let's check the usbs first, i'm going to turn off the dc. Yes, that does turn off the usbs, so you need the dc subsystem on to have usb so the first socket here i can select 5 volts and that's all that's the only voltage on that socket. Let's go to the second socket.

That's come up as 5 volts about 5.2, but i can also select 9 volts, that's 8.88 and i can also select 12 volts. So that's quick charge. 3 compatible. Let's go to the third usb type, a socket, also 5 volts and 9 volts and 12 volts.

So there's one 5 volt socket and there are two quick charge: 3 compatible usb type a's on this unit. Let's try pulling three amps from the first usb type, a so that's: 1.5, 1.7, 1.92 amps, 2.2, no reduction in the 5 volts, that's still 5.1 and we'll take that all the way to the top of this unit. Still 5.1 volts and 3 amps got 15 watts showing there. So, yes, that socket certainly can provide 15 watts at 5 volts.

The second quick charge compatible usb and that's gone down to 4.8 volts at 3 amps. Let's back the current off a little bit to two point say two amps and yeah: the voltage is creeping back up. Four point: nine volts on there: let's leave it at two amps and put it on the third socket and once again, 4.8 at 2 amps. Let's wind that up to 3 amps and that's holding 4.8 almost 4.9 volts at 3 amps, so they seem quite capable usb type, a outlets right, let's check usb type c, i'm going to put the pd trigger on there and just check what voltages we have available.

So initially, 5 volts, i'm just going to turn off the dc and see if that goes off, and no it doesn't so that doesn't seem to be controlled by the dc subsystem i'll leave that off just for the moment, we can trigger 9 volts. Also 12 volts green on here, 15 volts and 20 volts, so we've got the full range of voltages coming out of the usb type-c connector right now. Let's try plugging in my ravpower power bank and see what we get on the ruyden tester. Okay.

So that's 20. Volts at 1.5 amps, so that's 30 watts coming out of usb type-c, now you'll notice that the display on here has switched to 34 watts. If i take this back out, it shows the input watts 99 watts coming in from the ac power adapter. But if i plug in something on the output just wait for this to switch on this flips over, so it shows you either the output or the input, but not both at the same time.

Now, if i press and hold this button on the ravpower for 10 seconds, it should switch to the other mode where, ah now, that's interesting, it's saying 169 watts in. Let me just take out the mains. So now the ravpower is actually supplying the uh power bank with 70 watts. Now, there's nothing recorded on here other than voltage.

It doesn't show uh current going in, but yeah we're getting 70 watts from this ravpower into this unit charging it up and we can also plug in the mains power pack. And then this goes up to 170 watts, the 99 plus the 70 coming in. So we're dual charging it and that seems to work and when the rav power is outputting, it can actually output 60 watts. So it's doing 19.8 volts at 3.15 amps and i don't know whether you can see that, but it's 62.6 watts going from this power bank into the portable power station um.

In addition, of course, to the 100 watts of mains coming in so 167 watts in total. Going in to the power station, so i think that's a really neat feature. You can charge this um from the usb type-c. Now some of the folding solar panels have a usb type-c output, so you could charge this from the input on the left from one solar panel and possibly the usb type-c.

At the same time, something i'd like to try when the sun comes out. So now i'm charging the all powers from two solar panels: uh, unfortunately, there's not a lot of sun, so we're only getting nine watts coming in. But what's interesting is that this jackery panel here i'm actually using the usb c connector and i'm going into the usbc connector on the all powers. Now, on the power oak panel over there, i'm going first to mc4s then to a 7909 connector and then into the anderson power pole on the all powers.

And if i take out the usbc, it goes from 9 watts to 6 watts. So there's twice as much power coming in through the mc-4s as there is on the usbc, but the numbers are so tiny that it's really quite difficult to tell. But, yes, you can power it with two solar panels simultaneously. As long as one of them has a usbc output, now, unfortunately, there's not much going on up in the sky there and the weather forecasts not looking terribly good in terms of sunshine for well at least the next two weeks.

So i'm gon na have to do uh. Some sort of video supplement related to solar charging on the all powers. Portable power station ah well momentarily it's a little bit brighter in the sky and what i didn't realize was the sun so low in the sky that i needed to elevate the two panels. So there they are on my panel frame and we are getting 35 watts.

The contribution from mc4s on the solar input is 19. Add to that usbc and we've got 35. So that's 16. I think that's dropped a bit now yeah.

So those are the contributions from the usbc solar panel and the mc-4s solar panel right. Let's do some ac output tests now you see what i mean about plugging a plug in there, because on our plugs the wire comes downwards. It is partially blocking the display. So i'm going to put that one in this side because we do want to be able to see the display, let's turn on the ac outlet press and hold the ac button until that turns on the fan, briefly, powers up, there's a fan on this side.

Let's turn off the dc: okay, i'm going to turn on my oil filled radiator. I think the initial power is 800 watts, so that's beeping. It doesn't like that. There's a little fan heater built into this radiator.

Let's turn that, on that's 400 watts i'll need to switch the ac back on and see if it can sustain 400 watts, it should be able to because it's rated for 500 watts, continuous and 1000 watts peak so yeah. The little fan heater is running. This is climbing quite slowly but 336 360. 340.

Okay - that's settled down at around 350 watts, so it seems happy to sustain that. But then, if i turn on the oil filled part which will put a massive load on this, not happy and it shuts down. Let's just look at the correlation between the two watt meters. This plug-in watt meter is saying that the fan heater is pulling 380 watts and this one is showing 370.

The fan has come on on the inverter, but this is moving around quite a lot up to 415 390 370. So it does vary quite a bit and the fan heater is about 385 watts. One thing: i've noticed if you turn the inverter on with no load connected, because it draws a small amount of energy power showing six what's on here. It doesn't show you then what's coming in and it does look like it's still charging from the mains adapter, but you can't see it so you have to turn off the ac subsystem and then you can see the 100 watts that's coming in from the ac adapter.

So it's now saying 100 full on the percentage indicator. This is no longer flashing, but it is still pulling in 98 watts from the mains power supply, so i'll leave it until that reduces to zero, it's uh, presumably doing balancing and or absorption that sort of thing. At the moment, so i've been charging this unit and it's now at 100 percent, but the charger continued to charge for a couple of hours. The uh power in is falling more and more so i'm going to wait till that falls down to zero.

That means that this thing is absolutely full. Then i'm going to run a full discharge test at around 400 watts, i think, into an ant miner and i'll monitor the total watt hours on this meter. Okay, the display has gone off so, let's take out the ac adapter switch on the ac, pure sine wave, inverter output that will switch on the ant miner, and i will reset this monitor and we'll do a full discharge test. I'll try and get a better picture of that.

So the miner is running, we're discharging at 340 watts and i will clock up the total kilowatt hours or what hours as this thing drops all the way down to zero. Now, down to fifty percent on the state of charge indicator we've been running for 41 minutes. The miner is drawing 355 watts and so far we've clocked up 237. What hours i'll keep going until the end there's a little bit of warmth on the top here.

That's obviously where the inverter is the fan's running constantly now seven percent left on the state of charge indicator it's showing there's a run time of just one minute left. I think it might be a bit more than that um we're looking for with a 606 watt hour battery times 0.94 um 90 in inverter efficiency. We're really looking for five four five watt hours so i'll leave it to drop completely out. I'm not sure we are going to get 90 efficiency actually because it's pretty warm up here, that's got to be 40 degrees, plus possibly a little bit more and there's very warm air coming out of the fan port but i'll leave the camera running, try and capture The moment that it shuts off see if we can get the what our reading from this, what meter and it's shut down and we've got 485 watt hours, which is a bit below where i would have expected.

It 545 was what i expected. So what do i think about the all powers? Ap ss007 portable power station? Well, despite its rather odd shape, this low height could actually be very useful in something like an rv or a caravan that could fit on a shelf that another power bank that has the handle built in may not this one you can fold down, so it does Have a very low height and that could be very useful. The other thing i like is this usb type c, which works as both an output, 60 watts and also an input also 60 watts. That makes this thing really quite versatile, um, a good array of input and output connections and also this bluetooth functionality, which i have got to work um.

You can control most of the functions of this, including actually turning the lights on and off, using a bluetooth app. I didn't have a chance to include that in this video, but i'll perhaps do a supplementary video uh on that bluetooth functionality. So that's the all powers, apss 007, portable solar generator now there's a whole set of links in the description below check them out. Cheerio.
