Thank you. Nice to be appreciated.

I would take it back. If you get another one, let me know how it works.

@@LoneStarPrepping defective temperature control

Yes I did... Glad you found me...

Thank you

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch it!

Thank you. I appreciate it!

No problem!

Glad I could help

@@JackSwick Thanks for watching

Actually, the little tag that shows amps usually give you max running amps, not surge. When you multiply by volts, it sometimes is lower than even the actual max running watts and has nothing to do with the startup or surge watts. On a fridge, that formula does not work for surge watts on a non inverter fridge. I have a series of videos that go into detail about how to manage solar charged portable power stations, which includes clamp meter and line splitter. This is the most accurate way to find out surge watts. I go over the appliance lables, of course, as well... ua-cam.com/video/yoPLzOlUez0/v-deo.htmlsi=N2UmHdjz8awnDR4e

@@LoneStarPrepping I was just telling you about this method for your viewers that don't have volt and amp meters. Not all amp meters will show the max current at start up. It is also hard to get a surge amp reading on a 240 volt split phase load or any 3 phase load that has 208, 240, or 480 volt 3 phase. My formula will help with all single phase, split phase, and all 3 phase loads. I know that they don't have small solar power stations that have 3 phase, But they will soon. I have worked on lots of 3 phase fuel powered generators. I know they already make 3 phase inverters for large commercial buildings that have solar panels and all solar farms have to use 3 phase inverters. I am just mentioning a way that can get a surge amp rating using a simple formula on all types of electrical hookups like your 240 volt split phase central air conditioner. Have a great day.

I appreciate that, but I explained that basic formula as well in the video link I sent. This video was not about how to use the clamp or formula. It was partially about proving the surge rather than me just telling people how to test the surge.

Thanks for watching! Glad I could help.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Sorry to hear about that. I had no problem with customer service with one of my first ecoflow units a few years back. Since then no problems any of my units.

@@LoneStarPrepping oh good to hear. I have heard from other people that they have gotten better. And my replacement unit has been working flawlessly for quite some time now.

Time for another video, I guess...

Its a little older. I would look for a newer one, but be sure it is an inverter generator. I believe it is floating.

There is an adaptor for that.

Glad to help

Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Not sure where you are getting your numbers... If it is sunny out and I have my panels placed correctly, I can run it all day and into the night for a good long time. I also have 2 extra batteries if needed. If you want to learn how to manage the power, I have a video on my page that teaches how to do that. ua-cam.com/video/yoPLzOlUez0/v-deo.html

Good idea as long as it doest restrict the air flow at all.

@@LoneStarPrepping i turn the unit off & clean it from time to time. the inside has a screen to clean so i figure why not the outside?

Pssh, I built my first off grid system over 8 years ago... 10k watt battery bank... ua-cam.com/video/HxJ-MUePm-Y/v-deo.htmlsi=PLOQaEd1aB5qLH_0

How does it work for you? I have never used one.

Thank you!

Sorry to hear you had problems, but 11,400 people, at least, rated the cheapest one a 4.5 on average. For you to conclude that because your one radio had problems, you would never buy ANY crank radio again, after seeing my tests, is a little short sided. If not a crank radio, what radio would you buy for emergencies?

​@@LoneStarPrepping The August 2020 derecho in Iowa sealed the fate of a handcrank 'emergency radio' in my eyes. I was without power for 11 days. I didn't touch that crank radio. While internet over cell phone was almost non-existant, we did have sporadic cell phone service. The car radio (even in my tree damaged SUV) was still operable (even though many local radio stations were off the air or on reduced power due to damage to towers, communication lines, lack of backup power, etc. Oddly, my landline telephone was still in operation even though the neighbors to each side of me had no landline telephone. In my opinion, keeping a couple of spare (and charged) batteries around (with the ability to recharge a cell phone or jumpstart a car) is a good idea. A hand crank will only generate a tiny amount of power (and I wonder how long those solar panels will take to recharge a standard 5000mAh cell phone battery? How many cranks of that generator?). In the aftermath of that storm, there were enough resources available to keep the batteries topped off. Finding an open gas station selling fuel was more of a challenge (often involving a 30 minute drive to wait in a line nearly 90 minutes. Every car had not only the car's fuel tank, but also at least one or two extra fuel containers for generators and chainsaws, as a hand crank generator will not supply enough power.). And as for the NWS broadcasts, I often find them to be too late. The bad stuff has already gone down by the time the NWS puts out a warning. Look at a good radar through a mobile app, THAT will help you more. Yup, that storm changed my perspective.

Im not trying to talk you into a crank radio, even though it is a good idea. You do what you think is best, and after an emp hits, I will take my crank radio out of my faraday cage and be able to use it whereas you will have nothing. Good luck with that.

Thanks for the comment. I passed on the wave. I really like the setup I have.

I have a couple videos showing us going through a self made 24hr power outage. I believe I spoke about the cord and how an electrician set us up with the correct size. Thanks for comment.

I also have 2 pros now. ua-cam.com/video/qqd_rPqo6Cc/v-deo.htmlsi=jRiZnsBU2FcOHByO I also have another video that shows me using it on window AC. ua-cam.com/video/MkH6B_AzNQ0/v-deo.htmlsi=5kj5DwhKspXw7tKb

Trekking poles are great!

I dont know. It may. Giver a try! Being higher in oil than bread flour, it wont last as long though.

I dont think it makes any difference. Its just doing what it is designed to do.

I answered in your last comment...

There is no "best" radio for that, but I think the midland radio may be helpful. The weather part is just one feature. However, I think the best is some kind of ham radio. I have videos on this. Keep them in a faraday cage.

Pretty close, but I would add butter or some kind of fat and baking powder, and I would be a little more careful about the water to flour ratio (hydration) etc... Also I would knead it until very smooth...

There are radios out there with tv band. They dont seem to be very popular though.

Not really, right now. If everything went shtf, it may be helpful to get info from different parts of the world.

Thank you

What model ac

@@LoneStarPrepping Frigidaire FFRA051WAE. I saw it a few years ago on the Professor solar guy`s vids. A tiny little cheap 900w generator ran it so I got both but later had enough to get the big battery for Louisiana storms.

Looks like a nice little unit. I think it is very much like what I have except you say it has soft start. I cannot find anywhere online where it says soft start. Please forward link. That would be the one thing that I would like better than my unit. Mine uses 100 watts more at times but I think that means more cooling by more fan power, and my portable power station can easily handle that. The issue is about keeping the start up watt demand down. Thats why I want the info about the soft start you said it has.

Please explain the soft start on the unit. I dont see it when I look it up.

​@@LoneStarPrepping I think that means it doesn't surge at a higher wattage when started, it starts at a lower wattage then slowly ramps up to the running watts, again I think

No idea what you are talking about.

A regular freezer is designed to work within a smaller temperature range in a controlled interior environment, like a house. Garage ready freezers are equipped to handle a larger fluctuation of external temperatures, with a range of 0-110°F. This room for fluctuation allows you to place your freezer in the garage in the summer and throughout the winter and worry less about whether or not it may be able to handle harsh temperatures.

I had no idea. Nevertheless, its in our house.

Series in this setup...

Thank you...

Glad I could help out...
