Anker’s SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 and BLUETTI’s Elite 200 V2 store almost exactly the same energy, 2,048Wh against 2,073.6Wh. The real differences are in how much each one weighs, how far it expands and what it can run. Anker lists the C2000 Gen 2 at 41.7 lb with 2,400W continuous output, a 4,000W peak and […]

Four 45-liter compressor fridges cover most van builds in 2026, and their makers’ own energy numbers differ by more than 2.5x. EcoFlow rates the GLACIER Classic 45L at 190Wh per 24 hours in Eco mode at a 4°C setting. Dometic lists the CFX3 45 at 1.03Ah per hour in a 32°C room. ICECO’s manual for […]
BougeRV makes two very different 200W flexible panels: the Arch Pro, with 25%-efficient N-type TOPCon cells in a 53 × 31-inch sheet, and the Yuma, a CIGS thin-film panel at 17% efficiency that’s about 82 inches long and bends a full 360°, according to BougeRV’s spec tables. On BougeRV’s US store on October 17, 2026, […]
A portable power station can charge an electric vehicle, but expect a few miles of range, not a full tank. Run the numbers on my own 2,048Wh EcoFlow Delta 3 Max and it works out to roughly 4–7 miles, depending on the car (estimate). There’s also a catch that stops many attempts before they start: […]
Starlink rates the Mini at 25–40W average with a 12–48V DC input and a 60W maximum, so going off-grid is mostly about delivering that power without wasting it. I’ve run my own Starlink Mini four ways: from a small power station with a folding solar panel, from a power station’s 12V socket through a step-up […]
Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 takes up to 400W of solar, but only if you split it evenly across its two DC8020 inputs, because each port is capped at 200W and 10.5A, according to Jackery’s support specifications for the JE-1000D. Jackery says two SolarSaga 200W panels refill the 1,070Wh LiFePO4 battery in about 3.8 hours of […]
EcoFlow’s 800W Alternator Charger (model EF-FC-301-1) refills a compatible DELTA power station from your vehicle’s 12V or 24V battery at up to 800W while you drive, and EcoFlow says that tops up 1kWh in about 1.3 hours. It also works in reverse: it can maintain or recharge a starter or RV house battery from the […]
BLUETTI’s Elite 100 V2 packs a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery and 1,800W of AC output into a 25.3-pound case, and it can take up to 1,000W of solar, according to BLUETTI’s user manual (V5.1). The company’s US store listed it at $499 on October 17, 2026, with bundles that add a 100W, 200W or 350W panel. […]
Anker’s Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W), model A110A, can push 300W across three ports at once and recharge at up to 250W using both USB-C inputs, according to Anker’s US product page. Anker says that refills it to 50% in about 13 minutes and to 80% in about 40. The 26,250mAh pack works out to […]
Switching an RV to lithium (LiFePO4) batteries often goes hand in hand with a new inverter charger, because the unit that charges the batteries from shore power also has to match lithium’s voltage needs. Two widely installed 12V, 3kW-class options show what to look for. Victron’s datasheet for the MultiPlus-II 2x120V 12/3000 lists 2,400W continuous […]
