Written companions to my YouTube video reviews.
My Starlink runs off an off-grid system, and the solar panel is what keeps the whole thing going. If the panel’s output isn’t steady, the internet isn’t either. For this review, BougeRV sent me the BougeRV Arch Pro 200W Flexible Solar Panel, and I put it straight into the setup that powers my Starlink. I […]
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no cost to you. I put my EcoFlow Delta 3 Max on a scale for my latest YouTube video, and it read exactly 44.8 lb (20.3 kg), a perfect match for EcoFlow’s spec. It measures about 19.4 × 9.4 × 12 inches and still carries […]
Update: The weBoost Home MultiRoom (model 470144) is weBoost’s second most powerful home booster, rated for up to 5,000 sq ft and up to 65 dB of gain on every major US carrier, 5G included. Below, I’ve added a full installation walkthrough, the band and carrier chart, and a worked example of how to read […]
The XZNY 12V 18Ah LiFePO4 battery packs about 230Wh into a roughly 4 lb case, and XZNY rates it for 4,000+ cycles with a built-in 20A BMS. That combination makes it one of the easier ways to power LED lights, a fish finder, a ham radio or a small solar project without hauling a heavy […]
Batteries lose charge even when they’re not in use. A small solar trickle charger keeps them topped up so they’re ready when you need them. I received the MHPOWOS 30W Solar Battery Trickle Charger along with a MHPOWOS LiFePO4 battery, and used the panel to charge the battery to full and keep my car battery […]
A dead battery shouldn’t mean waiting for roadside assistance. A portable jump starter gets you going in minutes. I was sent the S ZEVZO H021 Jump Starter and tested it on my own car to see if it could start it. It did. In this S ZEVZO jump starter review, I’ll cover the case, charging, […]
A pocket-size power bank is the easiest way to keep your phone, tablet, and earbuds charged on the go. I tested the LOVELEDI 15000mAh Portable Charger on my iPad and AirPods. This isn’t a sponsored post. It’s my honest take. In this LOVELEDI power bank review, I’ll cover the ports, charging my iPad and AirPods, […]
The MARBERO 88Wh portable power station puts a real AC outlet, USB-C PD, Quick Charge USB and a DC port into a 2.4 lb box with a carry handle. MARBERO rates it at 24,000mAh (88Wh) with 80W of continuous AC output and 120W peak, which covers laptops, cameras, tablets and earbuds on the go. I […]
If you have an older solar panel, a clamp meter tells you how much it has really degraded. I used the Klein Tools CL390 AC/DC Clamp Meter to test the open circuit voltage and short circuit current of a used solar panel that’s about 10 years old. In this Klein CL390 clamp meter review, I’ll […]
Carrying a Starlink Mini, a laptop, and all the cables gets messy fast unless you have a bag built for it. I loaded the DAIERTEK Starlink Mini Backpack with my Starlink Mini, my 13-inch MacBook Pro, the Starlink cable, and the power adapter to see how it handles a full mobile setup. In this DAIERTEK […]
