High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com Join me in this video where we take a closer look at the Blitzwolf BW-PG1 Power Station. This true power station can probably cover the needs of most users that go camping for a few days and need to keep their gadgets charged, it can probably also function as a good backup for prolonged power outages in your area. Its build quality it’s great too and that’s why I think you should consider adding this to your shortlist of choices..

They do also mention having approvals like FCC but I couldn’t find any FCC ID number that I could check so maybe they are in the process of getting that. There are however a couple of downsides worth mentioning: first it does not have an IP rating so it should be kept away from water to prevent any damage. This kinda limits the outdoor activity because you would have to watch out and keep it dry at all time. Dust or sand could also quite easily get inside the unit if you take it to the beach. Another important safety aspect is to not let it overheat so you should not run this in direct sunlight, you shouldn’t let it sit operating or not inside a vehicle where the temperature might exceed 50 degrees Celsius. This might harm the battery cells inside and might lead to unpredictable behavior. The wall charger can also get pretty got during operation so I would probably not leave that unattended. And some piece of advice to prolong the life of the battery cells, don’t just store and forget it. Charge it to roughly 50% level and check every 3 months or so and recharge if needed. Overall the market is quite diversified, There are smaller models, bigger ones, different output configurations so you’ll probably have to find one that suits your needs best but this one seems like a nice all rounder which sells for a very competitive price and is stocked in the EU warehouse so it’s worth considering it on your short list because of it’s good specs and good build quality. Personally I’ll probably consider adding a solar panel option as that can come in handy to harvest some free energy. That was all for today, I hope you enjoyed this review and teardown, as always I am interested in hearing your thoughts in the comments below.

High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com Join me in this video where I rant about bad datasheets and how they caused me trouble with two recent projects. The devices in question are power brick modules from TDPOWER a chinese manufacturer that makes good AC-DC modules but lags behind when it comes to the documentation.. →Datasheet TAS3-5 datasheet (pdf_cn) https://voltlog.com/y/cudi5 TAS5-5 datasheet (pdf_cn) https://voltlog.com/y/qki2v →Support the channel by clicking these links (CommissionsEarned) Aliexpress http://voltlog.com/y/kr0sa Ebay http://voltlog.com/y/jzkfp Amazon.com http://voltlog.com/y/qw4d3 Banggood.com http://voltlog.com/y/o4025 →Support the channel via Patreon, Paypal or Bitcoin http://www.voltlog.com/donations #VoltLog #TDPOWER #Datasheet ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z26BLbOBHNg
