I agree completely. That term and the whole solar generator thing drives me nuts on these. They even advertise them as being quiet generators. I'm afraid it might be too late to fix this and these...

Meh price. It was just $93 in May.

Technically, that is but one of a few definitions for generator. gen·er·a·tor /ˈjenəˌrādər/ noun: generator; plural noun: generators 1. a person or thing that generates something.

Haha yes but what's definition #2 and is it more relevant? ;)

At 100 watts max, it's going to be tough to run some higher draw things like CPAPs. Also, it seems odd that they'd have a DC output but not use the more standard 12v cigarette lighter adapter. I...

*(AC 110v-220/240 @60hz, or 12-24v DC electrical power) insert between solar and generator. I did not include 1-3 phase A/C power since most people are not familiar with the term. You're welcome.

Sorry, perhaps I got carried away. Thanks for your response and for trying to get things back on track👍

If weight isn't an issue, just get a cheap $80-90 marine deep cycle battery and power inverter. 800Wh vs this 167Wh.

Do gas generators come with gas?
Post #137977469 added 06-13-2020 7:12 PM by cruxion in Deal Talk
Also they're just saying don't buy the smallest one they make if you want to power that stuff. Their larger models work for all of the stuff listed.

Got one to power me A/C and fridge. May get another to power my water heater

Pisses me off when they call gas generators generators. They don't even come with gas and you have to plug them into a gas source to get them to do anything other than weigh down paper. Then when...

It just pisses me off that these batteries are called a generator. Its not a generator.
Post #138089435 added 06-18-2020 4:32 AM by Bombebomb in Deal Talk
A generator only supplies power while it's being powered by something. A storage device (such as a gas tank or a battery) can store energy until it's ready to be used. A gas tank by itself is a...

Love how you changed "creates electricity" to "doesnt create energy" Nobody said it created energy. It creates electricity
Post #137978471 added 06-13-2020 8:11 PM by harvester45 in Deal Talk
For someone so concerned with the proper use of thed English language, you are defending a misnomer. This generates nothing. This device stores and then delivers power, it does not generate...

not lower enough. wait
Post #137972954 added 06-13-2020 2:50 PM by Bombebomb in Deal Talk
If they came WITH the solar panel.....then you could call it a generator loosely.... This box is a storage device though, not a generator.
Post #137975579 added 06-13-2020 5:31 PM by JohnD1987 in Deal Talk
Pretty sure they are called generators since these are used in pretty much the same situations you would use a gas generator. Pretty similar to asking someone to xerox something...
Post #137977766 added 06-13-2020 7:27 PM by afrugalfather in Deal Talk
Depends what time it's delivered. And it does come with an electric charge, so its good to go right out of the box (for a little while at least).

Post #137995826 added 06-14-2020 4:12 PM by maxblockm in Deal Talk
Sorry father, bomb is correct, and your analogy is not. The solar analog of your query for a gas generator would be "Do solar generators come with sunlight?", which of course they do not. For it...
Post #137997578 added 06-14-2020 5:51 PM by afrugalfather in Deal Talk
Not sure where you are getting a dictionary definition that a generator needs to produce "energy in a usable form." But going with that statement without any citation for the moment, a gas generator...
Post #137997026 added 06-14-2020 5:21 PM by maxblockm in Deal Talk
It's not about buying something. It's about producing energy in a usable form. Solar panel by itself won't generate 12v dc or 110v ac (energy in a usable form). It needs the voltage converter to...
Post #137996687 added 06-14-2020 5:00 PM by afrugalfather in Deal Talk
The point is that Going by your definition a gas generator as bought from the store is not a generator either, because without gas it is merely an empty gas tank with a converter. If one wants to...

Maybe you are late to the thread, my comments are merely tongue in cheek responses to the stressed out first commenters on the thread that are upset that companies market these as solar generators...
Post #137985863 added 06-14-2020 8:27 AM by afrugalfather in Deal Talk
Are you taking about a gas generator? It stores gas then delivers power, it doesn't generate electricity either (not without plugging it in to a gas source first to fill it up). It actually loses...

Post #137983994 added 06-14-2020 6:47 AM by Toller in Deal Talk
Well, if they broke it within a day, they would have a valid complaint that it broke. I have lithium batteries that shut off if you overdraw them. If this doesn't, then it is junk.

It will handle all three, you just have to rotate them.

If they didn't morons would break it within a day and then complain it broke.

To be fair, this thing wouldn't have come with sun either

How big of a power station do you need to run a microwave? I'd think a small microwave could run of a 1000W inverter.

Sun isn't what this uses, it uses electrical energy. It comes with electrical energy and you can even refill it at home with various sources without having to drive to a gas station. I don't...
