Although still vastly different things to compare.
The Generator is noisy,
It consumes a Fuel which is both an ongoing expense as well as requires more weight and volume to store.
Is extremely inefficient at low power draws.
Requires ongoing regular maintence.For Example. i need something to power my Fridge and Laptop for a Camping trip.
Laptop Consumes 60 watt, Fridge an average of say 40ish per hour (cycled load).
If i bring a Generator, i have to keep that running the entire time with it only drawing around 100odd Watts from it. It will still burn through its fuel tank in 5ish hours because its Efficiency falls through the floor when your trying to draw a small load from it.
Where as the Lithium Battery will get a comfortable 18-20 hours of draw under this load. if im only using the Laptop for a few hours each day, than thats more than a enough to last a weekend camping trip. I can charge it up at Home and not even worry about solar etc. Seems like the much better option in this Scenero to me.
An example where Battery technology is far ahead internal combusion systems.
Where as if i needed to run a Electric Cooker or Frier etc (some high load device) Then you would prob be better off with a Fuel based generator.
Definitely different merrits to the different techonolgys and not always a direct replacement for one another.
And both work really well inside of a van 🤣
Can't run the Honda indoors, can't run it at night without upsetting the neighbours, if you bring it with you camping, you won't be able to use it during fire bans / bush fire season at many camp sites. If for some reason you can't get out to get more fuel, it's dead as well, compared to hooking up the battery one to a solar panel, which you can get from ebay.
Depends on use case scenario. If you use as a remote backup/on a farm etc then yep, go a generator but if your traveling/camping etc then that changes things.
Your weight calculations are dry weight, add 4L of fuel to your generator and you're getting closer to the weight of a battery based unit. Add just 1 refill and you're already heavier.
If you're in a vehicle then you also need to consider fuel storage. Overlanders are mainly going to be driving deisel 4x4's and be carrying additional deisel and would then need to carry additional petrol. This also needs to be carried outside of the vehicle where space is most likely taken by deisel, water, spare tyres etc
You're power usage is also based on max power output. If you're going bush then you'll be charging phones, lights, laptops etc which power could easily be topped back up charging via solar or a DC to DC charger.
Lastly noise. Nothing worse the heading hours away from the city to get some piece and quite, in the middle of nowhere, enjoying nature, than to have some muppet fire up a generator and go ruin it all.
So again, if you're out on your remote property/worksite and require max output for extended periods of time, then yes go for the generator and run it all day long but battery units do have their place.
Technically the Honda takes around 1 million years to refill…
Also, conditions required to make the fuel no longer exist in our modern world as we don't allow trees to sit in huge piles under ground/dirt for millions of years anymore.
@gaintwhale why not put the total price in title. I do not want to go through checkout process to see what is the final price for delivering it to Sydney.
Also can you confirm this model is for Australian market (iow has Australian AC power out sockets installed), given it is shipped from CN warehouse.
Note, can only solar charge with 3 x solar panels in series, so can't just charge with 1 x 12v panel
Is there one with lfp and can hook up to an AC inverter in my garage?
$439 at aliexpress…
Think you may be looking at the solar panel price in US$. One of those deceptive ads that gives the lowest price of the multiple items selling. The actual generator is around $2500AU on Ali.
If I bought 10 of these for 12k
That would give me 20 kilowatts of battery.Hmmmm
InterestingSo the OP vanished and does not reply, not a good indicator of future customer service if problems arise
It seems to be down to $749 USD using code "NEO2000"
My only issue is, there doesn't seem to be an Australian version? Or is there?
They told me they have an AU version
An example of how lithium batteries are still well behind internal combustion systems in some respects.
This device has 2073Wh, or say 1,800W power output for 1.15 hour. Weighs 26kg. Takes minimum 1.8h to refill once drained. If you have something to fill it with (charge it). If you are relying on 600W worth of solar panels, will take minimum 3.3h to recharge.
Honda EU22i weighs 21kg, has rated output of 1800W and a 4L fuel tank and can run at rated output for 2 hours but takes only a few moments to refill. Refills are easily stored and carried.
