Seems like a good deal , power stations are getting to the price point that I think you could just about get away without upgrading your cars electrical system and dragging solar panels etc IF you can deal with AC charging, need more power buy 2 batteries etc.

Website says it"ll surge to 4,000w should be enough to run just about anything.

    Would this work as home server's UPS?

    • MikeKulls on 27/10/2024 - 09:15

      Looks like it would work quite well but maybe not designed to be on power all the time. It does say passthrough power (ups function) supported.

      • semaj on 27/10/2024 - 09:27

        It does say that, and it might be the case, however appears to be limited to 200W AC input - so provided the average/constant load is less than 200w (which should be the case for home server/networking) this might be a suitable unit.

        • Aldrin120 on 27/10/2024 - 09:57

          I think op changed it to 2kw

        • Dsiee on 27/10/2024 - 10:21

          That's input for charging, it also has pass through for UPS mentioned.

            @Dsiee: Spec's don't mention any inputs other than the 500w Anderson connection or the 200w DC7909 (120w from Car / 200w from AC adapter)
            - also no visible sign of another input in the photos

            @Dsiee: What do you think it's passing through? Where's the AC input?

            +1

            @Dsiee: It can't pass through any more than what it can input. That is why for any passthrough powerstations, I will only get those that don't use an AC to DC power brick.

            The Bluetti AC180 for example is more expensive, but it has a proper passthrough of 1800W, which it will do 24/7. Input is one of those 3 pin IEC cables, same as for your computer PSU, so it takes in 1800W and puts out 1800W like it has diarrhea. All flow and no interruptions.

    • tellhimhesdreaming on 27/10/2024 - 09:29

      Can't see any information about how quick it would fail over to battery or if it's constantly powering devices from battery and charging them at the same time? Curious about this use case too

      • semaj on 27/10/2024 - 09:52
        +2

        If the specs are correct and AC input is by way of "AC to DC7909 Adapter Input: 200W Max, 12-30V" its fairly safe to assume its constantly running through the battery/inverter system.

      • Rumbaar on 27/10/2024 - 12:37

        Their manual, on Voltx site, is pathetic. No mention of USP functionality in the specs or 'manual'. So I'd say it's not really an option.

    • kizzaaa on 27/10/2024 - 14:21

      The product description for the same product on Catch says UPS pass through charging. But I couldn’t find it in the manufacturer’s documentation.

      Personally I’d go purposely-built UPS for a home server. Likely cheaper and more reliable depending on your set-up.

    • MikeKulls on 27/10/2024 - 16:26

      Looking at the specs, it only does 200W charging. So if you load is 150W it's going to take a long time to charge.

      • skysurfer on 27/10/2024 - 16:54

        It says 500W input.

  • matthewperk on 27/10/2024 - 09:05

    approximately a 120ah battery at 12v. Which for context you'd be paying roughly $350 or more for a battery of similar capacity. And even then it wouldn't have a BMS that'd support 175a continuous to support a 2000w pure sine wave inverter.

    Not a bad deal as a all in one. Definately a viable alternative to a full 12v second battery setup for 4x4ing and camping.

    • Tyler Kwok on 27/10/2024 - 09:24

      Noob question: it seems the energy density (22kg/1.5 kwh) is around half of those on a ev (say byd seal, 437kg/66 kwh), is it normal for thses battery system?

      • goodwillN1 on 27/10/2024 - 09:33
        +2

        I don't think it makes sense to compare car battery with a hobby box.
        It's like comparing power to weight ratios of 2.0L truck and a 2.0L sports car. They can both provide movement but one is intended to move cargo and the other one transports two people fast..

        Car battery has a lot more capacity packed with relatively less weight added for cooling and management. This box has a much higher weight ratio of battery cells vs supporting weight (box structure, display, electronics, ports, etc.)
        To make a "fairer" comparison you would have to compare strictly the battery cell weight. And even then the car ones would be made to rely on more external protection.

      • matthewperk on 27/10/2024 - 11:26

        Don't know about car batteries. But for 12v lithium car batteries you're usually looking in the realms of 10kg per 100ah. Given this power station also has a 2000w inverter and a DCDC charger built in it makes sense its around the 20kg range.

      • gtech on 27/10/2024 - 12:17

        Also car batteries are lithium NMC not lifepo4 which inherited have higher capacity but are more volatile.

        • vorsprung on 27/10/2024 - 21:23

          Not all. A lot of the common EVs in Aus today use LFP, where the reduced weight (and thus performance) of NMC isn’t required: Model 3 & Y RWD, and I think the entire BYD range in Aus).

      • matthewperk on 27/10/2024 - 11:25
        +1

        yeh but the gentrax battery can't handle more than 50 or 100amp input/output. The closest equivalent would be a kings 120ah lithium, and they sell for around $350 on a regular sale.

        • m9 on 27/10/2024 - 11:39

          Also VoltX 100Ah was $159 ($289 - $29 - $101) from this deal last month.

    • fantacular on 27/10/2024 - 10:17

      Except you’ll probably end up junking the whole thing if the battery dies

    • Rumbaar on 27/10/2024 - 12:32
      +1

      Yeah, 12V 120ah still wont have a BMS to handle 2000w output. Most of that size only have 100a sustained out. Then you need a 2000w inverter + DCDC/MPPT charger. So looking at around ~$600+ and still limited to 1200w. Only negative of this, is the single 12v 10a output, for camping.

    This is starting to make sense as a fridge UPS setup with OVO. My fridge uses an average of 50W, which adds up to 1200Wh per day, or about 30 cents daily. If I connected my fridge to this with a timer set to provide power from 11 am to 2 pm, it would pay for itself in about eight years. I wonder if it would last that long.

    • mrshorty on 27/10/2024 - 10:14

      yeah wondering what the life expectancy of one of these would be - assume one of these units just have a 12 month warranty

      • ballistykx on 27/10/2024 - 12:24

        Listing says 2000+ cycles for LFP battery so I'm guessing 5.5 years if fully discharging and charging everyday.

      You're rolling the dice, but if you add interest on top, admittedly not much, it makes it look even more iffy.

      From my experience with UPS' at least, you won't get 8 years.

    • witsa on 27/10/2024 - 12:46

      Why 11am to 2pm? It says it takes 9 hours to charge. You'd need it on from 9am- 6pm.

      3hr free time with ovo. You would need dc anderson charging 500w per hr, as AC was limited to 200w per hour.

    Is there any smartbms features such as Bluetooth to see what is actually happening to (8) cell voltages. If there is no way of seeing this then buy with unpredictable life span after 12mth warranty expires.

  • tanksinatra on 27/10/2024 - 12:49

    Interesting device but with only 200w AC input it's a bit of a missed opportunity to be able to use it as a UPS

    • Rumbaar on 27/10/2024 - 13:19

      Depends on what you are looking to cover with the UPS, if it's under 200w of AC draw. It would still provide coverage. But yes, that is extremely low for any 'passthrough' functionality, but not impossible. My Unifi 48 port PoE switch has a max consumption draw of 60w.

      • tanksinatra on 27/10/2024 - 14:24

        Yeah I was looking at this to power my home office and NAS so I could continue working through a blackout. But unfortunately 200w is way too low.

        • Rumbaar on 27/10/2024 - 15:24

          Yeah it'll work for offline power, but not as a UPS.

    • skysurfer on 27/10/2024 - 16:57

      The UPS can supply 2000W. The 200W is what you can charge the unit with via AC power. 500W via DC Anderson plug.

      • howcan on 27/10/2024 - 17:49

        It's not a 2000w UPS.

        • skysurfer on 27/10/2024 - 20:10

          What do you think the main 2000W spec in the title is referring to? And "AC Output: 2× 230V 50Hz 2000W (Pure Sine Wave)". You plug your device(s) into it and the mains into it then when the mains goes out the unit goes into UPS mode and supplies your devices to the tune of 2000W. That's how these things work. Unless VoltX does it differently to everyone else.

            +1

            @skysurfer: What do you think the letters UPS in the acronym UPS stands for? If the max power input rating into the unit is only 500w then it can never be a 2000w "UPS".

          • tanksinatra on 27/10/2024 - 20:30

            @skysurfer: It's not a 2000W UPS. It doesn't have a 2000W AC INput. Only 2000W OUTput.

            Most consumer grade UPS's use some variation of a relay system to pass the mains power to the load. This does not appear to have that capability. It appears to use a 200W AC Adapter to supply the mains input. Hence you can't use loads greater than 200W in UPS mode or the battery will go flat while plugged in to mains.

            • skysurfer on 27/10/2024 - 22:58

              @tanksinatra: The battery supplies the 2000W inverter which supplies the ac outlets which supply your loads. Thats how these things work. Again, thats why its called a 2000W model. I dunno how to make it any clearer so Ill leave it with you to believe whatever you want.
