what's going on everybody Eric here from nomadic fanatic coming to you from a chilly Show Low
Arizona uh last night got down to 24 degrees today's high is 43. this is the high right now
although I'm thankful there's some sunshine uh it is cold and windy so I've got my microphone hidden
behind my jacket right here to get some good audio I will be uploading this video with some
Nomad internet link below in the video description today I'm gonna show you this bad boy right here
that's right guys as you know I am working towards being more off grid for 2023 and
I've had several companies uh reach out to me and express their desire to help me and also to
help the community out there uh this this device right here was sent to me by Alcatel uh it is a 2
000 watt solar power station with a couple very very unique things to this that you will not
find in other power stations so they send it to me to take a look at also to be able to keep it
and keep it in the cabin in babe the blue box or I'll take it with me in the RV I haven't decided
yet uh but anyway I wanted to at least show it to you today um I took it out of the box and
instantly thought uh oh there is something missing because outside the box this was all you got and
I thought uh aren't we going to need some charging cables or solar cables or something how am I going
to try charge this thing now I did notice right off the bat that there is no wireless charging
up here I always thought those were really great in some of the power stations however
there is one very cool unique thing about this not only is it stackable you can put other things on
top but the power cords are conveniently hidden in this pouch right here on top how awesome is that
both the AC power brick which is a very common cord also you got your DC charge plug here with
an Anderson connection and also just your standard M4 I believe you call them solar connections there
and everything stores up here very nicely in this little Bay right here again this is a 2 000
watt hour a 2 000 watt inverter inside of it so that'll pretty much power anything inside your RV
or your tiny house except for those big hungry air conditioners I suppose but um let's take a look at
it here on the front here we have got the display so I'll go ahead and hold the power button down
to turn on the color display here it did ship at about 34 battery so I charged it last night and uh
it has a very quick charge rate actually you can see here it has a 1100 watt super charge feature
and no kidding I've never heard of anything like this it will charge from zero to a hundred
percent in less than two hours which is incredible actually let's go over to the other side over here
this is where the AC port is for the supercharge and you can see it's rated for 1100 Watts I saw
more like 900 yesterday and then up to what does it say 500 watts of solar here in the Anderson
connection input as well on the opposite side of the machine over here is where you have your six
AC plugs which are great I just always wish that one of these big units of these 2000 Waters would
be cool if they had a 30 amp RV plug where you just plug right in without adapters then on the
front of the panel we have DC input this is your cigarette lighter adapter input there is another
one here I'm not sure what that one is necessarily for output you've got two more 12 volt sockets
here you got two 5 volt USB ports two quick charge 3.0 USB ports and two 100 watt USBC this
will power my MacBook Pro I can literally take the brick off my MacBook Pro inside and plug the USBC
right in and it will power my MacBook Pro with pure sine wave technology you've also got a light
here on the front okay the full color display will tell you how many watts you're bringing in whether
that's AC or solar panel again last night I think I was bringing in between 800 and maybe a thousand
watts of input directly from my RV it also has pass-through so you can charge it while you are
using it also perhaps the biggest thing about this unit is this is a UPS device which means
uninterrupted power station I may be wrong about that but if you're in an area where you don't
trust the power or if there's going to be a big storm and you may have a power outage you can plug
this guy directly into your wall socket and then plug in everything else in the side Outlets here
and if the power goes out or if there's a surge this will protect anything that's plugged into it
so you basically have uninterrupted power through this station which is a really cool feature of
this it is a little bulky perhaps but bear in mind also this is a 2000 watt power station that I can
simply lift up with two hands and easily move it around although I don't think you're going
to want to do that very often because it is it is still pretty heavy but as far as I can tell I've
looked at quite a few 2000 watt power stations and they are a lot bigger and a lot heavier than
this one from Alcatel so I like this one a lot and I've been in good close contact with the company
they seem to really understand what their target audience could be this one this this is a good one
guys I like this one I'm gonna put some links in the video description if you want to check it out
they've also got some other smaller ones but this is the P 2001 model the 2000 watt portable power
station from Alcatel thank you guys for sending this out to me it's going to go to good use this
winter on the road as well as later on in that blue shed there well yeah and before I go guys uh
just talked to the company again Alcatel they're actually running a special promotion through my
channel in my link so in the video description below you'll find a coupon code for Amazon for a
hundred and fifty dollars off this right now for a limited time so grab this one up guys this is
going to be a good one to take with you nice and portable I think it starts right around fifteen
hundred dollars with 150 off right now they are definitely definitely competing with some of these
other companies and that is a really good deal if you know I'm gonna go ahead and take you guys
inside so you can see how the kitties are doing I have one more surprise in the RV and then we're
going to have another right back to my normal videos tomorrow so come on inside let's see Tehran
hi baby are you mad at dad because it's October and we already have our Christmas tree up hmm I
had to guys just just in the mood for Christmas so I made some changes hey Tara bear hey doing
sweet girl you teaching Opie how to not mess with a tree since this is his first Christmas tree
