The AllPowers R2500 portable power station is tested over a 24-hour discharge and recharge cycle, with Amy and Shane evaluating it as both a home grid-failure backup and a boat power source. The R2500 carries 2,016 watt-hours and a 2,500-watt pure sine wave inverter; a discharge test pulled 1,650 watt-hours out, yielding 82% inverter efficiency.21:07 The unit weighs 64 pounds.21:38 AllPowers also supplied 600-watt foldable solar panels with MC4 connectors; laid flat on the ground, they pushed 338 watts into the station, and angled correctly toward the sun they reached 569–570 watts.6:39 Partial shading of even one panel caused a sharp drop in output.16:41 The solar input ceiling is 1,000 watts, and combined AC-plus-solar fast charging can reach 2,500 watts, theoretically filling the battery in under an hour.13:29 Shane demonstrates charging via a gas generator as well, arguing that solar, generator, and battery storage work best together rather than relying on any single source.18:54 A 600-watt panel array can realistically recharge the R2500 in one day of good sun.17:29 The crew plans to use the 600-watt panels on their boat's bimini.10:40 Partial shading cuts solar output far more than the shaded area alone would suggest, making panel placement critical.12:10
