Goal Zero Yeti 400 Portable Power Station 2021 Updated Review

This is a different version of the yeti 400, which uses a Lead acid battery. Lead-acid batteries, like car batteries, last much longer when continually recharged and discharged.

Generac 6866 iQ2000 Gas Inverter Generator – 2021 Review

An iQ2000 will run in parallel with another iQ2000, but it needs the bespoke Generac connector kit to do so. Even without it, it will still produce 13.3 amps at 120 volts, with a peak of 18 amps. Plenty for running a fridge or a small electric cooker in a camper. The unit has a […]
