CAPACITY HACK For ANY Power Station // PowerUrus 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery

Everyone who's suggesting using 2 batteries in series doesn't understand a few things. First, it's far more expensive to buy 2 batteries instead of one. Second, it is more difficult to transport and still requires you to crimp and solder wires. And lastly and most importantly, it does not give you current-limiting functionality for safety purposes. So please, if you are wondering, I do NOT generally recommend connecting 2 batteries together instead of using a DC boost converter. You can do that if you want but just know that it is not a better solution for the purpose of this video.

Perfect! I literally have been trying to figure this one out and wasn’t sure what to try. Thank you.

Xlnt! Thanks. Bought 2 12v 100amp lifepos (2yrs ago) for a solar project. This is perfect for how to double their use. Great tutorial!

I was about to just connect my LifePO4 battery to the charge port. Glad I saw this. Thanks, man.

This is exactly the video I've been looking for. I couldn't get my batteries that are charged with my solar panels to charge my Bluetti. The current just wouldn't flow. I thought that I was doing something wrong. Thank you thank you!

Very easy to understand. Thanks for your clear explanation , especially the universal examples. I have a Anker Solix F1500 that I wanted to connect my ebike batteries to for extra capacity. I’ll have to determine the voltage DC input on the station and decide from there if I need a step down or step up to satisfy the input range. I think the power station DC input range is 11V-60V. I have lithium ion batteries (that I can make use of) ranging from 36-72V. There are now anti-spark and battery blender devices that can be used with batteries of same voltage, but differing Ah capacities. I’ve used these successfully on my e-bike projects. I’ll have to read more from the comments, but connecting a adjustable low voltage cutoff device from the feeder battery would be good. The BMS isn’t always so great, especially under load.

I enjoyed your video, I am still in the decision making process for my camper build electrical system, always appreciate new ideas, thanks.

Thank you, Sir. Great hack. I think I'll be leaning towards the pre-soldered wires that is being offered. And good tip on the 24v pass-thru. I think my Bluetti has that...hmm. I was going to go with a different battery, 230wh, but I really like this battery and all of its protective safety features. Thank you! Great hack!

Knowledge is power and this is pure gold sir. Great video content. Very needy info. Thank you!

Good video. I use adjustable output boost converter for my Bluetti, and other Solar gen I have, it works great. Here are some of my suggestions to improve safety. 1) Put a fuse on the battery positive terminal so in case the Boost converter shorted out or accidentally short circuit the wiring. 2) Put a Female XT60 on the battery side instead of having exposed male pins as you have right now.

That's a great hack. Thanks. Great to have in a power failure to keep the fridge and freezer running longer.

I'm new to solar and solar powered generators and such, but this is exactly what I had in mind.

Poetable power stations almost aways cost $0.80 to 1.00 per watt hour depending on the features But my lifepo4 on sale was $0.16 per watt hour I have an Anker 521, it takes 11 volts natively, so i just plug the spare battery in and it goes

Thank you such an informative and grounded video. I have been searching for ways to expand the capacity of my Oupes 1200 power station. Todd Parker has a video where he uses the Oupes supplied car charging cable and then attaches a female cigarette adapter to the lithium battery. I tried it just now, as you this may not work with all batteries and power stations. It works fine and I am charging at about 97 watts from my 200 amp hr Ampere Time battery.

You just saved me a lot of money. This concept definitely works for me. Thanks

Amazing video for using my 100Ah lithium battery to charge power stations. Explained many products and charging. A+ video.

Awesome info! I was looking for an economical way to supplement my new EcoFlow Delta.Thanks!

What up Doe!? Very nice Hack!! Can't wait to try on our power station. Great job 👍🏼

I really enjoyed your video and it was very informative so it’s utilizing a boost converter you are getting a stable wattage for them to accept solar connection via XT60 connector.
