You need to turn off your CONVERTER when using a solar generator. It's charging your batteries which is counterintuitive

2611Whr seems like a lot-but it's only 217Ahr, at 12V. Two 6V Trojan golf cart batteries do the same job (225Ahr @ 12V) on our boat. The Yoshino weighs less (the Trojans are 28Kg each), and is definitely portable, which the Trojans are not. And the Yoshino can be discharged to 10%, I am guessing, whereas we never discharge the Trojans below 50% (and usually not below 70%).Exciting new tech, and an excellent review, Scott. Thanks.

Another great review. Looks and sounds like a great product.

Informative. Did I miss capacity test results ?

Great review, Scott! Your product tests are always thorough and comprehensive. Thanks for all the hard work.

Thank you for your kind words! I completely agree with your assessment of Scott's review. He always provides thorough and comprehensive product tests. Speaking of power stations, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse with a massive capacity of up to 5kWh, perfect for outdoor adventures and backup power needs. The Cube Series also offers fast recharging, multiple output ports, and comprehensive protections. It's definitely worth considering for anyone in need of reliable power on the go. Happy camping!

Love all of your thorough reviews. Just came across Optivolt solar panels that supposedly charge even if they are in the shade. Would love to see if and how good they work if you happen to get any. 🤞 -western NY Troy & Aimee

Thanks. This was a little rushed due to other projects on my plate, but it just keeps pumping out the power. 4kw is a lot!

Well done! Can't wait to see how the B4000 performs with one of the expansion modules attached...rumor has it...the B4000 will accept 1000W of solar, when an expansion battery is added. Also, does anyone know if the B4000 features auto-start charging a/k/a will the unit begin charging soon as Sun hits the panels, or does charging require manual input?

I'm curious too, Yoshino said it might be out in the first part of 2024...

Maybe I missed it but you spoke in the beginning about adding extension batteries, but didn't follow up on that. I can't get the company to speak to that so I've been in the hesitation box as a result.

Last I heard, the expansion battery is still in the works. I’ll see if I can dig up some additional details.

Update? ​@@Stonyboot

Impresionante tu revisión, excusame que escriba en español, pero ahora mismo no tengo tiempo para traducir. Esa estación de poder, alimentó tu AA, Espectacular!!! Es una bestia ese Yoshino 4000. Tengo una pregunta para ti: ¿Cuantos años de vida útil tendrían estas baterías de estado sólido? Mil gracias!!!

@Stonyboot

The translation was by google translate: They are rated for 2500 cycles to 80%. so if you were to cycle the battery every single day, it would give you almost 7 years of life span but that just means down to 80% so you would still have 80% of the original capacity. Most of these units that I’ve seen from other manufactures generally rate electronics for about 10 years so I would say you have a good ten-year lifespan on a product like this. Están clasificados para 2500 ciclos al 80%. Entonces, si hiciera un ciclo de la batería todos los días, le daría casi 7 años de vida útil, pero eso solo significa reducirla al 80%, por lo que aún tendría el 80% de la capacidad original. La mayoría de estas unidades que he visto de otros fabricantes generalmente tienen una vida útil de aproximadamente 10 años, por lo que diría que un producto como este tiene una buena vida útil de 10 años.

Reply: "I recently watched a video titled 'Energy' and it got me thinking about the importance of power backup solutions. If you're an outdoor enthusiast or an RV lover like me, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's packed with impressive features like massive capacity, fast recharging, and comprehensive protections. Plus, its waterproof technology makes it perfect for any adventure, rain or shine.

Excellent review. Kind of expensive. I can buy 4 Battle Born 100 AH for the same price.

@lawrence, Good grief, the BattleBorn MSRP of us$999 is more than five times their Real-World value. Shopping around, you can easily acquire the equivalent for about a hundred fedbux.

So which do you recommend, the Anker 767 powerhouse or the Yoshino B2000SST? And why?

@Stonyboot

9 ай бұрын

Depends on your usage. If you need high power output (over 2000 watts) then the Yoshino is the clear way to go. If you want more portability and don’t need more than 2000 watts of output, then the Anker is excellent. The big advantage to the Yoshino is the energy density, weight and power output. because of the solid state battery technology. The Anker is more portable, even through its larger and heavier, because of the wheels and handle. It also has Bluetooth management through and app. Although, the Yoshino will be getting that soon. So it’s really about your use case.

The B2000SST is more like the 767 Workhorse specs. The B2000SST has 1326 Wh capacity and 2000 W total AC output. The rest of the specs are similar except for size and weight is significantly less on the Yoshino B2000. The 767 can handle 1000 W solar input while the B2000 is capped at 600 W.

Amazing. I’m looking forward to more solid state battery products.

Me too. Hoping to see some solid state batteries for RVs. More power in a smaller space :)

haha i got a 20L canister with about 58,1kWh (166kWh*0,35efficiency) of stored capacity for my generator which is even smaller than the yoshino 4000 top that energy density battery bois

Excellent report Scott. I might be a customer.

The size and weight of the Yoshino is pretty remarkable. The output power is amazing. Just like we saw a move from Lithium Ion over to Lithium Iron Phosphate, I think the next big move will be solid state lithium. I’ve been trying to source some solid state cells from China for a year now with no luck. It looks like Japan is the place to look. It’s a good unit, I’ll be using it a lot!

@tg9388 I agree. I they pick up quickly and then I got to have a normal conversation. I ended up calling about 3-4 times over a week or so to ask questions and understand some detailes for the video. I was pleasantly surprised. The name Yoshino kind of gives you the feeling that it’s an overseas company. But it’s based in California and the cells come from Japan. I’ll be replacing one of my Anker batteries in my tool trailer with the Yoshino. The power output is crazy. I still like the wheels on the Anker though.

So I really like the specs on Yoshino: 53lbs. at 2611Wh at 4000W Output Fast Charging Capability- 80% in only 70 minutes (AC). I think both offer 5yr warranty but this Yoshino is great product

@tg9388 I think the dimensions are quite different too.

Is this true? $1.07/Wh? 2611W/h x .85 (efficiency) =2219W/h. If there is 4000W being used then it will supply power for 33 minutes.

This kind of stuffs are going to be deappreiated very fast , new game changer will keep coming out to replace it！😂

Powering an A/C for one hour isn't going to help you a lot.

Understood, but the unit is infinitely expandable with additional modules which would increase run time. The main point is that I needed something to draw power so I could get close to the 4k watts mark. That was about testing continuous power output, not trying to stay cool.
