hey my name is David Benjamin today I'm
0:01
going to be reviewing the Lion energy
0:03
battery and solar generator now I
0:05
couldn't quite find the name of this
0:07
model online um and it's I think it's a
0:09
little bit of an older model but a lot
0:11
of their products are very similar and
0:12
the newer models just have different
0:14
features so I'll kind of go over those
0:16
in this video as well but I just want to
0:17
give you kind of the nuts and bolts of
0:20
the battery the specs on it uh what you
0:23
can do with it the inputs and outputs uh
0:25
how you can utilize it and some of the
0:27
cool features that I uh think that are
0:29
just awesome that line energy offers so
0:32
I'm actually going to flip the camera
0:33
around and show you closeup how the
0:34
battery works and how you can utilize it
0:38
life okay so first things first the
0:40
solar panel right here on the back of it
0:43
you actually have these fold out legs
0:45
that just pop out and then uh on the
0:48
back here uh there's the specs there's
0:51
the maximum power the wattage the
0:53
voltage uh Power voltage current all
0:56
that kind of stuff so you can see that
0:57
and just get a snapshot of that and then
1:00
right here uh these two cords are for
1:02
two different things so you basically
1:04
have um this short cord that you can
1:07
connect this directly to the battery
1:09
quite literally right here um so I'll
1:12
flip it around and show you that but
1:14
then you have this long cord right here
1:17
this connects to this right here and
1:19
then back to the battery so I'll show
1:21
you how this works so if you're close up
1:24
you the short cord is already sort of
1:25
built in uh you're just putting that on
1:27
the input side of things so you're quite
1:29
literally just plugging it in there and
1:31
then once you plug that in you can
1:34
already hear it kind of fire up a little
1:35
bit now if I can get some sun on
1:40
um you'll see right here um it's
1:43
actually already full so it says 1
1:44
minute to full so right now it's
1:46
technically charging uh it's basically
1:48
full so um basically how the battery
1:51
works it's very simple uh you have the
1:53
input side of things which you have the
1:55
solar connection here you can use the
1:57
longer cord as well which the longer
1:59
cord plugs into the back right here and
2:02
that's just going to Simply go on the
2:03
input side so I could show you how to do
2:05
that it's very simple um you just plug
2:07
that in over here and uh stick that in
2:13
back um actually I'd have to maybe
2:16
unplug that one just to kind of show you
2:22
basically you throw this in
2:26
here there we go so that goes right in
2:29
there and then the back
2:31
here you just take this out and then
2:38
into the short cord here right here so
2:42
it actually flips right in here and it's
2:44
a little bit hard to do this with the
2:46
camera too so I apologize if it takes a
2:48
little bit longer but um it's very
2:56
second hook that up there we go just
3:00
like that so that plugs right in there
3:01
it actually goes into
3:03
the um the red and red and black and
3:06
black just so you know so um yeah so now
3:09
that's plugged up and uh that's plugged
3:12
into the battery and it's it's powered
3:14
all the way up so it's basically 100
3:16
hours is 99 hours 59 minutes of battery
3:20
life so you got a lot of um battery life
3:22
so that's fully charged up uh and that
3:25
just plugs out and you know obviously
3:26
you don't want to keep this in the sun
3:27
it will overheat it is electrically
3:30
um you know sensitive so just put it out
3:32
in the sun when you're using it when
3:34
you're charging you can also charge this
3:36
bad boy with a regular outlet so you
3:38
just simply plug that in right there and
3:41
uh plug that into a wall outlet and you
3:43
can charge it up so that's another way
3:45
to give it power so regular you know on
3:49
the grid you got solar off grid here and
3:52
then believe it or not they actually
3:53
gave you uh one of these as well and I
3:56
thought this was pretty cool if there's
3:58
no sun if there's no if it's cloudy
4:01
whatever it's quite literally a hand
4:03
crank 15 uh uh 15v is the voltage direct
4:09
current um it's quite literally you just
4:11
you put that on your wrist you can put
4:13
this little strap on your wrist and
4:15
crank away and give it energy so you
4:17
quite literally have three ways to
4:20
generate energy into your your uh
4:23
lithium ion Lion energy battery solar on
4:27
the grid or the hand CR and then you
4:29
have the output so if you turn the
4:32
battery on you can see what's going on
4:35
in terms of you know the numbers uh you
4:38
know how how it's doing so it's got full
4:40
battery basically 100 hours you got four
4:42
USB Outlets you got two regular wall
4:45
outlets and then you have the um
4:48
cigarette lighter outlet and on the
4:50
newer batteries they actually have the U
4:53
30 amp uh so if you have a uh trailer
5:00
um uh RV anything like that these
5:03
batteries are great for that so um what
5:05
I like about this too is some additional
5:07
features so I think the solar is really
5:08
cool I think you know one two three hand
5:12
crank three ways to give it energy is
5:14
cool um you know the shorter cord the
5:16
longer cord so the shorter cord is
5:18
attached so if you just connect it real
5:19
quick cool but if you need to have maybe
5:22
put the battery you know inside uh under
5:25
you know away from the rain or something
5:27
but then you have this cord that let's
5:29
send it out to see how far it is this
5:33
probably oh boy I would say
5:37
15 15 20 ft if I had to guess it's at
5:41
least 10 ft for sure um so maybe I'll
5:44
say 15 so about 15 ft so you can put the
5:47
solar in the sun you know if it's in the
5:48
elements and then put your battery your
5:50
you know keep your lithium ion protected
5:52
inside or under shelter with a 15t cord
5:55
or so so the three inputs for energy is
5:57
cool the solar is cool the longer
6:00
quarter is cool but what is really cool
6:01
that I like about this that I didn't
6:03
even notice until I paid attention and
6:05
looked at the bag and I and I this isn't
6:08
actually uh my unit I'm just using it um
6:12
is that it actually has an
6:15
EMP protection bag around the battery
6:19
now EMP it's a It's Made of it doesn't
6:22
say exactly it says hemp but I would
6:24
imagine this bag has a faraday cage in
6:27
it so if you aren't familiar with a
6:30
I have some clothing called actually
6:32
Lambs which is funny lion and Lambs if
6:35
you know what I mean but uh I have
6:37
clothing called lambs and it's uh to
6:39
protect from electromet magnetic
6:41
radiation and it's a silver lining so
6:43
there's probably silver lining in here
6:44
and when you uh you know close that
6:46
you're you're kind of housing it in that
6:49
and uh that protects the battery from
6:51
any EMP attack so if the grid goes down
6:53
if there's an EMP attack of any kind
6:55
your Lion energy battery is protected
6:58
and you're going to be on the grid you
6:59
can keep your fridge you can keep your
7:01
freezer uh you can have a portable stove
7:04
or portable oven or convection oven so
7:06
you can basically keep your food you
7:08
know you could charge lights cell phones
7:10
you know radios whatever um so as far as
7:13
like a Terra attack you have protection
7:16
with this EMP protection and your Lion
7:18
on energy um bag so they sell the
7:20
batteries on the site but they also if
7:23
you're buying a unit like they have
7:24
three units from I think 1,200 to about
7:26
4200 lower end to higher end if you're
7:28
buying a full unit solar and you know
7:30
solar generator lithium ion battery all
7:32
that in one uh you can get the bag with
7:35
it and then you're going to protect from
7:37
EMP attack so um this unit is awesome
7:40
Line energy is super cool I mean the
7:43
fact that they give you three ways you
7:45
know solar grid hand crank just to get
7:48
your battery up and powered and then the
7:50
USB the uh power outlet and then the
7:53
cigarette lighter and then like I said
7:54
the 30 um 30 amp uh you know for RVs and
7:58
trailers and and uh Vans or you know
8:02
anything else uh you you have so much
8:05
capacity to put Power actually into the
8:08
ion lithium ion battery and then you
8:10
have different ways to draw it out as
8:11
well so I like that they give you more
8:13
functionality and putting energy into
8:16
the battery and more functionality and
8:17
pulling energy out of the battery to me
8:19
that's valuable because you never know
8:21
what you're going to have or not have
8:22
and it's just more redundancy and the
8:24
EMP uh just to give you more protection
8:27
and a guarantee that you're going to
8:28
have energy so I recommend this unit
8:31
it's amazing um I'll put a link below
8:33
they actually have some specials going
8:34
on right now so I'll put that uh that
8:36
discount link right below this video
8:38
highly recommend checking them out like
8:39
I said they have different models low
8:40
medium high oh and some of the newer
8:42
models also have like Bluetooth and
8:44
Wi-Fi connection I don't personally need
8:46
that um not something that I really find
8:49
much value in for you know being further
8:52
on the grid per se for me it's just
8:54
about the raw power the you know the
8:55
wattage like you know I need to pull
8:57
wattage out I need some energy I need
8:58
some wattage that's what line energy
9:00
does for me and then it protects the
9:01
energy with you know the EMP bag as well
9:04
um which is absolutely awesome there's
9:06
not a lot of companies that'll give you
9:08
the versatility of a lot of ways to put
9:10
energy into your lithium ion multiple
9:12
ways to draw that energy out and the
9:14
protection from an EMP attack on the
9:16
grid so that alone you know that's what
9:18
sets Lion energy apart and that's what
9:20
makes them unique and that's what makes
9:21
their product so awesome so once again
9:23
I'll put their discount link below so
9:25
you can check out their discounts and uh
9:27
um check them out and uh yeah make sure
9:29
to uh you know grab the unit that works
9:31
for you and and put it to use and uh
9:34
enjoy it and oh it's pretty quiet too it
9:35
says powered by Hess I don't know what
9:37
that is but when it runs and it's fairly
9:40
quiet like it's it is very quiet I like
9:42
that too so I don't know if you can
9:45
actually he right now but it's just a
9:46
little fan and then you know when you're
9:48
drawing power out or in it's super quiet
9:51
it's a very little fan but right now
9:53
it's you know you can start charging and
9:55
you're good to go so um yeah I mean I
9:58
don't know what Hess is but it keeps it
10:01
uh it keeps it quieter and I really do
10:03
appreciate that too so anyways check out
10:04
Line energy once again I'll put the link
10:06
below to their deals and specials and
10:08
I'll see you in the next review have an
