However, Anker sent me the Anker SOLIX C1000 for free for a previous video. I purchased all other equipment shown in this video with my own money. ~ After filming this video I learned about a feature available for some EcoFlow power stations called TOU (Time-of-Use) Mode. It seems to automatically do the exact thing I'm trying out in this video. (That would've been helpful info to know beforehand lol.) I might just have to buy an EcoFlow power station to try it out. Also! If you have any experience with using a power station in this way, I'd love to hear from you in the comments. ~ Editor: Javan Khabi https://elkhabijavan.wixsite.com/mysite Music: https://uppbeat.io/t/movediz/young-energy - License code: BO63C61KWP4VIPLP https://uppbeat.io/t/fass/the-street - License code: OYR7ONJCVNQXQYKZ https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/halfsleeper - License code: ZXM9X3YOJEODI1WY ~ DISCLAIMERS Some of the links in this video description and in the comments below are affiliate links.
