Litheli Eclair 1000 Power Station - A Beast With Great Features

Hi there, welcome back. In this video I'm going to show you something, namely this thing, which you've probably never heard of, but you really should check out. Now this is the Lytheli, as I pronounce it, or Lytheli, which some other people pronounce it. Litheli Eclair 1000 battery pack, and as you can see, it's pretty big, but it has a hell of a lot of features, and this has been designed with numerous things in mind. This is a fast charge, high capacity, packed with features sort of unit, and it's reassuringly heavy. Now, I don't just accept anything to review. I like things that are... In my view, genuinely useful. And this, when it arrived, it came with no instructions, nothing. I just kind of had to work out everything myself. And as I was working it out, I was thinking, that's useful, that's good, that's good. My God, this thing charges fast. These are really useful, and I shall explain that now. These two things here, which pop out doing this blind, are battery packs. And these are going to be used in the next generation of Lytheli's garden implements which include a hedge cutter, a strimmer and also a lawn mower. Now I've looked up the little strimmer that they do and it looks really really good but presently it's only available in the US on pre-order just as this thing is. This thing is currently on Indiegogo and there might only be a couple of days left on it to get a really really good deal on it when you're watching this video. If you can get an early bird deal on Indiegogo that makes it exceptional value. Now these things will go into the strimmers. into the hedge cutters and also into the lawn mowers that Lytheli are going to produce and as soon as the strimmer becomes available on Amazon or anywhere in the UK or even from China I will be ordering one because I need a little strimmer just to go around the detailed edges of my lawn. I've got a big double-handed strimmer which takes a blade. My little strimmer is knackered so I do need a battery strimmer. These will go into the battery strimmer and allow me to do all the little detailing work so I'm looking forward to that becoming available. And to recharge these batteries all we do is just slot them in here. One. Two, and they charge up. They're fully charged at the minute. In fact, this whole unit is fully charged because as soon as I got it, I plugged this in and I charged it. And it was on 62% power when we first got it. And I think it, God, it must have only taken 20, 25 minutes to get up to 100%. It takes less than an hour to fully charge this whole unit from zero to 100%. but the input is 1300 watts so that's like a massive kick to this it charges ridiculously fast unfortunately at present this is only available in the US sort of outlets and plugs sockets and all that sort of thing but i do have numerous converters step up step down transformers all that sort of thing so i can use this oh and using this fella Which I'll put the link to in the video description, as I shall with this. And using that in a standard UK socket, plugged into here to the US socket, I was able to charge this fella up very, very quickly. So it stepped it down from 240 to 110. It fed into here at 1300 watts. And it charged this up so damn quick. You'd be shocked at how quickly it charges. So I better tell you what inputs and outputs it's got now as far as the inputs go it's got one here which is currently connected to my step down transformer to allow me to charge it at fast charge just take that out it comes with a connector which will allow you to plug this into the tab lighter or cigarette lighter of your car and plug it in from there that goes In there, unfortunately, that input isn't a standard Anderson input from a solar panel. So, as far as I can gather, you're kind of limited to charging it from the mains or charging it from a car or camper van or something like that. I mean, because it's a fast charge, high capacity unit, that's kind of understandable. But basically, what you've got is a reset switch here for if it ever gets overloaded. You've got your mains input here, which is like 30. 100 watts which is absolutely crazy this thing charges lightning speed and then you've got the attachment there which will go to your car. I would have loved to have seen a standard Anderson socket there but I'm sure you could get some sort of converter that would allow it to fit into either of these. I haven't looked on this end you've got four outlets for your standard US plugs a converter like a travel plug for US sockets so if I plug that into there Take a UK plug into here, run it through my converter. I can boost the voltage up from 110 to 240 so I can use this thing in the UK. Obviously when it becomes available there will be UK versions of it. I'll just say that these vents here have a fan on the other side of there and that's replicated on the other side and when the fan's running It's ridiculously quiet. Some of these battery packs that I have, you can barely hear yourself think when the fan comes on, but this is really, really quiet. Huge bonus. I would imagine if you were in a tent or a camper van or something and you had a fan going all the time when you were feeding power out of it, you would want it as quiet as possible. This one is literally whisper quiet. I don't know how many decibels it is. There's no sort of rating on it online. I have looked, but it's barely noticeable. Really, really nice side of it. We have numerous outlets. We've got Type-C outlets here, standard USBs, two DC outlets and your cigarette lighter, tab lighter sort of thing. Your two removable batteries, each of which is approximately 74 watt hours or 2,000, no, sorry, 20,000 milliamps. So that is a reasonable capacity, again it's reassuringly heavy and it has a USB outlet and a Type-C outlet, so basically if you're in a grid down situation, you have this to power your TV or fridge or whatever it is you want to power and you can give these to the kids and say, look, charge your phone up with that, use your Nintendo Switch, power your laptop, whatever you want to do, there you go, take it away to your bedroom. Or, if you're in a non-grid-down situation, you can take these out and power your garden tools with them, which will be coming, and as I say, I will be definitely buying the Strimmer, because that will be useful to me. At the top here, we've got a fast-charge wireless pad, and that's rated up to 80 watts, so if you have a laptop, or a tablet, or indeed a phone, which is capable of fast-charging... Put it on here, and it will charge wirelessly. Unfortunately, my phone is so old and so backward, my phone won't charge on here. But when my son was recently visiting from university, I said, look, your phone is a little bit less old than mine. Why don't you put your phone on here, see if it charges, put it on. Boop, started charging straight away. It wasn't a problem. I've tried to enable fast charging on my phone. Unfortunately, it's too old. It's not capable of fast charging wirelessly. So modern phones, modern tablets, I would imagine some sort of laptops as well, possibly, may fast charge on the top of there. That's a nice feature, because often that space is just wasted. To the facts and figures on this thing. It's called Litheli Powerhub Eclair 1000. It doesn't actually retain 1,000 watt hours of power. I think it's approximately 921, but you've got 74 and 74. So in reality, it is over 1,000. Inlets and outlets go. You've got two USB-Cs rated for 20 watts between 5 and 9 volts. You have two USB-C outlets rated at 100 watts. Between 5 and 20 volts, you have two standard USB outlets, actually USB-A outlets, rated at 18 watts. You have two 12-volt DC connectors, and they are DC5521. That means nothing. That doesn't mean much to me. In fact, most of these figures don't mean much to me. But anybody who's really interested in buying one of these things probably wants to know exactly what you're going to get, you know. On the top, I have to confess, I have never heard of a Pogo charger. That's just like a wireless charger. You have one 80-watt charger. Put one there. You have one 12-volt car outlet, which is like a standard cig lighter sort of thing. The battery in here is lithium ion phosphate and it's good for 3000 plus charge cycles, so that is going to last you a hell of a long time. And this, after it's gone through the launch on Indiegogo and it becomes available for retail sale like all over the world, is only $900 which for a 1000 watt hour unit Even without all these features is pretty good. Normally you'd pay roughly one pound, one English pound or one US dollar per watt. So if you had a thousand watt unit, you'd be looking to pay roughly a thousand pounds or a thousand dollars for something that was quality. Early bird deals, if you watch this video early enough, if you haven't watched this video early enough, there still might be deals available as it progresses and hopefully as it becomes available on Amazon, I will put necessary links in the video description if I see it available. Two removable batteries here are rated at 74 watt hours and 45 watts output maximum each. For most of the garden implements that Litheli are producing or will soon produce they require two of those batteries and that's probably why you've got two charging sockets here. An example if somebody wants that in milliamp hours which would tend to relate to like little phone chargers and you know battery backups that you would have and like heated vests and all that If you used one of these batteries... With a 5 volt output. It would be equivalent to 14,800 milliamp hours. If you used it at 20 volts, which is the maximum, or near the maximum output, it would be rated for 3,700 milliamp hours. Again, these figures don't mean much to me, but they might mean something to you guys. Now, the charging input, it will take up to 1,300 watts to charge it, which is absolutely beastly. I mean, that's just like... It's like forcing £10 of crap into a £5 bag. It's just blasting it in there, you know. And it will fully charge this from 0% to 100% in less than an hour. In a situation where the electric's going on and off and on and off in your house, you know, you've reached some sort of like pre-apocalyptic sort of scenario. As soon as the electric comes on, just charge this bugger up, get it fully charged, and it will last you for ages, you know. It will charge really quick. And as far as the output goes, even if you have everything connected and, you know, loads of things drawn from this, it will support 1800 watts AC maximum output, which is, quite frankly, huge. We are... Yeah, so there you go. Really, I have kind of rushed this video out. I've only had this a few days, but I wanted to show you guys because the Indiegogo campaign does close in a few days. If you're interested in this, I wanted you to get a good deal on it. I will bash this video out quite quickly considering this only arrived a few days ago. Ideally I don't like to do that, but if anybody is interested in this, check out the Indiegogo link in the video description. Hopefully it will still be available on early bird deals. Early bird deals, even if it isn't, if this was full retail at $900, that would be a hell of a price, especially if you had some garden implements that you could use with these batteries, it's a really good unit, that's what I think so far, I will do update videos or an update video in a week or two, just to let you know how I've got on with it, because I will be testing it. The power company has told me that there is going to be a grid down situation in three, four days time. The electric is going to be off all day. I will be testing all my battery packs during that time. Thanks for watching. See you later. Check out the links in the video description.
