What can the Allpowers R4000 V2 portable power station run?

Pretty much anything short of a welder. At 4,000W continuous you can run a camping fridge, power tools, TV, and caravan air con at the same time. A 60W camping fridge runs 40+ hours on a full charge. Anything drawing under 4,000W runs without limits - that covers 99% of what most tradies and campers plug in.

How long does the R4000 V2 last as a camping power station?

Depends on the load. A 60W fridge runs 40+ hours. A 500W camping setup (fridge, lights, phone charging) runs around 5 hours. Add solar panels and you extend that indefinitely - 2,000W of solar input means you can match or beat your consumption in decent sun.

Can the R4000 V2 work as a portable solar generator?

Yes - up to 2,000W solar input through the XT60 port, accepting 12-60V panels at 40A MPPT. In good Australian sun, a couple of 400W panels will keep you running indefinitely. Pair it with the Allpowers SP039 600W panel for the quickest recharge times.

How does the R4000 V2 compare to a petrol generator for the job site?

No fuel, no fumes, no noise, no maintenance. The LiFePO4 battery gives you 3,500+ cycles - about 10 years of daily use. A petrol generator costs less upfront but fuel and servicing add up fast. And you can't run a petrol generator inside a caravan, shed, or enclosed space.

Is the Allpowers R4000 V2 power station safe to use inside a caravan or shed?

Completely safe - no engine, no exhaust. Silent mode keeps the fan barely audible overnight, which makes it practical in a caravan or tent annexe. UPS mode cuts over instantly if mains power drops, so nothing plugged in gets interrupted.

What does the Allpowers R4000 V2 weigh, and is it easy to move around?

The R4000 V2 weighs 45kg, so it's not something you'll carry by hand across a paddock - but it has a solid grab handle and rolls fine with a hand truck or trolley. Most blokes set it up in the back of a ute or at a campsite and leave it there. At 45kg you know you're getting a serious battery, not a lightweight compromise.

Does the Allpowers R4000 V2 expansion battery increase the capacity?

Yes. The R4000 V2 supports Allpowers Home Battery expansion packs that take total capacity from 2,880Wh up to 21,600Wh. That's enough to run a household through a blackout overnight. Start with the base unit for camping and worksites, add expansion batteries later if you want home backup capability.

What is the Allpowers R4000 V2 price in Australia?

The R4000 V2 is $3,699 AUD at True Gear, with free delivery Australia-wide. It's also available bundled with the SP037 400W solar panel or the SP039 600W solar panel if you want a complete portable solar generator setup out of the box.
