In this video I take a look at the new ALLPOWERS R1500 solar generator / power station. This device will put out 1800 watts and surge to 3000. It has all the latest and greatest features of a modern solar generator. It has UPS mode, dual charging, dual wireless charging, 100 watt USBC power delivery, 200 watt solar panel, smart phone app, etc, etc. It’s not missing anything. You get all the great features at a more affordable price compares tot he other brand name solar generators. Emergency backup power for power outages, camping, RV’ing, job sites, off grid living, etc, etc… There are MANY uses.
This is a comparison video to show the differences between the OTOFIX D1 Pro, and the D1 Lite diagnostic scan tools. Both of these scanners have full bidirection control and full live data on all modules in most vehicles. The D1 PRO scan tool does have a few more software capabilities than the D1 Lite but most of those are extras are for makes/models that are not sold in the USA, with the exception being Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. However, the D1 PRO has a larger screen, bigger/faster processor, double the RAM, and double the storage, a much larger battery, etc, etc. Overall, the physical hardware of the D1 PRO makes the tool feel much snappier and quicker than the D1 Lite (and the Autel 808 series) and it gives a much better overall user experience. Both of these scan tool are capable both capable of doing the same work 99% of time but the D1 PRO is much faster a nicer to use. The one notable difference that I have personally noticed, and I showed in this videos, is the speed of the full system scan. The D1 Pro scan speed is absolutely incredible. Be sure to watch my demonstration in this video. I’m sure you’ll be surprised, too!
In this video I review the OTOFIX D1 Pro OBDII diagnostic scan tool. This bidirectional scan tool is a step up from the Autel 808 (or OTOFIX D1 Lite) series of scan tools. It has a larger screen, bigger and faster processor, newer Android operating system, faster Wifi, double the RAM and storage, larger battery, and it even has a few more features and functions. This automotive scanner is terrific! It’s an OTOFIX branded tool that is made and sold by Autel, and it runs on Autel software. The OTOFIX line of tools is an excellent and affordable way to get access to Autel software, AND you get those software updates free for TWO years, instead of only one year. If you’re in the market for a new scan tool, the OTOFIX line of scan tools should be near the top of anyone’s consideration list…. especially the D1 Pro as shown in this video. It’s a REALLY good solid scan tool. Be sure to check it out!
In this video I show how-to install a “Flaming River Big Switch” battery disconnect switch WITHOUT any permanent modification to the vehicle, whatsoever. This vehicle now sits for long periods of time without being driven and I am sick of having a dead battery every time I go to use the truck, which is not very often these days. Modern vehicles are constantly consuming small amounts of energy even when they are turned off to keep the vehicle’s computer alive. Those small amount of energy add up over time and can cause a battery to go dead over long periods of sitting. (or, in storage) The installation in this video can be completely undone and the vehicle is able to go completely back to stock form with no traces of the battery disconnect switch ever being installed. I used the Flaming River Big Switch only because that is what I had sitting on the shelf. It is overkill for this application but it’s what I already had so the price was right. This project can be duplicated with a much cheaper disconnect switch. Also, in this particular installation the vehicle uses a side post battery, with side post battery cables. However, if your vehicle uses a top post battery, with top post battery cables, the process will be very similar, but you will use top post cables instead. So now, as long as I remember to turn the switch off, I should always have a battery with a full charge when I go to drive that truck.
The vehicle in this video is a 2006 GMC 2500 SLE 4×4 with 5.3 gas engine.
The OTOFIX BT1 Lite Smart Battery tester is powered by Autel. In fact, the OTOFIX company is owned by Autel and uses all Autel software and firmware. This device is designed to be used along with an OTOFIX OBD2 scan tool, or you can download the Autel battery tester app and use this battery tester along with your smart device. (phone or tablet) The Autel version of this same product is called the Autel BT506. In this video, I give a demonstration of how to use this device. The Autel battery software generates a nice test report that can be saved via PDF format and then it can be shared via email, or with a QR code via cloud service. (no charge) The battery report can also be printed directly from you scan tool or smart phone if you have wireless printing setup on your local network.
(Spoiler alert: The OTOFIX version of this battery tester is MUCH cheaper than the same battery tester in the Autel version…. at least it was at the time this video was uploaded)
