Summary of "Nos cambió la vida viajera esta mejora! 🤯🤩"
Product Reviewed
Power Queen upgrade consisting of a 12V lithium battery rated at 300A (300 amp) plus related charging components—such as a 220V battery charger—used in an RV/campervan electrical system.
The review focuses on replacing an older 12V 100A lithium battery.
Key Features Mentioned
Battery Capacity Upgrade
- Upgrade from 100A lithium to 300A lithium
- Claimed to triple energy capacity
Fit in Existing Space / Installation Constraints
- Claim: the battery is installed in the same general location as the old unit
- Required installation change:
- Old battery installed horizontally
- New battery installed vertically
- Tight dimensions noted:
- Roughly 50 cm of available space (length/space)
- Height described as “just right”
Charging Options / System Integration (Multiple Ways to Recharge)
-
Solar charging
- Via a charge regulator/controller rated up to 400W
- Supports two solar panels totaling 400W (e.g., 200W + 200W)
-
Alternator/engine charging
- Uses a booster/regulator to charge while driving
- Includes cutoff/handling when fully charged
-
220V shore charging
- Using the Power Queen 220V battery charger
What They Use 220V For
- Mainly computers and Starlink
- They aim to minimize 220V usage otherwise and rely on 12V for core loads
Inclusion / Packaging
- Includes installation manuals and recommendations
- Manual languages mentioned: German and English
Pros (As Stated in the Video)
-
Major improvement to travel life / reliability
- After a couple weeks, they say it “changed our trip/life”
- They don’t worry about energy issues anymore
-
Supports remote work and school
- They can work remotely
- Kids’ schooling continues
- Mentions staying connected with Starlink with no issues
-
Handles daily high-consumption 12V loads
- Example: a 93L 12V refrigerator running continuously
-
Works well in wild camping conditions
- They remain energy self-sufficient without relying on constant 220V hookups
-
Enough solar headroom after expanding panels
- Expanded from one 200W panel to two 200W panels (400W total)
- “Barely within capacity” on paper, but “in practice, more than enough energy.”
-
220V charger as practical backup
- Helps during cloudy periods or shaded/wooded areas where solar is reduced
- Useful when stationary for days at campsites or when they can plug in somewhere (e.g., others’ places / gas stations)
Cons / Cautions Mentioned
Installation Is Tight and Physically Challenging
- The space under the seat is very confined
- They had to remove components and install the battery vertically
- They describe the removal/moving of parts (regulator and mounting support) as “complicated”
Installation Safety / Handling Warnings (From the Manual)
- Wear gloves for wiring
- Battery arrives at 30–50% charge; recommend charging fully before installing
- Ensure positive/negative connections are correct
- Avoid using pliers for connections (use proper terminals)
- Do not disassemble the battery
- Do not connect it with another battery
- Don’t flip it upside down; prevent wire rubbing (they mention using electrical tape)
- (They also mention avoiding extreme temperatures)
No major performance downsides were explicitly stated beyond installation complexity and the need for proper system design.
User Experience / Usage Described
Installation Process (High Level)
- Measure space
- Remove old 100A battery
- Reposition/remove parts (including regulator/charging setup components)
- Install large 300A battery
- Reconnect using correct terminals
Operational Experience After Installation
- Lights and 12V power work as expected (“more power” noted)
- After weeks: stable energy for Starlink + internet + work + kids’ schooling + 12V refrigerator
Charging Behavior (Solar / Alternator / Shore Charger)
- Solar regulator shows status lights (e.g., red indicates charging)
- Alternator booster charges while driving and stops/cuts off when full
- 220V charger shows status colors including charging and full charge
- Charger specifications shown during setup: 14.6V / 20A (Power Queen charger)
Comparisons Made
- Direct comparison only between battery sizes:
- Old: 12V 100A lithium
- New: 12V 300A lithium
- Claimed result: tripled energy capacity and improved day-to-day reliability
- No direct comparison to other brands/models of lithium batteries
- They mention there are “tons of alternatives” but do not evaluate them
Unique Points Mentioned (Consolidated)
- Upgraded from 100A to 300A lithium, claiming tripled energy capacity.
- Used the existing battery compartment and wiring layout.
- Battery orientation changed: old horizontal, new vertical.
- Manuals in German/English; advice to read the full manual.
- Manual warnings: gloves, proper terminals, correct polarity, avoid pliers, don’t disassemble, don’t connect to another battery, avoid extreme temperatures, prevent wire rubbing.
- Included a 220V charger and used it initially (recommended full charge).
- Charger handling via status lights; specified 14.6V / 20A with charging/full indicators.
- System design prioritizes 12V loads (example: 93L 12V refrigerator).
- 220V is reserved mainly for computers and Starlink.
- Expanded solar from 200W to 400W (two 200W panels).
- Solar controller rated up to 400W.
- Alternator charging uses a booster/regulator that charges while driving and cuts off when full.
- Emphasis on remote locations and wild camping with self-sufficiency.
- Recommendation based on weeks of stable remote-work and schooling performance.
- Mention of a 5% discount code (channel/family branding referenced).
- 220V inverter/charging setup described as enabling laptops/Starlink (inverter converts 12V to 220V).
Speakers / Viewpoints
-
Familia Rutera (primary reviewers)
- Present all main points: installation steps, system architecture (battery + solar + alternator + 220V charger), and real-world results.
-
Helpers / mentions (Nico, Gabi, Facu, etc.)
- Mostly support during installation and logistics; not separate product evaluations.
Overall Verdict / Recommendation
Recommended.
The video presents the Power Queen 12V 300A lithium battery upgrade—along with its 220V charging solution and integration with solar and alternator charging—as a significant improvement over their prior 12V 100A setup. They report stable energy for remote work, Starlink, and a 12V refrigerator, especially valuable for wild camping and times with limited solar.
The main downside described is installation complexity due to tight space, but they consider it worth it.
