One Overload FRIES Your Power Station — The Other Runs Forever

You can hook 200+ amps of battery to a power station rated for 22 amps and it'll run all day without a problem — but feed it the wrong thing and you'll make instant, expensive smoke. The difference comes down to one number almost everyone misunderstands. In this episode I answer your community questions and settle the volts-vs-amps debate: why voltage is the only spec that can actually destroy your charge controller, why current is pulled (not pushed), and how much solar and battery you can really stack onto a portable power station. I also cover expanding a Bluetti Elite 300 with cheap server rack batteries, bypassing the EcoFlow Delta 2 solar limit, LiFePO4 cycle life when DC charging, the best power station for a 30-amp camper, and how to size a whole-home off-grid system for a 200-amp panel. One caveat up front: this assumes you're using the intended charge input, polarity is correct, nothing is bypassed or shorted, and you stay under the voltage rating — exceed that, and all bets are off.
