Goal Zero Extreme 350 Power Pack Review

The 350 batteries are chainable to up to 4 GOAL0 batteries, but don't add the wattage of each battery thinking that you will get that much total output wattage. That's right: there is not enough output wattage to power a sump pump, or a small stove burner, or a small microwave oven when the electricity goes out.

At the time of this review, the maximum output wattage you can receive from the chained 350 wattage is totally dependent on the INVERTER used (the Goal0 33001 Extreme Universal Inverter). This fact is not promoted enough by vendors or the manufacturer Goal0 (Goal Zero).

You can only get UP TO 400 watts output power based on the existing Goal0 Universal Inverter.

After speaking to the manufacturer (Goal0), they said their engineers are working on an inverter that will allow more output wattage on chained batteries. They expect to have it on the market sometime in 2012.

Meanwhile, the Goal0 350 Battery (chained batteries) and Universal Inverter is GREAT for running anything that does not consume over 400 watts of power. By the way, the general rule of thumb for calculating wattage is: Electrical Voltage X Amps = Watts. For example, if your device (or combined devices connected to a power extension cord) runs on a typical American residental electric circuit (115 volts) and the label on the device says 3 amps (or total 3 amps for all devices on the extension cord), then you could use the equation: 115 volts X 3 amps = 345 watts.

Using this product, you can power several things. If the electricity goes out as a result of a storm, it is amazing how this device enables you to utilize the small things in life that will help establish some normalcy in your household during a minor or major critical incident.

For example, as a result of Hurricane Irene, our electicity went out for three days. While I had a gas powered electric generator running our sump pumps, deep freezer, security system and refrigerators, we were watching the news and movies on our backup 12" screen CRT-type monitor hooked up to our dish sattelite receiver. Both were on an extension cord and plugged into ONE GOAL0 Ranger 350 Kit with Ranger Universal Inverter.

(Before running the generator, I plugged our home security system (a professionally installed comprehensive system) into this product. Not only did it power the security system, it also charged the security system backup battery at the same time. This is good to know in case there is a long-term, major outage on the electrical grid and you cannot get more gasoline to power your gasoline generator.)

You can also obtain the alligator clips cable adapter so the GOAL0 battery can trickle charge other batteries, such as battery-operated back-up sump pumps, too.

There are several other peripheral GOAL0 products for the 350 Battery and Universal Inverter. Two critical items are: the Goal0 22003 Escape 30M Solar Panel Briefcase, and the Goal0 4.7mm Input to 8mm Input. The latter item is a cable adapter that will allow you to fit the output plug of the solar panels into the batteries. If you chain the batteries together you will need the GOAL0 chain cable, too.

For your convenience, I reviewed the aforementioned GOAL0 solar panels and adapter cable separately on Amazon.

By many accounts, the year 2012 will be a challenging year. This includes warnings by scientists of major solar flare activity that may produce EMP to damage the electrical grid. Getting prepared NOW is the way to go.
