Single AC Socket/Modified Sine Wave/LP Generator.
6 of 6 found this helpful I used the BAJA at high elevation 5,500+Ft.
I plugged into a power strip. Added 1 AC To DC
Converter plug which allowed a DC Multi-Port:
1 Single DC Quick Charger for 2 droid micro’s,
& 1 IOS Lightning Port.
*After an hour, I removed the IOS To A
Native Charge Adapted & 3’Ft. Cable
And the IOS Charged much faster,
As did the other 2 Devices.
On AC to DC Plug:
Device 1—Micro port plug/Rechargeable
Led bulb lamp
Device 2—Micro port plug/Rechargeable
Desk Lamp Fan
Device 3—IOS Port/Charging Plug,
iOS Phone
**It Took 3hrs To Charge All 3 Devices
From 100% Drained.
The BAJA Was Difficult To Start At High Altitude
for the first try. NOTE: I Bought A 5’ft
1lb lpg braided hose to 20lb. Tank End.
I wished I had about 8’ft instead of 5’ft.,
But made due. Also, what other reviewers
Say about the 1lb inlet threads is True.
—This is the WEAK SPOT with this unit.—
Also, if you don’t thread the 1Lp side just right
And straight, It Won’t Start.
Take your time, thread the 1 LB. Hose End
Through the 1Lb canister cradle bracket wickets.
Carefully! And Do Not Detach It. Only Detach
It At the 20lb tank end. Spare yourself the hassle
Of ruining the BAJA’s 1Lb inlet point.
I ran it for 3hrs from a 20Lb tank.
And as I stated, it did it’s job.
However, for sensitive electronics,
Next time, I’ll be adding a small our sine wave
AC inverter, so I can protect my IOS Devices
From the modified waves from the BAJA’s
Own MODIFIED Inverter.
—I will not charge my iOS again using only
A modified sine wave. I saw weird things as
my phone was charging. Less, when I moved
It to the native IOS Charge plug, plugged into
The power strip I was using. It also increased
The speed of the IOS Device charge time.
I’d Like To Have Had A Quick Connector
For The 20Lb. End, or Better, A 10Lb Tank.
It Would Have Been Enough For 2 Weeks
Of Camping/Charges For My Mini Devices.
Is It A Good Buy?
Yes.
Know that a 20Lb Tank Will Run $35/New
Plus $14+/- To Put 4.7 Gallons Of Lp in it.
And, get yourself a 1Lb to 20Lb 8’ft braided
Convention hose. (Chipmunks chew rubber)
Or Better, a 10Lb Tank w/braided hose
And go have fun.
Ps:
The spark plugs are very hard to find.
So buy a few of them now, IF you can
find them. I went to 2 ATV Shops, 3 hardware
Stores, and 2 Auto stores before I could
Find the spark plugs. O’Reily’s Auto Parts
Was where I finally bought their last 2 units.
And, I bought Quality 4-Stroke 10w/30 oil
But kept the original oil container that comes with the BAJA for a Perfectly measured oil replacement while Out on the road or trail.
I also bought bulk filter material so I can just
Cut to size a replacement for the onboard
filter once it’s dirty. ATV Stores are the place
To buy the bulk filter material.
—The BAJA Has A Built-In Regulator,
So don’t let some dude try to sell you
another external regulator. That happen
To me at the big orange logo hardware store.
Ironic, because they sell these BAJA’s
Through their online/pickup service,
Ship to store.
Anyways, versus carrying a 500watt/1000watt
Jackery or Yeti, For The Price, The BAJA got
My Business. ($250 average sales price)
And another $20 for a braided converter hose,
$35 for a new 20Lb Lp Cylinder & $14+/- to
Fill it. Then $2 per spark plug, $7 4-Stroke
10w/30 Oil, and $10 for bulk filter material,
I spent about $340 for a good set-up.
**It’s Not Very Loud Either.
And you can mitigate the noise by pointing
The exhaust end away from ears.
**I’ve Said Enough**
My Picture Is Of The BAJA in A Changing Tent,
Propped Up in the back, So the exhaust didn’t
Melt it. There Was A Threat For Rain, But I Had
To Charge My Devices Up, So I Used The Tent.
Anyways,,
It’s A Safe, Cheaper Way To Make Power,
But With Only 1x 700watt /120Volt AC Socket.
DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK,
and make your decision.
I’m no expert, so don’t rely on my review.
But I like this little BAJA Unit. 👍🏼
