Got this for our weekend camping trips and it's been really useful. The thing is surprisingly compact and light and fits right in my backpack without adding much weight. I love that digital display showing exactly how much battery is left, makes it easy to plan when I need to charge it up. The charging speed is pretty impressive. Takes about an hour to fully charge which is way faster than my old power bank. I've used it to keep my phone and tablet charged during a 3 day camping trip and still had juice left over. My husband plugged his laptop into it a couple times and it handled that just fine too. The LED light is actually brighter than I expected. We used it around the campsite when setting up our tent after dark and it worked great. Has different modes too including an SOS flash which could be helpful in emergencies. What I really like is all the different ports. You can charge multiple devices at once without needing a bunch of adapters. The AC outlet works well for smaller electronics. We even ran a small fan off it for a while. The carbon fiber looking design looks pretty sleek and feels solid. Doesn't feel cheap at all. Perfect for anyone who spends time outdoors or just wants backup power at home during storms. Read more

I acquired this power station to use for my laptop while I'm out on the back patio with my laptop during the warmer months of the year. When I do, the laptop's battery will sometimes need a backup. Rather than have to run an extension cord, I thought I'd give this product a try. I can say that I was very impressed. I was able to sustain my laptop's power for the extended few hours I spent for a couple of days. I used my laptop both plugging the power supply cord directly into the three prong outlet, but I also found that I could charge the battery while I'm using with the USB-C power cord as well. I liked the fact that the power station comes with a light, which I used when the sun was setting. While I've only used this device on my patio, I can easily see how great this could be for powering other devices when you might want to go camping. I could see how the side light could come in handy if you're in a tent or at a campsite. Add a small solar panel, and you pretty much have an endless supply of power if you're camping and have various electronics to charge. In all, a decent way to charge your laptop's battery and other small electronics if you're on the go. I'm impressed at the capacity and the size of the device. Read more

I'm a part-time van dweller, so I take my power supplies seriously. I have those little battery banks, suitable for a phone recharge or two, and gigantic solar generators powerful enough to run a microwave oven. This unit is somewhere in between. It offers 100 Wh (approx 27,000 mAh) of power, which is significant. However, it is much larger than a typical battery bank. With that said, it is much smaller than a typical solar generator. It has a variety of outlets, including USB A and C, plus a 10-amp 12V outlet (similar in power to a car's accessory port). It also has an AC port for devices up to about 100 watts. Lastly, it has a little flashlight with two brightness levels, as well as the usual (and to me, annoying) flashing modes. Let's look at the various ports. USB. There are two USB-A and two USB-C ports. The USB ports are QC 3 and PD 100W. I did measure the standard voltage from a USB port, and it was around 5 volts (see photo). The PD 100W port lets you charge most laptops that support USB-C charging, which is a great feature. It was able to power up my MacBook Air. 12-volt outlet. This outlet supports 10A or around 120 watts. If you can run a device from your car's accessory port, you can run it off this unit. The 12-volt outlet uses a barrel connector, so you would need to supply your own, as it is not provided. AC outlet. There are some pros and cons here. I measured the output at almost 60 Hz, which is good, but the actual voltage was only a bit over 106 volts, not the 110-120 standard. However, that voltage is not at a "brownout" range. I checked the output on an oscilloscope, and it was a very square wave, not the sine wave you would expect. This is a modified sine wave inverter, which would not be suitable for sensitive electronics, including a medical device like a CPAP machine. However, I was able to run an LED table lamp off the power supply. It would likely be suitable for short-term use for an AC adapter (like those needed to power some laptops). However, in the long run, the slightly lower voltage and the modified sine-wave output would strain many devices, even if they did run. This strain can produce excessive heat in the device. It only puts out 100 watts, so it is suitable for a desk lamp, a simple fan, or a power adapter for charging devices. This power bank is much more versatile than a typical battery bank, and it offers features that may make it useful for many camping applications. Read more
