VECTOR VECLIPS6 733 Watt Lithium Portable Power Station Powers 9 Devices At Once Pure Sine Wave Technology AC

I couldn’t be happier with my Vector power station! First off, it was shipped to me in one day when the promised delivery date was for 3 days. It was packed in an actual cardboard box, not just the product packaging which I really appreciated. The setup was straightforward and I love the variety of outlets and USB ports it offers. The built-in light will come in handy during camping trips and unexpected power outages. The wireless charger is extremely handy for juicing up my phone. I’m looking forward to camping next summer and having my Vector power station available for any needs we have in the woods. This device is compact yet robust! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable portable power source. Read more

The VECTOR VECLIPS6 is a really nice unit with some great features. Unfortunately, they ruin the reputation of the power station by using deceptive advertising. The 733 Wattage rating is a mathematically derived figure, if theoretically, every single outlet on the unit is loaded down to maximum rating. In real life such a situation will never happen, and frankly no one cares. What everyone wants to know is what is the maximum output wattage of the two 110vAC receptacles. We all want practical, real life wattage ratings NOT theoretical numbers. It is really a shame that they chose such a sleezy advertising gimmick because that takes away from the really, really good features that this power station offers. For example, the 110vAC output is not the typical cheap square wave, the output is a genuine sinusoidal wave form which means that most computers will be able to tolerate it. It also means that it can be used to power sensitive electronics and even radio receivers without line hum. If your appliance has a computer or microprocessor inside it, you will not have to worry about damaging that by plugging it into this power station. Any consumer product that has a 555 I.C. chip inside it will be driven insane and permanently damaged by plugging it into a cheap square wave inverter. With the VECTOR VECLIPS6 you don't have to worry about that, you only need to worry about overloading the unit because the true wattage rating is grossly embellished. The VECTOR VECLIPS6 has one of the most informative and user friendly readouts of any other power station on the market. The LED display tells you the wattage being consumed and gives you a battery life prediction if the load is continued. When charging the unit with a solar panel the display will tell you how many watts or amps are being input and how many hours it will take to achieve a full charge. It comes with a plug in charger, but you can also charge the unit a little faster by simultaneously inputting voltage at the dual direction USB port which is a very ingenious option to offer the consumer. As I said this power station comes with so many extra features that no one else offers, it is a shame that they had to ruin everything by fudging the wattage rating. 04/05/2024 UPDATE Scheduled power outage by Edison for my entire neighborhood. I used the VECTOR VECLIPS6 to power up two small vibrating aquarium pumps and one small Sears freezer, the load was around 345 Watts. The unit operated fine for about one hour then some type of short occurred in the front section and the unit which then caught on fire. My wife was home alone and had to call the fire department to put out the unit. When these power stations catch on fire it is fierce, like a magnesium engine block. The fire is extremely intense and very hard to put out without special foam. We have no idea why this unit caught on fire, it was not raining that day and the unit was not sitting out in the sun. There is absolutely no reason why it couldn't handle a load of 345 watts. We can't even return the unit under warranty because all we have left is a one-pound ball of melted plastic. By the grace of G-d no personal property was damaged, and no one got hurt. For obvious reasons I do not recommend this product and strongly urge my fellow Amazon shoppers to stick with the name brand power stations for the safety of your family. Read more

I have included a lot of photos with actual test values for those who are interested. For the rest of you, you can ignore the photos. This is a mid-sized power bank, but how large is it? That is confusing as a number of different values are given. For most of us, we want to know how big the battery is as that is the most expensive part of a power bank. A bigger battery means longer running times for devices and additional charges for electronic gadgets. A common convention is to give that number upfront. For instance, a 500-watt unit would often refer to a unit with a 500-watt/hr battery. However, that is not the case here as 500 watts refers to the size of the AC inverter. In addition, the box states that it is a 733-watt unit, but what does that mean? In this case, the manufacturer just added up all of the output ports, which is not terribly useful but it makes the unit sound like it is larger than it is. If you dig around the Amazon copy the correct information is listed by the manufacturer, but I believe that it would not be obvious to someone who isn't very familiar with these types of units. Because of this confusing information, I downrated the unit to 3 stars. So in reality how big is the battery? 500 watts? NO. 733 watts? NO. In reality, it is a 444-watt/hrs unit. Let's look at some features: Build quality: Build quality is good and on par with similar units. The size is a bit bulkier than some. It has a strap-like handle, which I like. I would prefer it if the handle was a bit longer so you could fold it behind the unit. the 12-volt accessory port and the AC ports have nice rubber covers on them. Other ports are exposed. 12-volt output: The output appears to be unregulated, which may be an issue for individuals who use sensitive equipment as the voltage will drop as the battery discharges. However, it should not be an issue for many. I like the fact that it has a barrel 12-volt connector in addition to a cigarette/accessory-type port. USB output: The unit has a normal 5-volt output from the USB A ports (approx). These are standard USB ports and no QC (quick charge) port is provided which would have been nice. There is a PD (power delivery) USB C port that has a rated output of 60 watts which should allow you to charge many smaller laptops and other similar devices. The PD port is bidirectional allowing you to use it as an additional port to charge the unit. You would need to supply your own charger to do this. When I combine charged the unit with both the provided power brick and my own USB C power brick I was able to charge the unit at 145 watts, which is pretty good. AC output: I verified that the unit is pure sine way (best type), 60 Hz, but only 110 volts (not 120). This is typical for these units and this battery bank should be able to power many devices under 500 watts. Charging pad: The unit has an induction-type charging pad which did work with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Light: This unit has a light panel on its back. I prefer this type of light over "flashlights" on some units. The light has 3 modes and is nice and bright when on full power. Display: the display is colorful and includes all the basic information needed. Charging: Via the supplied AC adapter was around 90 watts or about a 5-hour charge time from zero Via USB C and AC adapter was around 150 watts or about a 3-hour charge time from zero Via a 100-200 watt 12-volt solar panel (which actually outputs around 20 volts) is around 90 watts or about 5 hours to charge from zero. Note you can use panels up to 30 volts, which is not typical for these types of units and some may find that useful. However, watts in from solar seem to be capped at around 90 watts. No info was provided on the type of controller used. The battery is a Li-ion battery, not a LiPO4 battery. No information was provided as to the life cycle of the battery. All in all this unit has some nice features, including a charging pad, a slightly faster charge time than some others in its class, and a bi-directional USB C port. Other specifications are OK but similar to many other units. There are many contenders in the 400-600 watt/hr power bank market. You can search on Amazon to compare the value of this unit to other similar ones. Read more
