When it comes to saving money there are a ton of ways to go about it, but cheeping out on electronics hasn't always been the best idea. However, can you get away with only spending $129 on a 299w portable power station? Or should you save up to buy more expensive, name-brand unit? Well.. Today we purchased 5 Portable Power Stations under $250 USD from Amazon and compared these to the Anker 522 to answer that question! If you dare to check any of these out, there are links below!

You also COMPLETELY missed the fact that these units have different battery chemistry. LiFePo4 vs. Li-Ion. 500 charge cycles for Li ion vs 3000+ for LiFePo4

@ib516 2 ай бұрын

For the charge and discharge tests (@12:05 for example), the BMS (which runs the display) in almost all units needs to sync up/learn the battery. A few charge/discharge cycles in these units would make the displays much more accurate - meaning they wouldn't get to 99% and sit there for 30-45 min. 99% would actually mean almost full. Try that next time.

I think the ecoflow river 2 would have probably fit well in this linup

😁😁😁So glad you reviewed our product and it passed the tests!!! We'll take your suggestions to heart and keep improving our product! BTW, our case is made of ABS+PC fire-retardant material and comes with a 5-year warranty, so you can rest assured

I think Pecrons E600 LFP is a great deal for the money. It list on their website for 329. If you sign up for their email it will go down to 312. This thing takes in 400 watts of solar. Has a 1200 watt inverter has 612 wh lifpo4. It has the wireless charger for your phone. I have rum my micro at 1400 watts and yes it will run it. The solar input takes a minute or 2 to recognize but it works really well. If you want something light weight with some juice this is a great choice. On a good solar day my 400 watt q cell has this charged in no time. Solar input is 12v-95v max 400 watts.

Sounds like an awesome unit! We'll have to get our hands on one!

I'm surprised that you did not pick up the Bluetti EB3A at $198. from Amazon.

Can you guys do a review on "aviva portable power station 470 wh"

@PS-jm5ir 4 ай бұрын

Nice! Were these the same battery type? I think charging time is equally important when deciding what station to choose, along with fancy features.

Cheaper ones tend to be normal Li-Ion, like in mobile phones. I bought a couple of 500wh / 500w fake "Jackeries" for work-related reasons. I no longer have those jobs, so have them at home, running their 800 cycle life into the ground,,but I dare not charge them unsupervised! I let solar panels charge up my decent branded stations, then plug the cheap ones into those.

30 seconds in and confident the Anker is going to "win" lol

Well, I was kind of right... For some odd reason, DIY / "Outdoor" shops in Japan have a small-to-no selection of sogens (and even the mighty Yodobashi Camera sells nothing with an MC4 connector on it). A giant branch of Conan near me sells ONLY the "Takki" (which sounds like a British term for "cheap crap"), under a different name and with a 10w glass panel, for some absurd price like ￥40,000, as an "earthquake emergency home backup". Yeah good luck... The other fail one comes in several different form factors, under all sorts of names. I have two that I got on sale for dirt cheap. My ones have a tiny, feeble "lantern" light, as well as the main light (which probably lasts forever on those 110ish wh batteries). Also two USBs that deliver 10w, a "QC3.0 18w" USB port that delivers 10w, and a USB-C port that doesn't work. Great. I also got three (they were really cheap!) of another one with rounded ends, 222wh batteries and a 200w inverter. One quirk of both is that the DC barrel plugs are always on, if you turn "DC", or even the entire unit, off, they're still live! They're also unregulated, so the voltage drops and it took 50mins to boil about 400ml of water in a 12v kettle.

Hi, I own an Anker 535 and have lost the AC charger for it. I just bought a C1000 and want to give the 535 to a buddy, but he wouldn't be able to use it without the charger. Would you guys sell me the Anker charger? (I've emailed Anker several times to buy one and have gotten nowhere) Thanks!
