  Has anyone seem a shootout or comparison between the various different brands of power stations?
  Looking for the safest one, given the potential dangers with these

  What are the risks of fire with these no name batteries ?

  • 

    King Tightarse on 15/12/2023 - 13:46

    Depends on the battery chemistry and construction quality, but given the amount of energy contained and given that they may be in hot car in the Aussie sun -
    pretty high I would think

    The spec says LiFePO4 cells, so relatively safe. They still contain a lot of energy, but LiFePO4 doesn't really have problems with thermal runaway, and catching fire, if there is a problem, or damage.

    Something else in the unit could catch fire, but again, it's not super likely.

      LiFePO4 cells are better thats true, but still plenty of opportunity for fire with the amount of energy contained. Dodgy wiring, cheap components failing, lack of fall-back design is all it takes.
      The ALLPOWERS one that was half price has quite a few reported failures and gave Stumo little shocks https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14703187/redir
      This is something that you would want the safest, triple fall back version of unless you use it with all of the above in mind.

        Yup, which is why I said "They still contain a lot of energy" and "Something else in the unit could catch fire".

          @Prong: Yes, we agree.
          Having pulled a few alarming Chinese no-name 240v products to pieces, it is truly case by case. I have seen some that must be the result of out-sourced piece work. Ridiculous through hole soldering. Blobs everywhere like a kid had done it etc. Others are professionally executed and appear great quality.
          It's case by case.

    One reveal suggested this is the same company that produces OZB favourite GOOLOO car jump starter. Could be wrong but worth checking - they also has the same socket.
