Seems like a good deal, the rating is comparable to $1000 power stations on amazon. Got the email about BF deals from Mitre10, haven't tried myself. Sign up to mitre10 rewards and get 10% further off on $299

also same price on HomeHardware whatever that is..

    Apologies for being the bearer of bad news, I have had my order cancelled and a refund in process. I called the head office and was told it is now a discontinued item and won't be stocked again. They have since over sold on the black friday deal and will be sending cancellation emails out. You may be lucky and still receive it when the final stores receive stock next week, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Pretty average customer service. Zero correspondence in over a week, order is still processing wtf 🙄. Time for a PayPal dispute I guess

    • geekcohen on 07/12/2024 - 10:01

      Did you do a C&C? It might still be going to the store and waiting to be processed by them. Maybe ring the store and ask as well?

      This might also apply to you

      I was lucky to get a replacement. I'm happy that there are no other reports of them not charging like my initial one, but surprised I was the only one. I was thinking I would get a refund, but glad they gave me a new one, one that works. I'm now on the lookout for a good car fridge and solar panel for my car's roof. 🌞😎

        You got lucky. I had that with an ebay deal Powerbank but just got the refund unfortunately as sold out

        Mitchelton.

    Is it normal the charging brick gets ridiculously hot while charging? The fan on the unit is also going while charging.

      mine get pretty hot but not as hot as VoltX M2000 charging brick which charges almost double (115W v 215W)

      Cygnett GaN charger gets hot charging 100W too

    Charging time on this is ridiculously inaccurate. The last 26mins to 100% on the indicator took an extra 2 hours to reach full.

  • JakDac on 10/12/2024 - 00:16

    Interesting to see if someone out there does a teardown

        • kml22 on 12/12/2024 - 17:02

          Yes, what a shame, if they don't have enough stock to sell, why have it listed for the black Friday sale?

    Mine was sitting at my front door when I arrived home from work. Zero tracking info or email notifications. Possibly delivered by the local store as the invoice was sitting loose on top of the package with no sign of any AusPost or courier labels

    • geekcohen on 11/12/2024 - 11:30

      Probably was cheaper since it contains battery and would require road transport all the way.

    I called yesterday, the store said Head Office said the item is on back order, and they don't know when they will receive more for Click n Collect order.
    I hope they will not cancel my Black Friday order (29th Nov).

    Anyone who has received it and don’t want it, I will take it off you 😀

  • armageddeus on 12/12/2024 - 18:53

    Anyone know if this solar panel would work for maximum charging input or would likely kill the battery ?

    Got an email update from local Mitre10 store, to stay I won't be getting the order until next year, early January due to their shutdown period from December 19th to January 9th

  • mauricem on 13/12/2024 - 21:02

    Does anyone know if I could reuse a decomissioned domestic solar panel to charge this? A friend is getting the old system replaced and I can grab as many of the old panels as I want. Some of them are damaged but I've been told there are a few that are working 100%

    ?? Most house panels are over 30v which is the highest it will take read a post that a guy went over it smelt burning and unit stopped

    Is this hack real? You can charge your power station faster by using 2 inputs. How? This guy on YouTube says the USB-C PD port can be used as a second input. For example, plug your AC charger into the power station to charge, and then use your USB-C AC charger to charge via the power station's PD socket. Has anyone tried this?

    • mrshorty on 16/12/2024 - 00:10

      interesting - the USB C does say output but it is a USB C 100W PD

    • stumo on 16/12/2024 - 09:47

      I just tried it, it doesn't charge via the PD port under any configuration.

      Edit: And that video isn't even the same device lol.

        So why did you try it? Lol

        • stumo on 17/12/2024 - 09:57

          Why did you even think a totally different device would work in the same way? let alone make a post about it working.

            @stumo: I didn't say it was working. I'll ask you the same question, 'Why did you even think a totally different device would work in the same way?'

              +1

              @shoppe: Because you didn't say it was a totally different device? This is a thread about this device. Any sane person would think a post describing how "You can charge your power station faster…" would apply to this power station we are all talking about.

              But no, it turned out to be some random power station that you somehow thought might apply to this one we all have, without even a hint that it is a totally different device in your post.

              I didn't find out about this insane situation until after I tested it - hence the "EDIT:". My device was sitting right there, and I had a USB-C charger sitting right there, so it was quicker to just plug it in and see, rather than sitting through adverts then watching what turned out to be a random youtube video. The video may as well have been a rick-roll lol.

    Bought this to charge the unit - https://www.bcf.com.au/p/xtm-160w-folding-solar-panel-kit/69…

    When I plug it in, the battery charging animation on the unit starts but doesn’t show the watts input nor the time needed to reach 100%.

    Any ideas?

    • ShortyX on 16/12/2024 - 16:50

      EDIT: All sorted. I had to bypass the regulator on the panels. 👍🏻

      • armageddeus on 17/12/2024 - 00:55

        What's your max input watts achieved so far ? Thanks.

        • ShortyX on 18/12/2024 - 08:08

          I have seen 109W but there was a little bit of cloud about. I’ll try again on a full sunny day.

      • geekcohen on 18/12/2024 - 05:47

        I assume you are referring to the MMPT on the panels? That isn't required since the Power Station has one built in.
