  • Doesn't say anything about UPS?

    • +3

      Why should it? Its clearly not instant on or passthrough

      • +5

        A lot of Portable Power Stations do mention passthrough or ups support. Wasn't sure if I missed it.

        • +2

          Yeah and the one's I've seen say "50ms". Which is not very UPS like.

      • One of the reviews on the listing say it has UPS mode though

    • +3

      There is only DC and solar inputs. So no UPS mode like other powerstations which have AC input.

      • Hmmm. It shows AC charging (IN) time and an input socket at the front left near the bottom, though?

        • Right, which would just be for charging only, no throughput.

  • Great price

  • That's a great price, thanks

  • 518.4Wh

    Per Wh is cheaper than the Tesla Powerwall 3. Wowsers.

    • On par with their 10kWh LFP pack ~$6000 installed

      • +1

        Model 3 is 57.5kWh and that's ~60k before subsidy… it comes with a FREE car too!

        • Can it V2L?

          • @Naigrabzo: No, Tesla does not support V2L at the moment.

  • +4

    Pretty ok if you missed out on this deal.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/881176?page=2#comment-1602…

    • Yea that was a good deal. Sold out in hours though. I just missed out. I can't justify paying more and for worse specs.

      • The deal came back again days later.
        No idea where it's at now (got a PHEV now, so don't need it - 13kwh battery and backup generator built in).

        • Damn, I wish I got this one!

  • Can you charge EV with it?

    • +6

      Yes*

      *No

    • Of course you can, not very much though

      • +1

        A typical EV now has 50kWh or more battery and this only has 0.5kWh, so yeah not much point trying to charge an EV with this.

    • +1

      It depends on the EVSE you use. Some (most?) will throw an error due to the lack of ground, but some will work. You will also need one that can alter it's output right down to 3-4amps.

      Whether it's actually worthwhile doing it or not is another question…

      • I looked at solar charging.

        The car won't accept less than 6 amps.

        So concluded the best way to go is a US inverter (as 6 x 110v) is achievable with a couple of panels. Bit harder with 230-240v.

        Also correct re earthing. J1772 won't commence without a grounded earth pin.

        .

        • Any idea if the 6amp limit is universal (part of the spec) or vehicle-dependent?

          Edit: My Tesla goes down to 5amp.

  • +9

    eBay plus adds an additional $100 off
    With BFRI30

    • +7

      Yep, $284… Though still hard to justify with only about 60%~ of the capacity of the mitre 10 one a couple of days ago that was $269.

    • I don't have eBay Plus any more so thanks Binchicken22

    • +1

      Only does $50 off for me, so $334.45

      Edit: Never mind, put in the wrong code. Good tip, thanks! Shows as $284.45 for me too

  • +3

    Here is what I think is the manufacturer https://www.tengkongsolar.com/product/portable-power/
    Interestingly they call the battery chemistry Li(NiCoMn)O2, not LiFePO4 and describe the lifetime as 2-3 Years.

    • how'd you find this? it does look to be the same design/factory

      • +3

        Google image search then some trawling - heaps of companies are re-branding these with their own logos.
        That's all VoltX is doing with most if not all of their stuff

        • +1

          the voltage output doesn't match which to me indicates it isn't the exact same - amazed that you found it though.

          • +1

            @chid: They would allow a certain amount of customization if the volume justified it. For example they might do a 230v instead of a 220v inverter on demand, that sort if thing

            • @King Tightarse: Is it likely that they'll change out the whole battery chemistry though?

              I'm genuinely not sure.

    • +3

      It goes by the model name S1000P with other brands. I.e. MARSTEK on Taobao and COOFLY on Amazon US. This manufacturer seems to be offering LiFePO4 while many other rebadges aren't.

      I guess it depends on the factory.

      • +1

        Right although S500S is the 500Wh one on that site and the one I linked called is PS-500. So who it the top level manufacture or do they copy each other's design shamelessly? I don't know I am just Googling around and seeing what i can find lol. I did see a whole heap of rebadge names.

      • +1

        I looked at the user guides for the coofly and it doesn't mention the specific chemistry, and the user guide for amomdmarine looks exactly the same.

  • Waiting for @easternculture to come in and add another to his collection.

  • Can it charge itself while powering an appliance?

    • +2

      Yes. I just received and checked.

      It shows “IN” when it is charged and “OUT” when it is charging something. Both shows as well.

      • Awesome thank you legend

      • can confirm this as I received mine yesterday and gave it a quick test. Seems like a pretty good unit from first impressions.

        A little disappointing the display shows % charge and the IN and OUT indicators, but not how much power is going IN or OUT. I figured as much from the pics but hoped the Tuya app might show it.

        • Tuya does not show that thing.
          I tried a hair dryer and it cut off after 20 secs at high setting and low setting it did not cut.

  • Can this power e.g.kettle during camping? What other things can this be used for and will it last long?

    • Low wattage hair dryer?

      • Low setting no issue
        High setting lasts for 20 secs.

    • +1

      The kettle would need to be under 800w and if that is the case, it would be slow.

  • 27Ah is so little. For any proper outdoor multi day you need 100

    • +1

      This is 27Ah in 19.2V, which is equivalent to 40Ah in 12V.

      • +2

        Which is still pretty low.

        • +1

          Correct, good for a day trip. For multiple days running a number of appliances, you will need minimum 12V-100Ah or 200Ah+ and some way to top up the batteries with either DC-DC charger or solar charging.

          • @edfoo: 40Ah will give a good few days for a sensible size fridge plus modest charging/misc needs. Much longer with solar or car top up.

            For stuff like a huge fridge/freezer. Or appliances like coffee machine, induction hotplate etc then 40Ah is questionable. Also not enough watts for high power things anyway.

            I bought one for camping trips when we can’t take the camper (which has 100Aa Li) and reckon 40Ah is plenty for our needs.

            • +2

              @watts: Very wrong. Most fridges use about 25-40 ah a day depended on size. I have 120ah A and get 2 days on a 45L fridge.

              • @Atomik17: Yeah maybe I was a bit optimistic.

                I borrowed the same Wh power station for 3 nights in the in the high country earlier this year and it was great. But there was a bit of driving time with fridge running off the 4WD, and I wasn’t charging phones etc.

                I didn’t charge the power station once and finished at over 20% SOC on the 4th day.

                • @watts: Like I've said it very much depends on your usage. I use a CPAP machine when out camping, it draws about 25-30% off my 100Ah LiFePO battery, so this VoltX 40Ah power station would be empty the next morning if I use my CPAP overnight.

            • +1

              @watts: Sure, if you only run a very low power small portable fridge and charging a phone and a tablet, it can last over the weekend. Remember you don’t want to drain more than 80% of a lithium battery often, that’s about 30Ah (12V) of useable battery.

      • +4

        God I hate the Ah rating. Such a meaningless figure for comparison. Wh is what we should be using.
