    Very interested but seemed a fair amount of money for 12 months of warranty.. anyone with more exp on this field can comment if this is worth it ?

    • +2

      The M2000 , 2000w you can buy on Kogan for $849 with free delivery $220 cheaper.

      • Yeah but you don't get the solar panel and accessories right?

    • Store confirmed a 24 month warranty on the Power Station.

  • +1

    Only 12 months warranty :/

    I just bought the 3000w 3024wh voltx model this morning https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/156425081533 for $1699 (20% ebay plus voucher) - not the cheapest it's been - It was at catch / bunnings for less. It's heavy at 34kg but that's expected for the bigger battery - I couldn't find a manual online so I called through to Voltx for advice and they told me it has a UPS mode which is my primary use. From what I read VoltX is well respected for their batteries, and they do have an in home powerwall style system so hoping it's good for longevity however the 2 year warranty does concern me…

    I was considering the Ecoflow devices as the app / ability to limit charge capacity (hence extending battery life), etc. is great but capacity / price this seemed like the best deal..

    • +1

      Ecoflow is definitely a better choice. Far better quality, features, and support.
      Here's a 6% discount code to help with the purchase if you do go that way.

      I've got quiet a few EF products. I'm quite impressed by the brand.

      • Cheers - the VoltX 3000w just arrived - it works fine but it's a lot noisier than expected…similar level to what an outdoor aircon unit might make - quite irritating as it's near the computer I'm using it as a UPS for… Maybe I should have gone for the Ecoflow but it would have been a lot less capacity. Certainly the river 2 units I have are ultra quiet..

    wish they would include anderson sockets on these for 12V camping use

  • It's a shame it doesn't do 2 way USB-C PD. Charging via PD is so useful as I got those plugs/cables everywhere including in the car.

    • +7

      Even at high rates, this would take a bloody long time to charge over USB-C.

      • Fair point. Useful that it has the AC charger built in so just have an IEC C13 handy so its better charging that way indoors.

        • +2

          Still decent rate usb c or 12 V whilst driving is so handy for people mainly travelling off grid doing many

          hours driving. If no usb c charging than there is a hac to speed up the 12 V as you can get a 12 V ro 24 or

          48 V step up converter and easily connect ( + and - input, then + and - output, simple) using the sola

          charge input ( often the same as 12 V, but check voltage range before picking suitable voltage regulator).

          This will increase charging speed by 50% to 200% depending on model and specs.

          • +2

            @ozhunter68: Come again? Assuming your connecting to a cigarette lighter socket, If you're stepping up to 48V from 12V, then your current will reduce to a 1/4, resulting in the same Watt-Hours into the Power Station.

            You can't just invent joules of energy flow by increasing the voltage.

            However, if you have a direct connection to the battery, then you possibly can speed things up with a 12-48V DC DC converter.

            Edit: looks like can be charged at 12V/10Amp - i.e. a standard ciggy output anyway. Would be very slow at 120W.

            • +1

              @Alpine58: Yep, got to put in some work to wire extra high current circuit to get the big benefit of much

              faster free charging whilst you drive. People spend much bigger $$$ installing a dc/dc charger to charge

              dual LiPo4 batterie(s), and you then still also need to wire in a high current/fused 12 V circuit.

              Also keep in mind that some newer cars/suv's have a 15A-20A sig output, and some even in the

              back too. Still good you pointed out for people who may not be aware of limitations of their setup.

              • +1

                @ozhunter68: Technically it isnt free, as you draw more power your car's alternator has higher resistance hence your engine has to provide more torque. So you are using higher fuel when charging. This is why things like AC and seat heating will use more petrol.

                Same thing goes for petrol and diesel generators the higher the power draw the higher rpm the motor runs.

                That being said 100 or even 140w fast charge will still charge the battery in 10 to 15 hours.

                • @azukay: True, but for my trusty old Toyota HiAce Commuter Diesel only pennies as get great milage and caravan parks are at least $50 a night if you can get in. I'm more of an overlander traveller who does not spend too much time idle at camp which is what you need to charge via portable solar panel. Lucky I wired my dual battery system with extra accessible Anderson plug for this purpose coming from my panel on roof haha

  • How does the VoltX 2000 come down to $1079 from $2249

    I'm trying to cancel Bluetti AC180 I ordered last week and go for tis instead.

    • bad luck, already in transit to me. I wonder if return for change of mind will be free shipping

    • ok found that it changes in cart with extra 40off

    • +1

      Probably better off buying the "VoltX M2000 1536Wh" for $854.05 from here if you don't want the solar panel https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/toughland-voltx-2000w-1536wh-po…

      • Interesting discrepancy in weight between the Kogan and ebay specs, Kogan states product weight unpacked of

        22.1 Kg and ebay/outbaxcamping only net weight of 16.5 Kg, so not sure on that one? Also no solar panel

        included with the Kogan listing, although the possible accidental adding up weight for both is for ebay which is

        listed as the lightest, so go figure.

        Edit: Just saw another ebay listing this power station alone for 22.1 KG which sounds more like what it would be

        • Too late to do second edit, but just checked Voltx website specs and they also have it at 16.5 Kg ?

          Edit: …….and when you download their spec sheet directly back to 22.1 Kg, there are other spec variences

          in there too like the 7909 input 200W/500W max, car charging yes/no, and looks like the included 240 V

          power cable and charger (must use external brick) is only 200W and will take 9 hrs (looks like you need

          to buy additional 500W cable and brick to get that time down to 4 hrs.

  • +4

    Big W have got it for $699 if you don't care about or already have solar panels.

    https://www.bigw.com.au/product/voltx-v1200-3x-ac-outlets-po…

    • +2

      Good find! Combine it with ShopBacks 8% (or 9% if ShopBack Plus) + 2% Bank Bonus Cashback for BigW Marketplace purchases for additional $$$ back (Eventually)

  • +5

    $679.20 from the same place if you don't care about the solar panel. (eBay Plus)

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/296779737762

  • Wonder if they have enough juice to power a nespreeso machine for a few coffees a day while camping?

    • +2

      That would depend on model how much watts it draws as well as extra start up watts in many cases.

      As far as capacity goes, you could easily make dozens of coffee's with this, should run most

      smaller machines fine.

      • The above comment I was referring to the 2000W power bank, the 1200W model will mostlty only

        power the smaller and/or lowest power using pod style coffee machines, many unfortunately not.

        Capacity wise will make at least 10 to 20 I'd say.

  • +1

    Just get a BYD shark 6. It will get the job done whilst camping.

  • I got excited when I saw this to use as a replacement for my NBN router/modem UPS. Then realised it's quoting Whrs so by my calcs only about 100Ahrs equivalent.

  • +2

    VoltX M2000 2000W 1536Wh is now $799.20 if you have eBay Plus: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/296711608729. The only question I have is what is the actual UPS transition time, and I cannot find it anywhere.

    • +1

      Yeah, have had that in my cart over 48 hrs and very tempted at that price. I have not seen any youtube reviews

      nor much customer feedback except for two really short positive reviews on outbaxcamping website.

      I am bit puzzled by the low 200W 240 V charging with the included charger/cable, and supposed max 500W charging

      via 240 V but not sure what to purchase to get that (probably bigger brick)? Regardless 200W or 500W charging

      seems really low for a power station of this size these days. Would love some more feedback, there is one older

      post and last comment mentions they are happy, but using 240 V the fan(s) are noisy, which is fairly normal for a

      battery/inverter this size though (I assume as have not heard this model lol).

  • Can I dual use these as a UPS? Or will it break the battery as you don’t get partial discharges

    • +1

      I just got a response from VoltX and they said their power stations do not have UPS functions.

      • Thanks

      • That's odd….

        I just called VoltX a few days ago and was told they do have UPS function (although it doesn't mention it in the manual) - that was the deciding factor in buying the M3000 3000w model which just arrived today.

        I haven't tested directly with my PC yet but I have 4 monitors and a NAS hooked up through it and flicking the input power off everything stays on.

        My only complaint so far is that the fan is quite noisy and as I planned to use this as a UPS for the computer / it sits near the computer while I'm using it, it's quite distracting.

        • I have the same complaint with the "VoltX UPS 1500VA 1500W" I bought from this deal- https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/887183

          The fan has a lot of coil whine and makes twice as much noise as my entire gaming PC. I don't see why the fan has to be on 100% of the time and not just when the battery is charging or in use.

        • +1

          Fan noise is normal for these devices. I have BLUETTI AC300 and AC200PL, both makes noticeable noise when on 1/5 load.

          I am not brave enough to trust VoltX :D

          Their devices must not be designed with UPS in mind, otherwise they would have marketed it heavily. I think it’s probably 25+ ms switch time, but I don’t want to probe the mains voltage with an oscilloscope yet.

          • @xinsnake: I received the 2000w today. Was hoping to run modem, router and poe switch (and AP) in the living room as we often have outages and interruptions.

            Fan noise is unbearable, and its now cut power to the devices 3 times this evening, but not due to outages. It seemed to keep them going ok the few times ive turned the supply gpo off.

            Anyway, bit disappointed.

            • +1

              @MagicMikez32: Moved it to the man cave, now powering a gaming pc and monitor and a few switches and AP's. Seems to work OK as UPS for those.

            • @MagicMikez32: Thanks for letting me know this. Maybe it's good for camping cooking or power tools, not for using as a UPS.

              • +1

                @xinsnake: Yeah I'm happy enough to see how it goes, but I wouldn't recommend it as a UPS at this stage

                • @MagicMikez32: Finally some first-hand info besides YouTube "reviewers". I assume the fan is for the built-in inverter and not 12V outlets? Does the fan kick in as soon as you turn on AC, or only with large wattage appliances? I run most things - TV, computer, modem, lights, speaker, etc - on 12V in my campervan. Maybe I can box it in and vent it to the outside, though these units don't seem to have an app or external switch access.

                  • @sepa: Update, going through the process of sending this back as it is defective, the AC output keeps cutting out for no reason. Supplied videos to seller, now they are trying to make me pay for return shipping.

                    My advice is to avoid.

                    • @MagicMikez32: Update - returned the unit, paid for by outbax. They confirmed unit was faulty, issue was the inverter.

                      Got my money back.

  • do these things have an app to see cell voltages etc? also does it display the solar input wattage?
