4 of those batteries would equal 360Wh in a best-case scenario
You would need to check the power rating of the cells used. For constant draw, I would use 1C or 2C, which is 90W to 180W each. The packs can handle higher current for short bursts if a few seconds, but if you plan to run a kettle or induction stove, it will struggle. This is just power output.
For capacity, it is 18x5 per pack, or 90Wh. You will likely only be able to use about 90% of this before the voltage drops too low and the battery protection kicks in.
Thanks for the replies @rad000 and @Sleepycat3
After the latest blackouts i think I'd need a generator for fridge/freezer but a small battery for modem and devices might be good so either this or try to use the batteries I have.
Keep in mind a lot of newer fridges/freezers draw very little amperage.
I've only had power restored earlier this morning after the damage caused by Cyclone Alfred. I was using a 3300W capacity inverter generator during the outage. Generator revs never changed with the fairly new Electrolux fridge I have here after it was plugged in or during its operation. On the other hand, things like the tank water pump or coffee machine would rev up the gennie.
If your requirement is for a Portable Power Station, these are great units and this price is great for the 70P model. In my experience, there is very little real-world difference between the AC70 and AC70P. The AC70 is available through Bunnings Marketplace for $799. If you have a requirement for ongoing power, you really do need to step up to a Generator though. A great use case for this sort of unit is a laptop, Mobile Phone, Starlink and a monitor which you should be able to run for 6-8 hours.
A fossil fuel generator would also be a lot more efficient paired with one of these, it lets you turn it off more often and save gas/noise, especially at night
That’s what’s stopping me - after the recent weather event I figured it would be good to have these but what happens when you run out of power for this power station and the black out is still going? (Some people still out of power nearly 5 days later)
Hope that you can pull enough juice via your solar panels to charge it up again, I guess. But if you're solely relying on the battery then there aren't many solutions that are going to last you five days.
I can't actually see from the specs on their website what the difference is in the P model? A tiny bump in capacity?
That's correct the main difference is a bump up in capacity, as well as the Wireless Charging for your phone/device.
Ah right. I do love me some wireless charging but that problem can be solved for about $30.
Does anyone have experience with Allpowers R1500? That seems to be a better buy (on paper) compared to this. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16330418/redir
Another Bluetti option is the EB70. It is an older model and a step down on everything the AC70P has (ie. solar charging, capacity, etc…), but, for the $/Wh, it is slightly better than the AC70P. From the same seller:

edit: personally speaking, I'd go for the cheaper EB70. I don't think the AC70P is worth the extra $160. I already have a Bluetti EB200P along with a VTOMAN FlashSpeed 1500. VTOMAN, being a no-brand, does the job, but has some quirks that includes solar charging not working from time to time, the AC button not registering (ie. it's on, but it doesn't show it on the screen) and some others. If you have the budget, stick with the bigger brands that we can get here - Bluetti, EcoFlow, Anker.
Do people have any thoughts on those 3rd party inverter converters for Makita batteries or similar?
I've got 4x 18V 5.0amp so they are 900W each? (based on the formula Google gave me) But i don't know how to convert to kWh.
