EnginStar Portable Power Station 150W 155Wh Solar Generator 110V 42000mAh Portable Power Bank w/AC Outlet, 6 Outputs External Battery Backup LED Light for Outdoor Camping

I am beyond pleased with how well this thing worked and want to offer my particular use case for anyone else in a similar situation.I use a CPAP and had to drive from California to DC. I planned to camp most nights, so having a power pack to run the CPAP (an AirSense something-or-other) was a must. I used a 12V cigarette lighter power adapter for the CPAP rather than the 120V supply, and this machine kept the CPAP, a fan, and my phone charging all night long without any issues. I even forgot to charge it one day and it still had enough juice for a second night.During the day, while driving, I charged the unit via its 12 cigarette lighter charger. But, I was also working remotely while on the road and had my laptop hooked up to the 120VAC outlet.Even with all of this heavy use it performed flawlessly. My fears of not having enough power to last all night were unfounded and if, for some insane reason, I ever need another one I'd get one of these.

I recently purchased this portable power station, and it has quickly become one of my go-to pieces of gear for outdoor activities and emergency power backup. Whether I’m camping, road tripping, or facing a power outage, this device provides reliable and consistent power for all my essentials.Key Features I Loved:Power Capacity: The battery size is more than enough to charge my phone multiple times, keep my laptop running, and even power small appliances like a mini-fridge. It has a solid capacity, and I never worry about running out of juice. Also I used it for my husband's Cpap machine! Lasted for 3 days!Multiple Outputs: It offers a variety of output ports, including USB, AC, and DC options, allowing me to charge multiple devices simultaneously. The addition of a fast-charging port is a great bonus.Compact & Lightweight: Despite its impressive power, the unit is surprisingly compact and lightweight. It’s easy to carry around and fits nicely in my car or backpack without taking up too much space.Durable Build: The design is rugged, and it feels sturdy. I’ve taken it on a few trips now, and it has held up well to the elements, including a bit of rain and rough handling.Solar Charging Compatibility: I love that it’s compatible with solar panels (sold separately). It’s great for long camping trips or emergencies when there’s no access to an outlet.Areas for Improvement:The only minor downside is that it takes a bit of time to recharge fully if you’re using a standard wall outlet, but this is typical for larger capacity units. The solar recharge is a fantastic option but depends on sunlight availability.Overall Verdict:This portable power station is a fantastic investment for anyone who needs reliable power on the go. It’s versatile, well-designed, and offers great peace of mind, whether you’re off the grid or just need a reliable backup power source. Highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. This power station has proven to be a reliable and compact solution for my third world needs. It works seamlessly with an APC 1100 backup battery, maintaining stable operation during power outages. Its compact size makes it easy to store and transport, and it operates quietly, which works great for a cabin. The built-in light was a nice surprise as I didn't bother to check while ordering but it's really bright for it's size. I regularly use it in a vacation home where the electricity supply is inconsistent. It performs well for keeping a few lights and the internet running.In my experience with a power consumption of approximately 120W (modem, router and a DVR with 8 cameras) the power station delivers a runtime of around 2.5 hours. This is sufficient for short-term needs. Sometimes power can be out for over 4 hours in my area so I would definitely consider adding some more stations around the house.So far the unit has been running smoothly for over a month.

This battery has been the perfect addition to my 360 photo business. It’s lightweight it charges quickly and I can plug in a TV and Wi-Fi tower and the battery lasts for over three hours. It’s so good that I purchased another one.

These have become a stand by for me, being homeless. I have put my powerbanks to more unintentional tests than most people would, including water, which they are not rated for, and impressively some have survived, even though at diminished functionality. It stays more humid out here than in your home or car. Also the temperature changes of winter and summer. But they still keep going.... and they reach a full charge in about 6 1/2- 7 hours. This is about the best I can say for this brand item. No 5 stars because the brand name is unproven, not to mention a little unusual.

Works as advertised so far. I tested it running my tankless water heater where it draws slightly over 50w while running the hot shower; interestingly uses more wattage when shower off.Seems like it will be good for powering and recharging things with low power requirements. It does have pass-through capability for using output while charging the station also, though I did see somewhere that that wasn't recommended for AC outlet.No telling how many years this will last but seems like it will be worth the money.I did like that it is smaller and not as heavy as I thought it would be. Most photos make it seem largerIt charges more slowly the closer it gets to full. Probably to protect the battery lifespan. I like that it tells you how many watts are going into it.
