great product! finally someone is thinking about the user case. Never understood the point of having AC outlet in 300Wh and less power station, MAX output is less then 600W so you can never connect anything powerful to it and 80% time I see people use the AC outlet to charge laptops with AC-DC charger, so it goes from DC-AC-DC and losses 20% from the inverter. Loss the inverter and socket, save 20% the weight and size and still charge the exact same things, phone/drones/laptops/speakers. I will buy one as soon as it comes out.

@@ReeWrayOutdoors I keep thinking that at some point there will be a way to adapt these high watt - 100-140w - ports to a useful 12v. I think the challenge is that these ports do that wattage at higher voltage around 20-28v and lower amps - 5a. The wires I am sure are smaller and supporting that watt elect at 12v would need heavier gauge wires. It’s just kind of crazy to me to have these really nice units with a lot of capacity basically being fancy phone and iPad chargers.

*Solix C300 (with AC ports):* *How fast does the AC outlet charge the SOLIX C300 from 0-100%?* -According to the Anker Reddit, the C300 supports a 360W AC input, enabling a full recharge in 1.2 hours. *What will the price of the SOLIX C300 be?* -Via Anker Reddit, the SOLIX C300 will be priced at $189.99 on release. Standard price $249. *My Thoughts:* There are a few deciding factors between the SOLIX C300 ($189.99 on release) and the AllPowers R600 ($200 with amazon discount) . Both are strong contenders, but the C300 could take the lead among 300Wh power stations due to its extra ports, higher wattage USB-C ports (2 x 140W), and the warm light bar. While the AllPowers R600 offers wireless charging and can recharge from 0-100% in 1 hour, I would trade those features for the warm light bar and dual 140W USB-C ports on the C300. The C300 DC version ($149.99 on release) would have been an option for me if it had at least one AC outlet. I like the pop up lantern design! I understand how the inverter would add more weight, so they cut it from the DC version to conserve weight. Better suited for people with portable electric coolers that rely solely on a DC connection, such as the Litheli Backpack Cooler, or for those who primarily charge devices via USB-C.

I have charged and discharged many batteries . It usually takes a good 4 or so charge discharge cycles from new to reach full capacity . Seems odd at 85% from dc side . In good quality packs that should be the ac side and closer to 90% on the dc side as it’s not going through a powered inverter. To break in brand new batteries i never fast speed the first 4 or so cycles .

Having used the same 2 testers for literally dozens of power stations, this is actually an above average (slightly) capacity number. I also do find it curious that my DC numbers are almost always lower than my AC numbers...but given the consistency I've observed, I'm inclined to believe it's a common BMS configuration that is limiting DC discharge capacity, OR it could be that the style of DC tester I'm using is just providing lower numbers than one might expect. In any case, I'm more interested in the relative capacity performance across multiple power stations as an indicator of how a particular unit compares to the averages.

You're technically correct, obviously. But I used the term 'Lithium-ion' in the way that I did because the marketing practice seems to be use 'lithium-ion' as a synonym for L-NMC...whereas I never see LFP/LiFePO4 chemistry referred to in marketing specs as 'lithium-ion'...they always seem to differentiate LFP by using that specific designation. I liken this to using the term 'solar generator'...yeah...it's technically not a generator...but rather than keep trying to push a stone uphill, I'd rather try to equip people to better understand the marketing they're most likely going to encounter.

well...not with these particular units. But you can charge a Telsa or any other EV for that matter with 120V output, provided it supports at least 1800W...But at that rate (Level 1 charging) you'll only get about 4 miles of charge per hour...and do much more than that, you'd need 240V split-phase output that can do at least 30A (7200W) or more...AND you''d want a TON of capacity (in Watt-hours (Wh)). So for most people, using a power station to charge an EV is definitely an 'edge' use-case with very limited actual usefulness.
