Our Take

A compact portable power station aimed at campers, van-lifers, and anyone needing a reliable emergency backup. The 288Wh LiFePO4 battery sits in the lower-capacity bracket, making it suited to powering smaller devices and appliances rather than running a household. It doubles as a power bank, bridging the gap between large-capacity stations and traditional battery packs.

Key Features

288Wh LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery chemistry, offering better cycle life and thermal stability than standard lithium-ion

300W AC output, capable of running small appliances such as fans, CPAP machines, or laptops

Functions as a USB power bank for direct device charging without converting to AC

Supports solar input (compatible panels sold separately) for off-grid recharging

Multiple output ports including USB-A, USB-C, and DC barrel outputs alongside the AC socket

Relatively compact and portable form factor for its capacity class

Our Verdict

A sensible choice for campers and travellers who need to keep phones, laptops, and small devices topped up without access to mains power. The LiFePO4 battery is a genuine long-term advantage. Those needing to run larger appliances or power a home during an outage should look at higher-capacity alternatives.

What We Like

  • LiFePO4 chemistry provides significantly longer usable lifespan than standard lithium-ion alternatives at this price point
  • Dual-purpose design as both a power station and power bank adds genuine everyday versatility
  • Solar charging compatibility makes it practical for extended off-grid use

Things to Consider

  • 288Wh capacity will not sustain power-hungry appliances for long periods
  • No wall adapter in the box is a notable omission that adds inconvenience and potential extra cost
  • 300W output rules out most kitchen appliances, hair dryers, or electric heaters
  • Solar panels are an additional purchase, making the true off-grid setup cost considerably higher
