As mentioned above, consider what devices and appliances you want to use. The starting and running wattage needs of your appliances can help you determine what portable power options are available to you. Weighing 13kg the HPS-1100 mobile power station is lightweight. Featuring 3 IN 1 recharging the HPS-1100 mobile power bank can be recharged via the 13 amp plug at home or the foldable solar panel blanket* when you're off grid. (*sold separately). Wall charging and solar charging are availble at the same time. I also measured the capacity with an AC load running a 2KW heater at half power at around 970W. I used an energy monitoring plug and measured 1904Wh. We should get less capacity under AC due to inverter losses so I imagine the monitoring plug is over estimating usage. I did try with another energy monitoring plug and this time got 1808W but this still seems high. These measurements are useful to compare to other portable power stations I’ve tested, but the electronic load tester provides the most accurate measurement so I’d consider 1544Wh the true capacity of the unit.

The LCD touch screen can show a wealth of information. The home screen shows remaining battery charge in the middle graphically and as a percentage. The top row shows the date and time and below that the left field labelled PV for Photovoltaic / Car displays the input from solar panels or your car’s DC output. And the right field shows input from the mains charger. I did keep increasing the current all the way to just over 28A when the unit shut off with an Over Current fault. But after around 26A the voltage started to drop anyway. 60W USB-C PD output charging laptop

I'm glad with the large capacity and 2000W output. So it can run almost all the essential household appliances, like microwave, electric cooker, kettle, hair dryer, laptop, cellphone and electric tools. And there's no problem when they're all running at the same time. Moving on to the USB ports which are also operated under the DC subsystem, the USB-C 60W port supports USB Power Delivery at up to 20V and 3A and will power even decent sized laptops and lots of other tech. As I mentioned earlier I would have expected 100W like on the EcoFlow for more power hungry devices like the latest MacBook Pros, and I’d have preferred an extra USB-C port even if it sacrificed a couple of the standard USB ports. 60W USB-C PD output charging Allpower 500W power station I tested the 12V DC outputs with an electronic load tester from Kunkin – the KP184. I’ll have a link down below if you want to test your power station. All these ports are regulated so their output won’t decrease as the battery level depletes. Testing 12V 10A ports with Kunkin KP184 load tester On every unit, as the main function of these devices is to be a battery, we test charge and discharge cycles. First and foremost, this is the most important feature of the portable power stations we test. If they cannot meet our standard here or do not come near what the other portable power stations in this guide are capable of, we will most likely not include them.

Safety guaranteed the onboard battery management system (BMS) undertakes voltage control, temperature safety operations ensuring complete protection for you and your devices. A: About 4 hours to get fully charged by AC 220v wall outlet; 6 hours under direct sun light with solar panel (DC5521 or Anderson, 200W max); 24 hours by USB-C in right (PD 60W max).I did try switching again to Car as the input source and connecting one panel via this input since its range appears to cover the output of one solar panel. But although it recognised its input with the voltage displayed, the power stations still didn’t charge. I tried this with the Bluetti SP120 and the Allpowers and Ecoflow panels. Again looking into this with my bench power supply it looks like this input needs 8A of current to charge the unit – so in bright enough conditions with the right single panel you might get this to work. The Delta 2 Max is EcoFlow's top-tier portable power station with phenomenal performance, plenty of ports, expandability, and solar input. This model even has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity which pairs with a companion app, allowing for even more detailed control and metrics.★★★★★ I also tried running a 4 slot toaster which was at the limit of the power station drawing just over 2000W. The AC200P can deliver over 2000W and under 2500W for up to two minutes but will beep continuously to warn you and then does shut off when two minutes is up.
