Here is the calculated capacity data for the tested units. One note for these numbers -- the Oupes data might be slightly off. The unit turned off the lights at 9%. It would allow me to start the lights again, but would turn them off again after some time. I repeated this process at least 20 times before the unit wouldn't power the lights for more than a couple of seconds at a time. Bluetti AC180 (1152Wh): This unit tested well enough, scoring 88% usable capacity and charging via AC outlet at 13.88 watt hours per minute, but one thing to clarify, unlike many of the other Bluetti units that use the same physical format, this unit does not support capacity expansion via external batteries. The DELTA 2 remains a highly portable option, weighing only 27 pounds (12 kg), so you can easily take it with you on a road trip to meet your energy needs off-grid. The above mounting system is based on a pantile roof. An alternative mounting system may be required for slate or flat roofs
To get a better understanding of appliances that you can use with our powerstations, consider using our appliance wattage calculator (Excel speadsheet) for the larger kits: The display is bright and actually shows useful information including time left till discharge – very useful – we even confirmed the accuracy in our full review (see video below). The DELTA Pro charges completely in as little as 1.8 hours using an AC wall outlet or between 2.8 and 5.6 hours (depending on environmental factors) using 4 x 400W solar panels (1600W). The Issomi Portable Power Station is portable and powerful, an ideal combo. Plus, it’s water-resistant, which adds to its overall versatility and suitability for camping. That last factor is the most important because very few portable power stations offer this protection, and you’re likely to run into rain sooner or later if you spend enough time outdoors. Along with water resistance, this power station also has an IP63 rating, which means it’s completely sealed against dust and can withstand spraying water.
The touch screen shows a wealth of technical information but it’s not particularly user friendly and there’s some basic information missing like an estimate of remaining usage time based on current output. There’s also no accompanying app which would have been particularly useful considering how difficult it is to read the screen outdoors.
Yes, Only one ACC car charging cable (Anderson connector) is needed. Please note that the car charging cable is capable of carrying a current greater than 10A. However, aside from connections there are other extra features to look for. For example, some portable power stations take their outdoorsy nature to heart and provide campers with a built-in LED light. Others have moulded-in carry handles so you can go easily from car boot to camp. Some can be charged-up with solar panels of varying sizes. Most now have LED screens that tell you exactly how much charge is left and what the current status is. You often now get an app, too. BioLite BaseCharge 1500 (1,521Wh): Having tested both the 600 and 1500 models of the BioLite BaseCharge, I can tell you that this company is fairly consistent when it comes to their product manufacturing. The BaseCharge is about 2.5 times the capacity of the 600. And that 2.5 modifier carries across the board fairly accurately from price to capacity, charge times, everything. So, if you like the 600 but you wish you had two and a half of them, save yourself the effort and just buy the 1500. Enernova ETA Pro (1050Wh): Moving up a notch, 83% usable capacity and charges 1kW in about an hour and a half. A better showing and about 10 cents cheaper per watt-hour than its smaller sibling. The best portable power station for you depends on your use case and electricity consumption needs.The frequency you can expect to replace a portable power station depends on how much you use it. “Portable power stations typically need to be replaced every few years,” says Duncan. “However, this can vary depending on how often you use it and how well you take care of it. If you use your portable power station regularly, you might need to replace it sooner than if you only use it occasionally.”
