ALLPOWERSPortable Power Station R600, 299Wh LiFeP04 Battery with 2x 600W (1200W Surge) AC Outlets Solar Generator, Recharge from 0-100% in 1 Hour, for Outdoor Camping RV Home Use

Had a couple of technical issues to begin with, for starters the generator wouldn’t turn on, contacted the seller & they advised me due to lack of use it might if discharged full & would need 8-10hours of charge. 22 hours later still no life, contacted the seller again & they quickly decided to send me a replacement once I had sent the old one back, 3 days later received the new one in full working order. It was noted that I my old one had a 12v Charging lead but the new one didn’t, I contacted the seller again to ask about this, apparently the new one didn’t come with one supplied but as I had experienced a problem initially, they sent me one, this generator really packs a punch & it’s size makes it so convenient to carry round in the campervan, this is a highly recommended seller & would look to do business again! 5 stars!

Good capacity, fast charging, comprehensive display of power in/out, charging/usage times remaining, top wireless-charger. Charge is built-in, so no extra brick to lug around, just plug mains lead in directly.Comes with a fireproof LiPo-type carry-case (sent later in this case) - insulated with a silver lining - you could probably use it as a picnic cool-bag too :-). I use it for eBike topups, works AOK. Rated at 600w AC with a 1200w surge - mmmm. Hook up a small Dell b/w laser, operates at c. 600w, surge at startup 750w - gets tripped. However, charging eBike / other powerbanks / phone etc it's fine. But man is that fan noisy - you can't have this in bedroom or next to a workdesk - mine's been consigned to eBike charging at other end of house, which it does fine. Other than that, recommended, esp. if on promo.

It is very portable but bigger than another device I have that has a 40% higher capacity. It makes some disagreeable hums and whines so if you need it for a van or living space don't choose it. I use it in sheds outside so that doesn't matter to me.It charges quickly compared to other small units but not as fast as a bigger unit which leads me to think the readings are not very accurate. The time to full charge certainly isn't but I know battery management systems often take time to calibrate so this may improve with use. I have had other power stations with worse inaccuracies that have smoothed out over time especially when fully charged and discharged fully fairly often.I bought it to power a larder fridge but it cuts out when the compressor kicks in unlike a supposedly less powerful device with a lower surge maximum that I intended to swap it with while the other charged. Instead I have to charge the other from it which isn't too bad as it does charge twice as fast and can take more power from the solar panel which balances the inefficiency involved in passing the charge from one to the other. I have discovered all these power stations have quirks and you have to adapt to them to get the best use from them. I have yet to see it take 300w of solar despite being connected to 400ws of panels but did see 238w and as my panels are shaded at different times except when the sun is as high as it gets and the best any of my other power stations can take is 220w this is quite good anyway.I haven't managed to get the app to connect yet as I can't find the Bluetooth button and it won't connect despite showing a Bluetooth icon on the screen but this is probably because the labels are too small for me to read as my eyes are getting old. The picture in the instructions is too small to read too! If I wasn't familiar with other power stations the unit would have been a complete mystery!For the price the capacity isn't wonderful but the fast recharge stands out and makes it worth buying.The dust cover on the ac plug sockets prevent a UK plug from inserting all the way so will probably need to be removed if ac is what you want to use it for. Other power stations don't have them so this isn't a big issue just another little design flaw.

I like the number of different input and output types and voltages provided in this compact unit. A 9 volt DC output would be even better for greater battery charging capability, but low voltage equipment with a mains plug and transformer runs quietly without causing the cooling fan to cut in, so most laptops will run and charge quietly from the unit.A full recharge from from a mains source is pretty quick - about an hour. I've yet to test its solar panel recharge performance - not enough sunny days at this time of year and my home is not well oriented for taking the best advantage of solar energy. But with the unit connected to a 100W watt, 18 volt solar panel on a cloudy day, it seems to at least maintain its charge while recharging a 5 volt portable radio and 4 x 1.5 volt AA batteries at the same time.I'm looking forward to trying it out in its intended location, connected to panels on a south-facing roof with nearly uninterupted exposure, as an off-grid back-up supply to a router and other home office equipment.

I have high expectations for the the Allpowers R600 however I feel very let down by their quality control.On paper it looked just the job however, when it arrived the R600 wouldn't charge properly and kept turning itself off? It showed error code E207. I sent it back and the replacement did exactly the same! O returned that and the third one they sent.... Yes you guessed it.... Had the same charging fault showing error code E207.I returned it and asked for a full refund and decided to shop elsewhere and bought the CTECHI GT500. This does exactly what it should, looks amazing and hasn't let me down. I recommend the CTECHI GT500 in a heartbeat. I feel somewhat let down by Allpowers quality control and have since discovered that this charging fault is NOT an uncommon problem.Regards to all.
