PAXCESS Generator Portable Power Station-[150W Upgraded]-Lithium Battery Pack Supply with 110V AC Outlet, 3 DC 12V Ports, 2 USB Port, Solar Electric Small Generators for Camping Travel Home Emergency

.I consider it 5-stars because I got it for $86 (and a “Rockpals” branded clone for $99). This is way below the $1-per-watt-hour that many other power stations sell for.The look-alike brands are identical except for labeling, warranty and customer service. (There is no branding on the box, owner manual, etc.)You can set price alerts on camalcamelcamel if you want to wait for an awesome price.I tested it with a 100-watt AC crock-pot, a 100-watt cigarette lighter water kettle, a 50-watt cigarette lighter USB-C laptop charger, and USB iPhone charging.The listing info and owner manual info is flaky, so I will provide some correct details below.PROs: * Nice price (especially when below $100) - Looks and feels like “good-enough” quality (See Note 1)OKs: - 178 Watt-hour capacity checks out, approximately. (see Note 2) - User manual is pretty complete, with some gibberish and errors. (See Note 3) - AC output in NOT “Pure Sine Wave” (See Note 4)- - - More Info - - -Power On: The DC and USB outputs are always on. The “Power” button is not a power button at all. It simply turns the display on. This always-on feature is useful in many situations (un-useful in others). The AC inverter is powered on/off by pushing the AC button.Unregulated DC Voltage: When fully charged, the DC output is about 12.4 volts. As the batteries drain, output gradually drops to 11 volts, 10 volts, and lower.Fan noise: I’d say it’s low-to-moderate and the fan rarely comes on. In noticed it coming on after about 20 minutes of pulling 100 watts from the AC outlet. There is a much softer noise that comes from the unit, but only when the display is on. So this thing is 100% silent 95% of the time.- - - Notes - - -Note 1: I look closely at things. It looks and feels very good for a budget unit. The display is ever-so-slightly crooked. The electrical connections all seem precise and grippy enough, with the 12-volt outputs especially grippy and solid.Note 2: My rough tests and calculations agree with the claimed 178 watt-hour capacity. But never expect 100% of stated capacity. Power banks state ideal “nominal” capacity of the batteries. There is some loss to the display, inverter (when using AC), receiving device, etc., and batteries steadily lose capacity as they age.Note 3: Manual is mostly useful and complete, but there’s nutty stuff also: “Charging: When the power if filled, please remove the charger in time.” Also, the Power button info is completely wrong and no warranty info is stated. (Save listing screen shot for warranty).Note 4: According to the owner manual, the “modified sine wave” AC output is “for emergency use only and cannot replace normal alternating current.” It may cause noises and inefficiency in certain AC devices, especially devices with motors. I don’t know how serious this is. For resistive loads (like croc-pot or 12-volt electric kettle) I think it’s no problem. Maybe also fine for laptop chargers.~~~ Comments & questions welcome ~~~

This portable power station is a life saver. My child invited all his friends to his birthday party, they played games on their computers, but there's no more power outlets in his room, all are used. The kids were disappointed. Then I took out this power station. This small battery has an outlet and 2 usb outlets which is enough for my child and his friends to use. The LED display is very clear so you know how much power you have. At the end of the party it only used half of its power. It is a good powerful battery! I am so happy to buy such a practical item! Next time I can bring it to places to try it out when I am away from home.

I bought it because me and my friends are planing for a camping night, however, the weather changes a lot we haven’t go yet. I tired it when I got this package, I have been so excited to use as first time. I plug my lamp and iPad, it works perfectly good. Now I can plan better for my coming camping, I am gonna bring my phone, CD player, speaker, camera and so on. My friend say bring a projector, that’s a good idea lol. I think it’s also good to keep one at home or car just in case. Good price and just the item what I need

This portable power motivator is really great, with the solar battery it’s even better by making it a natural need. When ever I go outside for picnic or trip I always bring this with me it’s legit like the best thing ever. After that it’s like my outside buddy. It also has a lot of outlets which is can be plugged with in multiple different plugs. There’s also 2 USB outputs that can come in handy with. There still so much more thing about this and it can generate and carry up to tons of electricity

I am not sure if my one is defective or not but didn't provide even half as much power as is advertised. Highly disappointed. I would avoid this one and go with another option.

Bought this for running my CPAP while camping. Used 2 bars of energy per night being that my machine is set at a higher pressure. Easy to use and recharge. I like the multiple charging options, AC/DC/USB. It recharges off AC/DC. Item is compact and stores easily in the original box.

Purchased this item as an emergency power source for my C-Pap machine. I took it for a trial run one night and by morning I had used half the charge. (according to charge meter). I kept my C-Pap with humidifier on running all night long (about 6-hrs). Happy with the piece of mind that I have a power source if we loose electricity during storms.

Haven't used it much just for simple things but hopefully when I really need it it'll work as advertised
