Been shopping "solar power stations" for a while and not ready for an expensive plunge. This one by Paxcess gets good reviews on Youtube and Amazon (4.5 out of 5). Great starter unit that can be recharged by included AC adapter, included DC plug adapter (cigarette lighter), or your own USB type C power delivery wall charger, or optional solar panels.
For newbies, they are referred to as "solar stations" when the can be recharged by solar panels.
Great for camping and travel or emergency power outages to recharge small devices like phones, tablets, small lights and fans, but not power intensive devices. Station can recharge USB & DC while it is being charged, but no AC while being charged.
A common cost estimate to purchase a power station is $1 per watt making this an amazing deal with the $40 off coupon code and no tax (70 cents per watt). Free shipping to USA, likely from China.
This item is available on Amazon with Prime delivery for $40 more.

Yep, good call. They even have a picture of it charging and being used but it's actually not possible. Could be considered false advertising
Need to set it up before you take a nap

anyone know if this would last a night on this?
1. Can I charge this power station while supplying power at the same time?
When the power station is in recharging, the USB/ TYPE-C/ DC output ports are workable; but there is no AC output at this period.
Do they make anything that can charge at the rate of a standard 110 wall plug ?

Need to find out how many watts your fridge pulls, then see below:
How to know the working times for my device?
Working time = (230Wh*0.85)/working power of the device. For reference, assuming your device consumes 30W (possibly a 40-inch TV), the working time is 230Wh*0.85/30W ≈ 6.5hr
.85 because they assume you get 85% of the stated Wh of your power station.
I think this one is better for slightly more money

Looks like a problem with the USB C fast charge according to multiple reviews. All else looks fantastic on that unit!

Looks good to me thanks! Just $30 more I'll go for it. Now I need to find me some solar panels to buy for it.
