Deal Details
Great solar generator potential... never been this low before. It is being discontinued...

downside... heavy as heck and only 100 watt solar input or ac wall charging...

Upside... daisy chain to make a very affordable generator that surpasses jackery or bluetti in performance and capacity. Also the battery is replaceable... also can be used as a UPS for sump pump...

58 lbs. and it uses a sealed lead acid (SLA) battery which means discharging more than 50% of capacity will affect the longevity of the battery.

The street price is $700. Except for the price, I don't find any other upsides. This power station is obsolete. It has no USB-C PD output. No USB 3.0 QC. And the worst is the weight. It weighs 57lbs!

Kinda what I said... the upsides is you can get a 3000kwh ups for less than 700 bucks... it has more surge potential than both the jackery 1000 and the bluetti 1500. Keep this in one place and add batteries and you are golden.

How're you getting 3000kwh from the specs, I'm seeing 660Wh?

Don't they have usb-c wall adapters?

And how many lithium solar generators have 1400/2800 capacity for $400? Oh right. None.



This is probably not great for backpacking... but as a part of a home system to help provide power during an outage, a few of these might be pretty decent.

a good backup plan at home might be a honda generator. this battery will fade and die. i'm shopping for something like this and unfortunately no usb-c is a non-starter.

By daisy chaining two 100 ah agm batteries... that gives you an additional 2400 kWh... or double it and get 5400 for $1000. no other generator let's you daisy chain... this thing is phenomenal for home use... not for back packing... this is an incredible deal if you are looking for something to support your home...

Does this fall under the Costco lifetime satisfaction guarantee?

If my math is correct, this comes out to a whopping $606 per KWh. For lead acid... not even lithium. Yikes!

Really wish it uses Lipo batteries and maybe at least 1000kwh... I guess the daisy chain feature and Anderson solar input plug are cool tho ...

I would love this for $400. Is it still this price? I am not a member so I can't see the price online. The cheapest I can find it is at best buy for $599
