Deal Details
Now $350, still a good deal at $0.53/Watt but not as outstanding. There have been some others at similar price per Watt but I didn't see any with 100W USB C PD both in and out; simultaneous charge and discharge, etc.

Be sure to click the "extra savings" to get the 45% off price or enter code DDXZFKHF.

I bought one of these 3-4 weeks ago at $300 and I am very happy with it. It seems a quality unit with the all the features I was looking for and some I didn't expect (simultaneous charging from USB-C PD and the power port.) I recommend reading the review by A Martinez ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/custome...dctrvw_srp )

I ran mine for XX36XX hours with a portable refrigerator and the 633Wh seems honest. At <$0.44 per Watt-hour it is a good deal given all the features. My only criticism is that the DC port turns off if it sees no load as a safety feature; that doesn't work well for my use with a refrigerator that cycles on/off. I need to add another small load to prevent that or use the 110V port. (I used the 110V port for the XX36XX hour trial.) The shipping took ~5 days by truck from Los Angeles; I suspect these are not allowed on airplanes due to the size of the battery.

Specifications
Model Milin 622Wh Power Station (MLPS001)
Battery Capacity 622Wh
Dimensions 29*21*20.5cm / 11.4*8.2*8in
Weight 14.99lb (6.8kg)
Working Temperature -10-40℃
2*AC Output 100V, 600W (Pure Sine Wave)
2*DC Output 2*12V, 10A
Car Outlet 12V, 10A
USB C 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/5A
DC Input 12-24V

Edit: I looked at my test again, it was only 26 hours not 36 hours or at least that's what my time lapse says. I am trying again running off the DC rather than the AC. I made a simple 1 Watt load to keep the 12V running and it is on right now. I am guessing it will run longer on 12V DC rather than the 120V AC.
Edit: I ran it on the 12V with a dummy 1.5W load. After 49 hours it is at 15%. I need the space back so I am calling it done.

Have had a good experience with my unit so far as well. Time will tell if this lasts, but seems to be performing to spec so far.

Yes it should be fine. The manual says it will run for 10 hours with no load on 120V unlike the 12V. Notice that I edited my result; it ran for 26 hours not 36 hours. My refrigerator was a TechClic 30l model.

When you first plug in charge does the input watt go up and down then finally settles? Seems weird mine always does this. Also when charging with power brick and Power Delivery sometimes the power delivery will stop charging. Let me know if you experience the same thing.

I haven't tried the usb c charging but my wall charger does that. The unit has MPPT so it probably searching for the max power point.

This deal is dead but here is a different power station from a reputable company, Chafon, that comes out to $0.53/Watt as well.

Chafon 568WH Portable Power Station $299 AC
https://www.amazon.com/CHAFON-153600mAh-Generator-Adventure-Emergency/dp/B08HYVNB9X/ref=sr_1_3?dchil... [amazon.com]

Pair this with their 80W portable solar panel which is currently 35% off for $89.99 and you have a nice setup

Check out the link that I posted right above.
DC port will not turn off if no power draw detected. Also 12v DC is regulated.

Timsy, what are the details on the 'dummy' DC load you plugged into the milin? I'm looking to prevent mine from shutting off as well.

I hooked up a DC splitter like one below that has a small LED display and that has worked to keep it always on. It draws 1W with my DC refrigerator connected to it. My fridge has a small LED display as well, so combined between the two I guess it draws 1W.

Mind sharing the exact dc splitter you are using? I picked up a similar one on Amazon and it's not keeping the port open

They no longer sell it, but may be due more to the refrigerator. I am using the Masimo CX50 from Costco with it and combined with the splitter it will draw at least 1W always.

I have the same cooler! The combination on the splitter plus cooler seems to work - milin reports 1w draw when cooler is idle. I'll leave them plugged in overnight but this is a neat hack. Thanks!

Currently on Amazon for $499 with a $250 coupon, so net $250 and works out to $0.40/watt.
But, what type of battery? Does not seem to be the LIFEPO4 as they don't say.
