300Ah.

Not sure why companies insist on using mAh for anything larger than a smartphone.

edit: and to be honest, only Watt-Hours ( Wh ) makes sense as that is true capacity.

Compared to pricing from other vendors for similar units, this may be slick. It's worth mentioning, due to the likely practical application, that this is not 300ah at 12v. As mentioned, the Wh is the important and relevant spec here. At 12v this has a capacity of ~ 92Ah.

This is likely the same unit, for slightly cheaper:

Can I use something like this as a large UPS for my furnace fan, to get us an extra few hour of runtime in the worst case in the dead of winter?

Do you have a link? I'm a little confused since it says "1100Wh" as the capacity, and similar units are over $900 (according to Walmart app). What's the gotcha here?

See my post above. Not a "gotcha" but definitely room for clarification for folks that aren't as knowledgeable.

The watt hours are accurate. The mAh spec is misleading because they don't state the voltage. Watt hours = amp hours x volts, so one amp hour at 100v is 100wH, one amp hour at 10v is 10wH.

Wh is all that really matters. If this is 1kw then you can run something pulling 100watts for 10hrs… etc etc..

Given the current $ of Li battery this is a good deal. You could power a Midea U AC 8k. Combine it with $50 300w solar panels on eBay.

The specs are very confusing on this. It weighs 14kg so it really may be 1100AH. The reviews do not look that bad but could be fake. No way to tell the quality of the batteries and it doesn't say anything about an MPPT controller for solar.

Seems like a pretty good deal for the capacity but it also looks like the solar mppt has a max of 100w... Which is why that charge time is so high for solar. Although it's hard to tell, I found the 100w max info on the Amazon listing.

If it maxes out at 100w its a better deal to buy a 12V 100Ah Li Batt on ebay for $330 + $100 1kw inverter + $20 100amps 12V PWM solar charge controller.

For those who are crying about mAh, you can ignore it and look at the WH instead. 3.7v x 300,000 mAh = 1100Wh.

For some reason, cannot find the Battery chemistry on the spec sheets. Or nothing mentioned about the number of charge cycles.

The AC and solar charging is really slow. In comparison, others can charge a 1100Wh in 1-2 hrs not 7hrs like on this.

Other than that, the 1100wh capacity and 1000w for $450 is a very nice price.

don't know anything about the product or youtube reviewer, but this review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi9IrBX2PQg shows this being able to, at least for a short period of time, sustain a peak of over 1000w
