FYI - used items even from Anker direct only have a 3 month warranty. With the pretty awful reliability according to Amazon reviews, I already decided to pass on the last deal.

"We regret to say that our 5-year warranty is for a brand new 521 power station only. A refurbished 521 power station has a 3-month warranty from the date of purchase. "

That what I thought too. I actually had good experience with anker and the support. It's sad they don't sell the 5 port usb car adapter

Why do these types of products keep showing up when searching for generators? This is not a generator and I do not see the term generator appear anywhere in the post or ensuing discussion. Sure maybe some folks choose to use this "power station" in place of a small generator, but it is not a generator.

Also, get off my lawn.

Read the reviews. This isn't a generator. It might power your tablets and phones for a day or two but nothing major.

Quote from SaverDaddy :
You're right. These are better than generators. They don't make noise. They don't have moving parts, and they don't rely on a fuel source that will be nearly impossible to get when a catastrophic event takes place.
Those may be some advantages but it still doesn't explain why SD floods my search results for "generator" with these. I may have to take this one up with senior leadership. Let me speak with the manager!

Anyone know of a portable battery system kinda like this that can support a large inrush current? Most of my power tools are electric, and there's some stuff that's just a smidge too far to reach with my extension cables. Would love to be able to just schlep a battery pack with enough juice for 20 minutes of chainsawing to the edge of my property to take care of a few once-in-a-long-while tasks. Would also give peace of mind if a disaster hits and a beefier tool than a drill is needed for enough quick repairs to patch up windows or cut a branch out of a wall.

Don't buy Anker for big purchases like this. They refuse warranty for my problematic product out the door. The barrel connector heats up on my 'battery generator' and melted the connection terminal. It could be a faulty unit but I was more upset at the fact that they didn't even care what happened and take notes for their records.
