EDIT:
Turns out it is sold on Amazon as well and there are some reviews there. One reviewer said it weighed around 50 lbs which is actually a bit lighter than I expected given the capacity.
Concerning the ability to charge during use, the following was in the product description. Not relevant to me as I don't plan to use during solar charging since I mainly will be using it indoors after it is charged.
"The maximum supported PV (solar) watt input is 200W. When charging the product, it is not recommended that the AC outlet be used to output high-power products, The use of electrical appliances must be within the power range, and products that exceed the power range cannot be used, which will damage the portable energy storage power station."
The mfg claims full charge using solar in 8-10 hours of good sun but it doesn't seem possible given the 200W max solar input.

I think Nexpow did the math as 48v x 50aH to get 2400Wh. The Anderson port supports 12a @ 28v input for a max input of 336w, which I think is how they are getting the 8-10 hrs PV charge times. It's like they don't even know the true specs of the product they are selling.

I need a much more powerful solar generator and this price is very tempting, especially for LiFePo4 battery, but the website has issues and I never heard of this company before, which makes me nervous to risk payment there for this product.

I will avoid this bad company going forward.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything else I can try and there is just something not functioning with the DC input. Given the unhelpful and patronizing responses from the company, you'd have to be out of your mind if you think I'm going to ship the item back (at my own cost) with no guarantee of a refund or exchange. My only remaining option may be to dispute the charges on my credit card. This is really sad because I was planning to buy at least one more of these units. Please learn from my mistake: If it seems too good to be true, it's probably a scam.
Response from NexPow:
Hi,
When you need to charge the product, make sure it is within the range of voltage and current available for the charging mode. However, there is no problem when charging with wall plug, and there is no problem with our products. If you do not charge by other means, it means that your solar energy or other voltage and current requirements do not meet the charging requirements. If you need to return the goods, please return them to the following address:
