It uses a external 40W PSU to charge it up. Max charge power is 40W even with a 100W Solar panel, so it basically takes 8h to charge it from 0-100%. The max output would be 40W for continuous operation / UPS mode without discharging the battery. Being LiFePO4, it has very low self leakage and great cycle life. The fan will come on as needed when in operation.
It's a nice unit for camping, power outages, extended laptop life, etc. It is small and light weight. All the specs are good except the charge rate which is why I think they keep dropping in price to unload them. This a great price for the specs given the proper type of applications.
I have this. Solar charging can get as high as about 51 watts. I have a 100w panel hooked up to it. The normal charger is 45 watts. Also can use USB-C to charge again at 45 watts. Takes a long time to charge; that's legitimately the only downside to this unit.
for these cheap units , never discharge 100%. things get weird or recharge times double as the charger attempts to recharge damaged cells. i own another brand name similar to darandaran and while it still works, battery indicator is not reliable any more. assuming same for this brand. this is a good deal to test the waters but i'm opting out permanently if no app tracking bc charging babysitting gets old after the first couple of times. i use my power stations daily
yeah, i know. i've been following the price for months and literally was earmarked to purchase at 90.... but due to bad exp with another brand, all of these cheaper no name brands are on my no no list. that said... you may have better luck than me? the price is really good. you just need to determine if these minor ish issues are a deal breaker

It's not a no name brand.

So do you think the fan would come on if I use it as a UPS for a model and network switch which uses about 18 watts max? Also, is the power supply separate or in the unit itself? If separate, does it get very hot when plugged in (the Daranener NEO300 had this issue).
Not sure this would be ideal for UPS. They advise on not keeping this plugged in. I don't believe this would do pass through
That's cheap. How is this brand? UPS functionality? If so, does the fan come on during ups mode?
The brand is fine, Tenergy has been around for over a decade. Their AAs and AAAs I have went bad after 5-7 years and aren't nearly as good as eneloops, but they also cost half as much.
Don't know how well they are doing in the Lithium game, but I'd be surprised if they suck.

Should run for 5 hours.

I don't recall it getting very hot when charging from AC
I mostly charge using a solar panel these days.
