I bought it when it was $750, been quite happy with it. It lasts about 6-7 hours running a 350-450w AC unit. I have 3 solar panels hooked up to it and I've seen it peak at 575w input on solar.
The fan that cools the solar controller has started to make some noise when it first starts up and can be a bit loud, otherwise no real complaints.
AC charging from dead takes about about 2 hours as it charges at 1200W. Do be warned, I think it may draw over 1800w when charging as it does pass through charging.

How does it do pass through charging ? Wall current is 110v AC while the lipo4 batteries charge with DC current and would have to be processed to be converted from wall AC to DC so cannot be passed through without conversion. I'm a little confused what you mean by it does pass through charging ?

From what I can tell, it acts as a power strip. The AC outlets get their power directly from the wall and not getting converted from the battery. So you have the battery pulling ~1200W from the wall using it's built in AC to DC converter and then you have the 3 AC outlets also pulling from the wall.

Ahh... I see, so what is not making sense to me is just a difference in semantics. To me, pass through means just that, passed through without being changed in any way. To me, once it goes through an ac to dc converter it is no longer unchanged and therefore was not simply passed through, it was processed or changed. Lol, now I get it, both our understandings on how the process happens is essentially the same, just the definitions are different.
Bought this awhile back it isn't a great unit. it got a cheap BMS that doesn't keep track of the charging status correctly. Would jump from 15% to 100% if you charge it off another power station. The fans for this unit seem to get louder over time. Customers' support is non-existent. They also hide all negative reviews from their site. And their return policy is ridiculous. Pretty much if you used it, they won't accept it back... My unit arrived with 0% on it. I had to charge it and I can't return it. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY
Do not make the mistake of purchasing this battery... they edit all of the reviews on their site from the customers original review. Fake reviews...
I received a battery that drains rapidly (while nothing is plugged in) and then dies completely at 49%. I submitted a warranty claim and sent the battery back. They notified me that they were sending a new one. I received the battery and it functioned EXACTLY as the first one had, it is very likely they sent the same original battery back to me. Now they will not respond to my emails.
These are defunct batteries that the company is failing to stand behind.
I will update the post if anything changes on the customer service end but be warned that these are not dependable batteries. My review was edited by their team from a very poor review to a very good review. This is a scam.

Haven't had a chance to use it much yet. Hooked up my chest freezer for about an hour before the power came back on.
