Looks like they took 5% off the original price of $299

TINY battery! A 1amp / 120v device might last ~2 hours.

Can you limit the soc to 80% for example on these yet?

Not with the latest firmware.

Beware:

I bought two of these about a year ago.

1 of them worked fine, the other had a serious short into the incoming charging port right out of the box.

Very difficult to get it to charge.

I use mine to run a 26qt bougeRV fridge. It can run the fridge at 30 degrees in 90 degree weather for about 8 hours.

There is a known issue with these getting an overload error and stop working. it just happened on mine but it was most likley my fault as i repaired my air pumps cabling and might of crossed the wires. working with support now for a repalcement, looks like you need to ship the old unit out first before theyll ship you a replacement

These are a defective design, mine crapped out, customer service is non existent, read the subreddit before you purchase

I got mine to act as an ups. However, it is very warm with no load, and the fan makes the grossest noise when on. I contacted support, and they said it was fine and "normal behavior." While it works fine for a battery in emergencies, I don't leave it plugged in as they advertise, as at best it's noisy, and at worst a fire hazard, I think.

I wouldn't touch these. I have a short or temp problem constantly. The percentage left is constantly out of wack. It won't charge properly most of the times (have to plug in AC charging first for 10 minutes before I can switch to solar charging). Yeah, get an ecoflow

Had to return both of mine. Wouldn't charge or even turn on after 1-3 months on each of them. Would never buy again

I too had one and returned it. It would overheat even on a mediocre load, and the firmware kept the fan off until it cooled down. Took a couple hours before you could use it again. Sent it back. I stick with ecoflow or pecron now.

Agree with most of the other comments, don't buy. My biggest problem is charging. I plug it in thinking it will be 100% the next time I unplugg it, nope... It will randomly be 50%. Or I'm using it with a small load and then I try and plug it in and it's to o hot and won't charge.

I have one of these. I was going to use it as a UPS but it didn't work--it would randomly cut off for a split second at random times. Also just having it plugged in to AC at 100% and no load causes it to get warm.
