If so, that would be a huge advantage of having the XT60 plug. Otherwise, don't see the point.

an XT60 cable is less than $10

edit: and now you mentioned the xt60 and power stations, which also means this battery is ready to plug into most power stations for instant added capacity (for the user confused on why it would have an xt60).
I bought the 50aH non-bluetooth Eco Worthy this week for $100 shipped. I wish I had waited.

The second product clearly says it has a built-in solar charge controller so thats great. So, what part of you need a solar charge controller don't you understand?
So about connecting a 12v battery directly to a solar gen. This can be accomplished by simply adding a 3 dollar XT60 pigtail to it but keep in mind, If you use it this way for a solar gen, you are limited to a slow as molasses charge rate of about 120 watts (because solar gens are limited to 10amps on there dc input) so its a far cry from instant additional capacity. But yes you can certainly do that. Better to get a device that ups the 12 volts to at least 24 but preferable 48. By doing this, you can tie directly into the solar input on a solar gen and get hundreds, even a thousand watts of charging power on solar gens that can handle that much solar. Most modern ones can handle 5 or 600 watts of solar input so that's still 500% to 600% faster than plugging in a 12v battery directly.
