Actually less than what it took from the outlet, because there are inefficiencies in charging/discharging and in converting between AC and DC. This is about having power away the grid, not saving money

"This might sound like a dumb question, but is it true that the power a power bank takes from a home outlet is the same amount of energy it gives back when you use it? It only really saves energy or becomes 'free' when charged with solar panels, right?"

In terms of your question, the sun's effort and effect on your solar panels would give you that "free" energy.Otherwise from the wall, it's e=mc squared. Power in; power out...factored by the degradation of the batteries over time.

We keep a couple of these charged up at the house just in case. Watching Netflix on my phone for hours during a power outage without worry is worth the price.

If you have important powered devices like a CPAP to sleep, these can be a live saver.

The EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station at Costco for $230 is the better deal, yes? 768 Wh. I'm new to these battery types. We don't lose power very often but want something to keep the fridge going for a while if needed. Thanks.

First step is to get a Kill A Watt meter, or cheap knock off. Knock offs are like $10. You want to know how much your fridge (or whatever you want to back up) draws. Lets say it's 200W (I have no idea what a typical fridge costs). 500 Wh will get you 2.5 hours, 768 Wh will get you roughly 3.5.

Also keep in mind weight. The 500 Wh I have weighs under 20 lbs. I also have a 1500 Wh one that weighs over 40 lbs.

Finally in general the higher power an inverter is the less efficient it will be. This is because the idle draw on a 600W inverter is going to be a lot lower than a 1500W inverter.

One more thing, my recommendations. Look into the FlashSpeed 1500, FlashSpeed 600, and the FlashSpeed extra battery by Vtoman. I can get two full workdays running my computer and internet if I ever had to off the FS 600 and the extra battery, and the 1500 is just an overkill beast for anything I need it for. Look on AliExpress and refurbs on Ebay, they can get crazy cheap.

Also make sure that your power station can support the startup current. I don't think the Anker would work for a full size fridge, maybe the ecoflow would, maybe not.

anybody know, could this stay plugged up all the time, and a device plugged to it? With the idea that my modem plugged to it , incase the power goes out, it wouldnt effect my modem, and then this would essentially stay charged until that moment? Or is that not safe with somthing like this

According to Anker support, it seems like this model can act as a UPS

Yes, there is a loss with pretty much energy conversion or transfer. Another benefit is for people who have time of day or peak usage where you can charge when energy is less expensive and use when energy is more expensive. It's not really practical on something this small.
