I bought this 2 months ago and did some basic testing. Overall, capacity sees to be on par while running a 50W box fan, about 73% usable Wh from the battery (50W fan ran for 4.25hrs going from 100% to 0% shutdown of AC output). It read 1% at 4hrs, but still lasted that extra 15mins before the AC output was automatically turned off. Power station display remained on, so it's not a total shutoff (which is good!). Recharted it back no issues with the 65W charger that it came with. Took ~5hrs to fully charge from that 0% state. Note that there's no direct AC charge, only via USB-C (up to 140W) or through solar (standard solar barrel connector).
I tried running it on UPS mode (65W USB C charger plugged in and output to AC), but it would drain to 99% and charge back up to 100% every ~10mins or so. Most LFP power stations do this, but I don't recommend doing this long term due to potential excessive wear on the battery. The app does NOT have an option to stop charging at 80% (actually very few brands have this capability, Ecoflow being one).
Overall I'm pretty pleased with this unit at this price. But it does seem like power station prices are dropping like crazy. I've heard Gendome is a decent brand making batteries for EV's, so it's at least a step up from the no-name brands in my opinion.
