This should be good for about 4-6 hours. It also good for modem/router backup power.

600 wh x ~80% efficiency = 480wh
480 wh ÷ 200 watt = 2.4 hours assuming it is using full 200 watt the entire time.

I just curious and ran a stress test from https://mprep.info/gpu/ . It drawn 58wh for the Asus Gaming laptop GF75. I am sure the newer laptop would draw around 100wh.

This is a LFP battery meaning it should last a long time. However, it has a very low sustained wattage for AC outlets at 500w. But if you have low wattage requirements like lights for camping, heated blanket, or charging small devices, this is fine.

It will not be good for a microwave, toaster, etc.

Can I mount this outside on a shed? Will it hold up?

500W should be plenty. If by gaming you mean with a high power graphics card, then expect 2-3 hours of use when running games but 6+ hours for general use. The power adapter will have the highest power draw stamped on it. My older Asus G14 draws 230W under high load but only 50-60W for web browsing. For me then the 640Whrs would provide 2.5 hours under heavy use, 10 hours under light use.

Very good price, the solar panel list for $200+ by itself. The downside of the 600v2 is that it is not wifi capable, meaning that you cannot control the unit with your phone app nor monitor it.

Can I use this as a UPS? Would it damage the battery if it's plugged it for too long? I'm planning to plug my network rack into this. My modem, router, nvr and poe cameras all together pull less than 200w.

Should be fine:

- Instant UPS Backup Within ≤0.01s

I have a device (abit larger for longer run time) for the same purpose and it works fine.

Ha, the Lenovo I got recently has a 300w power supply, those laptop gpus can have up to 175w or so draw alone.

What is a realistic expectation of the 200w solar panel ?

Can you use the 12v output from the battery while charging ?

Would this run a 12v fridge 24 hours if it got 8hrs of sunlight per day ?

The fridge draws 65w in Econo Mode.

I posted this same deal before but got thumbs down.. I thought it was bad deal.. here in this post I see positive feedback... I am relieved that it is indeed a good deal...

one thing to mention is 600 V2 doesn't have wifi or bluetooth.. so cannot use the app.
