I have been testing a 1000 capacity battery. Basically a 1kw. I can run my whole work from home set laptop, two large monitors (32" and 27"), podcast style mic, dell docking station, cable modem and 2.4ghz router for about 8 hours.

The first step is determining what you want to power and for how long. Then consider if you want to add solar, how much, and where you will put those panels. Next decide where will you put your power station how you will connect things when you need it. Finally look at the power stations that will meet those needs and see what features are important to you. I wanted an EcoFlow because it lets you set a charge range and when to start AC pass through to maximize solar...not all power stations do. If you are strictly just using it as a big UPS for your generator, then maybe you just need to focus on max input/output.

The C800X at $350 would be the one to go for. Else at $400 probably wait for the C1000 Gen 2 to hit it.

Community Reviews

The C800X is a compact portable power station best suited to light outage backup, camping, and smaller home setups. It can keep a single fridge going in an outage, and a roughly 1 kilowatt hour battery has been tested running a work from home setup with monitors, modem, router, and docking station for about 8 hours. The 100 watt solar panel is mainly a nice extra for recreational use, while outages are more likely to rely on generator or car charging. It is not intended for whole home backup, and its 20 millisecond transfer delay makes it a weak choice for a computer UPS.

Common Questions (4)

  • Runtime depends on the total wattage of the devices you connect. A roughly 1kWh battery can reportedly run a laptop, two monitors, a mic, docking station, cable modem, and 2.4GHz router for about 8 hours, but that assumes a relatively low average load and real-world inverter losses will reduce runtime.

    JoeJoeBlow90Big22Neo42

  • The C800X is positioned for lighter outage loads like a single fridge, while a C2000 Gen 2 is a better fit for a fridge plus freezer and an F3800 is better for TVs and internet. The included 100W solar panel is mainly a nice-to-have for recreational use, since outages are usually handled by generator or car charging.

    Dudeskisaavmm1010

  • It has about a 20ms transfer delay, so it is not ideal for a PC UPS if you need seamless switchover. It can still work for backup power, but sensitive computers may notice the gap.

    Ingus4533

  • It can charge from a generator if the generator output is clean enough. An inverter generator is fine, and the generator should be under 5% THD; otherwise most power stations will not charge reliably.

E10 is in a different category
I just pre-ordered the e10
E10 is for entire home backup
This is not for entire home backup

Do you mean 1kwhr? For 1kwhr battery to power for 8 hours that's a 1000/8 or 125 watt average load. That'd be assuming 100% inverter efficiency, which doesn't exist. all the stuff you listed combined consuming less than 125watt average seems unlikely. But maybe?

I'm at the stage where I know I need one of these but have no idea which one I should buy. I have a little 3200w generator for emergencies and people tell me it's best to pair them with a system like this for ease of use.
Anyone have any guides they recommend for me to get a grasp on this situation?

Consider other options if your desire is to last longer than 2 hours

depends on how long you want it to run. also note this thing has a delay of 20ms so not great for a PC UPS.

Also u want to know %THD of your gas generators. If it is inverter generator you are fine. Need less than 5% THD otherwise most power stations WILL NOT charge from gas generators.
