The UDPOWER C600 is a compact 596Wh LiFePO4 power station that stands out for portability, solid build quality, and useful everyday backup power. It has handled a full size refrigerator test, a wet dry vacuum, small electronics, and even a power hungry laptop, while solar charging works through the DC7909 port with compatible panels. The main drawback is slow wall charging, since the AC brick is only about 90 to 120W and a full recharge can take around 5 to 6 hours. It is also not a fast transfer UPS, and the shallow 12V port may not hold some fridge plugs securely, making it a practical backup for lighter loads.

Common Questions (5)

  • It can handle small electronics, laptops, fans, a wet/dry vacuum, and even a full-size refrigerator for short test runs. Runtime depends heavily on load: a 35-50W box fan can last much longer than a 100W draw, while a 20W fan load could approach a day when you account for inverter losses.

  • No, the C600 is not designed for fast-transfer UPS use and UDPOWER says the C400/C600 are not UPS viable. For sensitive gear that needs sub-10ms switching, the S1200 is the model to look at instead.

  • Expect about 5 to 6 hours for a full AC recharge because the bundled wall adapter is only around 90W to 120W. The C600 can accept up to 240W on its DC input, so faster charging is possible with a higher-output DC source or solar setup.

  • Yes, but the connector matters: the unit uses a DC7909-style round input, while many rigid panels use MC4, so an adapter may be needed. Users have charged it with 210W and 240W portable solar panels through that round port.

  • The 12V car outlet is shallow and may not hold some fridge plugs securely, so it is better suited to lighter 12V-to-USB style charging than a 12V mini-fridge. The unit is also described as lightweight and easy to carry, which helps for portable use.

Been thinking of buying one of these to keep around for blackouts so it can run my box fan and help me sleep.

Does anyone know if this would power a box fan for 8 hours?
Depends on your box fan and at what speed you run it.

https://ecocostsavings.com/box-fan-wattage/

This UDPower has a capacity of 596Wh.
If your fan uses 100W per hour, then you'd get about 5 hours since the UDPower's AC inverter will consumer some power.

Only the S1200 and S2400 have a UPS switchover time - their website says the C400 and C600 are not UPS viable.

As good as the S1200, C600 and C400 seem to be for the price vs performance ratio (S2400 seems to have issues), I wouldn't be using this brand to act as a UPS for anything with a dedicated GPU / expensive workstation.

Even the best power stations that are UL 1778 UPS rated (Anker basically) have shit voltage clamping and very low surge protection because they're made to handle a variable generator load; your rig could probably handle a high voltage, but it would be no good if it dipped below 100v, and these things don't regulate or shut off until it hits something like 80v.

I'm still planning on getting a setup with a power station UPS, but for my main rig I'll have voltage and surge protection in between (and maybe a traditional UPS) or put it on devices which can handle a brownout a bit more gracefully, like an old router and network switch.

The biggest problem with these units are that they are very much under-reviewed; almost all reviews are youtubers that aren't in the business of reviewing power stations. The S line being the exception, with a couple of notable youtubers (who do tests like sine wave, voltage capacity, etc.) noting that the S1200 is a pleasant surprise in performance to cost ratio, but the S2400 having a fatal flaw in that it'll reduce output to 90 or less volts at 20% or lower capacity, which would probably fry your rig. <= the company's response to that error hasn't been so great, and it's enough to keep me off of considering them for UPSs even on the less sensitive gear.

If you're looking to do an affordable power station as a UPS I'd look into the River 3 Plus by ecoflow - they have the refurb units that go on sale via ebay for 150 to 160 USD and have a 10ms switchover. I'm putting a cheap voltage and surge protector between those units and the wall, but they still won't be as good as a UPS with AVR in that regard.

I'm looking at the more expensive but pretty slick Anker S2000 that is coming out next week, UL 1778 rated, 2k capacity, rated to 10k cycles, a bit smaller and lighter than other 2k units. For 599, it's very good value for that class and will be cheaper than the x3 or x4 UPS units I cycle in the same life cycle if I can figure out how much the voltage clamping issue is mitigated with another device in the chain.

All that being said, I picked up x2 of these units so that I can use my teeny 800W generator to top up the C600s and feed the ecoflow and Ankers during a major power outage. It's a phenomenal deal, even if they can't be used as a UPS.

(Sorry for the war and peace been researching this stuff like crazy the past week)

I'm pretty sure it's only around 50 or 60 watts. Thank you!

how are you charging with your panel? what connectors will it take?
My Oupes Solar panel has two ways of charging power station this UD power station charges through the round connection cord in the center of this power station. You can see the round connector in the picture above.

was going to get this for hurricane preparedness to run small fans and such but only 120w ac input is an issue...will take almost 5 hours to fully charge it on ac power. if using a generator to charge it during a power outage it will be a dealbreaker especially when trying to minimize generator runtime. solar is 240w so that does cut it down somewhat. for comparison, the pecron for $45 more charges at 500w on ac and also has app control.

Yes this was my problem with it. Such a slow charge on AC.

I bought 3 100watt polar panels that was not long ago for $35 a piece. My goal is to mount the 3 on my sailboat and have for battery backup to start motor, run lights, radio, and have charging features for drone and laptop when nèeded. Goal is to be out longer on trips from shore. I have 100/20 smartsolar mppt charge controller. Went that route with a 100/20 if needed it would be available. Anyone recommend specific that would be a good purchase for a power station for three 300 watt solar panels?

That's incorrect - just for the 1200 model:

"The C600 is not designed as a fast-transfer UPS. If you need sub-10ms switching for sensitive gear, consider S1200 [udpwr.com] with dedicated UPS functionality."
Yes you are correct, my mistake, I went back and changed my post.

My mistake, the C Series does not have UPS, you have to move up to the S Series to get UPS. I think the 9070XT draws like 350W of power, so C400 would not be a good match for your use case anyway. You'll need to power other things in your gaming rig and that will take you over the 400watts of the C400. I would recommend looking at your power supply for each device and adding all that up, then give yourself like a 20% additional buffer to be safe.

The hell? 120W?!?!

I looked forever online for the AC charging rate and couldn't find anything about it. Thought it at least matched solar.

Trying to cancel my order as a result, 120W won't work.
