wtf? Can't use this for emergency power? has to be used for camping?

You can use it for whatever you want, the same way you can use a toothbrush to scrub your house if you wanted to. This has less a lot less power than even a ssingle 100ah 12v LFP battery. (The ones that cost about $125 bucks nowadays). A lot less power.. they have about 1280 useable wh compared to approx 850ah for this. Neither one is a lot of power but 850 is obviously a lot less. It's not much. Run whatever you want but don't expect it to run anything for very long. I don't think you understand how fast 850ah gets used up.

there are expansion batteries, though it's expensive.

DJI even advertises this powering a fridge for "40" hours. They probably tested with a mini fridge, but a normal fridge is probably at least 10 hours?
This guy got 9 hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubrqV9blO00

Troll much? right, buy a 1kwh battery station with the intention of running your home fridge in an emergency situation That's so ridiculous, I'm not even going to entertain that incredibly dumb answer. Stop trolling.

People buy power stations for all sorts of reasons. Fridges is a common one because many people have hundreds of dollars in perishables in their fridge and freezer that they don't want to lose in a half day or day long outage.

But lots of other common use cases for power stations like this. Some people buy them to take car camping with a microwave and some lights. Some bring them to the beach to power some fans. Some bring them to jobsites to power tools. Some use them for simple home backup power for things like routers and laptops. Some use them as the main power source in a camper or RV.

My personal view is that this is a perfectly fine deal, but isn't the best deal. It's a good, reliable brand, and it's a good, reliable power station, but most people will probably be better off with slightly more capacity for the price, as you said.

It's just a meh deal. I personally wouldn't call it good or even fine. I follow these PowerStation deals almost religiously. It's a sickness. This deal breaks down to 39 cents per Wh which is very middle of the road. Lots of deals are better than that. Many of them being a lot cheaper. Under 40 cents/Wh is actually pretty common nowadays. I've even seen seen as low as 19 cents & 20 cents a couple times for for a reputable name brand power station. Just one example of a good deal would be the Pecron 3000Wh model thats bounced between $749 to $849 for at least a year now. The cheapest was $720 (23cent/Wh) with a coupon and thats when I bought one but $799 is still only 25cents/Wh. Even at its highest of 849 its still just 27 cents. Like I said, I keep a pretty close eye on Power Station pricing. Another good deal right now is the Oupes 2400 for $499. That's only 22cents/Wh. For a long time that exact model was only $420 which is only 19 cents per. It's really not difficult to find good name brand units much cheaper than this per Wh.

Keep in mind everyone, this only has a 100watt MAX solar power input. So IMO it has an oversized inverter for the capacity and just 100 watts of solar input? DJI really dropped the ball designing this PowerStation. Goes to show that just because you can design a good drone, doesn't mean you can design a good battery station. It would be hard to find a PowerStation with worst solar than this, even if you tried. Even with the capacity being small, it would still take 3 to 4 days to charge it with a 100watt solar panel.. But thats only if you actually get 3 to 4 days of solid sunshine and get close to a full 100 watts from your 100 watt panel. Good luck with that. So realistically, expect longer that that. Much longer. If you averaged 50 watts @ 4hrs per day it'd take almost an entire week to charge it. If you ever plan on or want to charge via solar, do yourself a favor, check this model off your list, and buy something else. Literally any modern power station will have better solar capability.
