It charges in 1.5 hours, impressive. But, it doesn't charge from normal wall unit. Why? I am new to this kind of stuff and was looking to carry one in my electric car for a small electric heater device (700W) while driving. How do you charge it then?

One of the images shows 1.5 hour recharge from 240V, and 2.7 hour from wall charging.

I'm sensing some shenanigans going on with the details of this power station. Says 3.6kwh of capacity = equivalent to 280ah 12v. Also claims 51lbs for the unit. A single 12v 280ah battery should weigh around 60lbs - without any of the extra stuff found in a power station. There is some wrong information somewhere.
I only know Growatt from their inverters, so I can't really say much about their storage units.

how much does this thing weigh? Not to mention the price. Might be better off considering a small honda generator.

So am I reading this deal correctly? 7200 watts for just under $2300?

There aren't a lot of reviews for this brand. I read about other brands such as Oupes and my concern is they can become unreliable with day-after-day use. It's far less expensive than Ecoflow or Jackery so my assumption is some quality/reliability is sacrificed.

It doesn't use 12 v batteries. They use 51.2 V Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. 5.12 KWh batteries weight 90 lbs in a metal case so non wrong info. Just moved up to higher voltage LFP batteries.

Actually, I found the fine print that says you have to get 2 of them in parallel to so the 7200 watts of 240 V. So you would need to buy 2. Good to know you can parallel them I guess.

I was giving an example of something with a similar capacity. A 48v 70ah battery will have the same weight and capacity as a 12v 280ah. 12v 280ah batteries are more common and easy to look up for weight information. I've lugged around enough 12v 280ah batteries (in plastic casing) to know they don't weight 50lbs especially with a built in inverter and chargers.
