GOLABS R150 Portable Power Station, 204Wh LiFePO4 Battery with 160W AC, PD 60W, 12V DC, Type C QC3.0 Outles, Solar Generator Backup Power Supply for Outdoors Camping Fishing Emergency Home Orange

** Initial Impressions **I ordered this, mostly on a whim, on Prime Day and I think I got lucky. This seems to be one of the best "small" (200-300 Wh) power stations in terms of features, capacity, and price. To start with, LiFePO4 battery chemistry is more desirable for me than conventional Li-Ion technologies for the longevity and the improved safety.My unit was delayed a few days in transit but given the state of the supply chain world I am not unhappy. This model seems compact and feels well built. All inputs and outputs work just fine for my needs. I've run up to 80 watt loads on the AC output. I paired this with a 60-watt rated "budget" solar panel that was also discounted on Prime Day. I routinely get 45 Watts charging power into the power station but have seen it peak as high as 50. I wish that I had bought a oversized panel (80 watt) panel so that I could get minimum charge time but this setup really works quite well.I wish that this unit had the cigarette lighter outlet (or even power poles) on the front of it but given its low price and small size sacrifices must be made. The LCD display is readable in most conditions. I have to shade mine when it is outside next to the solar panel to read it.I'm sure some may gripe about the modified sine wave AC output versus the pure sine wave. I don't think it is that big of a deal--I've powered both AC motor based and low voltage AC-DC adapter driven electronics without issue.** RF Quiet **I'm a license ham radio operator. I used this to power my Yaesu FT-817ND transceiver and found it to be very quiet. I believe that is due to the 4S configuration of the battery yielding 12.8V nominal output. Larger power stations use higher battery voltage and then require a step down converter for the 12V output and therefore introduce both radiated and conducted interference (noise) to a receiver.** Camping **In addition to powering my transceiver during a recent camping trip (to a primitive site) I used this to keep my LED tent lights on during the night. I have a larger power station that I use for my portable refrigerator and I'll admit that I would not want to lug that beast around for portable lighting or quick tasks (inflate/deflate the air mattress) around the campsite.5 out of 5 stars and highly recommended.

I bought this to power my astrophotography rig (telescope mount, camera, and computer) and with the hope that it would be small and light and last a few hours at least. It does this very well. I love the small size and light weight, since there is a lot of other equipment to lug around for this hobby and often nowhere near an AC plug.Tried using it to power a power recliner in my living room and found that it can't quite start the AC motors, even though it has the power to run them once started. So if you're thinking about powering something with a motor, consider the starting requirements of the motor and not just the continuous operating power requirement. Not a big deal for me since I didn't buy it for this purpose, but a learning nonetheless.

I bought this to power a 12v fridge for overnight camping trips with the idea being that I'll drive enough the next day to charge it enough to last the next night. I definitely overestimated how much capacity I needed, so if you are here to power a fridge for more than 1 night get a bigger one.This will easily keep my fridge running from around 2:00 pm to 7:00 am the following day if it's fully charged, my fridge is set to ECO mode, and the ambient temps aren't crazy. But, if you don't have a good way to charge it the following day you won't get another night out of it.It says 160w peak, but I was able to power my electric pellet smoker at 190w for 10 minutes or so at a time, so that was a nice surprise.Build quality is great. Being able to charge it at 60w via the PD port is awesome. That will cut charge time in half than from the AC adapter. Speaking of the PD port, I recently began having issues where it would no longer charge at 60w. It was capped out at 6w! I tested the charger brick on my phone and it seemed to still fast charge it, so I assumed it wasn't the power brick. Emailed golabs support and received a response in 24 hours. They tried to help me troubleshoot it to no avail and then immediately offered a refund.A few days later though, the PD port is back to charging at 60w, so I have no idea what happened, but will keep an eye on it.The adapter for the 12v plug is kind of shallow, so my fridge plug has a hard time fitting flush. I'll tape it to be extra sure it doesn't fall out.Lightweight, solid build. Could use it as a weapon if needed...

I got it, was almost dead (33% per its own indicator which was unseen/detectable) until I plugged it in.I was totally prepared to charge it 10hrs or until power stopped blinking.It turned OFF during charge period & I had to constantly power on to check power availability.I got it to 100$ & no blinking. So I packed it box, stored it my truck this MORNING for a 2.75hr road trip to beach. Fully intending to use for a projector movie tomorrow's night!I tried to charge 3 phones whike it showed 98% charge. 2 older I Ipones & 1 Droid. In 15mins it was 100% dead! Wth?!It showed 100% 5mins prior! I bought specifically to charge phones & have a power bank for my projector to watch a movie per camp trip, & feel good about shopping small biz & local- NOW I feel I should have gone with the other close comparison with different battery, that was also $30 cheaper!I charged this over 5hrs, had Bo constant blinking light as it auto turns off making it hard to know what it is charged to & apparently the power display of 99% means nada! I followed instructions to a TEE & STILL have bo charge or power from it beyond 5mins of phone charge!Significantly disappointed in product.I will attempt to charge in car & drain my battery for sake of redemption & in Cafe onsite... but if I get another "99" battery & it does after 5mins of charging a phone I will ask for a refund!Juuuust so ALl are aware of experience!
