Vestwoods 2010Wh 1000W Portable Power Station | LiFePO4, UPS

Key Features

The UPS mode is the detail that separates this from a basic power bank: it switches to battery power in under 20 milliseconds when mains cuts out, fast enough that a router, a laptop or a WiFi camera on it never actually loses power.

1000W continuous output (1500W peak for short bursts) covers a fridge, a 55-inch TV, a laptop and a WiFi router running at the same time, roughly 305W combined, for 5 to 6 hours straight. LiFePO4 battery chemistry holds up to significantly more charge cycles than standard lithium-ion before capacity drops off, a real factor in a device meant to sit ready for years of occasional blackouts.

Specifications

• 2010Wh capacity, 1000W (1500W peak) output
• LiFePO4 battery, UPS mode <20ms switchover
• 2.5hr AC charge, 4-6hr solar charge (600W input)
• Under 25dB, 2 year warranty

Recharges fully from mains in about 2.5 hours, or from a 600W solar array in around 4 to 6 hours of good sun, connected via a solar PV cable with MC4 connectors if the panel needs a longer run to reach it. Runs under 25dB, quiet enough for a bedroom or living room, with no fuel or fumes.
