What Customers Are Saying
The product has mixed reviews, with many customers reporting issues with battery life, recharge time, and the unit's ability to power devices as expected, especially during emergencies or extended use. However, some customers found the power station useful for limited, short-term applications when the batteries were fully charged, particularly those who already owned compatible batteries. Overall, the product appears to have significant performance and reliability problems that may make it unsuitable for most users.

Shockingly bad product. Needed to buy additional battery chargers to improve basic functionality. No product support. Look elsewhere for a portable power station.
Nice way to charge multiple batteries…
Very expensive but versatile. Nice way to charge multiple 40w batteries and also have portable power for camping.

Not worth the money
18 hours to charge the 2 batteries that come with it. Batteries start discharging as soon as you unplug it from charging. Lowes will not except it as a return once opened. I purchased it for storms, not dependable at all, should not be on your shelves if you know it's unreliable. Especially for $800 plus dollars

Terrible product
I purchased this new and bought an extra two batteries to extend the use time and battery. It took over 24 hours to charge. Then I removed the batteries as recommended, but when I tested it later that day batteries were at 80% already and only worked on a 1k watt range for 20 minutes.

Out of stock batteries
Product holds 4 batteries but only comes with 2. When ordering the additional batteries they are out of stock or unavailable. With 2 batteries the unit can only put out 60 % of output.

Poor battery life
This took 12 hours to charge and drained in 2 hours. I plugged fridge in for one hour- then plugged into Xmas tree and charged phones. In am- used to brew one pot of coffee and battery depleted. It came with 2 “double” for 2 of 4 slots and additional batteries couldn’t be found for purchase. The extremely long charging time and quick battery depletion make this purchase a dud!
