A LiFePO4 power station
The short version
Battery, charger and outlets in one box you can carry. EcoFlow, Anker SOLIX and Bluetti are what most people end up with.
Who it's for
Great for
- Outages
- Camping and tailgates
- Renters
Not for
- Running a whole house
The catch
Costs more per kWh than a real home system. Great for small needs, not for running a house.
See it in action
People running it, and people who put it through its paces.
