LiFePO4 battery, USB type C port with 100W Power Delivery support, on/off switches per plug group.
Only one USB type C connector, poor quality sockets.

The XO PSA-1200 mobile charging station will become a reliable assistant during a power outage or during outdoor activities such as fishing.

The basis of this model is a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with a capacity of 1229 Wh. In terms of output connectors, there are two 230V sockets, a group of two USB-A and one USB Type-C (supporting 100W Power Delivery fast charging), as well as a 12V cigarette lighter and two 12V DC outputs. It is important to note that switches are provided for each group of connectors, which allows efficient use of the station's charge by turning on only the necessary ports.

There are comments that the model could have had more USB Type-C ports, and sometimes the sockets are not strong enough. Large adapters may fall out of sockets due to their weight. In general, the XO PSA-1200 can provide loads with a total power of up to 1200 watts. The station's current charge level, power consumption and remaining run time can be monitored on the built-in display.

The model can be charged in three ways: through a household power outlet (in approximately 74 minutes), through a cigarette lighter socket in a car, and through solar panels up to 500 W (in approximately 3 hours). In addition, it includes a 2-watt flashlight with three lighting modes: constant light, bright light and SOS signal. The XO PSA-1200 is a relatively affordable charging station with well-balanced features.

Li-Ion NMC battery, two 230V pure sine wave outlets, two USB type C ports with 100W Power Delivery support.
Only one USB type C connector, poor quality sockets.

Portable power station Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro can serve as a backup power source for mobile gadgets and laptops, as well as kitchen and household appliances. The model is able to withstand a total load of up to 1000 W and has a pulsed power in short-term mode up to 2000 W.

Inside this charging station , a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide Li-Ion NMC type battery with a capacity of just over 1000 Wh is used. This model also delivers approximately 1,000 charge cycles without significant performance loss. Explorer 1000 Pro is able to keep the refrigerator running for 6-8 hours, keeps the TV running up to 12-14 hours and can charge the smartphone multiple times.

The outputs of this portable power station include two 230V pure sine wave outlets, two USB-A ports with 18W, two USB Type-C with Power Delivery 100W, and a 12V cigarette lighter socket. The charging station can be controlled via the built-in display showing current load, remaining battery power and warnings of overloads or errors.

It takes less than two hours to fully charge the battery of the device from a regular household outlet. Charging from four Jackery Solar Saga 200W solar panels will also take about the same time, but the cost of such a kit can be quite high. From one panel, you can charge the power plant in about 8 hours. In addition, the model can be charged from a car cigarette lighter socket or a generator.

LiFePO4 battery, four 230V pure sine wave outlets, UPS function, two USB type C ports with 100W Power Delivery, smartphone control, optional battery connection.
Noisy cooling fans.

EcoFlow is renowned for its reliable and easy-to-use portable energy products, and the DELTA 2 is no exception.

This energy station has a 12 kg body with comfortable carrying handles. The front panel of the device has a color information screen that displays key indicators of battery charge and power consumption for each output connector. There are plenty of USB ports below the screen: two 12W USB-A, two USB-A with 18W fast charging, and two USB Type-C ports with 100W Power Delivery fast charging (suitable for charging laptops and compatible smartphones).

A LiFePO4 battery with a capacity of more than 1024 Wh is installed inside the case. This power plant is capable of supporting loads of up to 1800 watts of continuous power with peak power up to 2700 watts. For this, four 230 V sockets with pure sinusoidal voltage are provided. The DELTA 2 can, for example, boil a 1800W kettle approximately 10 times (assuming each boil takes approximately 3 minutes). Such a power station can provide a refrigerator with work for 6-8 hours, as well as charge mobile devices and laptops repeatedly.

EcoFlow DELTA 2 supports X-Stream fast charging from a regular household outlet with a maximum charging power of 1200W. This allows the battery to be charged up to 80% in approximately 50 minutes and fully charged in 80 minutes. It is worth noting that the active cooling system of the "insides" of the station can be noisy, but the charging power can be limited through a mobile application connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It is also worth noting that additional batteries can be connected: a standard DELTA 2 battery pack can increase the capacity up to 2048 Wh, and a DELTA Max battery pack up to 3040 Wh.
