MAXOAK Generator Portable Power Station 200Wh Lithium Emergency Battery Backup Pure Sinewave 110V AC Outlet Solar Generator for Outdoor Camping Travel Fishing Hunting(w/AC, DC12V, QC3.0, USB-C)

I have been using this power bank for a couple weeks now and it is excellent for travel and as a backup power source at home. To start, it was packaged well. When I received the unit, the box was damaged in shipment. However, the unit itself was well insulated and did not sustain any damage. The unit also has a sturdy feel, at about 7.5 pounds. It has a sleek case with a nice carry handle. I like the look and feel of it and it isn't bulky, it will store and travel well.The unit is pretty intuitive to use, but the included directions are helpful. I have purchased other power banks and the included instructions are not enough to get you started. It can be charged at a wall outlet, through car lighter, and solar. I have not had the opportunity to charge using solar or the car, but, will be looking into it for extended camping trips. The unit begins charging automatically when plugged into a wall outlet, and it takes about 6.5-7 hours to fully recharge from "empty". It makes no noise, and doesn't heat up during use/charging.The indicator lights are a nice approximation of how much of a charge is remaining. The battery indicator is lit up in 5 sections, each section representing about 20% of the battery life. So far I have used it to charge an Apple and Android phone, tablet, laptop and run my CPAP machine - all worked great. I have a Philips Dreamstation CPAP and at full power with humidifier on, it used 3 bars of the battery life at 8 hours of use (about 70-80%). With the humidifier turned off, my CPAP used 2 bars (about 30%) battery power per 8 hour night of use. I was able to use the battery for three consecutive nights before the display showed only one bar remaining and needing a recharge. I charged my iPhone from empty 3 times and my laptop once and still had plenty of charge left.Another nice feature is that during use, the lighted display will turn off after a few minutes. The display is still "on", but the back light turns off.I also used the unit to charge my cell phone while it was being charged. This "pass through" feature will come in handy when convenient wall outlets are hard to find during travel, or when trying to use my CPAP when power is intermittent during the summer storm season here.The only negative, and it's more of a personal preference really, I'd like to see a numerical display of the percentage of power stored rather than the battery image indicator. That would give a better indication of when the unit needs recharging versus an estimate based on how many bars remain.Overall though, I would recommend this portable power unit. It will work great as a back up power source for home use, as well as use in travel and camping!

The media could not be loaded.  I go camping at least once a month and need a Cpap and I have previously used the poweroak 400 to run my Cpap so you can imagine how excited I was when this battery came out. I went from a 14lb battery to half that at 7lbs and at least half the size. I was very surprised to see that the maxoak ran my Cpap for 2 nights and also charged my IphoneX 3 times before it was dead. This is going to be my new camping battery for sure. I was easily able to get my solar panel connected and charging the max oak. It only took about 7 hours on a bright day to charge the maxoak fully with the solar panels I have and only about 5 hours with the included wall adapter. I have not tried the a/c port yet so not sure how long it will run on a/cLikes - nice small size with allot of power to run my devises for a couple days. strong sturdy build with a strong handle on top. Display is nice and bright for night time viewing.dislikes - buttons are hard to read in the dark. (going to put a white label to make it easier to read). I wish it came with the solar cable. Not as many usb ports as my poweroak had. While it does come with the cigarette adapter, i wish it was built in like on my power oak but i guess i would rather have the battery power than the plug built in.This is definitely going to be my new camping battery for sure. love the small size and lighter weight and how long it lasts. great battery for my needs and easily charged from my solar panels when i am camping. I imagine I can go camping even longer if I bring my solar panels with me also. very happy with it.The solar panel I am using is the Poweradd 60W Solar Charger (5V USB + 18V DC) Portable Foldable Solar Panel that i got on amazon. This solar panel is great because it comes with all the different size adapters to fit all kinds of different applications.

This is my second charging station from MAXOAK. I've been a longtime user of a 400Wh setup which has travelled extensively with me on extended fishing trips and replaced the 12V battery / inverter / cables system i had which was cumbersome. And small charging packs are ubiquitous. This new model seems to bridge the gap between the two in a nice, compact, much lighter package. Easy to operate, clear charge indicator and the usual MAXOAK system for switching on the DC and AC outputs from the in-built inverter. This is the big plus over the small charging packs and is sufficient for an overnight trip plugged into several high-load devices. So this has now travelled with me quite a bit, run laptops, lights, phones, hotspots, sometimes simultaneously and without fault. The only thing i usually have to remember is to lay it on its side if it is not in a bag - the small suitcase-like shape which is a little vulnerable to tipping over is the only reason i would mark down one star for sturdiness. Beautifully made, I don't want to damage it. Overall, an excellent product.
