Portable power station for camping

Wow! I own 6 other Power Stations and finally found one that has all the features I'm looking for. 1. This BULLBAT has a built-in MPPT charging section. Why is this important? You can directly connect 12-30v solar panels to this and you don't need your own MPPT controller as it's built-in. MPPT or Maximum Power Point Tracking allows sources with variable power to maximize energy extraction from your solar panels. This is crucial for solar panels; without it you can lose up to 30% of the panel's maximum wattage output.

It allows triple power inputs with pass-through charging while supplying AC and DC. This is crucial if you want to maximize the total kWhs you can get out of the unit per day. Without pass-through charging, AC would be off when recharging the batteries. So that would mean no AC for 6-10 hours a day! Also, You can turn this 500Wh unit into a 2000-3000Wh unit if you have some 12-24V lead acid batteries laying around. Just don't expect much more than it's rated 500 Watts. https://www.bullbat.net/product/bullbat-pioneer-500-portable-power-station-505wh-500w.html

tested it to 800 Watts before it shut down but it held 600 Watts perfectly. How do you add capacity? Let's say you have a couple of cheap 12V 110Ah Group 27 lead acid Sealed cells laying around in your garage. You can connect them to this unit via the 12V-30V input and now you have 500Wh + about 1kWh x2 for 2.5kWh of total energy all while the AC and DC outputs are on. The max charging input for me hit 229 Watts so that's the limitation on keeping the unit charged.

I tested the 5V USB 3.0 and they will do continuous 3 Amps at 5.16 Volts (over 18 Watts) with zero sagging! This is great for the fastest cell phone charging! See image. The USB-C ports can both output 60 Watts Each and will Charge Apple Macbook Pros. The auto-detect voltages can adjust from 5 to 20 Volts. See the image The USB-C ports are directional so you can use your USB-C MacBook Chargers to boost Charging speeds. I managed a 110W (charger that comes with the UNIT + 60W + 60W for a 229 Watts Total of charging while simultaneously out-putting 400-500 Watts AC.
