Portable Inverter, 150W, Power Inverter Generator, Quiet, Battery and Charger Not Included - PAD1500

I live in the Bay Area and the power outages are becoming regular occurrence. So i bought this and it has been incredibly useful during this most recent and ongoing outage. It is pure sine wave so it powers my sony 50" tv, and anything else 150 watts and below. Not sure why someone described it as glorified laptop powering station. I would highly recommend this for anyone with existing Ego batteries. The price is not unreasonable, particularly since the inferior Ryobi 40 volt system inverter is the same price. With a little more usage of the device, I should point out that I was not able to power up my Sony 50 inch TV with the 2.5 amp battery. The 5.0 worked well. I believe you will find all these specs in the description of the product. A smaller TV might be OK with 2.5 amps. The fast charger requires wattage of 550 which will require a generator or powerful car inverter. the slower charger is 155 watts, which worked with my Bestek 500 watt inverter with a bunch of things running on it. The one small detractor is it doesn't seem to turn itself completely off when not used. There is an easy on off switch, but if you just unplug something and let is sit there, I think the battery drains a bit. There is only AC plug. The two USB outlets you could do without given all the options that exist to charge your phone or iPad I just bought another one. You can't match the portability and its fine for most indoor stuff you'll need to keep running during a power outage under 24 hours. Beyond that, this won't run important stuff like a microwave, etc. But you can plug in your modem/router, cable box, and TV since it puts out a pure (as opposed to modified) sine wave. And a table lamp on top of that. just need to split the one AC plug on it.

Coupled with the right size battery like he BA2800 (warning: these batteries are expensive). the Nexus Escape allows 150 watt output. I tried it using a 60 watt LED light (equivalent 8.5 watt) with the BA1400 battery which lasted just shy of 5 hours. Using the BA2800 battery, light kept shining past 13 hours before I quit so I do not know how long battery would last. But the portability is great to the point I bought another one. Yes, it has shortcoming a a limit of 150 watt output uses the modified square sine wave. Reason this latter is important is due to cpap and bipap users. Makers do not suggest an inverter because sine waves are not controlled well. However, I plan on trying to see if I can get thru one night on the battery. Would make me feel a lot better if it lasted and since CO would not be an issue, it would also make me feel safer. EGO: - you have a good thing here but some improvements would be helpful 1. increase output to 300 to 500 watt.. Much more and batteries would drain too fast 2. add a DC port. Most cpap machines have a cigarette connection allowing sine waves to be steadier. A plus doe cpap and bipap users. 3. um Can't think of anything else.

I purchased this a couple months ago because I was looking for a power supply for some upcoming camping trips. There's lots of options available, even cheaper options, but I figured I already have the batteries why not make the investment. I'm so glad I did. So far this thing has performed wonderfully. It blows up air mattresses and charges phones like it nobodies business. In fact, I packed all four of my batteries and only ended up going through one 5 Ah battery through 2 days. I think my next purchase will be a small fan that will be powered by this power supply. I've even found myself using it around the yard for small jobs where I didn't want to mess with an extension cord. 2 months in, no issues here. I recommend it!

This is a review of the 150w model. The size is great. Fits in my glovebox or under the seat. Even without a snap to lock the battery in place, it never fell out when carrying it. Everyone else was impressed by the size, and usability. Power output of this square wave inverter will cause several brands of LED's to buzz and be dimmer than expected. My 2* 100w (15w) LED's (the picture that shows as 30w consumed when plugged into regular wall power) will only work at half capacity, ~60w (6w), (the picture which shows 12w consumed when plugged into regular wall power) etc. Also, I noticed the power meter couldn't tell the frequency of the output, just stating DC instead of the usual 59.9 hertz) For many folks this might be a downside. For my purpose as a camping power source to replace gas lamps and flashlights with something brighter but not too bright, it worked great. The half power LED actually doubled the battery life I calculated. Same as if the LED's had dimmers on them, or using lower rated bulbs. It remains to be seen if the power problem equals drastically shorter life of the LED's though. Also, because the LED's took less power, We were able to power speakers and phone chargers all at the same time from a power strip. It powers air mattress inflator/deflators just fine, you can hear the motor is a bit slower, but nobody really noticed the time difference. The iPhone fast charger using the 20w usb c adapter was noticeably slower, but still better than regular usb speed. There is no remaining capacity indicator on the device. It would be much better with a minutes runtime remaining, that almost all UPS battery backups have. The green light is good on my EGO's for about 5% - 100% of the battery. The 5 led EGO battery gauge on some batteries is not reliable for predicting time increments. It took 3 hours for the first led to go out, and 30 minutes for the second led, 1 hour for the 3rd led, etc. Same load constant. In all it was a good purchase for my use case, but misleading advertising to not place disclaimers on the box about what it's not going to work with. I expect many unhappy customers expecting it to be the same as a generator, or pure sine wave UPS's.

Used this to watch tv out by our fire pit that has no outlets. Lasted about 3 hours on a 2.5 battery.

Took camping and was great to charge devices for everyone. Also very useful when the power went out and our electric recliner needed to be closed…just plug in and works great!

Module fonctionnel en camping quant il y'a panne électrique .

En cas de panne électrique pour le foyer au bois l'hiver. Chauffer pulsation d'air chaud dans la maisons et un éclairage au Obled le soir.
