Built well with couple usability flaws

Built well with couple usability flaws
I am an avid hiker, camper, and wilderness backpacker and also am one of those guys who has a bug-out bag packaged for emergencies. Among the items I keep is a hand-crank AM/FM radio with USB charging. However, charging mobile devices with it is a great test against patience and endurance, especially if you have found yourself in an emergency situation. For that reason, I have invested in good-quality battery chargers and ones with 3-panel solar charging capabilities. I'm unable to provide their names as Amazon blocks my review if I do.There are times, however, where I want to be able to bring the comforts of electricity with me to go camping or picnicking, and when there is an extended power loss in our home. This is when I started looking at portable power generators. At first, I had bought a gas powered one, but I quickly did not appreciate it because of its maintenance requirement (you have to use it from time to time or flush the fuel to keep sediments from destroying the generator), loud noise, and unhealthy fumes. Granted, with an endless supply of fuel, you could generator power virtually forever, but I would rather keep it as a secondary option.Next, I looked into the Goal Zero Yeti 400, a $600 station that delivers 428 watt-hours (Wh) to power lights, a mini fridge to keep cool items our baby would need, and/or necessary, medical devices. It would be quiet and be virtually maintenance free. But the cost quickly made my wife and I balk, and we looked at the less expensive Rockpals 300W.SUMMARYThe Rockpals 300W is an excellent, portable power station that provides a decent amount of battery charge (280 Wh) to last for an overnight camping trip. Its small size, built-in, dual LED lights are nice touches for emergency use. There are some usability issues I did not like, such as having a 10-hour-long automatic shut-off for inactivity (company told me that a version is forthcoming without an auto shut-off), and the product's external packaging design is plain. Nonetheless, this is a product I recommend for the outdoor person and for emergency preparedness.PROS- Fairly priced- At 280 Wh, it has enough capacity for an overnight camping trip- Solar charging capable (MC4 cable included)--- Max 12-24V with no minimum wattage, though I recommend using a panel that's between 30W – 150W at 18V--- I tested solar charging with Rockpals 80W--- On a bright, cloud-free, California fall day, the Rockpals provided 50-65W of charging--- WARNING: Do NOT use a solar panel that provides more than 24V and/or 200W input!- Can power AC and DC at the same time (each port has a maximum, but the AC one can handle a continuous 300W, peaking at 600W)- Can power a multitude of devices: laptop, tablet, phones, lights, fans, CPAP medical device, projector, TV, mini refrigerator, speaker, camera, and DSLR battery charger- Built-in LED lights that use about 3-5W, allowing them to stay on for more than 50 hours! That's an insane 2 days!--- Neither Suaoki nor the Goal Zero provide such a light. Nice touch, Rockpals!- Multiple charging cables included: AC brick, Car charger, MC4 solar charger. The DCs charge the Rockpals through the same "DC 12V-24V" port- Carry handle can be put away when not in use- Charge Times--- Wall charger: 5-6 hours--- 150W solar panel: 3-8 hours, depending on weather conditions. See TIPS section below to calculate solar panel charging time--- Car port: based on estimates, it would take about 8 hours- Multiple output ports--- 1x AC (110V-220V) (300W, peak at 6000W)--- 2x QuickCharge 3.0 USB, 2x USB-A (2.1A)--- 1x cigarette socket (8A, 12V or 24V with proper user)--- 3x DC outlets (max 12V, 4A, 48W)- Manual is sparse but well-written in English- Roughly 65,000 mAh capacity at 3.7V- Built-in Overload, overcharge (automatically stops charging when the device is full), and short-circuit protection- VERY compact at 6.5" x 3" x 7"- VERY portable at 7 lbs- Professional look and sturdy feel, though I prefer the industrial look of Goal Zero's- LCD provides how many TOTAL Watts (AC and DC combined) are provided by the power station--- The number of bars on the battery graphic shows the remaining capacity left. Each bar is 20%- DC, USB, and AC outputs can be individually controlled- Pure Sine Wave output to protect against damage to sensitive electronics- 18 month warranty. Suaoki provides 24 months, Goal Zero is 12 months- Technical support has been quick, and I believe Rockpals is based in CaliforniaCONS- No USB-C- Does not show estimated hours remaining based on current wattage being used- No carry bag included, making it necessary for you to find your own pouch to carry the included charging cables- Battery cannot be replaced once the 500x lifetime charge cycle is over. This is the same for the Suaoki--- Goal Zero's battery is user replaceable- Not waterproof. Keep it away from water splashes, rain, and pool!- Battery slowly drains over time even when station is powered off--- Rockpals states a 2-3 year hold from a full charge before it is completely drained- No master power off button to turn off ALL outputs at the same time--- You have to manually switch off each type: DC, AC, USB--- All 3 must be off before the entire unit itself is turned off--- Suaoki 500W can power off both the DC and AC outputs through a single, master button- Suaoki requires you to hold the DC or AC button for 2 seconds before it turns on/off that output--- This Rockpals does not, and this can lead to accidentally turning on/off the output during transport- No granular message if an error occurs--- If a problem happens, you will see either the AC, DC, or USB text on the LCD blink. This indicates which output has the problem, but you will have no idea what exactly the issue is--- Suaoki provides an error code (such as "E 14", meaning: AC output was overloaded), helping you quickly troubleshoot the issue- Emergency LED lights are a VERY nice touch, but they could be further improved if their mode could also be switched to Blinking and SOS patterns- Cannot be daisy-chained to other Rockpals products to extend the battery capacity--- Some Goal Zero stations can be hooked up to other ones so power can be provided for an even longer time without needing to switch- Product packaging, though well-protected, looks cheap from the exterior with its plain, cardboard design. Based on packaging alone, I would have grabbed either the Suaoki or the Goal ZeroUSAGE- To turn ON or OFF the DC, AC, or USB output, press the "DC", "AC", "USB" button--- Push again to turn off--- Note that this single-press (without hold) can lead to accidentally turning on or off the power station. The Suaoki requires you to push a button for 2 seconds before it would switch the output on or off- To reset an Error condition that's shown on the LCD, turn OFF the respective DC, AC, or USB output, and back onTIPS- To calculate how much Wattage a device uses: Voltage x Amperage--- For example, if a vacuum is 120V and 9.5A, its Wattage is 1,140W (120 x 9.5)--- Since this power station can only accept a peak of 600W and sustained power of 300W, the vacuum cannot be used.--- Note: If a device draws more than 300W for an extended period of time, the power station will shut off as a safety precaution- To calculate how long a device could be used for: 280 Wh x 0.85 / Device Wattage--- About 10-15% of power is lost during power conversion, which is normal for all power stations--- For example, if a device uses 60W, it could last up to about 3.97 hours (280 Wh x 0.85 / 60 W)--- An Amazon TV I have uses about 100W--- If this Rockpals is full at 280 Wh, this would result in about 2.5 hours of continued usage (280 x 0.9 / 100)--- Yes, you CAN watch TV for nearly 3 hours while camping, but please remember what is more important when you go outdoor: enjoy nature with your friends and family!- To calculate how long a device would need to charge: 280 Wh / Device Wattage--- For example, if a device uses 60W, it would take 4.7 hours to charge (280 Wh / 60 W)- To calculate how long the Rockpals 300W would need to charge via solar panel: 300 W / (Panel Wattage x [0.5 or 0.75])--- In a perfect lab environment, solar panels charge at the indicated wattage (ie. 150 W). Outdoors, expect to only receive 50-75% on a good, sunny day (ie. 75 W – 112 W)--- For example, if a solar panel is rated for 100W, it could take as fast as 4 hours [300 W / (100 W x 0.75)] to charge, depending on environmental conditions and the panel's age--- Tip: Even if it is overcast, the panels will STILL collect solar energy. So, keep charging!- Always make sure you test your devices with the power station before you depend on it--- For example, items that may not work include some rice cookers, 12V DC air pumps, coffee makers, and hair dryers. Use the above formula to calculate the device's wattage- Some devices power on at a higher wattage than when they are already on. As a result, the power station may not be able to power it- If using the car charger, make SURE you only charge this station while the car is RUNNING. Otherwise, you'll deplete your car's battery and leave you stranded- If charging with the solar panel, be sure to keep the station out of direct sunlight as it could overheat- You should NOT charge the power station AND use it to power something else at the SAME time as it can damage the battery--- Either charge OR use it to power something else, but not both concurrently--- Rockpals states that charging and using is not a problem, but I lean on the side of caution--- Suaoki advises against charging and using at the same time- NEVER charge the power station itself in below freezing temperatures, or you will damage the Lithium-ion battery AND potentially limit its overall capacity--- However, you CAN use the station to power other devices--- I do not know if it has a low temp charging protection (manual does not state so). The Suaoki 500W does AND starts charging again once the temp goes above 40F--- If you have to use the station in below freezing temperatures, keep the power station in an insulated cooler and connected to a power source (ie. solar panels). The heat generated by the battery will keep it running as best as it can- A solar panel is NOT required to use this power station- Do not use this (or any power station) in a tightly enclosed area as the station can overheat- If charging the station with the car charger, you cannot charge it to 100% capacity with a 12V outlet. If you have a 24V outlet, however, you could- To prolong the battery lifetime while in storage, keep the station fully charged every 3 months--- NOT using the battery for a very long time can actually hurt its lifetime--- There is no "memory effect" in this station's battery--- Note: It is better to NOT let it completely drain before recharging--- According to the seller, the lifetime cycle is 500 times, which is the same for both Goal Zero and Suaoki--- The battery is NOT replaceableFINAL THOUGHTSOverall, I have found this to be an excellent item to have in my camping inventory. It is lightweight, has built-in LED lights, and has a wide array of charging options, including solar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Entry Point for Consumer Solar - Renter Review
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019
This RockPals Solar Generator truly rocks! It's an immediate source of stored, clean solar generated energy. Purchasing the RockPals 100w folding panel to power your system makes this set-up a highly portable and seamlessly, simplistic even, way to power-up on just about any day. In minutes, you'll marvel at your newly acquired technological capabilities.

My Limited Background for Consumer Solar:
I've dabbled in solar for renters with the purchase of an 18w/2USB and 24w/no USB solar panel over the past twelve years. The 24w model purchased about 12 years ago was nearly $300 way back then! (show some respect to the pioneers who shelled out the big bucks that paved the way!). LOL!!

So, the fact that I can purchase a rugged folding 100W RockPals smart solar panel paired with this RockPals Solar Generator with many thoughtful accessories and the versatility / portability to access quick and clean power in both AC / DC formats for about $500 is a fantastic leap forward. BTW, I'm using 'smart' to indicate that this system has a power controller built in that limits power to sensitive electronic devices.

I assembled my new system in all of 10 minutes (a very basic / intuitive hook-up, really) with just a few pieces of wood (a more permanent solution to come) to prop and secure the panel in the direction of the sun. I had the components collecting and charging away in my backyard in two shakes of a lamb's tail; so proud am I!

After just three hours of charge time on a mostly cloudy day, I added approximately 1/3 to the Generator's out of box charge status before the rain finally moved in. No worries for the water resistant panel, but for the unprotected Generator (see photo), I decided to break my system down and stow it away for a better day. While it was still up and running though, I couldn't help myself, I had to pull out my laptop and then my two-way Handi-talk charge cradle (Ham Radio users know what this is). I was so thrilled to discover that I had all the equipment necessary, out of box to charge these two key devices. I've gone ahead and ordered (35qty) DC 5.5x2.5mm female to (many) male charging tips that will complement the 10 DC tips that already came with this RockDog...I mean RockPals set-up (the 10 tips came with the solar panel to be more specific). The Generator comes with the extra adapter cables that an owner needs to deploy any one of the various DC charging tips.

Wow, wow wow!! I sat mesmerized by the blinking / circulating dashes and numbers on the detailed user interface. Because this system conserves on the energy to run itself, they are not easy to see outside in the daylight, I get it. You'll be blown away later when you bring it back indoors and can see every detail clearly. Coolness! I've definitely been bitten by the Solar Bug.

I'm so thankful that we have this incredible opportunity for low-cost, off-grid energy. Inside of the house again, I had two USB LED Light bulbs waiting to be powered up by my Anker power banks (purchased here, previously). I celebrated my greatly expanded solar capabilities by declaring an immediate 'solar day' lighting my entire little apartment (OK, just two rooms...one of these USB light bulbs can light an entire room). I listened to my rechargable smart speakers (one in bedroom; one in bathroom) driven by my rechargeable smart phone and surfed the web on my rechargeable laptop and everything...well almost, was powered by beautiful solar. I still have to convert my router to DC rechargeable. :)

The Rockpals components are very high quality and easy to use. The owner will be proud of his/her purchase, no worries. The materials used are surprisingly sturdy for a really tiny (but mighty) system. The engineers who designed the RockPals 100w Solar Panel appear to have cut no corners. This is a serious and highly portable generator and folding solar panel that will provide many, many years of service if protected and treated well. It's made with rugged materials and well thought out.

If you're thinking about pulling the trigger and adding this equipment to your solar arsenal, I don't think you can find much better in terms of price and quality (value).

Happy Solar!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unit works great for everything, including CPAP/APAP/BIPAP!
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019
See my video for an in-depth explanation of why this unit is great for CPAP users. But the short story is that this unit works great and will last you all night long (and probably for several nights, even with your Humidifier and Heater active) for the vast majority of CPAP users, contrary to what others have said and I explain why in my video.

This unit has it all - Solar charging on the back, built-in AC/DC transformation (no bricks to lug around!), 24v output, 12v Cigarette Lighter output, 2.5mm 12v outputs, USB outputs, and most importantly, a 120v AC output!

The unit is lightweight, small, compact, and easy to manage. Pair it with a Rockpals foldable solar panel and you have unlimited power. This unit can provide up to 70w of power while it's charging - something a lot of the other units are unable to do. This is important in that it will let you continue to use the unit as it's charging, either via solar power, or via a wall outlet. That means you can use this as a battery backup for your CPAP unit without having to pay the high price of a dedicated BBU that your CPAP manufacturer wants to charge. Many other battery units sold here on Amazon won't let you use power while also charging, it's either one or the other. Not this unit! Do both at the same time!

The 24v output is fantastic, and also something that many of the other battery generators don't have - they usually only have 12v and 120v output.

The only con of this unit is the display - it's impossible to see outside during the day. They really need to address this - it's fine when it's dusk or dawn, or if you are inside, but outside with the sun up... forget about it. There's no way to see the display. This is a big oversight in my opinion... but once you get the hang of using it, the display gets a bit less important, so it's not a huge deal, nor does it make the unit unsuitable. Since this unit has so many wins in the pro column, I can overlook the display issue to a degree, since I can't get all the features this unit has on any other unit.

I would definitely buy this unit again, if I needed another one. But it has so much power, I don't see why I need another one!
