Portable Power Station 200W, FF Flashfish 40800mAh Backup Power Battery Pack With 110V AC Outlets/2 DC Ports/3 USB Ports, Solar Generator Power Supply For Home Backup, Power Outages, and Camping

I was supprised with how small this battery is. The whole thing is less than the size of a shoe box and comes with several accessories including a USB light, a way to charge via wall outlet (AC) and a way to charge via car (12v DC). It doesn't have a built in DC/cigarette lighter style outlet for 12v appliances but it does have an adapter which you could then plug a splitter into it. It came fully charged which was a nice touch. The instruction manual says it will hold a full charge for about 3months. Recharging does take a long time (all night when plugged into the wall. Probably longer if plugged into a solar panel or car) It has a helpful built in display which shows battery life. There are 5bars and each bar represents approximately 20% battery life. So you can really know how much you have left. Everybody always wants to know what real world battery life will be so I ran some tests. My purpose for this was not to use with solar panels, but just to keep charged in case of power outages, I would be able to charge my phone, maybe watch a movie on my iPad, and most importantly to run a fan so I don't die of heat. Test 1: ran a big box fan on high, phone charging, iPad charging, USB light. Battery life was about 100min Test 2: medium size table fan plus phone charging. Battery life was about 3hrs Test 3: ran only a DC fan (the kind you see on school buses and mail jeeps) it was powerful enough to really blow but just sipped power. This ran on high for 12hrs and still had over 20% battery left. Test 4: just for kicks, I tried plugging it into a fridge (both full size and dorm size). Unfortunately, the surge was too much and it couldn't run it at all. This was about what I expected. Overall, I'm very happy with this product, especially for the price. I wasn't able to find anything bigger that didn't jump tremendously in price

Works great for brief power outages and vendor events

This seems to be well-built, and very portable. It's actually kind of cute! I am revising my review because I thought the the USB ports didn't work, but after hearing from the company (and great customer service by the way), I learned that you have to push the DC button to get the USB ports to work. I was then able to test it by charging my phone and my iPad, and it didn't drain the battery. It takes some time, but that's fine if it works and will give me a charge in an emergency. It's not powerful enough to charge my laptop, (it used up the battery quickly without giving it much of a charge, but it worked on a lamp and didn't use much of the battery. So, I'm happy with it now and will keep it. I like knowing that I have a backup if necessary. My only disappointment is that I thought that the solar charge was built in, but it's an add-on for another $100.

I bought two of these thinking they would run my house in an emergency. One of them run a light for about three hours and it was able to charge cell phones. But it run out of energy within two hours. The other one only thing it would charge his cell phones or Camping fans. You couldn’t plug anything into it without it, shutting down. Total waste of money. At first, I only used it when the lights went out for a couple hours the first one. So I thought it just worked great. But when you get into a bind and your electrics out more than 12 hours. These aren’t worth a crap I wasted a lot of money and buying two of these.

I’ve had the Flash Fish power pack since the end of 2020. I’ve used it to power a small vintage sewing machine in my car while my son was fishing or working. It was great! Lately I’ve been using it to occasionally power my CPAP for very short periods of time. (I don’t have cell service at home and the machine has to send data to its provider so I take it for a ride to get cell service.) But when I got it out during a power outage to actually use to run my CPAP all night, it was dead. It had totally drained from 90% in a week just sitting in its box. And it’s not recharging above 1 bar. Now, I’m trying to decide whether to get the same unit again.

I just received this Power Station today. I am very grateful that it came quickly, since we are having some severe weather here in Georgia. I actually bought two of these and they arrived fully charged. The last time we had a power outage here was when the Tropical Storm blew through and we were without power for days. My mother has an hospital bed and this was one important reason I bought the power station. I have tested on her bed and it did beautifully and didn't zap any power. I've tested on a small rotating fan and it did great. I plan on also using it on our tablets and phones. The second one will be used on our wifi router, so we hopefully will have internet in a power outage. It get's boring stuck and home with no lighting or internet, so hopefully we will wont have to go through that again. It will not operate a Keurig machine, so if you want one for that you'll have to get one more powerful. We can use our gas stove for coffee, so it was a deal breaker for us.

I purchased this product in November 2023 and have not had one issue. I have used it in different situations. I mostly keep it next to me if I have multiple devices at once. Sometimes while playing video games I need to charge my laptop, phone, tablets, and flashlights. I am to lazy to look for outlets so I just plug into this thing and it does the charging it is awesome. If I hear a storm is coming I always make sure it is in charge in case I have to charge something. For the price I paid (it was on sale for like 80.00) totally worth it. I am getting into car camping and I am positive it will definitely come in handy. When this one dies out I will definitely get a larger one. But overall this has been a great product. I highly recommend.
