BROWEY Portable Power Station 1000W with Built-in Solar Panel, 614WH/192000mAh LiFePO4 Battery Pack, Solar Generator with AC/DC/USB/PD Outputs for Outdoor Camping, RV Travel, Emergency Preparedness

The media could not be loaded. I ordered the Browey Power station because I wanted to be less dependent on fixed campsites or campsites with electricity when camping and to be able to use more energy from environmentally friendly sources at home.The decision to go with the Browey Power station was made for various reasons. On the one hand, with around 600 watts, it offers a sufficiently large amount of stored electricity, on the other hand, it offers a real sine wave inverter, which also makes it possible to safely connect AC devices to the socket without having to worry about damaging the devices. This was important to me, especially in relation to our camper, where it should play an important role. I also find the possibility to charge the power station without an additional solar panel very practical, but also to be able to connect a solar panel in parallel as an option.An additional criterion for the purchase was the higher-quality LiFePO4 battery, which is usually installed in cars rather than power banks.The power station was delivered well and securely packaged.The accessories are supplied in a separate small bag. In addition to the instructions, 10x DC adapters with cables for connecting to the power station, a power supply unit with cable and a cable for charging at the cigarette socket are included.The power station seems very stable and of high quality, so you don't have to worry that the handle or the stand could break off. The points on the device with which you set up the power station are padded with rubber so that the touchdown is cushioned.As a special feature, the Browey Power station offers a permanently installed 30 watt solar panel that can be opened almost steplessly so that at least one half can be optimally aligned to the sun.The easy-to-read, illuminated LCD display shows the charge level in 20% increments, which is quite sufficient. When charging, the bar flashes to show how full the power station is (continuously lit) or how much still needs to be charged (flashing). As soon as the solar panel is opened, the display starts and shows how much solar energy is currently being generated in watts. If you connect an external solar panel in parallel, an additional symbol lights up in the display.If you press the AC or DC button, the respective connections are activated, so that current is not permanently applied to the connections. In the case of the USB ports, only the ports in which a plug is inserted are activated. The display shows which connection types are activated and how high the current total consumption is. When the devices are charged, the display switches off automatically.There are three separate buttons for switching on the display and the two connection types AC and DC. All connections are protected from water/humidity with permanently mounted rubber covers.As connections (DC), there are 1x USB C with up to 65 watts and two USB A with up to 18 watts, as well as the possibility to connect two additional devices via 2 DC outputs. There is an outlet for alternating current (AC).In addition to the two DC outputs, there is also a DC input, which can be used to charge the power station either with the supplied car charger via a cigarette connection, the supplied power pack or an external (not included) solar panel. Charging works in parallel with the permanently installed solar panel, so that when you connect an external solar panel you can also use your own 30 watt panel. All in all, I am very satisfied with BROWEY's C600.

The media could not be loaded. What it claims to be, well built, so far lasted a month of consistent useFirst, a little bit of back story. Actual product review follows after.An intelligent consumer does background research on a product before purchase, particularly when the item is worth more than a typical Americans paycheck. I'm no different, I read reviews and will watch YouTube videos with a questionable amount of views just for some extra opinions about an item. So, when I was trying to find a product that checks all the boxes this one does. I was extremely sceptical about the price, lack of reviews, and the fact that it's nearly impossible to find information about this power station, anywhere on the internet.I spent a good amount of time trying to find the if Award (More on this later) that the page claims it got, as well as trying to find some reputable source saying that the product is what it claims to be. No luck, but as it stands, this is the only battery pack that has an internal solar panel, as well as the ability for both AC and DC power outputs. This form factor of an AIO solar solution was unknown to me before a Army buddy of mine showed me his RENOGY Phoenix Power box. I jumped to buy it for taking with me on field exercises, only to be greatly disappointed learning that its discontinued entirely, and not in stock anywhere. After scouring the internet for any similar product this is the only thing I could find. So I took the jump.BROWEY is a cover name. The company behind this product is Shenzhen Panizhe technology Co, which, as you can likely guess is based out of China. It's also made in China, not that they are trying to hide this. The poorly translated product page and instruction manual is also proof of this. That being said, there is nothing so poorly translated as to be incoherent. This is why finding the iF award might be difficult. Search for ""iF - Portable energy storage power supply - iF Design Award"" or the actual company's name, and you can see the award page.Exposoition over! Let's talk about the product in question.---------------------------------------This thing is a BEAST! Not just the fact that is way heavier than I expected, no doubt because of the 24ah battery it. I have yet to have someone not be shocked by how dense it is when they pick it up. It's construction is completely polymer, but still very rugged. I will update this review if it proves to be less durable than I belive it to be after a month of ownership. Considering its battery capacity though, I think the weight is an extremely reasonable.I've charged my phone for a week straight and only dropped 20% of its capacity. The built in panel has been more than enough to keep up with my usage of it, which has just been charging devices, and powering speakers.It ships with a staggering amount of ways to charge it besides just the solar panel. Included was also a car port charger, a wall charger and 10 different adapters, for what I assume is hooking up external solar panels with the DC - DC cable. All of the cables, as well as the carrying case for them are very sturdy.The only issue I had was the shipping. It was shipped in the product box, making it extremely obvious what it is. Granted, discreet shipping isn't advertised on the page. Typically though, amazon items come in a generic amazon box. I understand the seller is shipping these directly, but I think it would be appreciated by future buyers if it was double boxed in the future! Mine unit arrived undamaged and in decent time. Still, I think packaging could use some work.I also had to request the shipping tracking number from the seller, as it was not provided. Customer service replied with it in a stagger 28 minutes, which I think counts for some massive brownie points. They claim to have 24-hour support for any problems, which I haven't had to use yet, but I fully believe in it after that.I don't understand why this form factor is so rare, but I'm glad the people at Shenzhen tech are producing this, and they've made a happy customer out of me. Hopefully they will work on brand transparency in the future though!
