Allpowers 500W portable power station (S500 AP-SS-007) 606Wh & Allpowers 100W solar panel (AP-SP-027) review.
The Allpowers 500W power station has a big 606Wh battery but it is one of the lightest and most compact units I’ve tested in this category. And it has a couple of features that make it stand out amongst similar offerings from other companies.
I’ll also be looking at the accompanying Allpowers 100W solar panel that turns the unit into a portable solar generator.
These power stations are perfect for power cuts, camping, travel, festivals; and around the house and out and about to charge all your tech.
