But recently, Jackery upgraded the battery in it to a LFP (LiFePO4) battery. So now, all 4 power stations in this video have comparable battery lifespans.

That bell hurt my ear so badly! Love the content but that bell was way too loud!! A quiet bell could have been tolerated.

Got the EcoFlow but the Costco version that comes with Qi2 powerbanks with a cute little dock up top for them. They act as a UPS for my AMD PC ultrawide and speakers. With all three on max blast they drive the powerstation right under 600 watts and it doesn't break a sweat.<br><br>When we lost power I took it to our kitchen and "topped off" our two fridges so they would last the night. Don't think it got to handle a defrost cycle but it was enough to keep the food cold until the lights came back on.

Had to pause the video and check comments. I am listening over speakers, not earbuds. I'm shocked nobody mentioned the audio during editing (does anyone else check the audio prior to upload??) because my ears are almost bleeding from the painful sound effects that don't seem to ever end. I'm hopeful I can simply find someone recapping the video because I can't continue watching if it's going to continue piercing my ears. I love that you did this comparison but omg stahp with the dings/beeps.

It's worth mentioning that Jackery is the only one with the stupid NON-xt60 solar charger port

I bought a Sandberg Survivor Powerbank 8in1 96000mAh and a BougeRV 100W N-Type Fiberglass Foldable Portable Solar Panel to run my compressor mini fridge at a festival for 5 days. Cold beer and no problems the whole trip!
