EGO POWER+ Portable Inverter, 400W, Power Inverter Generator, Quiet. Battery and Charger Not Included - PAD5000

if you have EGO batteries this is a must have for emergencies. Put those batteries to use. I tried a 10AH on my standup full size freezer and it worked like a charm. Ran without issue for several hours, at least 5 before I fell alseep so don't know actual run time. Tried it on a bunch of emergency type of items like fans, lamps, TV, all worked without issue. It even has PD USB C to charge pu my laptop and USB for my iphone and ipad. This will come in super handy the next time there's a power outage. Worked with 2.5AH, 5AH, 10AH batteries, what is nice is that the batter meter remains on the whole time it is in use so you can easily check on the status. I have a table top ice maker and having ice during a power outage is awesome, but it will suck your batteries down fast. Would be cool if they could add it to the ego connect app so that you can monitor run time. Its only 400W so don't even try running a space heater, coffee machine, toaster or microwave oven, only small appliance with light loads should be used. For the price its a terrific accessory for EGO batteries that you would not normally use. Don't need to spend the big bucks for the ego fan when you can plug any fan into this guy. The compact size is perfect, I was looing at the other 4bay inverter but its so big, this little guy can be stored just about anywhere. A couple of things that seems odd and I don't like is that you should use it upside down with the batter on top for best cooling but then this puts the light on the ground and useless. The other is that the handle seems to get in the way, unless you fold it down it blocks the outlets and button. For future versions It would be cool if you could piggyback it with another one so that you would run a mini microwave.

This is surprisingly helpful in power outages and recommended if you own Ego batteries already. You can plug an AC power strip into the single outlet then plug in a few smaller loads like LED bulbs, small fans, laptop charger, etc. It powered my 42 inch TV for 90 minutes to watch a movie with a 5ah battery so I could unwind after a day with no power. Additionally the USB A and C connections will charge your smaller electronics so even just that is helpful in a black out. Additionally the integrated LED lights are helpful to (dimly) light up a dark room or probably best for a tent. I do wish the lights had 1 higher level to double the light output but there are reasonable and certainly help in a blackout. I own 2x 5ah and 1x 4ah batteries that I can use with this and overall was surprised at how handy it was to use in a recent power outage in addition to a small generator and medium solar generator I have. I will say that if you do NOT already own Ego batteries, due to the relatively high cost per watt hour of OEM Ego batteries, that you are better off buying a small purpose build solar generator by EcoFlow, Bluetti, Anker or others rather than buying this and an Ego battery as the purpose build all in one solar generators provide a lower cost per watt hour.

This compact inverter is a lifesaver during tailgates or power outages, easily turning any standard EGO battery into a reliable power source for small electronics. The outlets and USB ports run completely stable, letting you safely charge up phones, laptops, or run small fans without any issue. It runs quietly in the background and is tough enough to throw right into a tool bag for job site use.

Does what it needs to do. Will recharge devices and run a small fan on low overnight while camping. Like that batteries can be swapped out easily. Wish it had a higher wattage for something like a coffee percolator but I knew that going in

I have an EGO Snowblower, which works amazingly I have never run out of power since I’ve had it. I recently had our powerlines get taken down by a tree and our power was out for over 24 hours. I couldn’t see spending $7000 for a whole house generator since the only thing I was worried about were my refrigerators. I have a 27 ft.² inch LG refrigerator and figured that this would be the perfect solution to be able to keep my food cold. I plugged my LG refrigerator in and low and behold bam!! it worked like a charm I could still use my ice dispenser and my water dispenser. I’ve had it plugged in for five hours and didn’t have an issue. Is the perfect solution since my batteries sit most of the year doing nothing I love the fact that it has USB charging ports for my phone or my laptop, and an added light, which is pretty bright If you’re looking for an economical solution to run your refrigerator or some lights this is the way to go. You can’t beat the price and EGO it’s a fine product

I use this inverter with EGO 56V batteries for remote work in the yard and while camping, and it’s been very reliable for that kind of portable power. It’s quiet, simple to set up, and provides stable power for things like a laptop, phone chargers, lights, and other small electronics. I’ve been in the EGO ecosystem for over 10 years, and this integrates seamlessly with the same batteries I use across my other tools. Build quality and fit are consistent with the rest of their lineup. One behavior to be aware of is that it appears to automatically shut off after extended periods with little or no load. This helps protect the battery, but it also means very low-draw devices may not stay powered indefinitely without activity. Runtime depends entirely on battery size, and higher loads will drain packs quickly. Also note the inverter does not include a battery or charger. Overall, this is a practical, well-built portable power option for light-to-moderate loads, especially for outdoor use or if you already own EGO batteries.

I have multiple EGO Power tools including a weedwhacker, edger, hedge trimmer and blower so I have 4 batteries and 3 chargers. This inverter kinds rounds up the set allowing me to use the batteries that I already have in case of power cuts (I live in FL). From my last 3 years of using my yard tools, I can say that EGO makes excellent tools. The inverter is just slightly larger than my 4AH EGO batteries. Recommended!

Update: another short coming, after charging it with USB and disconnecting the cable. The device continues to stay on and starts draining the battery. Which means after charging the device with USB you need to then turn it back off. I'm not quite sure how ego is so bad a power management with all these different Nexus devices. I argue that they don't do any real world testing. Original: There's no way to determine the draw on the unit or how much battery life is left. Which means this unit is more of a plug in hope power supply. Because there no way for you to tell how long your device will stay powered on. Even the new ego batteries with the led indicators are horrible for helping you gauge power left as each bar isn't "worth" and equal amount. This unit (Yes I knew it had a time) isn't even Bluetooth capable of using their horrible app they have for the large Nexus. Overall if you're looking for a lightweight alternative to the Nexus, this will lie to use your battery for AC or DC while on the go. But for how long will be anybody's guessing to use it and measure the running time. Update: after thinking about it. For the lack of any kind of decent electronics inside this, a lack of a charger or even USB cable. If this unit was priced at $60 I would say it's worth it. But for 150 it's absolutely not worth it. It's ego just gouging its customers again.
