Portable Power Station with AC Outlet 120V, 24000mAh Laptop Charger Bank

My Powkey portable power station does exactly what I want it to do --- charge small devices when I don’t have easy access to an electrical outlet. The other power banks I own will only charge computers or other digital devices through USB, lightning or other digital ports. I bought this for the wall socket-style AC outlet that lets me charge a wide range of small gadgets. But it also offers two USB charging ports and a DC 12 port (one of those small, cylindrical jacks common on small electrical devices.) It’s very compact, somewhat larger than a typical paperback book. The Surface tablet that’s charging in this photo is smaller than an iPad, so the Powkey (which is closer to the camera) looks artificially large in the picture. The instructions that come with it aren’t great, but the operation is so intuitive that you really don’t need them. The main thing to remember is that this is only for small devices – under 65 watts. It will charge a tablet or small laptop. You can’t use it for a space heater. Your devices will obviously charge much more quickly if they have battery storage and you charge them when they are turned off. I can charge a small Surface tablet in a little over an hour and still have about 20% of the power station’s power remaining. It’s easy to see how well it's charging. A display on the front of the power station clearly shows how much power you have left. A side panel contains all the ports and two important buttons. The round button turns on the power station. A white switch must be shifted to “on” to charge your device. Turn this switch off when you are done to avoid draining the power station. It holds a charge really well in the “off” position. I didn’t use my power station for more than a week and it stayed fully charged. In addition to charging your power station from a wall charger, you can charge it from your car using the included “cigarette lighter” plug. That plug also has an adaptor to convert it to 12 V power. When I tried the car charger, the power station went from 10% to nearly full in about 3.5 hours of on-and-off driving. It seemed to charge more slowly the first two hours and very quickly toward the end. The main reason I bought this was to power a cat cam in an outbuilding that has zero Internet. This particular minicam does not use batteries. With the minicam plugged into the power station, I left the camera running on motion detection for 12 hours with a rather active cat. It used about 40% of the power station’s power in that time (it was not transmitting, just recording to a micro SD card). I highly recommend this for emergency lights or for situations where you need to temporarily plug in a small device in an area without an outlet.

Overall very pleased with this smaller unit. Solar charging works, charging from ac was fast. Pleased with this and will be using in the future.

I ended up getting the neon green one, as opposed to the red and black one that I originally wanted because the green one was on sale, but ended up loving the bright green. Feels like a fun toy hanging around my house lol! I got this orignally to see if it might top off my ebike when out in the field and just might need that extra tiny bit to get me home. Come to find out it will actually work with a 2 amp charger. But not with my fast charger. No prob. I also ended up getting a dual batery ebike, and doubt will ever have that problem again, but the charger still lives with me and would easily come in handy if I ever did need it for that reason. All of that being said, this is a super handy charger, primarily due to the hosuehold AC outlet! Most chargers only have usb outputs, and its amazing how much handier having a proper AC OUTLET can be for dang near everything! Yes other power stations exist with AC outlets but they're usually at LEAST a hundred dollars more. So yes this is easily one of the best bangs for your buck for charging multiple devices, and being super handy in it's versatility. Also it isn't too huge or heavy, however I wouldn't bring it around with me as a portable edc phone charger necessarily, due to it's size, But I doubt that was it's intended purpose. This is more of a mini power station that costs as much as an average edc phone charger lol! So you could go to the park or camping and charge a multitude of things simultaneously. Oh ya, I also wouldn';t use this to run a blender or a drill haha, but again, that wasn't it's purpose. However, i don't doubt you could power a few smaller electronics for a little while. This is meant to be a super versatile, multi outlet charger, and that's how I use it and it fits the bill to a T!

Had high hopes for it. It does indeed store power for a few hours. The solar panel works well but the LCD on the battery bank goes wonky after a while. Flip it vertical it says 30% horizontal will show 80%. After a while it cannot even tell you how many volts it’s taking in. This makes it hard to gauge. The ideas there just needs a little work to be durable and reliable. Edit: it just gets worse as it goes. As soon as I flip it on the power starts to dump. Not holding charge anymore. Won’t take solar charge needs the wall plug. If I could drop the star rating to no stars I would. Very overpriced for the extremely low performance. If it was years old I’d understand. This thing barely passed the return window. Buyer beware.

Works really well with the solar panel it comes with, also easy to switch the battery over to a more powerful panel. Decent size to haul around, especially with how much it can hold. Only drawback is it doesn't have a USB C port on the battery itself, the solar panel does have one.

Love love love this! It’s a lil bigger than I thought it would be but it’s perfect! It’s about the size of a box of Kleenex.

Takes a while to charge plugged in. Worked for its purpose during a recent 8 hrs power outage. Used it to charge phones and have a standing fan on.

Yes, it is a Li battery but I would have thought that it would be equipped with a USB C port...No. It also does not include any connecting cables for use with devices for charging, especially since most everything is USB C these days. Also the manual is clearly for an earlier version. The bright spot is the digital meter for state of charge.

Talk about packing a punch for the buck! First impressions were it is quite an odd color ( not a fan ) but that would have to be tbe ONLY negative part of this review. I received it very well packaged, internally..extremely well protected, it came fully charged ( thank you, as i needed to get out here to camp), I, being from Southwestern, Ontario; Canada, I spend 90% of my time at my deep woods off-grid campsite building my log cabin single handedly, and upon having my mini chainsaw battery die, this li'l bad boy jacked it into life within 15 minutes. Id watched 2 movies from my projector in my 16' Vevor Bell Tent as it's been raining for 2 days now, I've charged both cell phones, charged my 3 Irish Wolfhound's dogs 🐕 glowing collars, had my fan running along with my portable fridge going for 3 days and to just awoken to looking over and this beast is STILL sitting at 82%!!! REALLY? That is what I call a small but extremely mighty power horse! I'd planned on purchasing the eco3 unit, but decided on this as my son is looking into a smaller unit as such. I'd bought this for him intentionally... but now ill order 2 more ( 1 for each of my children ). I'm a happy camper 😆

My daughter used it to keep her Laptop charged at University. She said it was good but unfortunately she slipped and fell on it when it was in her backpack so she can't see the charge on it anymore.

Super pratique l’autonomie est satisfaisante pour le prix !

This product is great - it meets many of my expectations. Having the AC outlet is phenomenal for travel and successfully ran a CPAP through the night while a friend went camping. Good product :) Initially my product did not come with the AC wall adapter which was frustrating. Customer service was difficult to connect with initially, but once I connected with them, my problem was resolved swiftly and professionally. This is why I took a "star" off of my rating as I feel the company should be more accessible and the support links through Amazon should be working.

Hoping this would provide power in the field for my studies. But unit easily switches on in backpacks and duffles. Has never really worked in the field. Always depleted when needed. I like the colour though! And works when I test at home. Even taking the on off switch didn’t work. Because there are 2 on off switches!!
