Cant find a datasheet but it looks like that is a NCM and not a LFP unit. Only 1 year warranty.

I would rather spend more and get a Ecoflow River 2 Max https://www.wootware.co.za/ecoflow-river-2-max-512wh-mobile-power-station.html
Or the River 2 if you don't need the extra capacity: https://www.wootware.co.za/ecoflow-river-2-256wh-mobile-power-station.html

Or perhaps even a Bluetti EB55 https://www.takealot.com/bluetti-portable-power-station-lifepo4-700w-537wh-eb55/PLID92598671

False advertising on their part then.

I'll vouch for this. After 4 hour loadshedding, it still has 75% capacity. Even if I charge my phone as well, I've never seen it below 50%.

It can power my fibre line at 1A + my router at 1.5A + charge my phone reasonably quickly without the unit dying.

I'm fairly impressed. Kinda just plugged it in and forgot about it. Just how it should be. I paid 1399 normal price 6 months ago.

You know what a pain in the ash it is to get Takealot to correct anything on their site? I do....

To get them to update packshots took 10 Takealot geniuses and their systems are so poor... Their support sucks i hate selling to them

I have asked them to correct misleading wording on a listing from a 3rd party multiple times. Their generic response each time was that I should return the product if it did not match the description. I gave up.

Could be correct. It may be Li-Po /LiPo instead of Lifepo4/LFP. Their cell voltage is 3.6v where NCM would normally be 3.7.

I still cant find any info on the expected charge cycles.

I personally handle the Takealot account for my company i have been a selling to them and they sell and as a third party seller and they honestly don't give a damn... You just get passed onto the next person, have to fill in the same stupid forms and it constantly gets rejected or ignored
