DP1000iL - 1000W | 2048wh Portable Power Station

DP1000iL - 1000W | 2048wh Portable Power Station Portable Power Stations 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter, 2000W Surge. 2048Wh, LiFePO4 Lithium Battery (2500+ cycles). This portable power station features one of the largest capacity batteries on the market plus a 1000w inverter capable of powering...

this has lots of capacity but I dont see any mention of the warranty period.

Hi - just came across this.

EcoHub is my company.

The DP1000il is new on the market, but sold quite alot of them and getting lots of positive feedback.
They come with a 1 year manufacturers warranty.

The main advantage with the DP1000il is the battery capacity. It is 2048WH - which is significantly larger than similar backup power solutions.

Most suppliers tout the wattage of the inverter. I have found that in general, the shortcoming of these backup power solutions is the battery capacity.

Could you not rename your product to something like AC power bank? Because as you know power stations generate power by converting from non electrical sources such as solar, combustion of coal, etc to electricity.

This looks like another excellent option in the 500Wh range:


GENKI – Portable Solar Inverter 500W/515WH – GK-500 : R7000+

Good description & FAQ here:

What's interesting is this:
Automotive Grade Cell: 21700 cell usually used for electric car, its energy density is 20% higher than traditional 18650 cell and can reduce 10% battery weight.

The Genki portable power stations range includes a 300Wh, 500Wh, and 1000Wh unit.

For R12000 the 1000Wh looks like value compared to similar sized units.

The next generation of energy storage: sodium-ion battery
Bluetti has announced the world’s first sodium-ion solar generator, the NA300, and its compatible battery pack, the B480. The NA300 and B480 seamlessly inherit all the style and appearance settings of their predecessor, the EP500 Pro, including four plugs and one output port driven by the built-in 3,000-watt wave inverter to power most household electrical appliances.

The NA300 may just be the fastest-charging solar generator, since it can be recharged from 0% to 80% in a half-hour. It supports up to two B480 battery modules for a whopping total capacity of 12,600Wh. This means the unit can supply a family’s electricity needs for several days, or even a week, during a power outage when recharged by solar panels.

It does have USB-C - it says "PD" - that's a USB C only standard I think.

Yes you are right it seems regarding it having a Type C port.

And from the schematic drawing it seems different to the other USB ports etc.

what do you guys think?

Any good deals currently? Would like charging pass through so it can act as a UPS and be left in one location.

Mainly router, ap's, switch, ONT, laptops.

BUT that being said I like the idea of portability for camping etc so I'm leaning towards the EcoFlow River Pro as:

a) You can add a second battery for another 750w @ +- R5000
b) It's portable
c) it has X-Boost which means you can run up to 1800w devices throttled down to 600w - if they're happy to do so (think things with elements that will just heat slower, but still run).
d) it recharges to 80% in an hour (so it's good for anti loadshedding and quick recharge times)

Doesn't mention a recharge time. And tbh, if you have at least 3 slots a day, it may not get enough juice back in when the power is on before the next slot kicks in.

Sure - but stage 4 means my laptop/s are going to get low / rack up needless power cycles. Which is a pain in itself

Those are rad, the future of things. They are huge in the States, power anywhere anytime, small with amazing runtime.

Then get one of the Ecoflow units. I don't think you'd have to buy the Delta. You could probably get away with one of the River units. Not sure how quickly you can recharge one of those though. I own the Delta and it's honestly been a life saver in regards to my work.

Turns out the River units also have fast charge.
