Portable Power Stations

If you download the electronic letter of authority on the site, and look at the accepted variations model numbers, it definitely seems to be a rebranded OUKITEL P2001e. So I think it's a really good deal, might even buy one myself..

The Gizzu Hero Pro 2400W seems to be branded as FOSSiBOT F2400 if anyone wants to check for reviews on that unit.
 
Got the Geewizz 2000w power station on Friday. Its really good. Just a bit heavy. Can anyone suggest a mini trolley with wheels for it?

You could easily build a small trolley with wheels from Builders, but I would rather carry it, as the vibrations on a trolley whilst moving would probably not be good for the UPS

Hello. Thanks. I am considering the Singo 600 to power my TV & HiFi stack during up to 4h of loadshedding.
One of my requirements in this application is clean power delivery. I do not want 50Hz hum (interference) on the sound system while the power station is recharging (like I get with the EcoFlow River 2 Max - rendering it useless for a HiFi stack).
I need fast switch-over from mains to battery and back. The amp must not switch off in the process.
I need quiet cooling fans, thermo controlled, so they switch off when not needed.

Does the Singo 600 use pass-by or pass-through UPS mode?
Have you evaluated the Singo 600 in such an application?

I doubt that you'll find someone with a Singo unit.

HOBOTEC (youtuber) does amp interference tests on his newer reviews. So far I haven't seen many pass this test. The only one that I am aware of was the Delta 2 Max.

Edit: it looks like the OUKITEL P2001e may be also branded as ffpower overseas. It did well on the amp interference test :

I got the Geewiz P2001, which is identical to the one in the youtube video.
Very happy with it. I did a full discharge test and got 1740Wh out of mine.

Nope. It would be a return of one power station and purchase of the Singo 600 instead.
But I am running the Bluetti on the TV & HiFi stack now.

I have decided to settle for the Bluetti. Not interested in trying out and returning power stations repeatedly when the Bluetti already provides quiet power with a small caveat. As long as I do not charge it while watching TV (when the fan is too noisy - it does not cause a transformer hum or ground loop like the EcoFlow does). The small caveat is a slight inconvenience in that I manually need to switch the TV & HiFi stack to the Bluetti when load shedding happens to hit while I use the stack, which is not often. Otherwise, I run the stack off the normal mains. Small price to pay for quiet backup power during load shedding. I charge the Bluetti overnight if I have used it during a particular day. My main amplifier is a Class 1 device, which uses an earth pin plug. The power station must handle this earth circuit properly, or the amp will hum.

Here is a question about floating ground on portable power stations: If I plug a Class 1 device (such as my Cambridge Audio CXA60 amplifier) into my portable power station, which is not connected to DB earth, should I use a neutral-ground bonding plug in the second outlet of the power station? If so, why isn't this clearly stipulated for such power stations, and where does one get such a bonding plug for South African outlets?

Could we use this plug for the mini ups ? Mine is plugged in the whole time to power the router and ONT which may not be good for the lithium battery life Im not sure how one would connect this
 
Would anyone recommend this for a monitor? I see the price has come down a lot and Incredible Connection are also selling it at the same price. Any advice is appreciated Screenshot 2023-09-08 at 8.42.34 AM.pngor?

Its the older Lithium batteries with only 500 charge cycles... so if you going to use it daily wont last you very long.
It also doesnt appear to have any UPS functionality if thats a consideration?
