ROCKPALS 300W Portable Power Station with 280Wh (78000mAh) Solar Generator Capacity

Kentucky Craig: After recent overnight power failure, I knew I needed something for my CPAP. I tried using this the night it came just to test. Worked great! So nice insurance policy for next brief outage.

Zombilina: I got this to use while camping. I got a cheap 100 watt solar panel to recharge it. I haven’t even had to use the solar panel yet though, this thing is a beast! When camping I mostly only use it to run a string of patio lights for a light source at night and also to charge my phone overnight. Sometimes I accidentally fall asleep while running the patio lights and even still it uses less than half the charge for ~10 hours runtime. The next night I turned the lights off before bed and still charged my phone and ended the camping trip with 35% battery still to spare. I love this so much, it’s one if my favorite splurge camping buys!

Da Lowrider: I have camped in a trailer for several years but I never did get comfortable towing it. Had all the "right" stuff for towing I just never liked doing it. I never hurt the trailer backing etc.

I sold the trailer last summer. I held onto my generators etc from camping with it. I have a 12V RV deep cycle battery that was dedicated to my cpap. I have solar panels etc that will charge it. The dilemma is now when I camp bare bones I still need the cpap and the RV battery is NOT easy to deal with carting it around.

This brings me to Rockpals. I did some research and this was my choice. It arrived four days ago and I hooked it up to my solar panels to see if they would charge it. They did. Simple. I finished charging with AC and have used it to power my Phillips cpap the past three nights, all night. I used a DC adapter that came with my cpap and plugs into a cigar lighter type plug which the Rockpals has. After three full nights the Rockpals remains at 74% charged.

So, think I'm tickled with this little jewel? You bet your boots I am. I don't see how I could have any better result with any other item.

It's small, portable, tell you what it's doing, charging...

YuenXYuenX: A long time ago, I had purchased a Rockpals 500 and had since given it away in favor of larger batteries (1000Wh and recently, 1500Wh). Rockpals has made pretty decent power stations in the past, and I was intrigued to see how the updated version was. I actually wanted a 300Wh one to keep inside my car to power the car freezer whenever the ignition was turned off. Why would I have a freezer/fridge in the car? Grocery shopping. To keep things cool or frozen so I wouldn't have to rush home so quickly. Regardless, your situation probably is different, especially if you live in areas hit by disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, or just plain power outages). I cannot stress how important it is to be prepared for emergencies.

There has been an increase in people taking emergency preparation more seriously.

For this review, I borrowed my youngest brother's Rockpals 300W (2017 model) to compare with what has changed with this year's version. Right off the bat, you can see a significant, visual difference between the two. The older version was boxy and the new one has curves all over the place. The 2020 model also took away one of the more useful features of its older...
