Firstly, the output sees a leap to 1500W.
As a result, there are very few items you won’t be able to charge directly.
The new model features UPS IEC62040 power switching for some devices.

One of the issues with many power stations is the noise they produce due to the cooling they require.
The big figures for the power station are the 1070Wh capacity and 1500W output with 3000W surge protection.
Internally, theres also a range of new technologies focused on the safety of the battery and its cells.

This process takes around 20ms, which for most appliances doesnt seem to affect their operation.
Once drained, it was left for a week before being recharged and did so without issue.
An extension cable was used from one of the AC sockets to facilitate enough plugs.
This provided about a 30% charge over a 6-hour period.
The presence of UPS technology is a great feature for any workshop or home prone to power outages.

The design and quality of the power station are among the best available.
If you forget to charge the station overnight, that one-hour charge can be a lifesaver!
Then there are the changes to the design.
The neat flat top with the fold-down handle makes the overall handling of the power station much easier.
However, its a shame there isnt wireless charging built in, as seen with some other power stations.
