VTOMAN 3096Wh Portable Power Station Bundle with Extra Battery & 200W Pro Solar Panel Included – Up to 3000W Solar Power Generator for Home Backup, Off-grid, Road Trip, RV, Camping, Emergencies

Perfect for my needs
I’m very very happy with my new VTOMAN Jump 1000 portable power station that I got through Amazon. About 3 years ago, in order to have the ability to recharge cameras, phone and other devices while camping and on the road, I purchased a small Jackery 160 for which I paid approximately $200. So I was paying more than a dollar for each of the 167 Watts of power in that Lithium power pack. I’m very happy with the quality and design of the Jackery. Because I wanted to camp during spring and fall periods where it would be wonderful to use an electric heating pad inside a sleeping bag powered by a portable powerpack, I was looking for a powerpack – powerstation that would be big enough to heat a heating pad for two evenings (approximately 20 hours). So, I would need at least 1000 watts of capacity. If I were to stay loyal to Jackery (and there would be good reasons to do so) I would have to pay about $1100 for a 1000 Watt capacity model. From what I could tell, Jackery is only selling Lithium Ion battery power stations. Lithium is generally preferred because of its higher energy density. But, Lithium batteries can only be recharged a limited number of times before that battery eventually can no longer take and hold a charge. Additionally, Lithium batteries can for various reasons be a potential fire hazard. The battery for my ebike has a lot of warnings. The fire hazard aspect is almost a non issue when using a Lithium Iron or LFP battery.When I saw the Vtoman Jump 1000 power station with 1000 watt capacity, I found the best configuration for my needs. 1. Price: the Voltman was $999 less a $250 dollar sale discount, making for a more than $350 savings on the Jackery of the same capacity which was listed at $1100. More importantly, the Votman is a Lithium Iron battery (an LFP battery). My specific Votman model LFP battery can be recharged more than 3,000 times. Which means if I completely drain and recharged this power pack twice a week, it’s lifespan would be 30 years. My small Jackery, which similar to all Lithium battery, has a limited number of times I could recharge it (I think 500), making it useful for a couple of years. This would depend on the frequency of recharging.Lastly, around that time I was looking to by a larger capacity power station, I also wanted to buy a portable 12 v car battery jumper device, which would have cost me $70 or so. My model of Vtoman has sufficient peak capacity that I can use the supplied 12 volt car jumper cables to jump my car batteries with the Vtoman.I’ve been using my new Vtoman to charge all my electric IT devices, phones, tablets, hand warmers, flashlights, ebike, etc. I also use it in my home to power my heating pad on cool winter nights. While using it to recharge my ebike battery. I was reminded of a very useful smart feature of the Vtoman. My ebike battery should NOT be plugged into a charger for more than 7 hours. I forgot this and used my Vtoman to recharge my ebike battery. The last time I recharged my new ebike battery, I had to schedule my personal affairs to that I would be available to unplug the ebike recharging module from the wall socket. When I woke up in the morning 12-13 hours after I had started recharging, I found that my ebike battery was completely charged and cool to the touch, and that the Vtoman was automatically shut down. So due to the intelligent design of the Vtoman, I avoided damaging my new ebike battery and avoid draining down the powerpack. This power station is large enough that if my have an electrician add a supplementary 3 prong electric plug to my home furnace, whereby I would power it from a supplementary source, I would be able to plug my furnace into this powerpack during power outages during winter months. This is a product that I’ve recommend to friends and I would buy it again. I am not ready to install solar panels on my house, but I’ve very pleased that my Vtoman can charge my ebike making my my ebike a “Solar mobility” platform. In my photos you can see my Vtoman next to my Jackery 160. The foldable solar panel is from a different vendor. The standard connecting power cables that came with the solar panel connects directly into my Vtoman. The Jackery required that I used one of on converting connectors that the solar panel vendor supplied to connect the cable to the Jackery. In order not to misplace that connector, I zip tied it to the Jackery. The only downside that I can see so far is that when using my solar panel to charge my Vtoman is that when the amount of sunlight is low, there seems to be a minimum overhead power requirement of 8-12(??) volts to run the battery management system internal to the Vtoman and to power the LED readouts. This is not an issue in Spring when I have my solar panel fully open outside and my solar panel is bringing in 60- 70 watts of power. But, during the winter months I have been trying to recharge it through my windows, so when the angle is off and I am only getting 10-15 watts of sunlight captured by my panels, I can see the lost due to the overhead requirement.

beautiful design, powerful, large capacity but
When it arrived it didn’t turn on, I don’t live in the US so a return is not viable in my case and I had to fix it with a trusted technician in my city to fix it, the customer service is very polite and friendly but they do take a while to answer your request, despite what happened to me, I do recommend the flashes 1500 because its performance, capacity, beautiful design have been of great help to my needs, the charging speed is crazy even if there was a system to charge the batteries I would do it more slowly on the device, like UPS when it is 100% charged it takes 4 seconds to restore the power again, I leave this for consideration in case you want to use it as a UPS, leaving this aside I highly recommend it since it has a good cost benefit

I purchased the the 1500w solar generator and a 100w solar panel for a great price. I have been looking for a solar generator for a few months before I bought this one. I knew I wanted something at least 1500w and LiFePO4 for batteries. I have heard of fire hazard of the lithium ion batteries and wanted to stay clear of those units and for my needs I wanted 1500w so I could run larger items. We have been using the unit camping with one solar panel and it is great on sunny days but on overcast days it needed a bit more so I purchased a second solar panel and that fixed all my worries with charging. If you want to use the unit while you are charging with solar the second 100w solar panel is a must. During the camping I powered a household bar fridge, charged cellphones, camping fans and few other electronics and it powered them perfectly without any problems. During the first 2 camping trips with only one 100w solar panel I did charge the power station for about 4 hours on an AC outlet more because we had overcast days with less solar energy coming in and I wanted to make sure I would get threw the night with no problems and as I said before the second solar panel fixed the need for AC charging. In the future I want to get the car booster cables and the extra battery as Vtoman has great sales if you keep an eye on things. Owning the solar generator over the last few months has been a game changer for using power around the house and at work too. I work maintenance and I take it to work to run around vacuuming vents with a shop-vac and I run our Makita compressor with no issues for 100% portable air. I was completely amazed that it could run the compressor as my large generator always trips the breaker. This is definitely a generator I would recommend I will continue to find new uses for. If you are seriously considering getting a solar generator, get this one you will not be disappointed and they also have great customer service.

Gran producto, llego a tiempo, no estaba maltratado el empaque, un increíble banco de poder, soporta muchos equipos dispositivos eléctricos, televisiones, celulares, tabletas, etc., recomendado ampliamente.

To begin, this was a life saver over the last week in particular and it surpassed what my intended use was. But having gained some knowledge over the week, I would buy something bigger. Of course that means more expensive.I bought the unit around Xmas 2024 and some ecoworthy solar panels. I had intended to use it to charge phones, tablets, batteries etc and maybe when having a day out in sunnier times.Then in blows the biggest storm we’ve seen in 60 odd years. The aftermath left destruction but worst of all, I had no power or broadband. Initially I didn’t have broadband because the electric in the area was down but as I now have a fibre connection I only needed to power the ONT. The vtoman had no problem powering that and the Amazon eero router. It might seem trivial but it kept me sane as my laptop was fully charged and I could keep in touch with family and watch a bit of YouTube.The next day I used the vtoman to run my microwave to heat porridge. It worked but it is a little under powered. It was a sunny day and I was able to charge the unit with the solar panels for about 3 hours. That’s when I realised the first potential issue under these conditions. The units max input is 90 watts. I actually ended up connecting it to the 12v cigarette socket in the car and went for a drive! That was giving me a charge rate of 88 watts fairly continuously. Even so, my days charge was now only at 81%. It was getting cold and with no power for the heating I wondered if it could power the oil burner and the water pump. Both items running required 203 watts and with ⁸¹% charge the unit indicated the run time would be just over an hour. I was so glad of that heat though. Now the battery is exhausted and it’s going to take 4 or 5 hours to recharge.Great little unit, was easy to use and it surpassed my expectations but I wish I’d bought something bigger and the reality is, I’ll probably need a small petrol generator to recharge it, especially in winter. Im glad I bought it, but know your use case and plan how you will recharge it.
