Hello, This is the San Fu Portable Outdoor Power station. Uh, 600 watt model. This unit is 160 amp hours and it's also uh, 576 Watt hours. So I think we can work out the volts from that 576 divided by 160 is ah okay.

3.6 So I'm guessing this is Lithium Nickel manganese. Cobalt Let's switch it on actually. First, I'll peel this cover off, peel this cover off, and then to switch the unit on, press and hold the on off switch and there it is. Oh yes, now that's not flickering in real life.

Actually looks pretty good in real life. I've brought it inside and as you can see, it looks fine. Now one of the things that interested me about this unit is that let's turn on. For example, the 12 volt DC is this.

There's an indicator for voltage and actually it shows all sorts of interesting things. If I turn on the AC outlet, you can see 220 volts and if I turn off and back on the DC it shows 12.6 volts and it also shows some interesting voltages when you're using USB type C. So here is the San Fu website. uh, Sanfropower.com and you can see under products that they do: solar panels, solar generator kits, and portable power stations.

And this is the 600 watt 576 watt hour power station that I'm looking at today. Accessories supplied nice and simple. This there's a Mains power pack and a user guide. Mains pack is 98 Watts So to charge 576 Watt hours, it's going to take about six hours.

Okay, let's test the AC output quite sensibly. The outlets are mounted upside down so that the wire comes upwards. Switch the unit on and turn on the AC Now can it run my new ice making machine? Um, this is only 150 watts, But it does take a monster surge when the compressor comes on. so let's check that out.

Well, that's definitely making ice. So the compressor must be running and in fact, this is taking less power than I thought it would. Uh, 87 Watts And there's the voltage indicator: 220 volts. My ice is ready.

This is the fun bit ice cubes delivered into the basket. Let's try something a bit heavier duty this oil filled radiator. So I'll switch on the 400 watt fan first. That's come on, it's down there and the fans on the San Fu have powered up.

I Think that's where it blows out. Yes, it does, and we've got 400 Watts approximately there and it seems quite happy handling that. Let's switch that off and turn on the 800 watt oil filled radiator. It says 800 watts, but it's now shut off, so certainly the cutout works.

If you exceed the 600 watt rating, let's have a look at the 12 volt output and I'm having to charge my phone because it's low on power. To switch on the 12 volt output single press and you can see that 12.6 volts is indicated on the voltage display. To switch it off, press and hold the 12 volt output would typically be used for lights or possibly air pumps for inflating Inflatables But let's check the current on the 12 volts. I'll switch it on.

It says 12.6 here. let's wind the current up and see what we can get it to. Oh, five amps Oh 8 amps, 10 amps I'm Oh I think it cut out, possibly at 11 or 12 amps. Certainly, there's no 3 amp current limit on here.

Let's try it again. Yeah, that's holding a sustained 5 amps. Let's just push it up again. Not sure that cable is good for these high currents, but 11 Yes, I Think the 12 volt output is good for at least 10 amps.

Things get interesting when you use USB Type-c particularly the PD 100 watt output, which is also an input. Um, my phone for example, is plugged into the phone that I'm actually using to shoot this. can't decide whether it wants 5 volts or 9 volts. So at the moment, 5 volts 1.1 amps so that's 5.9 Watts This RAV Power Power Bank is charging and you can see that it's requested 20 volts and it's pulling 30 Watts so we can work out immediately.

That's 1.5 amps and in fact, you can see that on the Ruidang Meter. But by pressing and holding the button on this RAV Power Power Bank I can actually get it to change direction and now we can see that it's 20 volts. I've got the In symbol on here and it's actually gone up to 56 Watts Because this power bank can put out 60 watts and it can take in power at 30. Watts Let's just check the Ruidang of course that's being driven backwards so we're not getting an amp or what figure, but it's definitely 20 volts.

This Chromebook laptop tablet thing is drawing a 19 Watts or 20 watts at 9 volts. and we'll just check this device. Yeah, 9 volts, 2.3 amps. so that's about 20 watts.

One interesting thing: if the unit is Switched Off and you plug in a USBC device into the Pd100 output, then you can see that it switches itself on. So I'm just going to use this PD trigger now to go through the voltages. So we've got 5 volts, 9 volts, 12 volts. See the little light on there green? 15 volts is teal and blue gives us 20 volts.

Interestingly, the PD 27 watt output I'll just plug my phone in doesn't cause the unit to power up automatically. You have to switch it on and wait for the USB a subsystem to come on. My phone's just indicated that it's now charging. You can see five.

Watts Also, the Pd27 output doesn't show its voltage on the voltage display I was thinking uh, PD 27 Watts 27 That's got to be three times nine. So nine volts, three amps. But actually this RAV Power is uh, calling for 12 volts and 2.25 amps. Which of course is more efficient.

So uh, that's better. There's also a light on the back which has three brightness levels, so if you press and hold it, it comes on at the lowest, medium and the brightest. and then if you press it again, it does flashing and strobe and SOS I won't subject you to that cigarette lighter socket output. Can it boil this glass of water? 12.6 volts, 118 Watts Let's see if it'll boil a few minutes later.

Yes, that's bubbling away nicely. What does the thermal imaging say? Uh, not quite boiling yet. but um, yeah. getting hot.

And finally, can you charge it using USB C Input the Pd100 watt one. Um, at 100 Watts Well, not with this cable. This one came from Lidl and it's only rated up to 60 watts. Apparently you have to have an E-market chip to get 100.

Watts I Think I have one of those cables. So I've plugged in my two key table our cable and that's coming from another power bank which can deliver 100 watts. And yes, there we are 97 Watts 20 volts. So that's 5 amps in that cable.

The question is, does it get warm down at the sending power bank? Certainly, The cable says 100 Watts PD What about the temperature? Yes, it's getting warm. What's that? 63 degrees? And of course, the longer you leave it, the hotter these connectors get and at the receiving end. Yeah, that's also getting warm. 43 degrees.

I'm quite interested to know actually whether the compatible solar panel to this power bank plugs in via the USB type C, or whether it plugs in on the side here via that DC input which is where the AC power adapter plugs in. So yeah, this is a really cool little power bank. Um, the thing that Drew my attention to it particularly was this voltage display. um for AC 12 volt, DC and also USB type C and you can hear it see it here cycling through.

Uh, the various voltages: Five volts, 9 volts, 12 volts, 15 volts, and 20 volts. Uh, yeah, that that's a lot of fun. Cheerio.
