Edit 8th November: Product arrived next day.. That was good. What wasn't/isn't good is that the unit does not come with a 30 Amp Anderrson (Powerpole) to 50 Amp Anderson cable/Adapter. without one you can't plug in you solar input. These are REALLY hard to find online. I found one for just under $60 but delivey time is too far for my need at the weekend. I'm having to try and make the cable, which isn't so easy if you don't have the right tools, i.e. Powerpole crimper. Some may get by with crimping with other tools or by soldering, but the connector pins are pretty tight using 12 AWG cable. I tried and failed.
I have now ordered a crimper and will try again to make one in time for camping,

Edit - I think it is a 58ah battery from the picture of label on back. I did assume higher with a 1500w battery, but I only need to run a camping fridge so good enough for me.

My first time buying a powerstation like this but think it's a great deal and have pulled the trigger on one.
Reviews of VoltX seem ok and I see there have been deals from this ebayer posted previously.

    happend to me as well. the fridge shows 0w from time to time (does show me 17w at the rest time). I tested in gardge. could be cold enought to not draining power? I tested with my another power station, shows me 20-30w consistently. at least never be 0w

    I also realized when i use this Voltx charging my the other power station, they showed me different number. Voltex shows me 78w output while my the other power station shows me 85w input. This just doesn't make any sense to me. Or maybe my magic body could remote charge my the other power station with the extra 7w? can't be real lol.

    Not sure if it's Voltx displays the usage lower than it's draining? that may make sense when the fridge shows me 0w sometimes. but 17w is still lower than my the other one show me

  Guys if I don't buy this, do you think there will be opportunities for similar units in the coming months? Or is this a real stand-out deal ?

    I've been keeping an eye on similar sized generators and this comes around very rarely. You might be able to get a good deal on an eBay bid.
    Read the comments here of those of us that bought it and make a decision.
    Some things it doesn't have - wifi/bluetooth and app, surge power output and fast charging.

    was comparing this with Vtoman ones. which is 22% off at ebay with ebay plus. may be slightly more expensive than this one. But it holds devices with higher wattage than the rating but only reduce the wattage without tripping the fuse. Such as rating as 1000w, but still cook the kettle with 2200w with 1000w to boiling. Vtoman 1000 (rating as 1000w) with 1408wh (similar with this) and you can use it as jump starter (cable is not included) selling $999 on ebay so $780 with ebay plus (22% off) you may be lucky to make an offer to bring it down further. which could be an option. the down side of vtoman 1000 is only provide 1000w not 1500w tho.

  Looks like I got a lemon :-(

  Nothing would turn it on, no buttons short press, double press or long press, and no ports would come on, empty or

  plugged in, tried all. Stated charging via 240 V /30 V included adaptorand showed as 1 % with display coming on and

  flashing and audible beep sound, things were looking up. At 14 % charge tried powering ports on whilst charging and

  unplugging the charger and no output at all, even pushing the LED light button, the only thing that happened was

  the screen would go off and instantly back on again. Kept charging to 29 % and tried all again, this time plugging in

  various devices in all ports and still Nothing at all powered on. Only thing left to do before returning is powering the

  Power Station to 100 % full charge and Maybe that will somehow Re-set this device. Looks well build and simple to

  use otherwise with really solid carry handle and seems to have also wireless charging build into the top like many

  other current Power Stations, but specs don't mention this, nor people on here. Have not tested that as least important

  at this stage lol.

    I replied above, but as protection after a below zero discharge (from self discharge before being sold), the control circuitry may wait till a certain charge level (including to 100%) before enabling the outputs.

    Or it could just being weird. If it starts working fine, definitely check the self discharge rate when not in use, just in case it's abnormally high.

      Thanks for your replies and input, your knowledge seems to be pretty spot on.

      Yep, just what I am doing now. Might take some time as in afternoon will have to revert to 12 V car charging,

      so may not be till tommorow some time as don't want to be sleeping in van whilst charging, and also not leave

      outside overnight in random weather. At least I will know if that feature works too haha.

      Next thing whilst I wait is try contacting Voltax, but being weekend don't expect a reply till next week.

      Did you end up getting one yourself, if so how is it going?

      Edit: reading your first comment, sounds like a No.

    Still good deal if receiving a working Power Station.

    Mine is unresponsive even charging to full 100 %. Will be returning this tomorrow to ebay store smart_flash

    and hopefully they will work it out with Voltax.

  ozhunter68 on 13/11/2023 - 11:21

  Can anyone here who purchased this Power Station give us a mini review to see if people here are happy

  with general use and performance as mine is a DOA and needs to be returned and wondering if I should go for a

  replacement or try get a full refund? Mine was purchased via ebay smart-flash seller, hope their ok to deal with here.

    I'm happy with my purchase because it is hard to find the value - 1400+Wh and 1500W for $700.
    For general use, the features are common to all battery power stations so I would call it normal or basic in terms of usefulness.
    If you haven't used a power station before then it is a great starter provided you are looking for bigger capacity.
    There are smaller capacity ones for less which have nearly the same features.
    Things I would have liked but can live without - bluetooth/wifi with an app, surge power (it cuts off if there is surge greater than 1500W), fast charging and quieter fans with AC use.

      ozhunter68 on 13/11/2023 - 20:44

      Yeah, if the one I got sent was working normally I would have been more than happy with the

      amount of features and large inverter and battery capacity for this price. The Allpowers R600 I have has

      some good specs for the price such as 400 W /240 V fast charging via Max setting controlled via blutooth

      if wanted, or slow and medium charging, then 300 W Max solar input and dual 100 W usb C PD but output only,

      and wireless charging. The inverter is 600 W with a stated 1200 W Peak, but according to reviwers this is way

      overstated. This Voltax has much more capacity, 1500 W inverter and even 100 W usb C and wireless charging

      thrown in, so great value here to be had at these prices.

    Frustrating that it was DOA!

    I wonder if in this case it was a control circuit problem that is the cause of it both not turning on, and it having the battery discharged down to zero.

    Are you getting a replacement?

      ozhunter68 on 15/11/2023 - 16:39

      I have done a return Monday afternoon after smart-flash did not get back to me after telling me a technician would contact me to trouble shoot the problem (I did not that particular one anymore as I tried most things that would normally make it work, and like you said, could be a bad cell, but being flat for who knows how long also not good). Whilst charging, the display stayed on but that can be ok and normal for some power station, but after stopping charging when reaching 100% full still would not turn off (most likely cause of faster than normal self discharge if nothing else), and no power or light working at all. I am an eBay Plus member, so return postage was free, but not sure what price I will be able to get another as price is different now and not sure what eBay seller can do. Some discount codes seem to come from eBay direct, so sellers can be limited to that at times. Really don't want to pay any more than $30 (which is what price is now for me after all discount codes). Tempted now to get bigger model now anyway as Amazon doing the 2100W version for $1100.

  Looks like they're on sale again on ebay, after discounts $679.20 - and the large models eligible for discounts. Similar discounts are seen on Amazon AU also.

  • 

    ozhunter68 on 13/11/2023 - 20:47

    The Voltx ST2000 is good value at $1099 on Amazon with a higher 2100 W (4200 W Peak) inverer and bit larger

    capacity with supposed better quality longer life cells (3500+ cycles to 80 %), but we'll have to trust them on that

    one, who is going to come back in 5-8 years time if not. Much faster charging via 240 V and solar too. Interesting how

    they up bigger power inverter, but lower the usb C output to 60 W only and no wireless charging.

      Ok, well ebay cheaper for that model. But then looking at Amazon for some of the other models, the prices seem quite good.

      https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0CH9JMVMJ , comes to $1,099.50 after discounts.

        Yeah, now that is a Beast for that price. Would think this can power a small capsule coffee machine hey.
