Costco have reduced the price of the Orico AT150 as part of their Cyber Monday Sales.
Haven't seen this kind of power bank before. It does seem to be the cheapest price that I can see but there aren't a lot of other places to purchase this from at the moment. I guess you can always buy, try and return if you don't like it.

Review TL;DR
What I like
- The ports are types I use (except for the DC output one).
- The unit is solidly and professionally made.
- Capacity was quite good for my multiple device charging needs.
- The device worked flawlessly during my testing.
What I’d change
- Make a wrap-around handle for easier carry.
- Remove the ‘Outdoor’ designation in the product name unless it gets an IP rating.
- The car accessory plug (‘cigarette lighter’) included with the Orico Power Station is referred to on the Orico website as a ‘car charger’. It is actually an output cable and plug assembly, and cannot charge the Power Station. It can power devices that would plug into a car’s accessory plug.
Final thoughts
The Orico Outdoor Portable Power Station would be a useful addition to anyone’s camping or road trip supplies. Whether it’s needed during a power outage, or as a convenient, central power station for multi-device use when you’re off-grid, it can meet those challenges.
Update 3/8/23
The review AT150 model worked perfectly for a eleven months, but on a recent occasion, at the 44% power level, it stopped receiving a charge and stopped delivering power to items it should have charged. Support said there is no way to reset the AT150. Had it been a purchased unit, I could have returned it for service or replacement.
I gave the AT150 an 8 hour charge and several hours passed before the display changed from 44% power on the display. Eventually the display reached 100% and the unit now seems back to normal.
Will this be permissible as a carry on in a flight ?
