First trial free, cancel within 14 days to avoid $129/year.
Power station with 2200w AC output to power almost any household appliance.
A definite cut above the cheapies with IP56 waterproofing, UPS, 4000+ cycles, expandable to 5kw, low fan noise silent up to 700W draw, good smart app features, fast AC charge under one hour, etc.

**** 2000wh model also available for $1499 First members, but odd pricing, cheaper to buy 2x1000wh models ****

I bought the 2000A model on special in Feb for $1249 as extra storage/inverter for an older campervan and it has been brilliant. The 2000A is just the 1000A with an addon 1kW battery pack. The 1000A is the better buy, more portable with a big 2200W inverter output (4400w max) for such a small package. Overseas model shown but advertised as official Australian stock, which comes with Aust. sockets and faster AC charging on 240V (not 110V),

    Its 240v with AU plugs, right?
    Specs say Input: 120V and show US plugs but I guess its a copy paste error?

      It is sold by Kogan and not a third party. The product page displays

      Official Partner. Official Australian stock that comes with a manufacturer's warranty and is covered by the Kogan.com Guarantee.

      Should be ok to buy. Take a screenshot of the page just in case.

    I have Australian stock model, which has AU plugs with 240V. Kogan says this is official Australian stock, so I'm guessing slack cut & past advertising, as you say.

      Segway offers 2 years Australian warranty, but only one on the AC and DC cables. But at this price they are much better value to Bluetti/Ecoflow for similar features and quality. The only issue I see is that they have largely flown under the radar in the US and here, not many sales, so Segway may ditch them to focus on their scooters at some stage.

        I watched the first 6 mins of the video linked below and Segway were offering 5 year warranties in the US. If they've dropped it to 2 years now that's definitely a bit of a concern. I stopped watching it as soon as I saw that warranty discrepancy, even if US still gets 5 years, why drop it to 2 for Oz?!

    • Trumpman on 22/07/2025 - 23:55

      That's right, bought bluetti AL180 over EOFY sale for $850 and better spec than this one, seems better value on bluetti I guess.

    A shame it is only 1000Wh. I'm currently using the VoltX 2000W 1536Wh Portable Power Station and it would have been nice to have a higher wattage device.

    The 1536Wh battery is great on the voltx but I find that 2000W isn't enough for my DeLonghi Multigrill 1100 (it uses about 2100W when using both the top and bottom grill).

      The bigger 2000wh Cube is also on sale at Kogan for $1499, which is cheaper than the VoltX 2000W 1536Wh at the moment. As I say, I paid $1249 for the Cube2000A a few months back, so it might be worth waiting to see if the price drops again.

    Could someone cleverer than me possibly tell me how many amp hours this would have, approximately? 🙏🏼

    • krisspy on 22/07/2025 - 15:42

      Irrelevant, you have the watt hours why would you need amp hours?

      But I'll entertain the question, 1024wh/220v=4.65 amp hour. Less due to heat and inefficiencies

      • HappyPants on 22/07/2025 - 16:42
        +2

        It's relevant, I believe, when comparing a unit like this to an easily and cheaply obtainable 100ah battery + inverter etc. This unit may run alot of appliances, maxing out at 4400w, but its sure not going to run them for very long!

        • King Tightarse on 22/07/2025 - 16:47
          +2

          Amp hours is always relative to voltage - you need to think in watt hours to have a 'transferable' unit

        • Selelvian on 22/07/2025 - 16:50
          +3

          As long as you compare the same voltage, that's fine.

          The 100Ah I'm guessing is at 12v so it's 1200wh, to compare to the 1024wh on the advertised product here, so only marginally more capacity

        • krisspy on 22/07/2025 - 17:06

          Watt hour is the most basic universal measurement you can use, literally. A 200watt heater will run for 5 hours from a battery that can provide 1000w for 1 hour. This battery can do 1000w per hour vs 1200watts on that battery.

          Why are you doing mental gymnastics backwards to use a figure which you then would need to make sure all the variables are the same? Ie make sure your talking the same voltage when measuring amp hours.

          If all you need are 12v camping equipment, then go get a 12v battery. Inverters drain power and there's no need buying a 2200w inverter for small appliances.

            @krisspy: Yep, I see what you are saying. Good to know that watt hours are a more universal measurement. I have a portable power station also, with similar capacity to this unit (974wh) but also a 100ah battery and a 200ah battery. Just wondering how they all compare. It's been a long day and I completely forgot the basic principle that to find out the watt hours its simply voltage x amp hours. Still learning. Cheers.

        I called Segway AU and they confirmed it only has 12 months assuming you don’t mention the ACL.

        The similar specced Bluetti has 5 years and is $50 cheaper. Worth a look.

        • ozhunter68 on 23/07/2025 - 10:21

          Have you got a link to the similar Bluetti model and site that is currently $50 cheaper?

          Did you purchase one direct from Segway AU yourself, or just called to check if they

          could price match Kogan and regarging warranty period?

        • sepa on 23/07/2025 - 10:35

          Really? That's a worry when it says 2 years on my warranty agreement, and reading further, it says 5 years on the battery only when you download the app.

          Bluetti has a better warranty on most models though, and is more established, but what similarly specced Bluetti model is $50 cheaper?

        wired to an extra anderson as a 12 V car charging input Or solar panels. Works well for my 12 V grill that draws

          " I even installed a small solar charge controller wired to an extra anderson as a 12 V car charging input"

          This is such a cool idea…are you saying that I can directly charge a LiPo4 from the car battery, by using a solar charge controller as the regulator? You don't need a DC-DC charger? Or did I read that wrong? Sorry for the questions!

            @HappyPants: Yep, works for my old van. I have a customised self installed 200Ah battery set up with

            dc/dc charger as well as a 200W solar panel which all works great as I travel for extended

            periods and want my food And beer to always be cold. Then I got the great idea to use a 12 V

            grill for tasty hot food on the go (I do not run a big 240 V inverter as everything I use is 12 V

            or USB A/C PD. Running the grill which takes 32 Amps I would have overloaded my fuse block,

            P.S. Just make sure the controller has a setting suitable for lithium if that is what you use.

            hence the sepperate battery/box. I can charge it either off my Anderson output of the Sepperate

            dual battery system, as well as I tested this straight from the vans in dash Cig output using adaptor

            cables. It charged close to 100W straight from the car, and from the rear up to about 90 W if driving

            and batteries are 100%. When the fridge cycles on, it drops a bit to say 50 W or 40 W, but if sunny it

            bumps up to 70 W or so. Been working well without any issues I can see so far.

                @gtech: Yep, in my case I only used a cheap 20A PWM controller that came with a solar panel, although

                it did have a Lithium charging profile on it (just need to press a few buttons, it' was b4 setting).

                Some of the MMPT such as the small Kings one does Not have a Lithium charging option.

                When I tested first, I could see what was happening on my dual battery systems Renogy Battery

                Monitors display, as well as having an inline Watt/Amp/Volt meter plugged in the solar input of the

                battery box, both in rear batteries, as well as the cig output in the dash, both work well so far.

    For reference, this is only 83ah at 12v.

    Yesterday Kings 100ah Lifepo4 plus box was $250. For those who are new to this and on a budget definitely consider a BYO battery + inverter combo - you could easily get twice the battery capacity for this price and it's not difficult or time consuming to put together.

    • Demux on 24/07/2025 - 10:06

      I don't think it will be that much cheaper. You will need the following
      - 2200W inverter
      - Charger that is capable of fast in 1.2hrs from 240V
      - Solar DC to DC charger at 800W - voltage input from 12V to 60V
      - The LCD interface and software integration
      - Premium battery that charges over 4000+ times compared to the Kings
      - 6 power outlet sockets
      - USB charger with dual 100w USB-C, and USB-A

      You then need to assemble these into a compact package. It is IP56 rated. It also has UPS function too. If you want more capacity you can plug the Kings 100ah Lifepo4 into the solar input at the same time to provide charge while using it. If you want to provide the full 800W solar charge you can add a step up voltage converter from 12V to 36 or 48V.

      • ozhunter68 on 24/07/2025 - 12:20

        Both obove two comments have their merrits. For some people or use cases a 12 V powered battery

        box with 12 V & USB outputs is all that is needed, and sometimes more capacity is preferred over

        unneeded high inverter or solar charging or other features found on power stations such as this Segway.

        Some people may only need or want a smaller 600W-1000W inverter sometimes, so that would be cheaper,

        lighter, and not take up as much space as you could add it via anderson to the side when needed or not.

        If you want to build a powerstation with all the Segway features, it would certainly cost more, end up bigger,

        not be as nice and integrated without bluetoth app & certainly no firmware updates.

        In saying that I like both, have small and large powerstations, and a few different size powered battery boxes,

        some customised to suit my needs/size/budget. I say try what you want within your budget and abilities.

    If you look at the Segway website, they state that the Battery modules are IP56,

    the lower section is getting wet on the beach. Beware, the whole unit is Not IP56.
