Since I bought mine for about 230 bucks Canadian, it’s been my main device charger and it can serve as a UPS.

I decided to buy it after we had a bunch of power outages within a short time span.

It has a 288Wh battery, with an inverter that can deliver 600 Watts of power.

It’s mainly used to keep my headphones, Google Pixel and iPad charged up however it can run my PC for a solid 2-3 hours before running out of power.

    It doesnt look/sound like you are using solar panels with it, but thats like half the reason to buy one of these. Currently you are just slowly degrading the battery for no reason lol.

      I do have a foldable 100W solar panel for it. Unfortunately the battery degradation is real. On one hand, having your computer on backup is nice, but that battery will remain plugged in and full 24/7 which will degrade it with time.

      I’m on the fence about using it as a UPS long term for this reason.
