Portable Power Station 200W, FF Flashfish 40800mAh Backup Power Battery Pack With 110V AC Outlets/2 DC Ports/3 USB Ports, Solar Generator Power Supply For Home Backup, Power Outages, and Camping

I was supprised with how small this battery is. The whole thing is less than the size of a shoe box and comes with several accessories including a USB light, a way to charge via wall outlet (AC) and a way to charge via car (12v DC). It doesn't have a built in DC/cigarette lighter style outlet for 12v appliances but it does have an adapter which you could then plug a splitter into it. It came fully charged which was a nice touch. The instruction manual says it will hold a full charge for about 3months. Recharging does take a long time (all night when plugged into the wall. Probably longer if plugged into a solar panel or car) It has a helpful built in display which shows battery life. There are 5bars and each bar represents approximately 20% battery life. So you can really know how much you have left. Everybody always wants to know what real world battery life will be so I ran some tests. My purpose for this was not to use with solar panels, but just to keep charged in case of power outages, I would be able to charge my phone, maybe watch a movie on my iPad, and most importantly to run a fan so I don't die of heat. Test 1: ran a big box fan on high, phone charging, iPad charging, USB light. Battery life was about 100min Test 2: medium size table fan plus phone charging. Battery life was about 3hrs Test 3: ran only a DC fan (the kind you see on school buses and mail jeeps) it was powerful enough to really blow but just sipped power. This ran on high for 12hrs and still had over 20% battery left. Test 4: just for kicks, I tried plugging it into a fridge (both full size and dorm size). Unfortunately, the surge was too much and it couldn't run it at all. This was about what I expected. Overall, I'm very happy with this product, especially for the price. I wasn't able to find anything bigger that didn't jump tremendously in price

I waited six months to review, so I could give it an honest evaluation. I bought it for CPAP(Respironics System One) use during power outages and camping, and it works great. I learned the hard way that it will not last more than 4-5 hours if using a humidifier. In the three times I’ve used it since, with no humidifier, I still had 3 of 5 bars on the power indicator in the morning, after 6 hours of use. It took about 1.5 hours to recharge the next day. I’m confident it would last two nights on one charge if I needed it. I didn’t use it to charge anything else during those time periods. It does charge phones and electronics with ease and little battery consumption. Also it’s very light and compact. I’m very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it. One other thing, don’t be misled by the claim of solar in the description. It is not solar powered and does not come with any solar component. It will, however, take a charge with a solar panel and the correct adapter.

This seems to be well-built, and very portable. It's actually kind of cute! I am revising my review because I thought the the USB ports didn't work, but after hearing from the company (and great customer service by the way), I learned that you have to push the DC button to get the USB ports to work. I was then able to test it by charging my phone and my iPad, and it didn't drain the battery. It takes some time, but that's fine if it works and will give me a charge in an emergency. It's not powerful enough to charge my laptop, (it used up the battery quickly without giving it much of a charge, but it worked on a lamp and didn't use much of the battery. So, I'm happy with it now and will keep it. I like knowing that I have a backup if necessary. My only disappointment is that I thought that the solar charge was built in, but it's an add-on for another $100.

I had purchased a Flash Fish portable power station in September 2022. Unfortunately, the station is not holding charge below 3 bars. It has happened several times , the first few times I thought my children left the station on, however I was camping this week and was the only one using the power station. I went to sleep the night before with with 3 bars remaining on the power station. I was only charging a Galaxy S22+ and a Galaxy Watch on DC power, both not fully drained. Previously these devices required very little draw from the station. I plugged in at past 11pm (3/5 bars remaining on the battery) and when I woke up at 6am, the power station was dead. My phone and watch were charged, however the station was fully depleted. I confirmed that AC power was not switched on. I bought this item for camping with the Scouts and for emergency use since we live in an area prone to power outages from hurricanes. Unfortunately, I am unable to depend on this power station for these purposes. I contacted Amazon Customer Service, who advised me to contact Flashfish Inc directly. Flashfish website states 12 month warranty. I sent an email last week, which has not received a response. I also messaged the company via their Facebook page. Still no response. I really liked the power station, had it worked the way it was supposed to. But lack of response from the company regarding a warranty issue just leaves a bad taste. Never again. Update: someone from Customer Service contacted me to request proof of this happening. I provided them proof over 3 weeks ago and have followed up 4x with no response.

I’ve had the Flash Fish power pack since the end of 2020. I’ve used it to power a small vintage sewing machine in my car while my son was fishing or working. It was great! Lately I’ve been using it to occasionally power my CPAP for very short periods of time. (I don’t have cell service at home and the machine has to send data to its provider so I take it for a ride to get cell service.) But when I got it out during a power outage to actually use to run my CPAP all night, it was dead. It had totally drained from 90% in a week just sitting in its box. And it’s not recharging above 1 bar. Now, I’m trying to decide whether to get the same unit again.
