    This is great deal at a great price! I bought these (2 for the price of 1) on flash sale last month because of all the power outages that occur here on SW Florida and I couldn’t be happier! I haven’t had to use them yet, but tried them out and they work perfectly to run a fan, or a laptop. Charge devices and also works as a flash light! There is a handle on top for easy carrying and can be charged with color power if needed! It feels heavy enough to be extremely durable, but lightweight enough to carry from room to room or from place to place outdoors for camping. Not really hoping for a storm to knock the power out, but feel as though I am ready if one does!

    It charges all of the devices I use on the daily. Its able to fast charge my phone from completely dead to full in an hour. For half of the week, I charge my main devices at work and for the other half I used the power station. So I end up having to charge it once a week. Its small and easy to carry and I'm glad that does everything I need it to do.

    Great little device, good for small consumer electronics like phones, tablets laptops; things you youse often. I find the USB ports most useful. I'm glad it has 120v & 12v output ports for emergency situations, but most of what I need it for runs off usb anyway, so there'd be more loss of energy in conversion from dc to ac for the 120v. The barrel connector is also the same size as the output connector on my Goal Zero panels, so I can juice it up from the sun, right out of the box.

    I recently acquired the Fremo Portable Power Station TP300, and it became a welcome addition to my outdoor adventures and emergency preparedness kit. As someone who values reliable power on the go, I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed by such a small power station. The TP300 is incredibly compact and lightweight for a power station with such capability. Whether I'm at a dance convention for my girls, on a family photoshoot, recording drone flights, or facing a power outage at home, this power station is easy to carry, transport, and has multiple ports for providing needed power to my essentials. Its ergonomic handle makes it easy to move around, and it fits neatly in the trunk of my car or even a handy travel bag for those on-the-go power needs. When it comes to power output, the TP300 delivers respectable for my needs. With a 300W continuous output capacity with a peak of 400 watts and a 231Wh lithium-ion battery, it can handle a variety of devices and small appliances. I've used it to charge my smartphone, charge and power my laptop, power a small fan, and even charged my drone batteries during some outdoor adventures. The multiple output options include 1 AC outlet, 1 USB-A port, 1 USB-C 45W port, 1 USB-C 100WPD port and even a 12V car socket, providing versatility for a wide range of devices. The convenience of having multiple outlets cannot be understated. The AC outlet is perfect for running small appliances or powering essential electronics during power outages. Simultaneously, the USB ports are great for keeping your smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices charged. The 12V car socket is a useful feature for powering or charging devices typically used in a vehicle, which is handy for outdoor enthusiasts or camping. There is also a led flashlight that is extremely bright with an SOS function if ever needed. The TP300 is virtually silent, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. With the 300W wave inverter there is a slight fan noise emitted from the side or back depending on how you look at it when you are using it to power or charge rapidly. But nothing overwhelming, more like a white noise that may be comfortable in those power outage moments. Functionally, the TP300 does what it is made to do. However, I have not been able to get the full 100 % function that is stated in the paperwork. For instance, I have not been able to get the full 100W to and from the USB-C PD port. I have used a USB-C cable rated for 100W and have charged my drone batteries at 66W and was able to charge all three in about an hour and a half. That is very impressive if you know how long it takes to charge drone batteries. In doing that, the TP 300 was drained to 47% and I took it in to recharge fully. I first used the AC adapter charger and was getting 36W input charge. I then tested the USB-C 100W PD charger port with a fast charger 100W block and cable rated for 100W, I only got 87W input charge. All this info is provided on the LCD readout which is very handy. It displays that the charge time dropped from about 3 hours using the AC adapter to a little over an hour with the PD port. I mean this is more than adequate and impressive for such a small and versatile power station, I just wish I could squeeze every ounce of input/output that it is rated for. I may have to get higher rated cables to do that but for now, what I am getting from this TP300 is quite alright. In summary, the Fremo Portable Power Station TP300 is for those who need a reliable source of power on the go or during emergencies. Its compact size and ergonomic handle make it easy to carry, and its multiple outlets and impressive power output ensure you can stay connected and powered up wherever you are. Whether you're out in the wilderness, at a tailgate, or facing a power outage, the TP300 has your back. It's become a great companion of my outdoor adventures, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of portable and versatile power. This power station has certainly improved my outdoor experiences and emergency preparedness, including the convenience of charging drone batteries.

    Fremo TP300 - Don't leave home without it!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As an avid outdoors person on both land and water I’m always looking for solutions to help with battery charging and power management. The Fremo TP300 Portable Power Station is a perfect addition for anyone looking for remote charging solution that won’t break the bank. I’m not going to lie, I was expecting something a bit larger based on photos from the Best Buy website. Rest assured this little power station packs a powerful punch! The Fremo TP300 is a small power station based on others I have seen or used at just 7” x 5.8” x 7.5” and a little over 6 lbs. It’s rated at 300 watts continuous and 400 watts peak and is based on Lithium-Ion battery technology. There are a handful of useful inputs/outputs including 2 x USB-C (100W & 45W), 1 x USB-A, 1 x 12V car charger and 1 x AC port with ground. For my usage, this is the perfect size and variation of connections to charge all of my electronic needs like mobile devices, drones, speakers, cameras, camp lights, etc. The unit charges through an included AC wall charger, the 100W PD USB-C port or by use of solar panels. I’ve found the USB-C route to be the quicker charging option compared to the wall charger. Due to dreary weather, I was not able to try with solar panels as of writing this review. It’s great to have that option for camping, sailing, etc. where power isn’t always readily available. The power station came about 50% charged and it was fully charged in around 1.5 hours from there. It has recharged my phones, drones and cameras repeatedly for days and was only down to about 45% before I decided to recharge it. I used a 65W USB-C charger to recharge and it took about an hour to top off. The cooling fans do come on automatically with this charging option. The LCD display is very easy to read and there is a light for when it’s a bit darker out. It displays the output, time remaining for that output, battery percentage remaining when being used. When charging it displays the percentage remaining, input watts and time to full charge. There’s also a flashlight function which is great for camping and working outdoors. It works as a constant light or also flashes SOS in case of emergency. Pros: - Packs a lot of power for a smaller power station - User friendly, easy-to-read LCD display - Multiple charging/input ports both AC and DC - Quality built and lots of power for a portable power station - 300 Watts continuous output to support larger appliances if needed - Built in flashlight and SOS beacon - Pass-through charging – can charge devices while charging power station Cons: - Lack of a cap/cover on the 12V car charging port - Fan is a bit loud when charging on the 100W USB-C port (they come on automatically) Overall, the Fremo TP300 has been a welcome addition to my outdoor/on-the-go lifestyle. There’s enough power to keep all your mobile devices, cameras, drones, lights, etc. running for hours if not days! I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful yet portable power station.

    The Fremo TP300 Portable Power Station is the perfect solution for emergency power or remote power needs. The durable handle and construction makes it easy to handle. With enough power ports for handling the charging of my tablet, phone, and laptop at the same time, I know I'll be able to stay in touch when the local power goes out. It's also great for remote stargazing when I need multiple devices to remain powered throughout the night. In my initial testing, I plugged in my iPad Pro, and only used 26% of the Fremo power during 12 hours. My MacBook Pro stayed at full charge for seven hours and used 80% of the Fremo power. I highly recommend this portable power solution to anyone needing to power multiple devices. Features • 231Wh capacity • 300W continuous output via a pure sine wave inverter • LCD display with battery status, output power, charging status, est. remaining time, temperature warning, low voltage warning • Built-in flashlight • Durable construction • Internal cooling fan • Power button • AC power button • Easy to carry handle • Support for optional solar panel charging • Ports ○ USB-C 100W input/output ○ USB-C 45W output ○ AC output with protective cover ○ USB-A output ○ Car lighter output ○ DC input

    SMALL Size, BIG CAPABILITY! Durable & VERY Useful!

    Let me start off by saying that if I didn’t like this unit I would have no issue telling the world about it no matter how I obtained said unit. With that said this IS A SUPER HANDY, VERSATILE UNIT! Long story short this is a GREAT Option for portable power compared to competitive options in the terms of capability and solid build. The TP300 is a good entry level portable power station/inverter because it offers 300 watts continuous output with a 400 watt start/surge/temporary peak. At this price point and in this size class of Portable Power Stations (PPS) this is what sets the TP300 apart from the pack in my opinion. I have not seen many examples of a PPS in this size that offers a 300 watt continuous output. I like having that capability even if I do not need it all the time. Being able to get a mini fridge compressor to start up and then run PERFECTLY with a PPS this small is incredible. The capacity of 231 watt hours is also very good for this size unit. Although there may be other units with slightly more capacity they do not offer the 300 watts output in this size of a build. Usually I would have to select a bigger unit, with more capacity to get access to that 300 watt (400w peak) output. The build of the unit feels solid! It doesn’t squeak or creak or make any plastic on plastic noise. There is rubber grip on the underside of the handle and a rubber bumper on each of the 4 corners. The flap that covers the AC plug is my only concern but that is an overall concern on every flap like this that has ever existed. The display is very easy to read and is fully backlit for reading in the dark but the backlight turns off so it is not using power or being an annoying light. A simple tap of the main power button illuminates the display for quick checking to see the status of the unit. The wattage and info displayed on the screen is very accurate as tested against a digital multimeter. I am a Contractor and have a very nice and highly accurate multimeter and the numbers on the multimeter and the display of the unit were VERY close if not the same when taking measurements and testing the unit. Basically I have plugged in everything I could find to plug into it and it all ran flawlessly and some things ran and surprised me that they ran. Since receiving the TP300 I have used it to power a myriad of things like 3 different versions of a “mini” fridge, a full size bug zapper out in the back of the property without having to run multiple extension cords, power tool battery chargers, action camera batteries, drone batteries, cell phones, tablets, laptop, the chromebook that runs my business in my work truck, recharge flashlights, my heated lunch box, ran a fan for a long time, recharge multiple bluetooth earbud cases, my watch and all sorts of other little appliances and gadgets. You get the point, I have plugged a ton of stuff into this unit to test it, some not listed here. I have even been able to charge slow charging devices that a regular pocket sized power bank would not fully charge because the charge amperage is so low that they turn off without completing the charge on what's plugged into it. The unit has a light on the side that I have USED A TON while packing up the work truck now that the sun drops early and it has an SOS function also in case I need it during a roadside emergency. The unit comes with an 18 volt wall wart DC charger that charges it at approx 35 watts. The DC connection is a 7.9 x 5.5mm tip (standard for these devices). Here is a HUGE GRIPE I have with the unit! The unit is capable of 100 watt charging through a bidirectional USB C port. So why not include the 100 watt charger and cord with the unit instead of the 35 watt DC Charger?!?!? I really do not like it when manufacturers advertise capability but do not include the accessories to access that capability! I HAD to go out and buy a separate 100 watt USB C charger to access the 100 watt charging capability of the unit and to PROPERLY test and review the unit! In my opinion that charging option should have been IN THE BOX if it is part of the list of things that separates this unit from the pack of competitive options! Of which, 100 watt charging does add to the value of having this unit over others without that capability. I am, however, HAPPY TO REPORT that the 100 watt charging does work REALLY WELL and it charges SO MUCH FASTER when using that feature. It was totally worth ordering the 100 watt charger separately, but again, I shouldn’t have had to do that and I feel it should have been in the box. Even some coupon code or a link to a 100 watt charger that FREMO manufactures and sells would have been nice but that was not present in the box. There is a ***caveat though….a light at the end of the tunnel! ***Keep reading…. My last “GRIPE” with the unit is the DC Charging port itself. Now I know that 18-24 volts is pretty common on these devices but I really would have liked to see it be “12-24 Volts” instead! As it stands the unit CANNOT BE CHARGED in a standard vehicle accessory port as they only output 12 volts. I have a Car Plug with the correct connection to fit the DC port on the unit but the unit will not charge when plugged into a 12 volt accessory outlet in the truck. BUT!!!! Here’s the kicker! ***Remember that light at the end of the tunnel that I mentioned? The 100 watt bidirectional USB C port also accepts lesser voltages!!! Meaning that if you have a 25 watt, 45 watt or whatever watt Fast Charger or Super Fast Charger that is for use with a mobile device, it can be used on this unit to charge it TOO! So all the Fast Charge, Super Fast Charge, and PD chargers with a USB C end will work to recharge this unit and there is no need to have a dedicated 12 volt DC charging cord laying around, that works just to charge this unit! Overall, I am VERY VERY HAPPY with the features, the output, the charging, the overall specs, design and build quality of the unit. I have zero issue recommending this as I already have to co-workers, clients and family members due to my experience with it versus 2 others that I have. This is the one that is my “everyday driver” now. I love the size and the capability that it gives me and I like that it is built in a way to withstand dealing with me and being in my work truck without me having to treat it with baby hands. This is an HONEST WINNER and I fully stand behind it and I GENUINELY LOVE the unit! It goes (almost) everywhere I go....or it is within easy access.

    I’m a kind of an amateur prepper. I love being prepared for any bumps along life’s way and I love tech from action cameras, ipads, phones and drones… so it is inevitable that a portable power station is a must have for me and my family and Fremo TP 300 is an awesome power station!!! I have a few but this one is really handy for on the go. I love the handle and built in flashlight and rugged quality build. The size is perfect too….not too big or heavy…just right. It feels solid and the materials are premium! With up to 700 cycles it’s gonna be around for a long while. I really like the layout and it has all the outlets I need. It calculates the hours of power real time and I plugged my 16” MacBook pro in and it estimated 5.3 hours of power! Plenty of time for me to empty a memory card and scroll through some video and pics before packing everything up while I am in the field. The marketing says it can run a tv for 3.2 hours, Gopro charged 33 times, smartphones around 19 charges…plus you can hook it up to a solar panel and charge it back up throughout the day! Very versatile! I thought I would just keep it tucked away in a closet for emergencies (which you can) but I have found I like to have it out and just plug devices into it around the house as needed. Frees up plugs and just convenient. If you do store it be sure to charge it up and recharge every three months. They say not to let it get to totally zero to keep the health of the battery up. If you love power hungry devices, you really need to be able to feed them!!! I hate getting sidelined because the batteries are drained! I don’t have to worry about that with the Fremo TP 300! Great product and very useful in my tech life!!!! Love it!

    I thought this power station was bigger than what the product picture shows but don’t let that fool you. It may be small but packs a punch. It is well built and seems strong enough to handle the elements. Also, you would think it would be heavy but it has a comfortable weight to it. It has every type of input you can imagine. It will be the perfect companion while traveling and staying in a hotel for business or pleasure. There have been times while traveling with a group that we all needed power for our devices. This power station can solve all of them. If you’re someone that goes camping this is a must have. With two usb-c (one 100W PD and one 45W) inputs, one usb-a input you should be able to charge multiple portable devices all at once. There’s even a car port and a DC port to handle your needs. The versatility of this device is amazing. I live in the south and with the frequency of inclement weather this will come in handy during power outages. I love the LCD screen that shows how much power is being used and the battery level of the power station. Pretty cool. Bright and visible. There is also a bright flashlight on the side of the station. Nice handy addition to all of the other features. It seems like the initial charge took a while but maybe that’s because I was eager to use it. Once it reached full charge I charged my watch using the PD 100w port and it was lightning fast! I’ve been using it ever since. Not sure I will use the regular outlet anymore to charge my phone and watch. The only downside for me is that you have to press the power button for it to turn on when you haven’t used it for a while. I plugged in my device and thought it was charging but I realized the power button wasn’t pressed. I’d rather just be able to plug it in and let it go. But that’s not a dealbreaker for me with this device. I know it will come in handy in multiple situations.

    The FREMO TP300 Portable Power Station will come in handy in a pinch or for those camping adventures. It comes in at just over 6 lbs, Dimensions of 8x7x6 with a grippy carrying handle making this unit really portable. The outputs at minimum however you can always plug in the AC input with an adapter to get more things powered up. Additional inputs of USB, USB C and a DC makes battery pack universal to fit many needs. I was able to keep my developer’s laptop along with two 24” monitors running for a goo 2 hours and 40 mins. Which is much better than what I have seen with some “backup” backups. There is a led display that shows battery life by percentage, wattage output and mins remaining on the battery. However I wouldn’t trust mins remaining as that seems to fluctuate back and forth even with the same things being powered up. So when it initially told me I had about 4 hours, it doesn’t exactly give a good estimate. Keeping the unit powered off seems to have no power leakage in a weeks time. The unit is well ventilated and did not get hot over the two hours and forty mins I had it running. It remained pretty quiet during this time. I am disappointed that there was no alerts with the battery hitting a certain percentage of life, so that is something you will just have to monitor. For camping purposes l, the built in flashlight will come in handy. Charging time from zero to 100% seems to be long, so be prepared for that. But because the unit could give me a decent amount of time of usage along with the versatility, I would recommend this unit.

    The Fremo TP300 is a compact but slightly heavy power station. These days it's a good idea to have a back up power generator in your home, or on the road in the event of a car breakdown that's battery related. Of course you can use this on leisure trips like camping trips or trips to the beach. Out of the box you get the generator and an AC proprietary power adaptor. When charging, the screen will show you how many hours it will take to fully charge the power station. You can also plug a USB-C cable into the port labeled "PD 100W" and charge it that way, but in my test, it takes about three times longer to fully charge it this way. I wish it wasn't proprietary because the pin connector is not common, so if it breaks or you lose it, I'm guessing you would have to go through the manufacturer to get a replacement. There's a DC 12V 8A outlet. This is the one that kinda feels out of place. I tend to use DC plugs for car specific items. For example my dash cams, or phone chargers. I don't understand why I would need a DC outlet when I don't really have anything that runs on it conventionally. The only use I can see is getting and inverter and adding more AC outlets... which brings me to my next topic. I wish there was more than one AC outlet. I understand that having two AC outlets means that the battery drains faster, but I think it's worth doing if you actually do need to charge two AC plugs at the same time. This is a big miss in my opinion. When you want to use the AC outlet, you have to press the AC OUT button. I don't understand this either. I guess it's a safety measure. There's a flashlight button above the DC outlet that turns the white LED light on and off. It's a nice little feature, but nothing really grand. Once you turn the power station on, the screen turns on. There's a battery percentage indicator, a DC W and a timer that indicates remaining power. Lastly you have one USB-A (QC3.) port, a USB-C (45W) port, and another USB-C (PD 100W) in/out port. They're all straight forward. One of the nicer feature is that the power station has pass through charging. Meaning that you can charge your items while the power station itself is charging. All in all, it has a few flaws, but it's still a nice power station to have in the event of an emergency. I would recommend.

    As a new homeowner, I’m very interested in backup power solutions. Our sump pump has a battery backup installed and my long term goal is to install a whole home generator or battery backup. As you might imagine, these types of systems are extremely costly. In the meantime, the Fremo TP 300 is a much more budget friendly solution for powering portable electronics and small appliances in the event of a power outage. It is small and easy to take with you with its robust handle. It can be charged using either the included power cable or via USB-C. There are plenty of outputs to charge multiple devices at once. I appreciate that I can charge my phone, turn on a USB powered lamp/light, and run a small space heater all at the same time. The small LCD display shows you the power station’s current charge state and time to full or dead if you’re charging or powering something, respectively. I have found the estimates to be quite accurate thus far. The flashlight on the side is a nice touch. It can simply act as a flashlight with continuous light or flash “SOS” in morse code. Given the included DC output port, I could see the TP 300 being a perfect battery to keep in the car to power an air pump in the event of a flat tire. I am interested in picking up Fremo’s solar panel for some peace of mind from the possibility of an extended power outage. With or without that addition, this is a great unit and I’m happy I have it!

    As an Eagle Scout (a very old Eagle, but Eagle none-the-less), I've always taken to heart the motto of 'Be Prepared'. I have go-bags built and ready to, well, GO on the shelf in the garage by the car. I have back-ups and back-up power ready, and the Fremo TP300 is an outstanding addition to my emergency gear. I have a similar power station from a few years ago that is/was good but the AC plugs were not as robust and did not accommodate grounded plugs which GREATLY limited its utility for devices that require it, and it mostly acted just as a USB power source for events/camp-outs and not for anything else. Now with the Fremo - TP300 I have just as robust of a power supply but I also have a better selection of USB outlets and a grounded outlet! This will make it much easier to use at events where I might need to plug in a laptop charger or other small appliance that requires the grounded outlet. BTW, I'm aware that there are adaptors to change a plug from grounded to ungrounded but that would violate SO MANY safety rules in my head that it would probably explode. Another great thing about the TP-300 Portable Power Station is that it recharges much faster than my previous portable. It arrived at 53% (a specificity I couldn't get with my other portable since it only had bars of power), and it topped up in a little over two hours using the included charger. I do have a set of solar cells that I have yet to use to charge it up but that is more of an issue for campouts than anything else. My other power station, while having an equivalent power storage capacity, weighs a bit more than the Fremo, which actually makes the flashlight function on the TP300 much more useful since you might actually be able to use it as a flashlight without your arm falling off! Speaking of the flashlight, if you hold down the light button it goes into SOS mode, which is the only Morse Code I still remember. My only wish for the Free TP300 is that the flashlight button were closer to or actually on the handle of the device so that it was easier to turn on/off one handed. A button just above the light on the handle would be perfect! I'm very happy with the TP300 and it will see lots of use over the next several years for events and camp outs, but hopefully not for any disasters, though it will help our family 'Be Prepared' if such a thing does happen.
