Great Little Entry-Level Power Station

Having access to power anytime, anywhere is increasingly becoming a necessity, and with battery technology having improved quite notably, reliable power no longer requires a hardwired outlet or bulky gas generator. An entire product line of battery-based "power" stations has emerged, and boy are they convenient.
The Freemo Portable Power Station TP300 is one such example. Coming in at roughly 6 pounds, the TP300 is lightweight an compact, offering a variety of output (and input) options in a very portable package. As someone living in a part of the country where power outages are unfortunately common, I decided it was high time I got something more powerful than your typical USB battery charger, to be prepared for the winter ahead.
The Freemo TP300 comes simply and tightly packaged, with moderately easily-recycled foam padding and no stryofoam in sight. The box includes the power station, charger and simple instruction manual, and I appreciated the simplicity and straightforwardness.
The power station itself feels weighty, yet portable, and very solidly constructed. It's small, yet stout, with a rugged heavy-duty plastic shell and appropriately-placed rubber bumpers and grips. It feels tough enough to travel with and not afraid of some bumps, although I'm not sure how it would perform in the toughest environments, as the ports are mostly uncovered and the vents allow you to see right into the internals. It very much feels like an "in case of emergency" and "light camping trip" device, which is more or less how Freemo describes it.
The station arrived about 50% charged, so I plugged it in first thing. The included charger is a large "wall wart" with a very short cord and standard round DC plug. The power station's screen lit up when I plugged it in and indicated it was receiving power at around 40W, estimating it would be full in more than 3 hours. The included charger is definitely on the slow side, but that's not necessarily a bad thing -- slower charging should extend the life of the batteries.
If you want to really kick things into gear you need a USB-C fast charger. One of the Freemo's USB-C ports is capable of 100W in and out, which is great to see. I don't have a 100W cable and charger, but I do have a 65W USB-C laptop charger. I plugged this in and the Freemo began fast-charging within seconds, indicating 65W or so of input as expected.
Fast charging immediately triggers the TP300's cooling fans, which appear to be your standard DC computer cooling fans. I hadn't expected the fans, although it makes sense why a power station needs active cooling. Unfortunately the fans are on the loud side, and you'll absolutely notice when they're running.
I found the fans kicked in when either input or output wattages went much past 40-45W. When I plugged in my laptop to charge from the 100W port the fans kicked on as the machine began drawing more than 60W, and stayed running until the computer's battery was mostly full and power consumption dropped below 40W.
Without a 100W USB-C cable I was unable to test the full power of the USB-C port, but I can say it consistently put out 60W+ to my computer as it charged. In my casual experiment, the Freemo took my laptop from 32% to 99% in 1.5-2 hours, dropping the station's charge from 98% to 73% in the process. That's about 1/4 of the station's charge to increase my laptop battery by nearly 70% -- not a bad tradeoff.
I like that the Freemo's lighted info screen shows current charge, current input/output wattage, and estimated time until empty at current draw rates. This is both helpful, for balancing your usage, and fun to watch various devices use differing amounts of power.
The TP300's lone AC plug is activated by a separate button, and includes a cover that stays closed until you plug something in. I was doing some DIY work and found myself needing some ventilation so I turned to the Freemo and a small fan. The TP300 had no trouble putting out enough wattage for a 9-inch fan through the AC port, and estimated I'd have 4 hours or more of the fan running on the medium speed. It was great to be able to move the fan where I needed it and not worry about stretching the cord from an outlet.
While it has only one AC outlet, the TP300 includes two USB-C PD ports (45W and 100W), as well as a quick-charge compatible USB-A port and a round DC "car charger" port. You can charge the Freemo with either the round DC plug at 18-24V, or through the second USB-C port at up to 100W. Unlike some other power stations it doesn't appear that you can charge the Freemo from more than one port at a time to speed charging, but with the 100W capability of the USB-C port, I'm not sure you'd really need to.
Overall, I really like the little Freemo TP300. It's a great entry-level power station. It's rugged enough and has a large enough battery to power some small essentials for short to medium amounts of time, and I really like that it includes 2 USB-C and 1 USB-A ports, all of the quick-charging variety. Comparably-priced power stations appear to have one or none, which is a big turnoff. With the world pretty far long the transition to USB-C, the Freemo is definitely future-proofed in this regard.
If you're looking for a portable power station for tailgating, light camping or a few hours of emergency backup, the Freemo TP300 is a great choice. You won't be able to power big-draw devices for days, but you'll be able to charge your phone, laptop or tablet a few times or more, and run small lamps, fans and the like with no issue. The Freemo is a great addition to my emergency kit and I look forward to finding many additional uses for it.

It charges phones and tablets moderately ,with that said I dont see how this could keep a laptop at a good percentage while its being used like it shows. Its better to have something than nothing to help get by in a crisis

Poor value proposition for this power station. The AC inverter outlets arr under-powered - you wont realistically do much with how little output it has. The DC car socket is also not truly 10 Amp capable - mine would not operate my 12VDC, 8 Amp portable fridge thats designed to look like an xbox console. Other power stations (and of course my car) were able to run the portable fridge just fine!
If you need a reccomendation for a budget power station, consider the Anker Solix C300X. It has a DC-only variant if you know you wont need AC power, and it also has an AC+DC variant with a 300W continuous load inverter. Thats what i ended up buying after i found out how useless and cheap this power station was. The Anker was onky slightly more expensive and infinitely more useful.
Plus, this terrible Fremo power station uses lithium-ion batteries. They have short cycle lives and are more likely to experience thermal runaway. Instead, look for a LiFePO4 power station - those battery types have a much safer chemistry and can last thousands of cycles without degradation. Plus, they are FAR less likely to experience thermal runaway! Much safer overall. The Anker i got instead uses a LiFePO4 battery pack.

The Freemo TP300, an exceptional power station, clearly stands out with its compelling features and sturdy construction. What you get is a solid, portable power station that's perfect for light travels and emergency scenarios, with its heavy-duty plastic shell and rubber bumpers ensuring durability.
The TP300 offers a variety of ports, including two USB-C PD ports, a quick-charge compatible USB-A port, a round DC "car charger" port, and a household 110V AC power plug port. The second USB-C port even allows you to charge the Freemo at up to 100W. It is clearly future-proofed with its USB-C ports, and offers a great blend of power, portability, and efficiency. While it may not power highly demanding devices for long durations, it is incredibly handy for charging small devices like phones, laptops, and even running small appliances.
Charging the Freemo TP300 is a breeze, particularly with its USB-C ports. The device came partially charged, requiring a few hours to reach full capacity. While the provided charger may be slower in its charging speed, this is actually beneficial for battery longevity. For those in need of a faster charging process, the USB-C port offers an impressive 100W input capability. Interestingly, the device comes with active cooling fans that kick in when the input or output wattages exceed 40-45W. While necessary for proper functioning, they can be loud and may be noticeable in a quiet environment. This is something worth considering if you're looking for a silent power station.
However, the TP300 didn’t fail to impress when it came to its ability to provide power. Even with the consumption of more than 70W by my laptop, the Freemo TP300 performed well, taking my laptop to a full battery in a couple of hours. This power tradeoff is quite impressive, demonstrating its efficiency.
One of the features I particularly appreciated was the lighted info screen. It displays the current charge, input/output wattage, and even the estimated time until the battery is depleted at the ongoing power consumption rate. This feature not only makes it convenient to manage power usage but also adds an interesting element to the user experience.
In conclusion, the Freemo TP300 is an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable, portable power source for light camping, tailgating, or emergency backup. It may not be suitable for heavy-duty tasks, but it most certainly steps up in delivering power to small essentials efficiently. It has earned its spot in my emergency kit and I am confident it will prove its utility in many future instances.

For some reason it won’t charge my devices after the second charge cycle. At that point it was just a big flash light. I don’t regret buying but was disappointed, and will be returning.

I found the Fremo Portable Power Station TP300 is a portable power solution is a very easy to transport package with lots of ports and features.
Design
It looks and feels like I think a portable power station should. All the ports are easily accessible on the front. The left side has a light. It's got a large, sturdy, handle that makes it very easy to carry. It has some weight to it but again, the handle is well designed. It's made to output up to 300 watts, 400 peak. The documentation says it can output its max load for an hour. There's a display that tells power remaining as well as other stats on the front. There's an On/Off button, a power button for the AC outlet, and a power button for the flashlight. Hold down the flash light button and it will blink SOS.
Display
The display isn't large and it's not fancy, but it's great! It shouldn't take much power at all and it displays a lot of information. Not only does it give you a quick idea of how much power is left in the battery, but it tells you the % of power left in the battery, the real-time power usage by connected devices, run time remaining, and when you're charging it, it tells you how long it will take to finish charging. The display also has a backlight you can turn on at anytime by pressing the power button (you need to hold down the power button to turn it on or off).
Connections
All of the connections can be used at the same time - assuming the load isn't too great of course. The Fremo Portable Power Station TP300 includes the following ports/connections:
- Car cigarette power adapter
- USB-A ("normal" USB port) QuickCharge 3.0 compatible (up to 36 Watts)
- USB-C - up to 45 watts
- USB-C - up to 100 watts, can also charge the battery with up to 100 Watts in via the same port
- AC Power Outlet
- Port to plug in included power adapter to charge the battery
Battery life
The battery life is very good. I've found the feedback it gives is almost more important than the actual battery life, and they really nailed the feedback! It tells you what percentage of battery power is left, how much wattage is being drawn from the connected devices, and how long the battery will last at the current rate. I was very happy with the battery life and don't have a lot of specific numbers but I do have some info that could be helpful. I was able to charge phones at fast rates and charge many other devices. It doesn't force devices to be charged faster than they should be charged, for example, I could charge my phone on the 45 watt or 100 watt ports and it wouldn't send 45 watts or 100 watts, but charge my phone at a good, safe rate, often around 15 watts. I'm not sure if any of that was cord limited but I used different generic cords and got the same results. I was also able to charge a Chromebook with 45 watt power supply that charges via USB-C and a Windows Laptop that has a 65 watt power supply, both without them saying they were being charged slowly. I tried it with a cigarette lighter adapter in it that gives three USB type A ports for charging and used that to charge a flashlight and a watch. I charged those while charging some other devices on the built-in USB ports and the AC outlet. I was impressed! I did have one device shut it off and give an error code every time. It was a gaming laptop. It has a 240 watt power supply, which should be ok based on wattage, but apparently the amps drawn or something else was too much for it. I looked up the code in the manual and it said the load was too high. It worked great with everything else I tried. I was glad to see it has that sort of safety built in. I also tried it with a stage piano (electric keyboard) that I ran off it for a bit and the battery said it could keep that up for 22.5 hours - and the battery was only at 77% when I tried that. Sure, not a high drain item but that gives you an idea of the kind of things this could be used for and possibly for how long.
Summary
The Fremo Portable Power Station TP300 has a great selection of ports and features at what I found to be an excellent size and weight for what it does. I was very happy with performance in fast charging phones and being able to charge a Windows Laptop and Chromebook without them giving any "slow charging" warning. One interesting side note, the manual specifically says to only use it right side up, not on its side or anything like that. I'm guessing it's due to airflow since there are cooling vents and fans that come on sometimes.
