    I charged in the car and into the wall, the wall outlet is faster. It works well and I use it for my phone mainly. the battery lasts even when you don’t fully charge it. It was worth it.

    Smaller unit than previous Jackery. Wished I'd bought a larger generator but this will take care of lower power consumers like radios. Still looking for more usable items and will try a corded drill, sander and router today to see what this unit can do.

    I used the power station to power my portable fridge and charge my devices and after 10hours the the battery indicator was only at 55%. That’s all I needed from the product and more than I expected.
