Why Some Portable Power Stations Are More Expensive?

"It's better to buy a batch of cheaper portable power stations. They should be similar. I don't understand why some manufacturers sell them so expensively. It seems to be cheating others."

Is it ture?

In fact, the principle of “you get what you pay for” is no exception in the energy storage industry. As the price of batteries and the competition of extended products increase, the cost has actually become more transparent.

Dimensions of cost

Aside from the manufacturer's operating and production costs, let's make a comparison from a simple aspect, that is, only look at the cost of product materials. I believe that many customers have been comparing prices in the market for a long time, have seen a lot of product types, and also seen many manufacturers' different descriptions of their products, which make it difficult to make a choice.

In fact, this industry, like any others, you may get cheated sometimes.

We all know that the core material of power supply products is the battery, and the most important cost besides the product research and development is the battery. The type and quality of the battery directly determine whether a power supply product is excellent.

The Most Important Part - Quality of Battery

When we were doing market research, we have seen many phenomena that puzzled us: Why can other manufacturers’ prices be lower than ours for the same configuration and parameters? Of course, this problem is also easy to understand: they are not telling the truth.

For example, for the same 1500W portable power station, we can achieve a maximum peak power of 3000W, while other brands with unreasonably cheap prices may even be lower than 1500W. All of these have a lot to do with the quality of the battery.

In non-specific circumstances, users may not have a strong perception of product quality in this regard.

Because even if the battery is worse, it can still generate electricity. It is even said that as long as there is no major problem with the battery, it can run well for a period of time, but there is no way to guarantee how long it will last. Some of these batteries are disassembled from other places, used, or defective batteries that were eliminated in a batch of battery production. In addition to the fact that the power and current may not meet the standards, there are also potential safety hazards and product life issues.

Why can we make the 1500W portable power station a maximum peak power of 3000W? In addition to sufficient efforts in product research and development, we use brand new batteries, such as mainstream brand batteries from CATL or Gotion High-Tech. Only in this way can we ensure the good operation of the product and provide sufficient output power and safety guarantee for electrical appliances.

Product Design

Obviously, the product design of the energy storage power supply currently on the market is actually quite mature. All manufacturers understand the needs of customers, and based on this, they have expanded the various functional interfaces of energy storage power supplies to ensure that their own energy storage power supplies can reasonably meet the electricity needs of different customers in different scenarios.

So in fact, there is not much difference between the various companies on this point.

LED lights, USB 3.0 fast charging, LCD display, smaller product size and so on. But we think there is still room for improvement, so we made further optimizations in terms of volume, transportation, and power consumption when designing products.

Compared with the fixed handle, we think the foldable handle is more portable. After all, if the handle is fixed, it will definitely occupy some unused horizontal space, so the overall volume required for the product will be larger. Our solution is to allow the handle to be embedded in the fuselage, so as to ensure that there is no extra space occupied by the product after the handle is put away, which can save more transportation and storage costs, and reflect the saved cost to In terms of price, in order to provide lower price products to customers.

                   
We also added a wireless charging interface to the product, as well as an emergency start interface for the car battery. Of course, these two functions may not be used too often, but we think it is better than nothing.

The louver design on both sides of the product can provide good heat dissipation for the product and ensure the safety of high-power electrical appliances. Of course, there is no need to worry that the louvers on both sides will be poured in by water. It can be used normally in normal rainy days, because the design of the blades has been tested and will not input rainwater into the power supply. If it is a scene of heavy rain, then no power source can afford the safety of outdoor power consumption.

The built-in inverter makes it more convenient to use the solar panel to charge the product, no need for an external inverter to set up, plug and charge.
