   poor quality
   worked for first 3 times. Now 100% charge is completely drained in less than 5 minutes. Feel cheated

   Inexpensive. Good battery for on-the-go and emergencies
   A long time ago, I had purchased a Rockpals 300Wh power station and had since given it away in favor of larger batteries (1000Wh and recently, 1500Wh). A friend of mine wanted an inexpensive battery with similar features for less than $150, and I came across the BailiBatt that offered a coupon at the time of purchase to make it an EXCELLENT deal. The specs looked good enough for me to recommend it to my friend to try out.There has been an increase in people taking emergency preparation more seriously.CELL MANUFACTURERSToday’s devices use Lithium-ion (Li-ion) and come in two chemistries: Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). They both can pack more power in a smaller package and weigh less than older technologies. However, Li-ion NMC (which this BailiBatt is made with) also is more volatile than LiFePO4. The risk increases as more cells are packed together. The quality of the battery cells and the BMS (Battery Management System) are crucial for safety.- Battery storage capacity is measured in Wh, and power output is in W (Watts)- The higher the Watt-hour (Wh) capacity rating, the more dangerous the battery could become if not handled rightBattery cells made by LG and Sony are among the best in the hobbyist world as are Sanyo/Panasonic, Samsung, and BAK Battery. I was not able to determine who made the batteries for this BailiBatt as I did not want to open it up since it was not purchased for myself.During my years of research, I found that use of lower-quality batteries could pose a serious risk to life and property and should become a crucial part in deciding what to buy. With that said, 300Wh and lower is generally considered a safe-enough capacity to not have to worry about fires about too much. Nonetheless, you should always store power stations in the garage instead of your main home — just in case a fire breaks out.IN A NUTSHELLBailiBatt is a light power station that will not win any design awards, but this is to be expected for a battery at this price range. The 150W of energy (and peak of 300W) provides enough power for a small amount of electronics and small appliances, such as a laptop, mini fridge, medical device (like CPAP), and car freezers, but will NOT work for rice cookers, and definitely not for a vacuum, water boiler, or circular saw. Furthermore, the 146Wh battery capacity is small and would only power a car freezer, for example, for 2.5 – 4 hours or a CPAP for 1.5 – 4 hours.The hard, plastic material used to help shed weight (and cost) could be prone to cracking from hard falls or bumps, potentially exposing the Lithium-Ion batteries to puncturing. The carry handle can be partially folded, making it somewhat okay for packing things on top.Functionally, this is a good, portable power station with a multitude of AC and DC outputs. BailiBatt included a USB-C PD port with an acceptable, 24W output. This makes it useful for slow-charging supported laptops.One thing I do not like about this power station, however, is that the AC output is disabled while its battery is charging. Only the DC-based outputs work (USB, 12V) while charging via wall outlet, car cigarette port, or solar. A cigarette port cable was not included: just the AC charger was.PROS- Very inexpensive at less than $100 on sale (most unknown brands sell for about $1/Wh)- Can power AC and DC (USB/12V Car adapter) at the same time (as long as they draw less than 150W combined)– Laptop, tablet, phones, lights, fans, CPAP medical device, projector, mini refrigerator, speaker, camera, DSLR battery charger- USB-C PD port outputs 24W, enough to slow-charge some laptops but not a MacBook or a modern Surface Pro, for example- DC ports (USB, 12V) can be used while charging. AC port cannot.- Built-in flashlight with SOS functionality- Portable at just 4 lbsCONS- AC port cannot be used while charging. Only the DC ports (USB, 12V) can- Carry pouch is not included to hold AC charger and cables- Batteries are likely not made by a globally well-known, Tier 1 manufacturer- No Anderson input port for solar charging- No 12V Car adapter included- Hard, plastic material makes the power station lighter, but could be prone to cracking from hard falls or bumps– Given that Lithium-Ion batteries become more volatile as capacity increases, particularly Li-ion NMC, one should handle the product with care- Battery cannot be replaced. This can lead to unnecessary landfill waste- Not waterproof. Keep it away from water splashes, rain, and pool!– Lithium and fire or water can cause serious damage or injury!USAGE- Li-ion NMC batteries have 500 charge cycles before capacity drops to about 80% from when they were new– Product could, in theory, be charged up to 2,000 cycles — about 1/4 of total capacity is lost every 500 cycle- Unlike Li-ion LiFePO4 batteries, Li-ion NMC can operate only in temperatures between 32-104F (0-40C)– BailiBatt Battery Management System (BMS) prevents:— Recharging in temps outside of 32 – 95F (0 – 35C)— Outputting power in temps outside of 14 – 104F (-10 – 40C)- Battery, like all Li-ion, slowly drains over time even when station is powered off– Could take 1-1.5 years to go from full to emptyCONTINUOUS VS PEAK OUTPUTThe AC Inverter provides a continuous output of 150W with a peak/surge of 300W- AC Inverter: Component responsible for converting battery (DC) power into AC for use by electronics- Continuous Output: As long as a device (or combination of multiple ones) does not exceed 150W, it can be used– Example: A TV that uses 100W can be used because it is less than 150W. You can add more devices as long as they do not exceed 150W combined– Example: A miter saw I have uses 1,800W, and because it exceeds 150W, it cannot be used- Peak/Surge: Almost every device temporarily draws more power when it is turned on. The highest amount it pulls during that time is the Peak/Surge. This power station can accept up to 300W– Example: A TV that uses 140W (continuous) may temporarily suck up 280W (peak) when powered on. Because 280W is less than 300W (peak), this battery will allow the TV to turn on at that level for a few seconds (any longer, and it might cut power as a safety precaution). After a few seconds, the TV then only uses 140W (less than the continuous 150W limit) until the battery is drainedCALCULATIONSThe below calculations are rough estimates as conditions, quality, and product age can vary.CHARGING TIMES- Wall charger: 4-5 hours (146Wh / 30W)– AC adapter was observed to provide 30WHOW MANY WATTS DOES A DEVICE US?- Calc: Watts used by device = Voltage x Amperage- If a vacuum is 120V and 9.5A, it uses 1,140WIf a device draws more than 150W for an extended period of time, the power station will shut off as a safety precaution. This can also shorten the battery’s lifetimeHOW LONG CAN A DEVICE BE USED FOR?- Calc: Hours available for device = Battery capacity (Wh) x 0.85 / Watts used by device– Generally, about 10-15% of power is lost during power conversion- If a device uses 60W, it could last up to 2.07 hours (146 Wh x 0.85 / 60W)- Amazon TV I have uses about 100W– If battery is full at 146 Wh, TV could run about 1.3 hours (146 x 0.85 / 100)HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE A DEVICE?- Calc: Hours to charge device = Device’s battery capacity (Wh) / Input Wattage- If a laptop accepts 60W of input and its battery capacity is 150 Wh, it could take 2.5 hrs to charge (150 Wh / 60W)TIPS- Always test your devices with the power station before you depend on it on the go- Lithium-ion batteries are volatile– To minimize fire damage to your belongings or loved ones, store the power station in the garage and not inside the house. Best storage is a dry, cool place, however– You cannot bring a battery of this capacity on a plane- With the right BMS, quality batteries, and other factors, the power station can be stored in the car while camping during a hot, California summer– Keep the battery out of direct sunlight. I usually store it on the floor of the car and crack open the windows a tiny bit– Do not USE in the car if temperatures fall below or exceed the battery’s rated, operating temperature (32-104F or 0-40C)- If using a car charger, make SURE you only charge this station while the car is RUNNING. Otherwise, you’ll deplete your car’s battery and leave you stranded- If charging with a solar panel, be sure to keep the station out of direct sunlight as it could overheat– A solar panel is NOT required to use the battery- NEVER charge the power station itself in below freezing temperatures, or you will damage the Li-ion battery AND potentially limit its overall capacity– You CAN use it to power OTHER devices because the generated heat will warm its battery enough to be within operating temps– At below freezing temps, keep it in an insulated cooler and connected to a power source (ie. solar panels). The heat generated by the battery will keep it running as best as it can- Turn off any output ports (AC/DC) that are not being used in order to conserve power- Do not use any power station in a tightly enclosed area as it can overheat- To prolong the battery lifetime while in storage, keep the battery fully charged every 3-6 months– Or, keep it plugged in when not in use and discharge it to 50% every 3-4 months– NOT using the battery for a very long time can actually hurt its lifetime– There is no “memory effect” in this station’s battery. It is better to NOT let it completely drainFINAL THOUGHTSThe BailiBatt is a decent battery for charging or powering smaller appliances and devices without breaking the bank. I find it especially useful for keeping a USB Light Bulb on at the camp site throughout the night.The hard, plastic material commonly used by power stations to help shed weight and cost could be prone to cracking from hard falls or bumps, and as such, this product should be handled with care – a puncture of the Lithium-Ion batteries could cause severe harm.Either way, good deal for a battery of this size.

   Stopped holding charge
   Says fully charged then dies after 10 minutes of use. Worked great at first but after 3 months started not holding a full charge even after charging all day. Now having to look for a better one.
