Alza started selling three new charging stations. The cheapest costs 5 thousand, the largest has 2,048 Wh

When the power goes out, it’s the little things that are missed most: a charged phone, a running router, or a simple light. It’s for such moments and for weekends at the cottage that the trio of AlzaPower charging stations, which Alza has just started selling, is aimed. The smallest weighs less than four kilograms, while the largest can even handle kitchen appliances.

Alza is not a complete newcomer to this segment – two years ago, we wrote about its monstrous Zeus station. However, the new Atlas, Hyperion, and Kronos series covers the entire spectrum from 288 to 2,048 Wh. All three models feature a LiFePO4 battery, can be charged from the mains, a car socket, or a solar panel, and cables for all three methods are included in the package. Alza provides a three-year warranty on them, and they are immediately in stock.

AlzaPower Atlas 288 Wh: a small station with the most powerful USB-C

The smallest AlzaPower Atlas has a capacity of 288 Wh, weighs 3.8 kg, and is carried by a single handle. Its 230V socket delivers 300 W continuously, and up to 600 W short-term, so according to Alza, it can handle a laptop, router, fan, or a small TV. Interestingly, it is the cheapest model of the trio that has the most powerful USB-C with Power Delivery up to 140 W – meaning it can charge even more powerful laptops. It is complemented by a second USB-C (20 W), a pair of USB-A (12 W), a 12V car socket, and a DC5521 output.

The Atlas charges from the mains at 300 W, and according to the manufacturer, it takes approximately 1.7 hours to go from zero to one hundred percent. The XT60 solar input with an MPPT controller accepts up to 100 W. It also features a backup power function, where the station automatically switches the connected device to battery power in case of a mains failure. However, unlike its larger siblings, Alza does not specify a pure sine wave output for it, nor does it have a built-in flashlight. You can purchase the Atlas for 4,990 CZK.

AlzaPower Hyperion 1024 Wh: a kilowatt-hour for the cottage and for the fridge

The mid-range AlzaPower Hyperion offers a capacity of 1,024 Wh and a battery that, according to Alza, should last over 4,000 charging cycles. Its two 230V sockets provide a total of 1,200 W continuously and 2,400 W peak power, with a pure sine wave output, which is appreciated by more sensitive electronics and appliances with motors. The manufacturer lists selected refrigerators, smaller microwaves, coffee makers, or power tools. For USB, it offers one USB-C with Power Delivery up to 100 W, a second USB-C with 20 W, and two USB-A ports at 18 W each, plus a 12V car socket.

The charging speed is surprising: it draws up to 1,100 W from the mains, so even with more than triple the capacity, it charges in approximately 1.8 hours, practically as fast as the small Atlas. The solar input can handle 200 W. In case of a power outage, the Hyperion, according to Alza, switches to battery power within 10 ms, which should ensure uninterrupted operation for a computer or router. The equipment is complemented by an LED flashlight with an SOS mode. The station weighs 12 kg and costs 13,990 CZK.

AlzaPower Kronos 2048 Wh: the largest of the trio can even handle a kettle

The flagship is the AlzaPower Kronos with a capacity of 2,048 Wh. Its three 230V sockets can power 2,400 W continuously and up to 4,800 W short-term, so Alza includes electric kettles, microwaves, and refrigerators among suitable appliances. It has the most outputs: two USB-C with Power Delivery up to 100 W, four USB-A (two with QC 3.0 and 18 W, two with 12 W), a 12V car socket, a pair of DC5521, and additionally a powerful XT60 output (12 V / 25 A) for caravan and camping equipment.

The Kronos charges from the mains at 1,200 W, and a full charge takes approximately 2.5 hours. The main difference, however, is the XT90 solar input, which accepts up to 500 W and supports connecting multiple panels – the panels themselves are not included in the package. It has backup power with a 10 ms switchover and an LED flashlight, just like the Hyperion. However, the term “portable” needs to be considered carefully here: the station weighs 22.3 kg, almost six times more than the Atlas. The Kronos costs 23,990 CZK, and Alza delivers it for free.

How do the three AlzaPower charging stations differ?

For a quick comparison, we have summarized the main parameters of all three models in the table:

One thing is clearly visible from the table: the larger the station, the cheaper each watt-hour of capacity. With the Atlas, you pay approximately 17.3 CZK per Wh, with the Hyperion 13.7 CZK, and with the Kronos only about 11.7 CZK per watt-hour.

Which one to choose?

The Atlas will be appreciated mainly by those who need to charge a laptop, phone, and small electronics while traveling by car or camping, and who value low weight. The Hyperion is a reasonable compromise for cottage owners and households that want to keep a refrigerator, computer, or router running during an outage. The Kronos is worthwhile if you plan to power more demanding appliances, travel with a caravan, or want to supplement energy from a larger solar setup.

One final note: all three stations are brand new, so they currently do not have a single user review, and all performance and charging speed data come from Alza. Only time will tell how they perform in real-world operation.

Would you get one of the new AlzaPower stations for your cottage or as a backup in case of a power outage?
