Why this power station is interesting

This portable Anker power station solves situations where you need electricity where there’s no outlet – at a cottage, campsite, in a car, or during a power outage at home. At its heart is a 288 Wh LiFePO4 battery with a declared lifespan of over 3,000 charging cycles, which the manufacturer translates to up to 10 years of normal use. Unlike cheap power banks, you also get two classic 230V sockets, so you can power appliances that cannot be charged via USB. And because the package also includes a foldable 60W solar panel, you can replenish energy directly from the sun.

Key parameters explained in plain language

The continuous output power is 300 W, short-term up to 600 W thanks to SurgePad technology – this is enough for a laptop, lights, projector, small refrigerator, or tools with lower power consumption. Power is distributed through eight output ports, including a bidirectional USB-C with 140 W power, two AC outlets, USB-A, and a 12V car socket. Charging is fast: from the mains to 100% in about 70 minutes, or via powerful USB-C. A bonus is the UPS mode with a 10 ms switchover, which keeps sensitive devices (such as a CPAP machine or network drive) running even during a sudden outage. You can monitor the battery status and charging in the Anker app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Practical aspects: endurance, portability, panel

The station weighs 4 kg and measures 24 × 16.4 × 16.1 cm, so you can easily carry it with one hand or store it in a backpack. The included PS60 panel folds to A4 size, weighs only 1.77 kg, and has IP68 protection, so rain and dust don’t bother it. The station’s design is made for outdoor use – a durable unibody construction and active temperature management, which, according to the manufacturer, monitors the battery up to 100 times per second. To give you an idea of real-world endurance: on a single charge, it can charge a phone about 20 times, a laptop about 5 times, power a mini-fridge for about 6.5 hours, or a projector for approximately 4.5 hours.

What to watch out for

A few things are good to know beforehand. The 288 Wh capacity and 300 W power are dimensioned for electronics and smaller appliances – you won’t run a kettle, hairdryer, or a more powerful microwave here; a larger model is needed for that. Also, pay attention to solar charging: the station can accept up to 100 W from the solar input, but the included panel only has 60 W, so the promised “3-hour recharge” applies more to a stronger panel and ideal conditions – in practice, expect a longer time.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you want to power energy-intensive appliances (water heating, heating, most kitchen appliances), this class of power station is not enough – look for models with 1,000 W of power and more. Similarly, if you are dealing with multi-day off-grid operation, the 288 Wh capacity will be depleted relatively quickly, and it makes sense to opt for a higher series. And if you already have a solar panel at home, consider whether it’s worth paying extra for the whole set or just buying the station itself.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

For 6,713 CZK with code ALZADNY30, you get a complete set – a portable power station with 288 Wh and two 230V sockets, plus a 60W solar panel. Compared to the usual 9,590 CZK and the last promotion for 8,899 CZK, this is a significantly lower price and also the lowest amount for which Alza has offered the station so far. For camping, a cottage, backing up sensitive devices, or working in the field, it’s a balanced choice; just don’t expect it to power energy-intensive household appliances.
