FlashFish T200 Portable Power Station | 200W + 153.6Wh

It excellent 👌. Work really well

My thoughts. For the price, this is a GOOD deal. It does what it's advertised to do without failure. However, there are some limitations. Read on.1st. A quick test of each port reveals that everything works, consistently in Texas heat. I was about to maintain right below the 300-watt maximum output from the AC port for an extended period. This is just fine for powering lights, your cell phone, and maybe a CPAP. For me, it's a bit low but admittedly I have more intense demands.2nd. It's relatively lightweight (as expected) and durable (so far). The charge rate is perfectly serviceable but of course not what you might expect from the biggest brands.3rd. Connectivity options are GREAT! Full-speed bi-directional USB C PD, other USB, multiple DC outputs & AC inverted output are included. DC & AC inputs are available. Capacity is sufficient.ONE POTENTIAL ISSUE.When the draw rate from A/C is low or falls to 0 the unit does shut off the inverter after hours of use. This could be a problem if you use a portable CPAP or have some other low-power demand.My view is that this product has ALL the basics right. At $150 I don't think one can expect more. However, more $ means that the core features are enhanced -- greater inverter capacity and a bigger battery --. Keep that in mind if you go forward with this unit. I think most would be happier paying $50 for other options that come with that little bit bigger battery.I don't think you can go wrong with power stations. It does 100% of what it's advertised to do and so far it has been problem-free.

It appears that this unit was designed to be a direct competitor to the Bluetti AC2A. I currently own a Bluetti EB3A Portable Solar Generator (which is 1 level bigger than this unit. I will do a side-by-side comparison of these 3 units. And give my feedback.Price: These 2 units are almost identical in pricing. Both are a little over two hundred. since my Bluetti is twice as powerful, the better value is the Bluetti. If compared with the smaller Bluetti AC2A, the bluetti still wins since the smaller one is about 40 cheaper.Battery Capacity:AC2A - 230whEB3A – 268WhFlashFish – 230WhNotes: This flashfish battery is a good middle ground. Personally I has extra LiFePO4 batteries that I use to extend my portable generator. With the included internal battery, you can run at max continuous output for only 40 minutes at most. If you are running a small load, like powering a Modem and WiFi Router together to keep the internet going during a power outage (20w together) you could expect about 10-11hrs.AC Inverter Output:AC2A – This has a continuous output of 300W and a surge of 600W.EB3A – This has a Continuous output of 600W and a Surge of 1200WFlashFish – continuous of 300W and a Surge of 600WNotes: at the 300w output range, there isn’t very many appliances that run on such a small load. This is more for small electronics (routers, laptops, desktops, cell phones, TVs, and such) if you are looking to use this for keeping a fridge running during a power outage, you will need 1 step larger. Realistically a 2.5A output isn’t that much.DC Output: both units have a 12V 10A max DC Output. Both have the same connector (cigarette lighter plug)Solar Input: the Bluetti is rated for 200w max of solar input (12-18V @ a max of 8.5A) the Flashfish states a Solar input range of 12-30V @Max Current of 8Amps. So in theory the FlashFish has a wider range of solar panels that can connect to it. (topping off at 240W). The Flasfish does have an additional method of charging vs. the Bluetti. It hosts a USB-C PD port. This port can support a 100W bi-directional flow. This allows the flashfish to quickly charge a electronic device or it can be charged by a car charger or wall adapter.AC Charging: the Bluetti has a Max AC input of 1080W (120V a@9A) the FlashFish states a Max AC charge input of 230W. one of the cool features that the FlashFish has is the ability to charge via a USC-C port (it supports either charge and discharge on this port).Light – the Bluetti EB3A has a round light that can be Hi / Low / Strobe. The FlashFish has a very nice light bar that is embedded into the handle so it can adjust to point either forward or up. This gives it a bit more functionality.AppBoth Bluetti’s have a pretty nice app that has had years of refinement. The FlashFish does not have an App.Warranty – the Bluetti’s come with a 24 month warranty. The FlasFish claims to have a 24 month warranty as well.Overall Thoughts: After doing the side-by-side comparison, I don’t think that I would choose the FlashFish again. At its current price point, there are many other options that offer more features and larger outputs. I can’t see a scenario where it would be advantageous to select this product over its competition.Life Cycle –AC2A – 3000 cyclesEB3A – 2500 cyclesFlashFish – 3500 cyclesAll of these systems have a LiFePO4 battery. I can attest to the quality of the Bluetti’s so far. I’ve used them for a couple years and they have kept their capacity and I have not really seen too much degradation. I am still unsure of the longevity of the FlashFish, just because they are a new company to me. If we trust the claimed 3500 cycles, then this would have a life of 9.6 years.Overall: This flashfish solar generator is a nice unit. However when compared side-by-side to its competition, i think it falls short. For the price, there are better options that give you much higher capabilities.

My husband absolutely loves this solar generator. This portable power station has brought so much convenience to our outdoor activities. First of all, its size and weight are just right—only 9.9 lbs. It charges quickly; just over an hour before heading out is enough to fully charge it. Once we’re outside, it can be recharged with a solar panel or a car charger. It comes with 9 charging ports, so when we’re outdoors, we no longer have to worry about keeping our electronic devices powered.

This is actually the third power station that I have experience with. My daughter had given us one for Christmas years and now this and another I have had the honor of trying, testing, and reviewing. For this one, the light on the handle - of all the things, I know, LOL - is 'like' my favorite thing. It flashes SOS as well and is a task light. When I plug in my phone to charge, both ways, in the AC and the USBs, it is the same exact amount of time as my regular house outlet, pleasantly surprised. This one is also a plus because it has power saving button, so it will turn off in 6 hours if you want. The display is accurate, pleasant to look at, a nice warm white tone, you see the watts you are using. The charge time is a bit more than 1% per minute, another great thing, so within 10 minutes I am 13% more charged consistently. I did try to purchase the cable for a solar panel but it is currently unavailable. The nice about that is that in the owner's manual, they give you the part number, so I was excited to order but, again, not available. The fan on it works for cooling the unit. I have zero complaints and say it is worth considering. And, the part number for the cable is DC7909/Mo4.
