Takki 111Wh Portable Solar Generator Power Station with 21W Foldable Solar Panel, 120W Peak Solar Charger Power Bank with 110V AC DC USB Ports for Camping Emergency Outdoor Home Use

This Takki S81 is great! I need 120V AC on/near my kitchen table for laptop when battery dies. It takes up less room than the older Anker unit I used. This power station provided an additional 11 hours of laptop runtime from "dead to dead agajn". The S81 provides 80 watts of 120 volts continiually, but laptop charger only draws 40-42 watts until laptop reaches 85%, then draws 25 watts. S81 didnt run 11 hours, but I charged laptop partially twice ran it 11 hours more from dead. Best part, S81 doesnt shut off automatically when AC power draw is under 20 watts like my older Anker unit. It kept AC output on with a 1 watt load, as well as nothing plugged in. The USB outputs will shut off after 20 seconds though if the DC draw is too low as with smaller devices or approaching full charge. Luckily the manual stated that to avoid this, simply turn on the AC outlet, even though no AC cord needs to be plugged into it. Cooling fan didnt come on until running AC for 1 hour, but was extremely quiet. My Anker unit fan comes on right away with same laptop, based on sensing power draw, not temperature. Had to struggle to hear fan on the Takki. Discharging air measured only 100⁰F. Initially was looking for a fanless station due to my Anker station fan became very loud over 5 years. Wish I knew that Takki made the "S81 Max" model. Is identical in every way, dimensions, power, etc., except a 25% bigger battery (25% more runtime) for only $28 more. I also wish this unit was pure sine wave AC, but is "modified sine wave" (square wave). No issue running the laptop charger though. Great looking unit! And compact size which was biggest attraction. Great for low powered AC appliances. Convenient, compact, attractive, and many features/functions.

I got this in the beginning of the week before my camping trip and I absolutely love it! I tested it days before and it was able to charge my phone and iPad no problem. I used it for my camping trip and it was able to fully charge my phone and iPad again, and inflate my air mattress. It eventually ran out of battery on the second day of my trip, so I had to charge it again, which took a few hours. I might buy the solar powered one next time so I’m able to recharge it on the spot. It’s very easy to use, portable, great for camping, and worth my money. Though the “car charger” isn’t really a charger. It’s just an adapter to plug something into, so it’s useless. The wall charger works as it should. I had to cover up the battery light because it’s too bright at night.

Great little unit for the money, I was able to power desk lamp, computer and charge my phone in remote cabin at night and then use the panel to keep the unit topped up, really worked way better than expected. Also, ran a very small pool pump (.2A/.02HP) all day with solar panel charging and it never event dipped on charge charge indicator, stayed full charge for over 7 hours.

I purchased the smaller version a year ago to keep my phone charged when I travel or camp. It's been phenomenal. Couldn't be happier. Then I decided to get this version to use during power outages, as we've been having a lot of them lately. Anyway, I knew it wouldn't power the refrigerator, but I was hoping it could at least power the coffee pot. Nope. It's not strong enough for that, but it does keep my motorcycle trickle charger going, so that's good. But, had I known, I would have just purchased another small one. The small one is much easier to carry around, and I think the flashlight on it is better also.

I got this battery over a year ago, by asking an Amazon associate to choose a quality outdoor battery for my small water fountain. After a month, the charge, which does not last as long as advertised, started to go down by 70% being "full". I followed the warranty instructions on the box (only an email) and never got a response. Eventually, the unit stopped holding a charge, so I called Amazon for help. First Amazon told me to write to the manufacturer again and give them 72 hours to reply, then let them know. I complied, and when I got no reply, I called Amazon again, and they told me to email the manufacturer one more time and give them 24 hours to reply. No response. So I let Amazon know, and after a long time on the phone, Amazon told me they could not help, even after making me jump through all those hoops. In the end, they did not even offer to replace the unit, and after complaining about all the time I spent on the phone, doing exactly what they told me to do twice, all I got was an apology and a ten dollar gift certificate credit. This type of situation has been happening a lot with Amazon product, particularly those on sale. I caution everyone to find out where the product was made and to research the manufacturer and find out if they are a reputable manufacturer. Do your research. Most AI platforms are free and you can type in, asking about the reputability of the factory that makes the item and get an answer within the AI's free window. Amazon has gone to the extremes of knowingly selling unreliable items and their lines are busy because people are trying to replace their items. Do your research. Amazon has gone to the wolves of Wall Street ....

Great for my Daughter and Husband for their gadgets. Great for our camping this summer. Won't be stressing out to look for a plug for their gadgets. Not all camp site has an outlet this one really helps. Next time I;ll should order the bigger one but this one is fine can carry with my belt bag..Highly recommended for camping and long travels..

Works great, for its size. It won’t power up a fridge , but will work for all smaller devices you may use for camping. Phone, laptop, misting fans, air compressors and etc. the fact that it comes with solar panels for its price is what convinced me to get this. First thing I did was use the solar panels to charge this baby up. I work for the post office and always have misting fans. Mini hand held blowers, battery jumpers and other devices that I power up and charge width this using free energy with those solar panels. Best investment by far. Good price compared to all the others I’ve seen. And I’m thinking of getting a bigger one to run some household items. 😀

The powerstation itself charged an ipad for 5 hours very slowly, but when we needed to plug in LED lights it died really quickly without any notice. You cant tell how much juice it has left because the lights blink as opposed to being solid. After charging the solar panel for several hours across multiple days we decided to plug it in to power the lights at our fireworks stand and it did so for a measly 30 minutes before leaving us in the dark. It has jacks for 2 plugs, 4 USB, a C connector, and a 12V plug but could not handle 2 things plugged in for more than 10 minutes before dying. I would be very hesistant to buy this and expect it to power a weekend camping trip. Overall, very disappointing, especially the solar panel. Had I known the solar could only power 1 thing at a time and only run LED lights for 10 minutes after 10s of hours of charging, I would've bought a bigger box without solar for a cheaper price. It needs charging every night anyway. My first foray into solar and it was a major flop. I only gave it 3 stars because it kept my ipad POS powered for a few hours. Maybe I expected too much?

Used it for camping. Had to charge it at the bathroom during the day, but overall it was pretty great. The light is incredibly bright and it helps charging my phone over night when I sleep in a tent. Only downside is that it will automatically turn off when unused, which would be great if it could actually tell when it’s unused. It turned off a few times when I still needed it…

i’ve had it for barely a year and it won’t charge to full anymore? i used it literally once last year. not worth it.

This little generator fitted our needs we charged phones 5 times and a portable speaker once and it still had 2 bars left on the power indicator. We had charged it 2 weeks before we left on our camping trip. As far as the solar panel goes we didn't need to use that so that is why I gave 4 stars.

J'adore! J'ai été en mesure de gonfler un matelas queen de camping sans problème et j'ai charger un téléphone et un termacel a plusieurs reprises avant que la batterie soir vide.

Great but has a short battery life.
