Oupes Mega 1 review: I finally found a portable power station I can store in my truck

"In our lab testing, we found it was the most efficient portable power station in the small-size category (600-1,100Wh), which is why it received a ZDNET Lab Award. And in my hands-on testing, it's found a place in my truck as a reliable portable power station."

"The unit is a 1,024Wh unit with 2,000W (4,500W peak output) unit and weighs in at a shade under 30 pounds. It can run things from CPAP to refrigerators, and can be recharged using AC, vehicle 12V, solar, or a combination of AC and solar, giving it a great amount of flexibility."

"Powering the unit are a bank of LiFePO4 cells that are good for 3,500 recharge cycles -- that's a daily charge/recharge for over nine years. I can't quite test that yet, but I can give its durability a test, and I'm more than happy with how robust the Mega 1 has turned out to be."
