Small, Light "Starter" power station.
By NiteForce9 on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2025
This small (battery size) power station works well, it is made by a company that usually does a good job with their fault protection and prevention. I have two other power stations that (from the looks and build) seem to be from the same manufacturer although all three power stations have different brand names. This power station has one input DC input and it charges at about 65 watts using the supplied AC charging cord, this same input port charges at about 109 watts when plugged into 12v "cigarette lighter" port using the supplied cable. Overall, the design is generic and easy to understand. There are only 2 minor drawbacks, one is the way the AC plugs are arranged, it would be very hard to plug in 2 AC devices with large plugs at the same time and in the rare case you could plug in two large plugs, one of those plugs likely block access to some of the USB ports the other very minor drawback is the size, based on the pictures, battery size and the measurements on the sale page, I expected the power station to be a bit smaller than it actually is, there are other power stations with the same size batteries that come in much smaller form factors, this power station is not meaningfully smaller than power stations with twice the battery capacity. (I'll upload pictures to support this statement). For the money this power station is still a win, it's light and small and with its LFP battery it should last for many years even if used and recharged daily. It would be a great little "starter power station" for someone who is new to power stations and doesn't want to spend a lot of money to sample these types of products. With the proper solar panel this could be part of a very small solar generator, and it could be a good introduction to "green power" for camping and such. For me this is part of my "distributed" off grid power solution where I have a small power station in each room just in case of storms and for the fun of it. Although I don't know the name of the actual manufacturer, I like all three of the power stations I have that seem to be products of the same OEM. For reference the Tenergy T600 is the largest of the three in the pictures above, it's on the right, the GoLabs R500 is on the left it was my "starter power station" and has been a rock of reliability, the subject of this review is the Pangootek R600 which is in the middle of the other two. In the close up of the Pangootek the AC sockets are visible and it can be seen how close they are to each other. The T600 has a battery that is slightly more than double the size of the Pangootek but physically they are very close in size.

Doesn't work
By N. Piros on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024
*** UPDATE *** Rec'd email from manufacturer wanting to walk me through fixing my problem. They indicated the units can get a "false battery display" because they are in the boxes for so long. This means the battery display may say it's at 100% but it's really at 30%. I charged it before losing power for approx 5-6 hours. When we lost power, it immediately shut-off when I plugged my CPAP into it and would not re-start. We then charged it for approx. 12 hours using a solar panel. Still would not turn on. We then charged it for 12+ hours after our power was restored. Still would not turn on. The only time we could get the screen to turn on was while it was charging. If I have to guess how much power the battery has when I'm in an emergency situation because the display is faulty/false, why do I even have it? Still a 1-star review. Original review: Bought to use to power my CPAP machine because I knew we would lose power during Hurricane Milton. Battery came partially charged (80% according to screen) so I plugged it in to get it fully charged before the storm hit. Screen said battery was charged to 100%. We lost power overnight. I turned on the battery & plugged my CPAPin to the AC output and pressed the AC power button - the battery completely shut-down and now it won't turn on at all. Wattage is more than sufficient to power a CPAP - no idea why it shut-off but it's now useless to me. Manual says to press the "communication button" to enter communication mode after plugging my appliance in. No idea what the communication button is because there is nothing in the manual or on the battery labeled as such.
