Reviews
Waterproof Solar Panel Compatibility Issue
One user found that the standard size cannon connector for their solar panel needed one of the many adapters in the Southwire set to connect, which could pose a problem when out and about. Another user noted that the DC 5 A ports require a cable that is not included in the pack of power tip adapters. They also mentioned that the tiny rubber cover for those ports is not very secure and could easily get lost. However, these are relatively minor issues that don’t detract from the product’s overall performance.
Compact Portable Power Station with Multiple Charging Options
The Southwire Elite 500 Series Backup Lithium Battery has six ways to charge, including a car DC outlet, solar panel, wall outlet, USB Power Delivery, PD + AC, or a generator. This makes it a versatile and convenient tool for anyone in need of backup power or who enjoys outdoor activities such as camping. Additionally, the 515 watt-hour capacity UL-certified lithium-ion battery can charge quickly from 0% to 100% in as little as 4 hours.
Suitable for Powering a Variety of Devices
Many users have found that the product is suitable for powering a variety of devices, including laptops, phones, tablets, and even a 32” LED TV for more than 9 hours at a time. It is also ideal for medical devices that need to be kept cold or running small appliances during power outages. It does max out at 300 watts, which means it may not be enough to power some desktop computers, but it has enough power to run a cable modem and router to allow the use of Wi-Fi during outages.
Power Outage Solution with Limited Circumstances
The Southwire Elite 500 Series Backup Lithium Battery is a good solution for power outages in certain circumstances. It has a fair amount of power, and its 6 ways to charge make it easy to keep going even when the power is out. However, it can only power devices up to 300 watts, which may not be enough for some users. It also doesn’t come with a cable for the DC 5 A ports, which could be an issue for some.
Sturdy and Industrial Grade Portable Power Bank with Washout Display
One user noted that the Southwire Elite 500 Series Backup Lithium Battery is sturdier than some other no-name units in the same class and looks good too. While they had issues with the display washing out in sunlight, they also found that it charged just fine using a solar panel. Another user appreciated the industrial-grade quality of the product and the readable size font in the instructions. However, the small rubber plugs in the front panel cannon connectors for DC and charging are not attached to the unit, which could pose a problem over time. The built-in tray on top of the unit is practical for holding phones and parts during use, but it doesn’t close for storage. Overall, the Southwire Elite 500 Series Backup Lithium Battery is a reliable and versatile power bank for both emergency and outdoor use.
