ITEHIL LiFePO4 500W 500Wh Solar Generator

ITEHIL battery is LiFePO4, and just spend $400 to get it, I think that's cost-effective, while Jackery old ternary lithium battery still needs $500.

Wile living in Florida I realized that I needed a back-up for the generator. Yeah the generator will keep my fridge and freezer working, but it doesn’t really address the need to recharge smart phones and power a small fan if the power goes out. So originally I did order and purchase a cheaper power supply from a unknown brand. And as soon as I saw this and read about it here on this site. I immediately sent the other brand back and bought this one. So very impressed. Charges fast and everything worked and no defects. It’s a beauty and a keeper. The display gives a lot more information than what others give. And the outer shell is very sturdy and the handle. Although I was worried about the handle because of the weight of the power supply (it’s not that heavy). But after looking at it and seeing how the handle is connected I quickly realized that it’s nothing to worry about and that it won’t break while I’m transporting the unit from place to place.
As for questions I had? I was quickly responded to with answers from Ivy (great person). I do wish it had cover plugs for the outlets or a carrying case so I can store it and not worry about it except to recharge it every so often. I’m very happy with the price and quality of this item and the other stuff I purchased here on this site. Also regarding a quick delivery. I wouldn’t pay the extra $19.99 cost for a faster service because the shipping/delivery service and Covid has slowed things down. So just be patient and it will get to you within 5-8 days.
Don’t forget to download the warranty and instruction manual for the power supply and solar panel.

On a quick note you can put a outlet plug protector in the ac outlets. That’s what I’m going to do anyway. It’s a cheap and easy solution that will give me peace of mind.

I like that this ITEHIL IT500 has a LiFeP04 battery (should be durable).
I bought this unit with a discount coupon so felt it was a good value. We've had one power outage since we received this unit. it works with about a total 200w load (fan, several LED lights) and the outage lasted about 3 hours. The battery was barely drained and the unit was pretty quiet while running.
and I noticed something interesting, it turns out that leaving the front panels turned off when there's nothing plugged into them, it does appear to automatically turn off.
So I asked the seller how long the battery can last without any output. They told me it will last 3-5 years, but for battery life, it needs to be recharged every three months. That's mean after the first full charge, they stay ready when we need them any time. It's a great emergency power station for us.

This power station checks all the boxes. I ran a CPAP machine for 4 nights (8 hours) and still had 10% left in the power station after the 4th night.

I heard about this on Pinball Preparedness when he did a review of the 500, I knew this was just what I needed ! Small, enough out put to run my fans, computer and internet service ! And maybe charge a phone. It does all that with power to spare !! Every one doesnt need to run a whole house on a generator, or even a freezer or fridge. This one really fits the bill for a lower power need. Ans at a great price. I would have locked a better manual, but since I saw it on pinball, I just reviewed his video. I do still have a question ,Should I leave it plugged in to the wall after fully charged or should it be un plugged ? It really is a great little generator, perfect for my needs. It even powered my basic sewing machine !!!
