Our verdict
A large-capacity unit held back by aging NMC cells. The capacity is real; the cycle life and charge speed are a generation behind.
Best for: Occasional-use backup where low cycle count won't bite.
What we like
- 3,032Wh, expandable
- 2,000W output with WiFi monitoring
Where it falls short
- NMC — ~500 cycles against 4,000 for LiFePO4 rivals
- 69.75 lb and a 4-hour recharge
- 2-year warranty
