Brief conclusions of the comparison portable power stations

The ANKER SOLIX F1500 and ANKER SOLIX F1200 charging stations have similar features but differ in power and battery capacity. The F1500 offers a rated power of 1800W and peak power of 2400W, while the F1200 has a rated power of 1500W and peak power of 3000W. The battery capacity of the F1500 is 1536 Wh, which is greater than the 1229 Wh of the F1200. Both devices support UPS functionality and have the same number of outputs, including 4 USB A ports and 2 USB C ports. Users note the high reliability and ease of use of both models; however, the F1500 may be preferred for those who require more power and capacity.

Price comparison

Glossary

Rated power

Power that a device can consistently produce for an indefinitely long time without any unpleasant consequences. For normal operation of the charging station, the rated power must be at least 15 - 20% higher than the total power of all devices simultaneously connected to it.

Peak power

Some electrical appliances (in particular, units with electric motors - refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.) consume significantly more energy at startup than after reaching the operating mode. For such a load, the peak power of the charging station must be taken into account - its indicator must be higher than the starting power of the load.

Battery capacity

Nominal battery capacity, in fact - the amount of energy that is supposed to be stored. The larger it is, the longer the battery life of the charging station will be, all other things being equal. On the other hand, this parameter also affects the dimensions, weight and price of the battery, despite the fact that an energy-intensive battery is not always required. By the indicator of capacity in watt-hours, you can compare batteries with each other.

Charging time (socket) ≈

Time to charge the portable power station from a fully discharged state to 100% charge when using the power adapter from a household outlet. This refers to the original battery and standard charger.

Charging time (solar panel) ≈

Time spent on a full charge when using the original panel in bright sunlight. In cloudy weather, the charging time of the device from the solar panel can be strikingly different downwards.

Charging time (cigarette lighter) ≈

The time required to fully (from zero to 100%) charge the battery, provided that power is supplied to the charging station from the car's cigarette lighter socket (12 V).

Charging power (solar panel)

The power in watts provided when charging a device from a solar panel.

The higher the charging power, all other things being equal, the less time it will take to replenish the energy reserves in the cells of the device's own battery. This section provides the maximum power value that the charging station can accept. Accordingly, this indicator is supposed to be taken into account when choosing compatible solar panels.

Warranty

Warranties for charging stations usually provide users with protection against manufacturing defects and malfunctions for a certain period, which may vary depending on the manufacturer. Warranty service includes free repair or replacement of components if the problem is not the user's fault. The warranty period can be from one year to several years, and it is important to consider conditions such as correct installation, use of the station for its intended purpose, and compliance with technical requirements.
