The ALLPOWERS R1500 is a portable power station with a 1,152 Wh LiFePO4 battery and a continuous output of 1,800 W. It can power multiple devices, recharge from mains electricity or solar panels, and provide backup power during an outage. At 16.7 kg, however, it is relatively heavy, and its actual runtime depends on the devices connected.
Battery capacity and output
The 1,152 Wh battery can supply power to electronics, small household appliances or tools. At a steady draw of 50 W, a simple calculation gives approximately 23 hours of runtime. This is a theoretical figure that excludes energy conversion losses, so actual runtime will be shorter. For a refrigerator, runtime also depends on how often its compressor runs and how much power it draws.
The station delivers 1,800 W of continuous power and a short-term peak of 3,000 W. The higher peak output can help start some appliances, but it is not a substitute for continuous power. When using multiple devices, check their combined power draw.
The LiFePO4 battery is rated for up to 3,500 charge cycles, after which it is expected to retain approximately 80% of its original capacity. The available information does not specify the conditions under which this figure is achieved, and actual battery life depends on how the station is used.
Charging from mains, solar panels or a car
The R1500 charges from mains electricity at up to 1,500 W and can reach 80% capacity in 45 minutes. This can be useful before a trip or during a break with access to a power outlet.
Its MPPT-regulated solar input accepts up to 650 W, allowing the station to recharge away from the grid. Actual charging power depends on the panels and conditions. Before connecting panels, check that their voltage, current and connectors are compatible with the station’s input.
There are four charging options: mains electricity, solar panels, a car socket, or a combination of mains and solar. This lets users choose a source based on what is available when travelling.
Sockets and ports
The R1500 has four 230 V AC outlets. They can power multiple appliances at once, but their combined continuous power draw must remain within the station’s 1,800 W output limit. The short-term peak is 3,000 W. Check that the voltage and outlet configuration are compatible with your devices and local requirements.
Other outputs provide direct power and charging for smaller devices:
- Two USB-C ports, up to 100 W, for compatible laptops, tablets and phones.
- Two 18 W USB-A ports for phones and other electronics.
- A 12 V car socket with a 10 A limit for compatible 12 V devices, including when travelling.
App and backup power
The station supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and is compatible with a mobile app. The app can be used to monitor battery status and control the station remotely.
Its UPS function can switch to backup power within 15 ms. This may help during a brief power outage, but it does not guarantee uninterrupted operation for every sensitive device or protection against data loss. Check the requirements of the equipment you intend to connect.
Dimensions and portability
The station measures 413 × 312 × 265 mm and weighs 16.7 kg. It can be useful for camping, car trips or backing up selected household appliances, but it is relatively heavy for frequent carrying over longer distances. Its main strength is the combination of capacity, output and charging options; the trade-offs are its weight and limited energy supply when powering more demanding appliances.
