FOSSiBOT F2400: portable power station with 2048 Wh capacity and 2400 W output

The FOSSiBOT F2400 is a portable power station with a 2048 Wh capacity and a 2400 W output. It can power electronics, tools and smaller appliances on the road, at a remote worksite or during a power outage. It supports charging at up to 1600 W and includes a display, active cooling and an LED light.

Capacity and output

The 2048 Wh capacity describes how much energy the battery stores, while the 2400 W output determines the maximum load the station can power. When running several devices at once, their combined power draw matters. The station also has a short-term peak output of 4600 W, which may help start appliances with a higher initial power draw. This peak is not a continuous rating, and its permitted duration and conditions are not specified in the available information.

Runtime depends on the power draw of connected devices and energy conversion losses. At a constant 100 W load, the capacity provides approximately 20 hours in theory. Actual runtime will be shorter because of losses and can vary with use.

The capacity is also stated as approximately 640,000 mAh. That conversion from 2048 Wh applies at 3.2 V; the mAh figure would differ at another voltage. Watt-hours are therefore more useful for comparing available energy.

Fast charging

The station supports charging at up to 1600 W. It is rated to reach 80% capacity in approximately 70 minutes and a full charge in approximately 90 minutes. These are indicative times: actual charging time depends on the conditions and may vary between uses.

Fast charging can be useful between trips to remote worksites or before using the station again as a backup power source. The charging input should not be confused with the output supplied to connected devices.

Display, cooling and LED light

A front display shows charging and battery status information, allowing users to monitor remaining energy. Active cooling uses seven fans to help dissipate heat during operation. The station also has a 1 W LED light for handling it in the dark or in poor lighting.

Design and uses

The F2400 has a matte black finish, a non-slip surface and carry handles. The handles make it easier to grip when moving it to a worksite, into the field or to a location without access to mains power.

During a power outage, the station can supply selected devices as long as their combined draw stays within its output limits. Appliances with a high startup draw must also stay within the limits of the short-term peak output. Battery capacity, meanwhile, determines how long the devices can remain powered.
