Perfect for camping or during a power blackout. The internal high capacity 11.1V 14Ah Li-ion battery provides up to 155Wh of battery power (equivalent to a 42Ah portable USB power bank).
A built-in 100W (150W peak) modified sinewave inverter is enough to power small tools, shavers, and laptop power supplies, for example. 12VDC ports enable you to power 12V lights, air compressors, etc., and Smartphones, Tablets, and other USB devices can be charged from the 2 x 2.1A USB Ports and USB-C Qualcomm™ QuickCharge® 3.0 port (total 3.5A max. shared).
The LED light panel provides enough light for reading, and the ultra-bright LED torch features a flashing mode to draw attention in an emergency.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
